Trust through transparency, not promises
Every block is chained by SHA-256 hashes. Tamper with one record and the entire chain rejects it — security guaranteed by computation, not policy.
Built from scratch · Pure Go · No dependencies
A blockchain forged
with institutional precision
ChainForge is a full blockchain implemented from first principles in Go — Proof of Work consensus, a Bitcoin-style UTXO ledger, and ECDSA wallets. No frameworks. No shortcuts. Just engineering.

The Thesis
Value moves at the speed of trust. We rebuilt the rails.
For a century, capital flowed through marble halls and closed ledgers guarded by intermediaries. ChainForge replaces that machinery with cryptographic certainty — a distributed ledger where every transaction is verifiable, immutable, and final.
No custodians. No counterparties. No permission required. Just mathematics, consensus, and the open network.

Block #1 · Genesis
The first block was mined on a single laptop. The network it started can never be stopped.
An Institution Without Walls
“The old guard built fortunes behind closed doors. We wrote the vault open — in pure Go, line by line.”

Built for the Long Game
The infrastructure of trustless finance
ChainForge delivers the guarantees institutions demand and the openness the next century of capital requires.
Decentralized network
Nodes gossip over raw TCP, syncing the ledger peer-to-peer. No central server, no single point of failure, no off switch.
Cryptographic ownership
Funds are controlled by P-256 private keys alone. Your signature is your authority — no account, no custodian, no recovery desk.
Verifiable settlement
Transactions clear the moment a block is mined. Finality is mathematical and irreversible, settling in seconds rather than days.
Open & auditable
The full protocol is readable Go source. Audit the consensus, fork the chain, or run a node — the rules are transparent to everyone.
Sound monetary policy
A fixed issuance schedule and UTXO accounting make supply predictable and provable. Scarcity enforced by code, not committee.
The Technology Stack
Engineered to the metal
Three foundational systems, each written by hand in Go. The product shows the backend code so that you can understand and trace every line from genesis block to signed transaction.
Proof of Work
proofofwork.go
A SHA-256 mining loop with targetBits=16. Every block is sealed by real computation — nonces hashed until the proof clears the difficulty target.
UTXO Ledger
transaction.go
Bitcoin-style unspent transaction outputs. No account balances — value flows as discrete, verifiable outputs that are spent and recreated with each transfer.
ECDSA Wallets
wallet.go
Keys generated on the P-256 curve with Base58Check addresses. Every transaction is cryptographically signed and verified before it enters the chain.
