Mainnet live · RandomX PoW

A quantum-secured RandomX blockchain

Byze extends the Bitcoin-derived model with CPU-friendly RandomX mining and post-quantum transaction signatures (XMSS / SPHINCS+). Use the ecosystem tools below — the chain is open source and designed for verifiable, non-custodial participation.

Ecosystem status

Live figures are read from the public explorer API (no login, no extra infrastructure on this page). Deep block search and transactions stay on the dedicated explorer.

Wallets

Hold keys yourself

The browser wallet runs entirely in your session: convenient for day-to-day use, with no custodial accounts on byze.org. For full-node sovereignty, run the Qt wallet or daemon alongside your own byzed instance.

Browser wallet (v0.2.1)

Non-custodial web client — create or restore a 24-word phrase locally, sign with liboqs WASM (XMSS + SPHINCS+, same crypto as Core). The server only relays signed transactions; keys never leave your browser.

Launch wallet.byze.org

Qt desktop wallet

Full graphical wallet (v0.2.0 mainnet) for power users and cold-signing workflows.

Mining

Solo RandomX mining

The public mining pool is temporarily unavailable while treasury and payout infrastructure are prepared. Solo mining with a full node and the standalone byze-miner is still supported.

  • Run a full node Sync byzed from the downloads section and let it catch up to the network tip.
  • Build byze-miner Clone github.com/powhermes/byze-miner and follow the repository README (CMake / bootstrap scripts).
  • Mine to your wallet Use your Byze payout address as --wallet. Tune --threads to your CPU. Do not use pool.byze.org:3333 until the pool reopens.
Example · solo byze-miner (local node)
~/byze-miner/build/byze-miner \
  --rpcconnect 127.0.0.1:8882 \
  --wallet YOUR_WALLET \
  --worker rig01 \
  --threads 8

Trust model

Non-custodial by design

byze.org does not hold deposits or operate a centralized exchange. Wallets you use generate or import keys locally; the node software validates consensus rules the same way other Bitcoin-family clients do, with additional post-quantum signature validation.

  • Keys stay with you The browser wallet and Qt client are interfaces — backup phrases and wallet files are your responsibility.
  • Post-quantum signatures XMSS / SPHINCS+ paths are part of the protocol design; audit the implementation in the open-source tree.
  • Verify on your own node Run byzed, sync the chain, and cross-check balances and transactions against any third-party explorer.

Open source

Build and audit in public

Core consensus, wallet RPCs, and quantum signature integration are developed on GitHub. Issues, pull requests, and tagged releases are the source of truth for reproducible builds.

Direction

Roadmap

High-level phases — dates shift with security review and community feedback.

Live

Mainnet & core tooling

v0.2.0 mainnet, explorer, v0.2.1 non-custodial browser wallet, Linux / Windows / macOS Core builds, and RandomX miner reference implementation.

Next

Distribution & UX polish

Guix reproducible builds, expanded documentation, hardware-wallet workflows, and continued ecosystem hardening.

Future

Growth & integrations

Exchange and service integrations as liquidity appears, hardware-wallet workflows, and continued hardening of post-quantum paths under real-world load.
