Talnet is a next-generation Proof of Work (PoW) cryptocurrency with post-quantum security. It uses the custom PoWTaL algorithm (SHA3 + RAM-WALK + BLAKE3) designed to be ASIC-resistant and GPU-friendly.

• Post-Quantum Security - SPHINCS+ signatures protect against future quantum computers
• ASIC-Resistant - PoWTaL algorithm favors GPUs over specialized hardware
• Memory-Hard - Requires 2-4 GB VRAM for mining
• 5-Minute Blocks - Faster confirmation than Bitcoin's 10 minutes
• Fair Launch - No pre-mine, no ICO

The maximum supply is 10,512,000 TAL. This is a fixed, hard-coded limit that cannot be changed.

The smallest unit is called a Tallion. 1 TAL = 1,000,000,000 Tallions (1 billion).

Minimum Requirements:

• GPU with 2+ GB VRAM (NVIDIA or AMD)
• 4 GB RAM
• OpenCL support

Recommended:

• GPU with 4+ GB VRAM
• 8 GB RAM
• NVIDIA GTX 1060 or better / AMD RX 580 or better

The initial block reward is 10 TAL per block. This halves every 525,600 blocks (approximately every 5 years).

The target block time is 5 minutes (300 seconds). The difficulty adjusts every 2,016 blocks to maintain this target.

Mining rewards (coinbase transactions) require 200 confirmations before they can be spent. At 5 minutes per block, this is approximately 16-17 hours.

PoWTaL (Proof of Work Talnet) is a custom mining algorithm with three phases:

1. SHA3-256 - Initial hash computation
2. RAM-WALK - Memory-hard phase using 2-4 GB buffer
3. BLAKE3 - Fast finalization

This design makes it resistant to ASICs while remaining efficient on GPUs.

You can download the official Talnet wallet from the Download section on our homepage. Available for Windows and Linux.

Your wallet files are stored in the Talnet data directory. To backup:

1. Close the Talnet application
2. Copy the wallets folder to a safe location
3. Store backup on external drive or encrypted cloud storage

⚠️ Never share your wallet files or private keys with anyone!

For regular transactions: 6 confirmations (~30 minutes)

For mining rewards: 200 confirmations (~16-17 hours)

Talnet uses SPHINCS+-SHAKE-256f signatures, which are resistant to attacks from quantum computers. This protects your funds even when quantum computers become powerful enough to break traditional cryptography like ECDSA.

Yes! Talnet is 100% open source under the MIT License. You can view, audit, and contribute to the source code on GitHub.

ChainGuard AI is an AI-powered validation system that helps detect and reject suspicious blocks. It becomes active after block 200, giving the AI time to learn from valid blocks before making rejection decisions.

Simply download and run the Talnet application. It automatically connects to the network and starts syncing the blockchain. For Linux servers, you can run in headless mode using the provided scripts.
