Huginn Chain

A product-first Geth-based PoW blockchain built as a platform for scalable applications.

Huginn Chain is a Geth-compatible proof-of-work network built with product integrations in mind. We focus on delivering reliable network quality and developer tooling so teams can build real-world applications on a stable blockchain foundation. The native token, HGN, will be used across products and services within the ecosystem.

The Huginn Ecosystem

The Huginn ecosystem is centered on a simple idea: provide a reliable blockchain platform and enable product teams to build on top of it.

HGN

Native token of the Huginn ecosystem.

HGN is the native token used across Huginn Chain products and integrations. Tokenomics and distribution parameters will be documented in the dedicated economic specification as the project matures.

Native Utility: HGN will be used within products and services built on Huginn Chain
Geth-Compatible: Token and tooling align with the geth-compatible client model
Under Development: Formal tokenomics will be published prior to mainnet launches

Huginn Chain

Geth-based PoW network designed for product integrations.

Huginn Chain is a Geth-compatible proof-of-work blockchain with a 10-second block time. The design emphasizes network quality, predictable operation, and developer-friendly tooling so applications built on the chain behave reliably in production.

Geth-Compatible Nodes: Familiar tooling and JSON-RPC support for fast developer adoption
10s Block Time: Tuned for responsive user-facing applications
Fork Handling & Stability: Focus on network quality and predictable behavior
Treasury & Ecosystem: Funding and governance mechanisms to support product development

Huginn Applications

Products built on a dependable blockchain platform.

Huginn Chain is intended to be the foundation for practical products: wallets, explorers, and user-facing services such as a decentralized P2P messenger that integrates HGN. Our priority is enabling product teams to move quickly while relying on a stable network.

What Makes Huginn Unique

Proof of Work (PoW)

Huginn is a mining-first network secured by proof of work. There are no validators or staking mechanisms; miners secure the chain and maintain censorship resistance through open participation.

Product-First Platform

Huginn is designed to be a reliable platform for products — wallets, explorers, services, and user-facing applications like a decentralized P2P messenger. Our priorities are predictable block times, robust JSON-RPC tooling, and operational stability for production workloads.

Economic Model

Tokenomics (HGN)

Formal tokenomics for HGN will be published prior to mainnet. The project follows a transparent, community-driven process to finalize distribution, supply cap, and emission schedule.

  • Pre-mine: 1,000,000 HGN allocated to dev fund
  • Block Reward Allocation: 15% to dev fund, 85% to miners
  • Maximum Supply: Unlimited (controlled emission)
  • Initial Block Reward: To be determined
  • Emission Schedule: Will be documented and open for community review

Reward Distribution

Huginn's block reward distribution: 85% to miners for security, 15% to dev fund for ecosystem development. Fee distribution: 80% to miners, 20% to dev fund. Exact parameters will be published alongside the tokenomics spec.

Treasury

The project plans to allocate a portion of block rewards/fees to ecosystem development and infrastructure. Treasury governance and cap parameters will be defined in the economic specification.

Security & Decentralization

Security Features

  • Cryptographic Security: Industry-standard hashing and signature schemes
  • Ethereum-style Addresses: geth-compatible account model and address format
  • BIP39 Mnemonics & Keystore: Standard wallet interoperability
  • JSON-RPC Security: Rate limiting and CORS recommendations for public endpoints
  • Fork Protection: Automatic chain reorganization and predictable behavior

Decentralization

  • Mining-Centric: Miners secure the network (no validators/staking)
  • Open Participation: Permissionless node operation and mining
  • Distributed Nodes: No single point of failure; emphasis on seed nodes and monitoring
  • Open Source: Code and specifications published for auditability

Getting Started

Quickstart (geth-compatible)

1) Initialize a node with genesis

geth init --datadir huginn-data genesis.json

2) Run the node with RPC enabled

geth --datadir huginn-data --networkid 12345 --http --http.addr "127.0.0.1" --http.port 8545 --http.api eth,net,web3,personal,miner --syncmode "full"

3) Start mining (example)

geth --datadir huginn-data --mine --miner.threads=1 --etherbase=0xYOUR_ADDRESS

Replace `0xYOUR_ADDRESS` with your account address (use `geth account new` to create one). The `genesis.json` file contains the chain configuration and will be published with the network parameters. Testnet mining includes rewards for early participants.

For Developers

  • RPC API: Full JSON-RPC 2.0 compatibility (eth, net, web3, personal, miner)
  • Docs: Developer guides and SDKs will be published in the repository
  • Testnet: Public testnet details and faucet will be announced. Mining includes rewards for early participants.
  • Explorer & SDKs: Early SDKs and explorer endpoints for integration testing
