[ANN][EDX] EdgeX Network — Edge-Native Proof-of-Work, Mined on Your Own CPU

Website: https://www.edgexnetwork.org/
Explorer: https://export.edgexnetwork.org/

=====================================================================

EdgeX Network is an edge-native proof-of-work blockchain that puts
hashing power back where it belongs — your own hardware.

Mainstream PoW drifted far from the "one CPU, one vote" ideal:
ASICs captured nearly all global hashrate, full-node clients grew
heavier, and mining turned into a game played by industrial
datacenters. EdgeX flips the equation by pairing the ASIC-resistant
RandomX algorithm with the Bun/TypeScript async runtime.

With EdgeX, every idle core counts. Home desktops, NAS boxes,
Raspberry Pis, and other small edge devices can mine and run a full
node — and every node doubles as an edge service provider (DePIN).

=====================================================================

■ KEY FEATURES

• RandomX consensus — CPU-optimized, hard memory-dependency rules
  out ASICs and large GPU rigs.
• Bun Native FFI — the C++ RandomX kernel is bound to a lightweight
  TypeScript node with near-zero overhead. Full node boots in
  milliseconds.
• Micro-node engine — embedded SQLite storage, no external database,
  one command to start mining and validating.
• P2P gossip network over TCP + WebSocket, with NAT traversal.
• Built-in JSON-RPC and Stratum mining protocol support.
• EdgeX Wallet TUI — terminal wallet with BIP39 mnemonic, encrypted
  vault, QR codes, i18n, and daemon mode.
• DePIN-ready — nodes can expose decentralized RPC and caching
  services to the public.

■ TOKENOMICS

• Ticker: EDX (smallest unit: Photon, 1 EDX = 10^8 Photons)
• Hard cap: 2,100,000,000 EDX
• 100% fair launch — zero premine, every coin comes from CPU work.
• Block time: 15 seconds; LWMA difficulty retarget (240-block window)
• Three-phase emission:
  - Bootstrap (days 1–90): 400 EDX/block
  - Smooth decay (day 91 – year 10): continuous decay formula,
    no halving cliffs
  - Tail emission (after year 10): 1.5 EDX/block + protocol-level
    fee burning

■ HOW TO GET STARTED

Mining & running a full node is one command away.

Windows (PowerShell):
    irm https://install.edgexnetwork.org | iex

macOS / Linux:
    curl -fsSL https://install.edgexnetwork.org | bash

Launch the node/wallet:
    dexcoin

I notice your GitHub repository is still being updated. Do you have any plans to build a community?

Yes, we will. We’ll start building the community and other related work once we finish the core development.  Wink

Starting at 21:48 UTC on September 1, 2026, EdgeX mainnet block production was maliciously disrupted. Difficulty was pushed abnormally high, preventing the network from advancing valid blocks for about 8.5 hours — the chain stalled at height 18,996 with repeated reorgs at the same height.

Block production resumed with block #18,997 at 06:14 UTC on September 2, 2026. The network is now producing and confirming blocks normally.

This attack targeted the consensus layer only; user keys and on-chain funds were never affected. No assets were lost. Emergency protection is active, and a permanent protocol-level fix will ship in the next release — please upgrade your nodes and pools when it's out.

When exchange?

Still early days. We're completing core features and multi-language SDKs first — exchange listings come only after that. As a brand-new chain, everything takes a little longer. We'll announce as soon as there's concrete news.

EdgeX Network — Edge-Native PoW: Wallet v2.0.0 released (P2P sync, HD wallets, full RPC) Grin
EdgeX Network is an edge-native Proof-of-Work chain pairing the ASIC-resistant RandomX algorithm with the Bun / TypeScript runtime. Every node runs as a lightweight, scripted app while doubling as a DePIN edge service provider for decentralized RPC and data caching.

We just tagged Wallet v2.0.0, a milestone release for the mainnet push:
  • Chain database v3 — local storage moved to a plaintext on-disk SQLite engine with WAL auto-persistence and automatic segment archiving, so the node handles unbounded chain growth. Legacy encrypted databases are auto-detected and rebuilt on startup.
  • Full node sync over P2P — the peer protocol now supports block download and chain reorganization (longest-chain switching), covered by new sync and reorg tests.
  • Multi-address HD wallet — address-index derivation with address-aware transaction planning and UTXO ownership tracking.
  • Complete RPC surface — scan semantics aligned with the offline-sign flow, plus RPC paging; an offline-sign demo is included under demo/offline-sign.
  • Console CLI + TUI settings tab and an auto version-check / update notice.
  • Local game gateway with on-chain fee uploads (ECIES-encrypted comms) as an early taste of the DePIN layer.

Next steps: developer documentation, and an advanced smart-contract parser written in TypeScript. Wink

The Old Wallet was much Better

New Wallet has a Virus in it and it not adding any blocks

This is exactly what v2.0.1 fixed (8eb153c): the local chain was misjudged as corrupt on a page-boundary drift. Update to v2.0.1 — it auto-reconnects dropped P2P peers with backoff and re-anchors on transient sync errors instead of erroring out. The "virus" is a false positive on our self-signed installer; all source is public. If still stuck after updating, run resync.

Where this stands, briefly: the team disagreed on technical direction and everyone else has
moved on. EdgeX is now just me — accounts, repos and infrastructure under my personal name —
so I'm calling it what it is: a technical exploration rather than a company with a roadmap.
The question I'm working on is how far Bun can be pushed in a blockchain.

What doesn't change: the code stays public, fair launch and zero premine stand, and the target
is still PoW that runs on hardware people already own.

The game API is open — leaderboard, score uploads and save syncing through the node, no central
server holding player data, uploads anchored on-chain. Finishing that integration is my next
step, and after that I keep building PoW features on Bun toward Atwood's Law: "Any application
that can be written in JavaScript will eventually be written in JavaScript."

No timelines or price talk from me. If you write JS/TS or mine RandomX, replies are welcome.
