ThoCoinThoCoin — a quantum-resistant digital currency
ThoCoin is an open, decentralized cryptocurrency built for a world where quantum computers exist. It pairs the battle-tested UTXO + Proof-of-Work design of Bitcoin with NIST-standardized post-quantum signatures, so coins stay safe even as cryptography evolves.
Why ThoCoin
Transactions are signed with ML-DSA-44 (FIPS-204 / CRYSTALS-Dilithium), a lattice-based scheme designed to stay secure against quantum computers.
Blocks are mined with SHA-256d. Anyone with hardware can help secure the chain — no staking, no gatekeepers.
Like Bitcoin, balances are the sum of unspent transaction outputs, giving simple, auditable and parallel-verifiable accounting.
Difficulty adjusts every block with a Linearly Weighted Moving Average, keeping block times stable and resisting hash-rate swings.
A capped maximum supply with periodic block-reward halvings makes ThoCoin a predictable, disinflationary asset.
Every block, transaction and address is public and verifiable through this explorer and the open REST/WebSocket API.
At a glance
How it works
Miners compete to find a SHA-256d hash below the current target. The winner appends a block of transactions to the chain and earns the block reward plus fees. Difficulty is recalculated every block using an LWMA algorithm, which keeps the average block time on target whether the network has one miner or thousands.
Every coin lives as an unspent transaction output (UTXO). When you spend, your wallet consumes existing outputs and creates new ones, each authorized by an ML-DSA-44 signature. Because that signature scheme is resistant to attacks from large-scale quantum computers, funds remain protected long into the future.
The total supply is capped and the block reward halves at fixed intervals, making ThoCoin predictable and disinflationary. This explorer indexes the chain in real time so anyone can verify supply, inspect transactions and audit balances without trusting a third party.
