PECTARA Open Explorer
THE ROADMAP

Building step by step.

Where Pectara is today, what comes next, and what is still undecided. There are no launch dates here on purpose: mainnet will launch when it is ready, not before.

Right now: second public testnet, running since 13 October 2026.

PROGRESS

From design to testnet to mainnet.

  1. Done

    Foundation

    • Peercoin chosen as the base (MIT licence), re-implemented in Zig.
    • Economic simulator used to test the design before consensus code was written.
    • Core chain: RandomX mining, DigiShield difficulty retargeting, SegWit and Taproot, a 60-second block time.
  2. Done

    Public testnet

    • Node (pecd), command line (pec-cli), CPU miner (pec-miner) and the PEC Wallet desktop app, for Windows and Linux.
    • Staking and mining working side by side, with the staking start at block 1,000 on the testnet.
    • On-chain names and a read-only explorer interface for services like this one.
    • Programs update themselves from published releases, checked against a SHA-256 checksum.
  3. Now

    Testing and hardening

    • Frequent testnet releases, with occasional resets when the chain starts again from nothing.
    • Reviewing the consensus rules chosen for the testnet before they are carried to mainnet.
    • This website and block explorer.
  4. Mainnet

    A fair launch

    • No genesis allocation and no sale: coins come only from blocks.
    • A proof-of-work-only opening of roughly one to three months, then staking begins and mining carries on beside it. The current plan is around 43,200 blocks, and it may change.
    • A permanent 1% share of each block reward goes to an operating treasury. This is the plan today and could still change before launch.
  5. Later

    Ideas not yet decided

    • Community voting and a development treasury.
    • Peer-to-peer swaps from the wallet, and a browser extension for names on social media.
    • Mobile and light wallets, and macOS builds (not available yet).

Parameters and dates can change as testing teaches us more. The latest status is always visible live in the explorer.
