What is Tenzura?

Quote

Tenzura is a cryptocurrency focused on fair distribution, security, and decentralization. Built on a pure proof-of-work consensus mechanism using the KawPow algorithm, Tenzura aims to create a balanced ecosystem where miners and users can participate equally from day one.

Note: This announcement comes after mining has been underway for some time, with most miners currently mining through pool.rplant.xyz. We're happy to officially introduce the project to the BitcoinTalk community and welcome new miners and users!

Project Origins & Vision

Tenzura was created with a specific vision that sets it apart from other cryptocurrency projects:

Origins: Born from the observation that many gaming-focused cryptocurrencies lacked true in-game utility and ownership
Why Ravencoin Codebase: Selected for its proven asset layer capabilities and KawPow's energy-efficient GPU mining
Core Philosophy: True digital ownership shouldn't require gatekeepers - games, assets, and currency should be fully decentralized
Long Term Vision: Building a complete ecosystem where gaming assets have real value and utility beyond a single game

While we're starting small with a two-developer team, we believe that building methodically with community involvement will create a more sustainable and valuable network over time.

Blockchain Status & Technical Details

Current Block Height	Current Difficulty	Blockchain Size
6,057	81.32	~3.5 MB
Difficulty Algorithm	Block Time	Max Supply
DGW-180 (Dark Gravity Wave)	60 seconds	21,000,000,000 TENZ

The blockchain is active and stable with several protocol features already enabled including:
Assets, Messaging, Transfer Script, Enforcement, and Coinbase features

Technical Foundation

Tenzura is built on the reliable Ravencoin codebase, inheriting its proven security model with one key modification:

Network Parameters	Core Modification
• P2P Port: 9767 • RPC Port: 9766 • Coinbase Maturity: 101 confirmations • Transaction Confirmation: 6 confirmations for finality	• Added 5% development fee to the consensus mechanism to support sustainable project growth

KawPow Algorithm & Mining

Tenzura uses the KawPow mining algorithm, a variant of ProgPow designed to:

Maintain ASIC resistance to prevent mining centralization
Optimize for modern GPUs for fair mining distribution
Provide energy-efficient mining compared to some other algorithms
Ensure a balanced mining ecosystem across different hardware types

Asset Layer & P2E Development

Asset Layer Capabilities

Tenzura includes a powerful asset layer for creating tokens on the blockchain:

Asset Creation: 500 TENZ to create a unique named asset
Sub-assets: 100 TENZ to create assets under a namespace
Unique Assets: Create NFTs with individual identifiers
Asset Transfers: Send assets to any Tenzura address
Metadata: Include IPFS links for asset information

Play-to-Earn MMORPG

Quote

We're thrilled to announce our work on a Play-to-Earn MMORPG that will integrate directly with Tenzura's asset layer!

The game will feature:

Fully-realized fantasy world with extensive lore
Character progression and customization
In-game items as Tenzura assets (truly owned by players)
PvP and PvE content with economic rewards
Decentralized marketplace for trading items

While development is proceeding with our limited resources, we are aiming for implementation before the end of 2025. This integration will showcase the real-world utility of Tenzura's asset layer while providing an engaging gaming experience.

Development & Governance

Development Team & Progress

Currently, Tenzura has two active volunteer developers working on the project in their spare time. While this means development progresses somewhat slower than commercial projects, it maintains the grassroots, community-driven nature of the project.

Development Fund Transparency:
The 5% development fund is managed through a multi-signature wallet requiring approval from both core developers, with quarterly spending reports published to the community. Funds are exclusively used for:

Infrastructure costs (servers, explorers, pools)
Security audits and code reviews
Exchange listing fees (when applicable)
Development bounties for specific features

Community Governance

Despite having a small core development team, Tenzura is committed to community governance:

Development Proposals: Community members can submit improvement proposals through GitHub or Discord
Decision Making: Major protocol changes require community discussion and consensus before implementation
Transparency: Development meetings are held bi-weekly in our Discord with open community participation
Future DAO: Plans to eventually transition to a full DAO governance model using the Tenzura asset layer
