Lore drop
Project ZED
Zedcoin is the random-x powered digital heir that keeps blockchains fun, fast, and defiantly on-chain. No gatekeepers, just pixelated rails that anyone can ride.
Economics
Monero fork economics: ~100M base emission followed by a perpetual 0.2 ZED tail reward, so no hard cap and miners stay online. Treasury shares block rewards to fund community quests and tooling bounties.
- Block time: 90 seconds
- Reward schedule: smooth emission into 0.2 ZED tail
- Fees: dynamic weight-based with block size penalty
Tech stack
Consensus leans on RandomX for CPU-first fairness. P2P layer uses lightweight gossip with mempool hints for low-latency propagation.
- zk hooks for shielded sends
- Bridge-ready UTXO receipts
- Node dashboard with pixel HUD
