Introduction
Vision
Project X aims to leverage blockchain technology to create a sustainable, transparent system that supports individuals facing economic hardships, including the homeless. By integrating best practices from successful cryptocurrencies and implementing the hybrid GhostRider algorithm, Project X strives to provide immediate financial assistance, job training, employment opportunities, and financial literacy to empower individuals towards financial independence.
Objectives
Provide immediate financial assistance and resources to economically disadvantaged individuals.
Facilitate job training, employment opportunities, and financial literacy.
Establish a supportive community network through decentralized finance (DeFi).
Ensure the stability and security of the network with fair miner rewards and a balanced economic model.
Technical Specifications
Algorithm
Algorithm: Hybrid GhostRider (incorporating RandomX and Yescrypt)
Reasoning: GhostRider combines multiple algorithms to promote decentralization and accessibility, offering strong resistance to ASICs and GPUs.
Block Time and Confirmations
Block Confirmation Time: 2 minutes
Reasoning: A 2-minute block time strikes a balance between transaction speed and network efficiency, suitable for real-time financial transactions.
Confirmations: 6 confirmations for standard transactions
Reasoning: Six confirmations ensure network security while providing reasonable transaction speeds.
Block Rewards and Total Supply
Initial Block Reward: 10 Project X coins per block
Reasoning: A moderate block reward supports initial circulation while encouraging long-term network participation.
Total Supply: 100 million Project X coins
Reasoning: A total supply of 100 million coins balances scarcity and utility, ensuring long-term value appreciation.
Reward Halving: Every 4 years
Reasoning: Similar to Bitcoin’s model, halving maintains scarcity and incentivizes long-term holding and participation.
Vesting for Miners: Implement a tiered vesting system:
- Immediate Release: 30% of mined rewards released immediately.
- Short-term Vesting: 30% released after 1 month.
- Medium-term Vesting: 20% released after 3 months.
- Long-term Vesting: 20% released after 6 months.
Reasoning: Vesting prevents market flooding, ensures fair distribution, and stabilizes coin value.
Staking Incentives: Additional rewards for staking coins
Reasoning: Promotes network security and encourages long-term coin holding.
Vesting Importance
Vesting ensures stable coin distribution, prevents market manipulation, and supports long-term coin value.
Staking
Mechanism: Holders can stake Project X coins to earn rewards.
Staking Rewards: 5% annual return on staked coins
Lock-in Period: Minimum of 1 month
Reasoning: Staking incentivizes coin holding, enhances network security, and provides passive income opportunities.
