About RCPU

RCPU is a sovereign blockchain — and the first project to bring privacy to the Bitcoin protocol. It was not built to raise money; it exists to return money to the people who actually mine it.

Fair issuance

No premine, no ICO, no staking. A 2.1B cap, 5,000 RCPU per block, halving every two years, then one RCPU per block forever.

Pure proof-of-work

RandomX for CPUs and Etchash for GPUs run side by side from block 21,000. ASERT difficulty keeps blocks at five minutes.

Open to everyone

Node, wallet and miner are open source. Windows, Linux and macOS can all take part — no permission, no gatekeepers.

Technical foundation

Not an experiment: the mature Bitcoin Core 27.0 base, CPU and GPU proof of work, ASERT difficulty and CT confidential transactions.

Bitcoin Core 27.0

The battle-tested Bitcoin codebase: full node, wallet, RPC and consensus logic inherited intact.

RandomX

CPU-oriented proof of work, ASIC-resistant. An ordinary computer can take part.

Etchash

GPU-oriented proof of work, running alongside RandomX from block 21,000.

ASERT

Responsive difficulty adjustment that keeps five-minute blocks stable through hashrate swings.

CT confidential transactions

Optional confidential transactions: amounts can be shielded while remaining verifiable on-chain.

Get started with RCPU

Three steps into the network: pick a wallet, get RCPU, then verify and use it. Every step is yours to complete — no permission required.

  1. Choose a wallet

    A full-node wallet for Windows. Your keys stay with you.

    Get a wallet
  2. Get RCPU

    Mine with your CPU. No premine, no insider allocation.

    Start mining
  3. Verify and use

    Check every transaction in the explorer, and send, receive or self-custody at any time.

    Open explorer

Mine with your CPU

RandomX is built for general-purpose processors. No ASIC farm, no expensive rig — just the computer you already own.
