PHONCOIN Bible
A canonical technical bible for PHONCHAIN: network identity, consensus, security model, tokenomics, and public endpoints. Everything here is meant to be verifiable.
Phoncoin does for phones what Bitcoin did for CPUs in 2009 — turning everyday devices into participants.
1 · Identity
PHONCOIN (PHC)
- Native asset of PHONCHAIN
- Mobile-first monetary network
- Secured by real smartphones
- Fair distribution — no privileges
PHONCHAIN
- Public blockchain designed for mobile
- Consensus: Proof-of-Phone (PoP Secure v4.1)
- Crypto: Ed25519 + SHA-256
- Open endpoints: API / gateway / explorer
2 · Consensus Proof-of-Phone Secure v4.1
Core idea
- 1 real phone = 1 participant
- No heavy Proof-of-Work
- No Proof-of-Stake based on wealth
- Security comes from cryptography + hardware uniqueness + protocol checks
What a phone does
- Generates an Ed25519 keypair
- Sends signed heartbeats (activity proofs)
- Solves a light PoW puzzle (difficulty target)
- Attaches a hashed device fingerprint + device_info v4
What a node verifies
- Ed25519 signature validity
- Timestamp rules (anti-replay)
- Difficulty target (light PoW)
- Fingerprint binding & reuse detection
- Security profile (emulator/root flags, trust score, rate limits)
3 · Security PoP-Secure v4.1 anti-fraud
Anti-emulator
- Detects Android Emulator / Genymotion / suspicious environments
- Immediate rejection when confirmed
Anti-root & trust score
- Root detection signals
- Trust score (0–100) computed on-device
- Node policy rejects devices below the minimum threshold
Anti-cloning
- Hashed device fingerprint (privacy-preserving)
- Binding: 1 fingerprint → 1 address
- Reuse is flagged and can be restricted
Anti-replay & rate limiting
- Old/reused timestamps rejected
- Heartbeats too close rejected (anti-spam)
- Per-device and per-pubkey limits
Attestation ready
- Device schema v4 includes a field reserved for Play Integrity / attestation verdicts
- Protocol is designed to accept stronger attestations later without breaking compatibility
4 · Data model
Heartbeat (PoP-S4.1)
- pubkey (Ed25519)
- timestamp
- nonce (light PoW)
- signature
- hashed device_fingerprint
- device_info v4: OS, hardware, security flags, latency, trust score
Block
- index, timestamp
- prev_hash, hash
- validated heartbeats
- block reward
- participating miner addresses
5 · Canonical network parameters
- Target block time: 300 seconds (5 minutes)
- Consensus: Proof-of-Phone (PoP Secure v4.1)
- Algorithms: Ed25519, SHA-256
- Ticker: PHC
- Genesis block timestamp: 2025-10-09 08:53:20 UTCc098fa5e985edd56634af262975b771f0dadc607494d6875cb725f1006611658
6 · Tokenomics PHC
Total supply
- Hard cap: 21,000,000 PHC
Block reward & halving
- Initial reward: 25 PHC per block
- Halving: every 420,000 blocks
- Target block time: 5 minutes
Halving schedule (example)
| Phase | Block height | Reward |
|---|---|---|
| Phase 1 | 0 – 419,999 | 25 PHC |
| Phase 2 | 420,000 – 839,999 | 12.5 PHC |
| Phase 3 | 840,000 – 1,259,999 | 6.25 PHC |
Fair distribution
- No premine
- No ICO
- No reserved team allocation
- 100% minted through real participation
7 · Wallet PHONCOIN Android
Principles
- Non-custodial
- Keys stored on-device only
- No central server required
Security model (important)
- The wallet never stores IPs
- The wallet trusts only the canonical genesis_hash
- Any endpoint with a mismatching genesis is rejected
8 · Public network architecture
Domains
- phoncoin.org — official website, whitepaper, documentation
- phonchain.org — public nodes: API, gateway/seed, explorer, bootstrap
Official endpoints
- Bootstrap: https://bootstrap.phonchain.org/nodes.json
- API: https://api.phonchain.org
- Gateway/Seed: https://seed2.phonchain.org
- Explorer: https://explorer.phonchain.org/explorer
9 · Bootstrap file nodes.json
Purpose
- Provides an official list of public endpoints (HTTPS)
- Allows wallets to evolve without app updates (priority/order can change)
- Must include: network, mode, min_version, genesis_hash, nodes[] (url/role/region/priority)
- Wallets should only select endpoints whose genesis_hash matches the canonical chain
10 · Principles
- One phone = one voice
- Security comes from real participation
- Energy is precious → near-idle usage
- No hidden privileges
- Everything is cryptographically verifiable
