Hanticoin

Project Overview

Hanticoin Core is the reference implementation of the Hanticoin protocol—a minimal, account-based blockchain designed for secure and deterministic value transfer. It does not support smart contracts and focuses exclusively on payment infrastructure for Somalia.

Digital payments are already dominant in Somalia, but most systems are centralized and opaque. Hanticoin replaces institutional trust with cryptographic certainty: transparent total supply (21B HTC fixed), verifiable settlement, and validator-based Proof-of-Stake consensus.

Our Process

Step 01

Protocol design

Defined a standalone Layer-1 with account-based state, round-robin validator selection, 4s block time, and a hard monetary invariant—no minting beyond genesis.

Step 02

Core implementation

Built modular packages for core (chain, blocks, genesis), consensus, state (LevelDB), mempool, P2P transport, and crypto (ECDSA P-256, SHA256, Merkle). Slashing for equivocation.

Step 03

Testnet & documentation

Bootstrap script and load generator for testnet; SPEC, ARCHITECTURE, WHITEPAPER, MAINNET and SECURITY docs. Roadmap: testnet → security audit → mainnet → validator decentralization.

Result

An open-source blockchain core that gives Somalia a purpose-built settlement layer—transparent supply, low fees, and predictable performance for payments only.
