Chipcoin Protocol

Public testnet now includes full node, miner, snapshot bootstrap, and native Node Rewards.<br>Read how Node Rewards work

Independent blockchain protocol project

Chipcoin is an independent blockchain protocol project.

Chipcoin currently exposes a live public testnet with a full node, external miner,<br>browser wallet, snapshot bootstrap path, explorer, and a native on-chain Node Rewards<br>system for verified nodes. Chipcoin's core public claim is that it is building the<br>first native decentralized PoW protocol that also pays verified nodes, not only miners.

Protocol<br>Clear project scope

Start with the protocol page if you want the high-level explanation before using any public service.

Node Rewards<br>Native protocol novelty

Chipcoin keeps PoW mining, but also pays verified nodes through deterministic on-chain registration, renewal, attestation, and settlement.

Snapshot Bootstrap<br>Faster node startup

Trusted snapshot import reduces bootstrap time for new public-network nodes and recovery paths.

Docs<br>Technical reference

The docs page summarizes the current public services and operational boundaries.

What Chipcoin Is

A protocol project with a narrow and understandable public surface.

Chipcoin is a protocol project with a live testnet stack, not a placeholder shell.<br>The public site should describe what is already running and how the visible services<br>fit together.

The current live state includes a full node, external miner, browser wallet, snapshot<br>bootstrap, explorer access, and a native Node Rewards system that is operating on<br>the public testnet.

What Is Live Now

The current public testnet is broader and more concrete than a simple wallet demo.

The public site should reflect the real stack that is already live today, especially<br>the reward-node system and the faster node bootstrap path.
