We’re rewarding early supporters who help bootstrap the mining ecosystem! 

💰 500 XPL Bounty to each pool that lists PowLayer ($XPL) before 7 September 2025. 

✅ Rules: 

• Pool must be fully functional and open for miners
• Pool fee must be set to 0% for one week after listing

⚡ Build the foundation of PowLayer mining — fair, open, and decentralized.

Older post was pre-ann post, current post is the main ann post with same structure as old but with updated content.

We’ve deployed the public RPC ✅ 
You can already add PowLayer Mainnet in MetaMask! 🚀

🔥 Introduction  
PowLayer is a next-generation Layer 1 Proof-of-Work blockchain designed for decentralization, security, and scalability.  
At its core, PowLayer uses the Ethash algorithm, ensuring a fair and secure mining ecosystem while maintaining full EVM compatibility for smart contracts and dApps.  

PowLayer is built for those who believe that Proof of Work is the true foundation of decentralization.  

---

⚡ Key Features  

• Proof of Work (PoW) — Secured by the battle-tested Ethash algorithm
• Layer 1 Blockchain — Independent, decentralized, censorship-resistant
• EVM Compatible — Run Ethereum smart contracts seamlessly
• Smart Contracts — Full support for dApps, DeFi, and NFTs
• Open Mining — Fair participation for miners worldwide

---

🌍 Why PowLayer?  
As Ethereum and many others move away from Proof-of-Work, there is a growing demand for a true decentralized Layer 1 where security and fairness are guaranteed by energy and work.  

PowLayer fills this gap by combining:  

• The security of Ethash mining
• The flexibility of Ethereum’s ecosystem
• A pure commitment to decentralization

---

📌 Current Status  

• Core blockchain development: In progress
• Mainnet Launch: To be announced

🔥 The wait is over — PowLayer Mainnet goes live on: 
🗓 September 1st, 2025 — 00:00 UTC 

⏳ Countdown Link 

💠 What to expect: 
⚡ Proof-of-Work security (Ethash) 
⚡ Full EVM compatibility 
⚡ Fixed supply, no dev fees, no uncle rewards 
⚡ Built for DeFi, NFTs, GameFi, SocialFi & beyond 

⛏️ Mine. Build. Decentralize. 
👉 Welcome to the next-gen Proof-of-Work blockchain.

We understand the concern about the 20% premine — it’s a fair question and one we want to be very clear about. 

🔹 In the early days of crypto, many projects could rely on donations or volunteer contributions. But today, building a serious Proof-of-Work Layer 1 requires real funding for: 

• Exchange listings (DEX + CEX) 
• Liquidity provision so trading can actually function 
• Development & audits (security can’t be compromised) 
• Ecosystem grants & community programs to bootstrap adoption 
• Marketing & partnerships so the chain doesn’t just launch and then die silently 

🔹 Without a premine, many PoW forks in the past simply collapsed — miners may secure the chain, but without liquidity, integrations, and development, the network cannot survive. 

🔹 The premine is fixed, transparent, and one-time. 80% of supply is still mineable by the community, with no dev fees, no hidden taxes, and no inflation beyond the 10M cap. That’s very different from projects with unlimited supply or perpetual taxes. 

So, the premine isn’t about greed — it’s about ensuring PowLayer has the resources to actually grow, get adopted, and not repeat the mistakes of unfunded PoW forks that faded into obscurity. 

🔥 We’re excited to announce that the official PowLayer website is now online.
