Independent blockchain infrastructure
UNFTCHAIN is an independent blockchain network built from the Bitcoin Core architecture and adapted for timestamping, digital certification and utility-oriented NFTs.
MAINNET · LIVE SINCE AUGUST 1, 2026
WHAT IS UNFTCHAIN?
UNFTCHAIN is an independent blockchain network designed to provide a verifiable public layer for timestamping, certification and digital utility.
The network originated from the Bitcoin Core architecture, chosen for its simplicity, maturity and transparent UTXO model. From that foundation, it has been progressively adapted for verifiable digital assets and proofs.
BEFORE THE GENESIS BLOCK
Like a phoenix reborn from ashes,
UNFT rises from forgotten fairness.
CHAINPARAMS A source-code comment written before genesis.
This is our manifesto: the conviction that drove us to create UNFTChain. Before the first block, these words expressed the ambition behind the network — to place fairness back at the centre of participation.
Our Fair Launch intention is zero coins allocated to founders. The initial distribution was established by pre-launch consensus to encourage different on-chain participation roles. Proof of Fairness turns that ambition into a protocol direction: verified human uniqueness, shared mining opportunities and participation that does not depend on an endless race for more powerful hardware.
FAIR LAUNCH / INFRASTRUCTURE IN PRACTICE
The Storage nodes currently in operation are held and operated by the founders. In keeping with the Fair Launch principle, these nodes are excluded from the distribution of coins under the block reward economics. Providing this infrastructure does not give them a share of the Storage reward allocation.

The source code is not yet publicly available. Public release is planned after completion of a private audit, which is currently pending.

PROOF OF FAIRNESS
Can network participation remain competitive without allowing raw computational power alone to dominate block production?
Proof of Fairness is UNFTCHAIN's block-production model. It introduces mechanisms intended to distribute mining opportunities more fairly between eligible network participants while maintaining independently verifiable blockchain consensus.
The protocol continues to evolve through real network operation, measurement and governance.
One eligible miner. One position. One block per cycle.
Deterministic block production.
Designed to preserve unique participation.
CONSERVATIVE ENGINEERING
Bitcoin's UTXO model, transaction structure and conservative engineering philosophy provided a strong foundation for a network focused on verifiable digital utility. UNFTCHAIN is not intended to reproduce Bitcoin's economic model.
ENERGY-CONSCIOUS BY DESIGN · BUILT TO LAST
A network should grow through useful participation, without making ever more powerful machines the price of entry. UNFTChain’s Proof of Fairness puts verified participation before raw computing power.
The system does not require a hardware arms race. Mining eligibility comes from the protocol’s fairness rules and ZKI, rather than from accumulating computing power. Its turn-based model allows the node to remain idle for most of the time instead of continuously running intensive mining computations.
Conventional hardware can contribute according to its capabilities and node role. Reusing suitable computers and choosing lightweight roles can extend their working life and reduce pressure for repeated equipment replacement.
Mining, storage, connectivity and hosting have different resource needs. Separating these roles lets operators choose equipment for the service they provide, instead of treating maximum performance as a universal requirement.
Project-reported measurements from our pioneer nodes put average power consumption at around 15 W — equivalent to 15 Wh over one hour, comparable to a light bulb. This is an observation from those nodes, not a fixed consumption figure for every setup. Actual usage varies with hardware, node role and workload; idle nodes remain online to support the network.

OP_RETURN
Protocol data used for proofs and utility-oriented NFTs can be committed through OP_RETURN, rather than requiring additional spendable outputs solely to preserve metadata.
UNFTCHAIN extends the available OP_RETURN payload to up to 512 bytes, providing additional space for application-level protocol data while keeping it provably unspendable.

THE NETWORK, IN NUMBERS
A UTXO-based layer 1 with identity-gated block production, a deterministic cadence and a defined reward allocation.
ZKI links participation to a unique verified person. The O → I state transition records a consumed mining turn within the Fairness Loop; raw computing power alone does not establish eligibility.
Mining nodes produce blocks, Storage nodes provide storage, Reachers contribute connectivity and Host nodes support the underlying infrastructure.
THE UNFTCHAIN POSITION
A lot of crypto noise gathered around a genuinely useful idea. Somewhere along the way, the price tag got more attention than the technology. We named this chain uNFT because we believe an NFT should do something useful.
uNFTs are utility NFTs: certificates, proofs, document fingerprints, licenses, digital objects, ownership references or application-specific state.
They are designed to be created through simple RPC calls, without creating extra spendable UTXOs just to store protocol metadata. The goal is to make creation approachable for anyone comfortable using a computer, without requiring a blockchain development background.
“Less hype.
More proof.”
Art is one use. A certificate, a document fingerprint or a verifiable record can be another. The value starts with what people can actually do with it.

INITIAL SUPPLY / DISTRIBUTION / TRANSPARENCY
The initial supply was created to encourage community adoption and different forms of on-chain participation under UNFTChain’s pre-launch consensus. Zero coins are allocated to founders.
EMISSION / A MULTI-GENERATION HORIZON
UNFTChain’s maximum supply is 18,000,000 UNFT. With a target cadence of one block every 10 minutes (600 seconds) and the scheduled subsidy halvings, the project’s issuance horizon is approximately 90 years from launch.
The final scheduled halving occurs at block 2,400,000, approximately 45.6 years into the network’s life at the target cadence. Issuance continues after that halving at the reduced subsidy.
| Halving | Block height | Time from launch at 600 s/block |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | 100,000 | ~1.9 years |
| 2 | 300,000 | ~5.7 years |
| 3 | 600,000 | ~11.4 years |
| 4 | 1,200,000 | ~22.8 years |
| 5 | 2,400,000 | ~45.6 years |
Years are projections from launch, not fixed calendar deadlines. Halvings are defined by block height; the exact end of issuance depends on the protocol’s supply-cap and final-subsidy rules.
Distribution plan ≠ coins already transferred. Each pool’s current status is stated below.
First round launching: 50 UNFT per participant × up to 10,000 people = 500,000 UNFT, included within this 2,000,000 UNFT envelope. A proposal under governance review would dedicate 500,000 UNFT from this same pool to Reachers, leaving 1,500,000 UNFT for public airdrops.

NOT YET ALLOCATEDA dedicated participation airdrop, scheduled to begin at month 6 and run for five years.
SCHEDULED / STARTING MONTH 6Founder-operated Storage nodes currently supporting the network remain excluded from Storage block rewards, as described in our Fair Launch statement.
TREASURY / A TRANSPARENT TRANSITION
The treasury began as a single-signature wallet. The initial 10,000 UNFT transfer to UNFTProof was made during launch to test the allocation mechanism. Further allocations have been held back pending the transition to multisig.
Pool sizes describe intended use; statuses distinguish completed allocations, planned releases and proposals. This initial supply is separate from subsequent block subsidies.

We’re working hard to publish the APIs developers and curious builders need to start tinkering with the chain: blockchain verification, timestamp certification, transaction monitoring, proof validation and application services.
The chain has a deterministic clock. Our developers, unfortunately, still need coffee and sleep. We’re human. We’re building. Bear with us.
UNFTCHAIN is implementing application-level services for Reacher nodes and storage pool management. These services operate around the base network while preserving the blockchain as the independently verifiable proof layer.
NETWORK OPERATORS
UNFTCHAIN miners operate network nodes and participate in Proof of Fairness block production. Private mining licenses are currently distributed through the UNFTCHAIN ecosystem.
UNFTCHAIN DISTRIBUTION · INFRASTRUCTURE ON UNFTCOIN.COM
Join the community airdrop and receive UNFT coins for free when you complete the participation requirements. The participation flow is hosted on unftcoin.com, using infrastructure provided by UNFT Labs, SL to implement UNFTChain’s pre-launch distribution consensus.
The airdrop is part of UNFTChain’s founding distribution plan, established by consensus before launch. It follows the network’s Fair Launch intention: zero coins allocated to founders, with the initial distribution intended to encourage different on-chain participation roles.
UNFT Labs, SL provides only the technical infrastructure through unftcoin.com to carry out the airdrop. The airdrop is governed by UNFTChain’s pre-launch consensus, not managed by UNFT Labs, SL. unftcoin.com hosts the participation flow because unftchain.org serves as the network’s information and technical reference website.
unftcoin.com is operated by UNFT Labs, SL. UNFT Labs, SL and UNFTChain share founders but are independent projects; providing this infrastructure does not give UNFT Labs control over the airdrop’s governance or allocation.
You will leave unftchain.org. Please review the campaign conditions on unftcoin.com.
