Our Vision

EtherPrime exists to preserve the original spirit of blockchain: open participation, energy-secured consensus, and decentralized infrastructure.

While many networks have moved away from Proof-of-Work, EtherPrime believes PoW remains one of the most robust and decentralized mechanisms for securing a global financial network.

EtherPrime combines the security of mining with the flexibility of Ethereum’s smart contract ecosystem.

Name & Concept

EtherPrime represents the combination of Ethereum’s smart contract ecosystem with the core principles of Proof-of-Work mining.

Ether represents the EVM ecosystem and smart contracts.

Prime represents the foundational layer — the core mining infrastructure powered by Ethash.

EtherPrime = Ether (EVM) + Prime (Core Ethash)

Proof of Work + Ethereum VM

PoW Security

Mining secures the network through real-world energy, creating strong economic guarantees.

Open Participation

Anyone with hardware can mine and participate in securing the EtherPrime network.

EVM Compatibility

Developers can deploy smart contracts using existing Ethereum tools and frameworks.

Decentralized Infrastructure

No validator gatekeeping. No staking barriers. Only work secures the network.

Core Features

Ethash Mining

GPU-friendly Proof-of-Work mining algorithm.

Decentralized

No central authority controlling the network.

No Premine

Fair launch with open mining from genesis.

Smart Emission

5% block reward reduction every 200k blocks.

No Uncle Rewards

Simplified emission without uncle blocks.

~12.5s Block Time

Fast block production enabling quicker confirmations.

EVM Compatible

Full compatibility with Ethereum tooling.

Low Tx Fees

Efficient network design keeps transaction costs minimal.

Tokenomics

Block time: 12.5 seconds
Initial miner reward: 7 EPX
Development reward: 1 EPX per block until block 2,000,000

Emission Model

Block rewards decrease by 5% every 200,000 blocks. This creates a predictable long-term emission curve that gradually approaches the final supply.

Supply Projection

Maximum miner supply ≈ 28,000,000 EPX
Development emission = 2,000,000 EPX

Total Supply

Projected maximum supply ≈ 30,000,000 EPX
