⚡ [ANN] PowLayer — Decentralized Proof-of-Work Layer 1 ⚡
Ethash | EVM Compatible | Smart Contracts

🔥 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, NFTs, GameFi, SocialFi
Open Mining — Fair participation for miners worldwide
No Dev Fees — 100% of block rewards go to miners
No Uncle Rewards — Fixed tokenomics with a clean max supply

🌍 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

💠 Tokenomics

Ticker: XPL
Max Supply: 10,000,000 XPL
Premine: 2,000,000 XPL (20%) — ecosystem, listings, liquidity, community
Mineable: 8,000,000 XPL (80%)
Fees / Tax: None (0 dev fees, 0 tx tax)
Uncle Rewards: 0 (to keep supply predictable)

⛏ Emission Schedule:

Block Range	Reward	Coins Emitted	Est. Duration (@12.5s)
1 → 500,000	1.0 XPL	500,000 XPL	~72 days
500,001 → 1,500,000	0.5 XPL	500,000 XPL	~144 days
1,500,001 → 71,500,000	0.1 XPL	7,000,000 XPL	~27.7 years

Total Mineable: 8,000,000 XPL
Total Supply: 10,000,000 XPL (Fixed Cap)
