CPH Core

Sovereign SHA-256 Network

Independent chain operations, public explorer access, and bootstrap-era network visibility.

About CPH Core

CPH Core aims to be a Bitcoin-like network with its own public infrastructure and modern operator tooling.

The project combines a Bitcoin-style monetary profile with an independently managed bootstrap stack, public explorer, release gating, and a roadmap toward a cleaner wallet and stronger trust lane.

Project Overview

What defines the current CPH Core network

This is the public-facing explanation layer for the current bootstrap-ready network.

Bitcoin-like Monetary Design

CPH follows a SHA-256 proof-of-work profile with a 21 million cap, 50 CPH initial subsidy, 10 minute target spacing, and 2016-block retargeting.

Independent Network Identity

CPH uses its own chain identity, bootstrap topology, release candidate flow, and public explorer while staying close to Bitcoin-style operational discipline.

Bootstrap-Ready Today

The current public surface includes live DNS seeds, bootstrap nodes, explorer access, and launch gating designed for a staged opening process.

Project Principles

The ideas that shape the public site and the network itself.

This is where CPH should feel more like a project with a philosophy, not only a stack of bootstrap tools.

Open Participation

Anyone should be able to inspect the chain, run a node, join the bootstrap layer, and review releases without needing private infrastructure.

Verifiable Distribution

Release candidates, manifests, detached signatures, and trusted signer packets are part of the intended public trust model.

Independent Infrastructure

CPH is designed to rely on its own DNS seeds, bootstrap nodes, explorer surface, and operator topology rather than a hidden private stack.

Bitcoin-like Discipline

The project stays close to Bitcoin-style monetary rules while building a staged launch process that makes the earliest network state easier to audit.

Current Public Surface

  • 5 live DNS seeds in the current public topology.
  • 5 active bootstrap nodes in the current inventory.
  • Public explorer and status endpoints under cphcore.org.

Current Stage

  • Bootstrap-ready for opening-stage launch.
  • Explorer, release candidate flow, and handoff tooling are already in place.
  • The project is still advancing toward broader production maturity beyond bootstrap stage.
