Planned ForgeCoin uses and software

V1 is an independent native FRG proof-of-work network. The following are project deliverables described in the owner-approved/native-first roadmap, not promises of current production availability.

Direct uses of native FRG

Private peer-to-peer payments. Send and receive native FRG using on-chain Monero-derived stealth addresses and confidential transaction amounts. Recipients can control their own keys; confirmations and fees follow network conditions. Privacy is not absolute, and transactions do not settle instantly just because a website is fast.

Self-custodial wallets. Generate or restore recovery phrases, view incoming/outgoing transfers, review fees and sign transfers on the user's own machine. Recovery secrets, passwords and wallet files must never be uploaded to a website or mining pool.

Permissionless CPU mining. Produce RandomX proof of work using a general-purpose CPU. Solo mining runs with a local full node; pooled mining is optional using an independently configured compatible pool. Mining a candidate, starting an executable, or submitting a mock share does not constitute accepted network rewards.

Independent node operation. Download and verify native blocks and transactions, synchronize with peers and validate chain state locally without trusting the public explorer. Operators voluntarily adopt consensus-upgrading software.

Blockchain inspection. A public or self-hosted explorer can display blocks, heights, hashes, transaction identifiers, timestamps, fees and difficulty, while leaving ordinary private amounts and participants confidential.

Committed project software workstreams

Component Intended V1 / subsequent native-network scope Current caveat
Native daemon (forged) Chain validation, P2P sync, RPC and Solo mining Old network runs; fresh candidate unreleased
Native wallet / wallet RPC Keys, receiving, transfers, history, recovery Source exists; release security and candidate compatibility remain under test
Windows Tauri desktop Self-custodial wallet, local node, Solo and third-party Pool mining, telemetry, restart/stop behavior UI implemented; reliable end-to-end evidence for initial V1 blocked
Native XMRig-compatible client Trusted Windows CPU miner integration Unverified downloaded archive must not be launched or shipped; issue #95
Public network explorer Chain metadata, transaction/block lookup, confirmations and reorg-aware views Existing hosted explorer serves old chain
Official optional FRG pool Stratum/RandomX work validation, share accounting, 1% eligible-reward operator fee, maturity-aware native payouts Planned separate service; research listener has synthetic, uncredited jobs only
Pool website/dashboard Worker health and shares, blocks, fees, payment history, honest live status Hosted /pool/ page is informational, not a mining backend
Standalone Pool Observer Public read-only network/pool statistics and tested Solo-versus-Pool probability/effort estimates Planned; no validated live estimator or 100-worker capacity
Native governance and FRG miner bonds Representative proposal/election processes with real proof-of-work qualification and enforceable native bond Proposed model; not ratified or active

The official pool will not be forced upon users. A 1% optional pool service fee must not be confused with the native network's transfer fees.

Out of V1 scope

Do not advertise a live token bridge, Solana or Token-2022 token, exchange listing, wrapped FRG, ICO, staking APY, guaranteed returns, hidden pool miner payouts or automatic old-chain balance conversion as part of the plan. Those ideas are not approved implementation commitments for the native-network work described here.
