Technical specification and economic model
TXZ is a proof-of-work cryptocurrency designed for predictable economics and sustainable mining incentives. Built on proven Litecoin codebase with MWEB privacy features.
TXZ uses a fixed block reward model with no scheduled halvings. Each block reward is enforced at the protocol level:
After reaching the 50,000,000 TXZ maximum supply (approximately at block 2,250,000), the network transitions to a perpetual 2% annual tail emission:
Traditional Bitcoin-style halvings create:
TXZ's fixed reward provides:
Algorithm: Scrypt (same as Litecoin)
Difficulty Adjustment: Every block using DarkGravity Wave v3
Target Block Time: 150 seconds (~2.5 minutes)
Phase 1 (Blocks 1-2,250,000):
Phase 2 (After block 2,250,000):
The tail emission ensures miners have perpetual incentive to secure the network even after max supply is reached. This prevents the "fee-only" security model that creates uncertainty in other cryptocurrencies.
TXZ supports MWEB for optional privacy:
MWEB transactions occur in extension blocks, maintaining compatibility with the main chain while providing enhanced privacy for those who need it.
TXZ follows a conservative upgrade path:
Fixed block rewards provide price stability for merchants and users.
Capped supply with tail emission balances scarcity with security.
Predictable rewards enable better ROI calculations for miners.
MWEB enables confidential transactions when needed.
