RougeChain is a production-ready L1 blockchain built from genesis with NIST-approved post-quantum cryptography (ML-DSA-65, ML-KEM-768). Every signature, transaction, and encrypted message is quantum-safe — not as a future patch, but as the foundation.
Live Testnet: rougechain.io | API: https://testnet.rougechain.io/api | SDK: npm i @rougechain/sdk
- Post-Quantum Cryptography: ML-DSA-65 (FIPS 204) signatures, ML-KEM-768 (FIPS 203) key exchange
- L1 Node Daemon: Rust core with HTTP + gRPC APIs
- Client-Side Signing: Private keys never leave your browser
- EIP-1559 Dynamic Fees: Base fee auto-adjusts ±12.5% per block, base fee burned
- BFT Finality: Quorum certificates with ≥2/3 validator stake
- HD Wallet Derivation: BIP-44-like PQC key derivation from mnemonic
- P2P Networking: Multi-node peering with automatic peer discovery
- Token Burning: On-chain burn address with transparent tracking
- wasmi Runtime: Pure-Rust WASM interpreter (Parity/Substrate-grade)
- Fuel-Metered Execution: 10M default fuel limit per call
- 12 Host Functions: Balance, transfer, storage R/W, events, SHA-256, block info
- Persistent Contract Storage: sled-backed key-value state per contract
- Deterministic Addresses: SHA-256(deployer ‖ nonce) for contract addresses
- Deploy + Call + Query: Full contract lifecycle via API
- 22 MCP Tools: AI agents interact with RougeChain natively
- First MCP-Native Blockchain: No other L1 has built-in MCP integration
- Chain Queries: Stats, blocks, balances, tokens, NFTs, pools, validators
- Contract Operations: Deploy, call, read state, get events
- Claude Desktop Ready: Drop-in
claude_desktop_config.jsonsupport
- Liquidity Pools: Uniswap V2-style constant product AMM
- Token Swaps: Multi-hop routing with 0.3% fee
- LP Tokens: Earn fees by providing liquidity
- Custom Tokens: Create and deploy tokens with mint authority
- Proof of Stake: Validator selection weighted by stake
- Validator Names: Human-readable node identifiers
- Slashing: Penalties for misbehavior
- Unbonding Queue: 500-block cooldown for unstaking
- ZK-STARK Proofs: Winterfell-based shielded transfers
- Commitment Scheme: Pedersen-style commitments for note privacy
- Nullifier Tracking: Double-spend prevention
- Rollup Accumulator: Batch shielded operations for efficiency
- RC-721 Collections: Create collections with royalties and metadata
- Batch Minting: Mint multiple tokens in a single transaction
- Transfer & Burn: Full lifecycle management
- Collection Freeze: Prevent further minting
- E2E Encrypted Messenger: Real-time chat with ML-KEM-768 encryption
- Encrypted Mail: On-chain mail system with PQC encryption, multi-recipient CEK pattern
- Signed API Requests: All mail/messenger/name operations require ML-DSA-65 signed requests with anti-replay nonces
- TOFU Key Verification: SHA-256 fingerprints with key-change warnings
- Push Notifications: Web push for new messages
- Atomic Name Registry: compare-and-swap name registration via sled
- qETH Bridge: Bridge ETH from Base Sepolia to qETH on RougeChain
- XRGE Bridge: Two-way XRGE bridging to Base
- Relayer: Automated bridge withdrawal fulfillment
- Proposals: On-chain governance proposals per token
- Voting: Token-weighted voting
- RougeChain Wallet: Manifest V3 extension for Chrome, Edge, Brave, Firefox, Arc, Opera
- dApp Provider:
window.rougechainAPI for web integrations
