A decentralized, CPU-mined cryptocurrency built on SHA-512 proof-of-work. No banks. No intermediaries. No trust required.
Basecoin restores individual participation in block production with stronger cryptography and automatic privacy.
A hash space of 2512 — exponentially more secure than Bitcoin's SHA-256. Built for long-term cryptographic resilience including post-quantum safety margins.
No ASICs required. SHA-512 is natively optimized for 64-bit CPUs — any modern computer can participate in block production and earn rewards.
Every block mined automatically generates a fresh address. No two rewards ever go to the same address — privacy by design, not by configuration.
21,000,000 BSC. Hard cap. No pre-mine, no developer allocation, no inflation. Every coin earned through computational proof-of-work.
No company, no foundation, no central authority. The network is governed entirely by consensus of its nodes. Permissionless and open to all.
JSON-RPC server enabled by default. basecoin-cli connects out of the box alongside the GUI wallet. Developer-friendly from day one.
Download Basecoin Core, open the wallet, and your CPU starts contributing to the network immediately. No configuration required.
