Sorry for the wait. Apparently there isn't an accurate answer, but anecdotally it grows about 1 GB each month.

Yes, and it's over 80GB D:


Thanks for the link, we'll check it out.

Fixed the Whitepaper link.

We have a GPU mining manual for solo-mining at the Downloads page, and you can also check out the Federated Mining Pools (just download the GPU Mining Pool Client and read the README).
Do note that mining currently requires 8GB of RAM :-)

The Abelian mainnet was launched in 2022, and large progress has been made in the recent months.
This is our first post here, is this not appropriate for the announcement channel?

The Abelian network is a post-quantum privacy-preserving blockchain network, which adopts NIST standardized lattice-based cryptography, addressing the growing threat of quantum computers towards traditional blockchains. The Abelian network is not only proven to be cryptographically secure and quantum-resistant, but also supports privacy preserving properties of its token [ABEL] which ensures the anonymity and untraceability of transactions.

The founding members consist of world-renowned mathematicians and cryptographers from all across the globe, including:

• Dr. Duncan Wong - Co-inventor of linkable ring structures, author of over 200 cryptography research publications
• Prof. HuaXiong Wang - Top international mathematician proficient in lattice-based cryptography, threshold cryptography, and secret sharing
• Prof. Khoa Nyugen - Well-known cryptographer who has published papers in EUROCRYPT, PQCrypto and CRYPTO
• Prof. GuoMin Yang - Renowned cryptographer who has published papers in CRYPTO and ASIACRYPT
• With Advisor Prof. Juan Garay - Distributed Systems expert and IACR fellow

Blockchain Details:
- Total supply: 225.18 million ABEL, 9.14% pre-mined
- Block time: 256 seconds
- Difficulty adjustment: 4000 blocks (11.8 days)
- Block reward: Initially 256 ABEL, halves every 3.25 years
- Confirmation: 5 blocks

Our layer 1 network launched in early 2022, and we have processed over 480K transactions to date. We have partnerships with Draper Dragon, BTQ, and IEEE Blockchain Hong Kong, and ABEL was recently listed on the XT and MEXC exchanges. Our community is also thriving, with over 5000 miners and over 200,000 GPU cards involved in the mining, as well as over 20,000 followers combined on our social media.

Future Plans:
- Open-source code (by Q1 2024)
- Launch of Abelian User Tokens
- Layer 2 Smart Contracts
- Multi-level Privacy Features
- Post-Quantum Zero-Knowledge (PQZK) Bridge

Join us on the journey towards a decentralized, quantum-resistant blockchain with a focus on privacy and community empowerment.
Abelian - Secure the Quantum Era!
