Post-quantum money.
xCoin (XID) is a post-quantum layer 1 currency with a 100,000,000 XID hard cap, ML-DSA signatures, and MetalDAG memory-hard proof-of-work. Wallets, miners, explorers, and encrypted communications: the full stack, built in-house.

[02] THE PROBLEM
Sending money is expensive. Securing it is about to get harder.
Four pressures, one opening: the corridor tax, the quantum clock, warehouse mining, and a last mile that card terminals never reached.
REMITTANCES01
The corridor tax
Mexico received $61.8B in 2025 (Banxico). The average transfer is $405, and a typical 3.5% fee costs the sender ~$14. xCoin's default relay-policy fee floor is 1 sat per virtual byte, about 1,480 sat for a typical payment, whatever the amount. That difference is the entire business: arithmetic, not a projection.
QUANTUM02
The signature time bomb
Nearly every existing blockchain rests on elliptic-curve signatures that quantum computers are expected to break. Retrofitting post-quantum cryptography onto a network already holding value is a hard fork most incumbents will struggle to execute.
MINING03
Warehouse capture
ASIC farms and industrial pools have pushed ordinary people out of proof-of-work. The security budget of most chains is now controlled by a handful of operators.
ACCEPTANCE04
The last mile
In cash economies, card terminals never arrived. Digital dollars still can't be spent where the money actually goes.

[03] THE ANSWER
xCoin: post-quantum at genesis, mining for people.
- Post-quantum from block zero. Every spend is signed with ML-DSA-65 (FIPS 204), with a hash-based SLH-DSA fallback, and node connections use a hybrid post-quantum handshake (ML-KEM-768, XIP-4) from launch. No migration debt, no legacy curve to defend: the problem incumbents face is designed out at genesis.
- MetalDAG proof-of-work. A memory-hard algorithm that leans on memory bandwidth, the one resource ordinary hardware already has plenty of. A Mac, a laptop, a browser tab: all can meaningfully take part.
- Fixed, predictable money. Exactly 100,000,000 XID hard cap, 8 decimals, emitted under the Annual Tenth: a warm-up, 50 XID per block to block 220,000, then 10% less every 110,000 blocks, never below 1.5 XID. No discretionary issuance.
- The full stack in-house. Node, wallet, native and browser miners, block explorer, and encrypted communications: one builder, one codebase discipline, no integration risk.

[04] TECHNOLOGY
MetalDAG: proof-of-work that resists capture.
Mining speed is bounded by memory bandwidth, the resource ordinary hardware already has. Every spend is post-quantum by rule, not by option.
MEMORY-HARD01
Bandwidth is the resource
Ethash-family design: memory-hard, so mining speed is bounded by memory bandwidth, not raw logic.
APPLE-SILICON-FAVORING02
Built for unified memory
Designed around the wide, fast memory of Apple Silicon. A Mac people already own is a genuinely good miner. The DAG is 4 GiB at launch and grows 128 MiB per 14-day epoch.
MAINNET03
Rehearsed, then launched
The node verifies MetalDAG with a light per-epoch cache; only mining needs the full DAG. Nodes, pool and miner were rehearsed on testnet A, now retired with its ledger archived at height 3,555. Mainnet genesis was mined 2026-09-26 00:00:00 UTC; mainnet is live.
POST-QUANTUM04
ML-DSA everywhere
PQ-only spend rules: only post-quantum outputs can be created, so there is no ECDSA or Schnorr path for any coin. The node accepts no private key over RPC; an offline wallet signs and the node broadcasts.

[05] MONETARY POLICY
Scarce. Fixed. Boring on purpose.
The schedule is consensus law. Anyone can read it in the code, and nobody can change it by decree.
- The Annual Tenth. A warm-up of 6.25, 12.5 and 25 XID per block for 20,000 blocks each, then 50 XID per block to block 220,000 (~Dec 2028). After that the reward falls 10% every 110,000 blocks (~382 days), never below a 1.5 XID floor (reached ~2063 to ~2325). The last coin is mined ~2363.
- No premine, no founder allocation. Genesis mints nothing; block 1 pays the first subsidy to whoever mines it. Every XID is mined, none are granted.
- No discretionary issuance. The schedule is consensus law, not policy. Mainnet live since 2026-09-26 00:00:00 UTC: explorer ↗ · emission ↗

[07] THE MOAT
A hardware acceptance layer nobody else has.
Cryptographic tap-to-pay on NXP NTAG 424 DNA. My proprietary provisioning binds each chip to a product record with a unique encrypted per-chip key. Every tap is a signed, counter-protected message, not a scannable code.
- Any phone becomes an acceptance point in cash economies where card terminals never arrived. No remittance competitor has a physical-world layer.
- Proven against real hardware. Provisioning and verification run against production NTAG 424 DNA chips today, with the cryptography validated end-to-end.
- Two regulatory tracks in Mexico. Launch through a licensed partner in months while DLT's own IFPE application runs in parallel. CNBV authorization averages 781 days, so it cannot sit on the critical path.

[08] WHAT HAS BEEN BUILT
Shipped, not planned.
Everything below is built and open to inspection. Claims resolve to code, not to a roadmap; mainnet has been live since 2026-09-26.
- xCoin node built with MetalDAG proof-of-work and post-quantum ML-DSA spends end-to-end. Mainnet genesis mined 2026-09-26 00:00:00 UTC; live at superknet.com.
- Native Mac miner (CLI + GUI) built for MetalDAG. It ran alongside the node and pool through the testnet A rehearsal, now retired (ledger archived at height 3,555); mining on mainnet is MMM on Apple Silicon Macs.
- Self-custodial wallet: full transaction CLI with encrypted key storage plus the xPay PWA.
- SuperKnet explorer built for blocks, transactions, and mining stats; currently offline.
- Browser mining + community pool at xcoinminer.com, the lowest-friction on-ramp in crypto.
- Xalon (formerly CernBank) self-custody banking for XID shipped: hardware-key sign-in, wallets locked to the key, ML-KEM-768 tunnel.
Stage: pre-revenue. Mainnet live since 2026-09-26 00:00:00 UTC; corridor volume and merchant acceptance are funded milestones, not current facts.

[10] THE ASK
$7.5M for 38%.
Let's build.
Mexico because it is the largest remittance corridor on earth and Ley Fintech is an actual path, unlike US state-by-state money transmission. Partner first for speed and evidence; own license for long-term margin.
