[ANN] LiteDAG — World's First MiniDAG | CPU-Mineable | Fair Launch

  LiteDAG is the world's first MiniDAG — a novel system that simulates a Directed Acyclic Graph (DAG) on a linear blockchain. It is secured by multi-chain Proof-of-Work via Merge-Mining.

  The protocol implements a Hybrid PoW/PoS consensus where PoW miners propose blocks and PoS stakers validate the chain's history. LiteDAG is written entirely in Go with approximately 17,000 lines of audited code and no forked runtime dependencies.

  LiteDAG had a fair launch with no ICO, no VC allocation, and no insider tokens. The only way to obtain LDG is through mining or staking.

  ◆ Key Features

MiniDAG Consensus — World's first DAG simulated on a linear blockchain. Side blocks are included and rewarded, not discarded. Each block stores references to the last N block hashes. Chain order is established as soon as a block is found.
RandomLiteDAG PoW — CPU-optimized proof-of-work algorithm derived from Tevador's RandomX. Modified with reduced scratchpad (1MB vs 2MB), program count (4 vs , and Argon iterations (1 vs 3). Optimized for low-end CPUs with reduced processor cache.
Hybrid DPoS — PoW miners propose blocks, PoS stakers validate chain history. The hash from block N is used as a random seed to select a staking pool. The delegate must include their signature by block N+3. Missing signatures result in burned rewards.
Merge-Mining — Mine LiteDAG and compatible fork chains simultaneously. Same hashrate, multiple rewards, zero extra hardware cost. Based on LiteDAG's Work Commitments structure.
Fair Launch — No ICO, no VC allocation, no insider tokens, no premine. 10% treasury fee on block rewards only.
100% Original Codebase — Written in Go, ~17,000 lines of audited code, zero forked runtime dependencies.

◆ Emission Schedule

Unlike Bitcoin's discrete halvings, LiteDAG's block reward decreases smoothly by 10% every season (91 days), with a 6-month stability period before reductions commence.

Period	Block Reward	Daily Emission
Months 0–6	20 LDG	~115,200 LDG
Months 6–9	18 LDG	~103,680 LDG
Months 9–12	16.2 LDG	~93,312 LDG
Year 2	~13–10 LDG	~75,000–58,000 LDG
Year 3+	~5–8 LDG	~29,000–46,000 LDG
Tail (perpetual)	1 LDG	5,760 LDG

  If no staker signs a block, the 40% staker share is burned.

  ◆ Mining

  LiteDAG uses RandomLiteDAG, a CPU-optimized proof-of-work algorithm. Anyone with a computer can participate.

  Option 1: XMRig (Recommended)
  Uses all CPU threads, significantly faster than the built-in miner.

Code:

  ./xmrig -o node.litedag.com:6312 -u <your-wallet-address> -a rx/litedag

Option 2: Built-in CPU Miner

Code:

  git clone https://github.com/litedag-chain/litedag-blockchain.git
  cd litedag-blockchain
  go build -o litedag-node ./cmd/litedag-node
  ./litedag-node --mine <your-wallet-address> --data-dir ./data

  Option 3: Local Node + XMRig
  For better decentralization, run your own node:

Code:

  ./litedag-node --data-dir ./data --public-rpc --stratum-bind-ip 0.0.0.0
  ./xmrig -o 127.0.0.1:6312 -u <your-wallet-address> -a rx/litedag

Create a Wallet:

Code:

  go build -o litedag-wallet-cli ./cmd/litedag-wallet-cli
  ./litedag-wallet-cli
  > create

Addresses start with "v".

◆ Staking

Stakers earn 40% of block rewards (8 LDG per block at current rate).

Minimum stake: 10,000 LDG
Delegate registration: 1,000 LDG (burned)
Lock period: 2 months
Rewards auto-compound into your delegate's staked balance
If no staker signs, the 40% share is burned
