RGMChain (RGM) — a Dogecoin fork with native post-quantum (ML-DSA-44) addresses
Scrypt PoW · 60-second blocks · no premine · fair launch
What is RGM?RGMChain (RGM) is an open-source fork of Dogecoin Core 1.14.x (Bitcoin Core lineage) that adds a native post-quantum address type based on ML-DSA-44 (CRYSTALS-Dilithium, NIST FIPS 204), alongside the usual legacy and SegWit addresses. The idea is simple and deliberately modest: keep a proven codebase, add one meaningful capability — addresses that resist future quantum attacks — for users who want to keep savings safe long-term.
Honest framing- It's a Dogecoin fork, not a from-scratch chain.
- No premine, no ICO, no team/dev allocation.
- Block 1 is mined at public launch, in the open.
- Post-quantum addresses are opt-in and activate at block 50,000.
We'd rather set realistic expectations than overpromise.
Specifications- Base: Dogecoin Core 1.14.x
- PoW: Scrypt (merge-mineable with LTC/DOGE via AuxPoW from block 500,000)
- Block time: 60 seconds
- Block reward: 50 RGM; halving every 2,102,400 blocks (~4 years)
- Difficulty: LWMA (window 45) + DigiShield from block 1
- Coinbase maturity: 30
- Post-quantum: ML-DSA-44 via liboqs 0.15.0 (signature 2,420 bytes vs 72 for ECDSA)
- Address types: Legacy (R...), SegWit (rgm1q...), post-quantum (rgm1z...)
- Activation heights: pool mining 25,000 · SegWit+PQ 50,000 · AuxPoW 500,000
- Premine: none
LaunchMainnet mining started 27 July 2026, 20:00 MSK (17:00 UTC). The network is live.
A note on the genesis blockRGM's genesis was created during development, so its timestamp predates the public launch. This is cosmetic — there is no premine and no mining before launch. It is verifiable on-chain: no blocks exist between the genesis block and block 1, and block 1 is mined at launch.
