ForgeCoin (FRG) is a proposed independent, privacy-focused, CPU-mineable cryptocurrency derived from the Monero v0.18.5.1 codebase. It is not Monero mainnet, does not issue XMR, and does not share Monero's balances, consensus history or network identity.
Project status — October 25, 2026: An older ForgeCoin development chain and explorer exist; a separate fresh-mainnet candidate is undergoing isolated testing and has not launched. The current source and provisional release parameters must not be described as a deployed, audited production mainnet.
| Area | What is documented |
|---|---|
| Mainnet specifications | Native blockchain, privacy model, addresses, ports, proof of work, block timing, difficulty, maturity and network isolation |
| FRG tokenomics | Miner issuance, 50M emission reference, 0.20 FRG tail, block rewards, fees and fair-launch restrictions |
| Governance protocol | Independent full-node authority, proposed ten-seat chamber, qualified miner bonds, elections and change controls |
| Planned software and use cases | Private P2P payments, desktop wallet, CPU Solo/Pool mining, independent nodes, explorer and official pool |
| Project roadmap | Committed native-network workstreams and required validation gates, not speculative features |
| Verified project status | What exists, what has only been tested, what is running on the old chain, and what is blocked |
| Launch and safety gates | Required consensus, wallet, mining, distribution and infrastructure evidence |
Build a self-custodial, peer-to-peer digital cash network in which users can send and receive private transactions, run their own validating nodes, and participate in RandomX proof-of-work mining on general-purpose CPUs.
The launch scope is one native FRG chain and one native asset, with 100% of block subsidies directed to miners and no founder, team or ICO premine. The official pool, its 1% operator fee and its dashboards are an intended optional service, not an extra monetary issuance mechanism.
No unapproved token allocation, treasury premine, bridge, wrapped Solana token, automatic old-chain balance migration, token sale, exchange listing, yield, profit, or binding governance election is part of the announced V1 deliverable. A speculative research topic is not a commitment to implement it. New scope requires a separate explicit project decision and revised specification.
