CLKCIndependent Layer 1Proof of workRust

Clanker Coin

A GPU-powered cryptocurrency built for payments, the open web, and Web3.

Mine it. Send it. Build with it. Clanker Coin is an independent Rust-based Layer-1 blockchain secured by ClankerHash proof-of-work, with thirty-second blocks, a fixed issuance schedule, and one set of APIs for people and AI agents alike.

Live network

The network, right now

Measured from the public explorer and a public node. Nothing here is estimated where it can be counted, and nothing is invented where it cannot.

Network data unavailable: no public network yet

CLKC price. No market source is configured; the site does not estimate prices.

—

Market data not yet available. CLKC is not publicly traded.

Block height. The height of the best block the explorer has indexed.

—

No blocks indexed

Network hashrate. Work of the recent blocks divided by the time they took. An estimate, never a measurement.

—

Needs at least two blocks

Difficulty. Relative to the network's easiest target; 1.00 at genesis.

—

No target yet

Nodes online. Nodes reachable right now. A crawler count when one runs; otherwise the public node's peers plus itself.

—

Not measured yet

Users. Distinct addresses that have ever received coins. One person can hold many addresses, so this is a floor, not a census.

—

Funded addresses that have received CLKC

Average block time. Mean spacing of the recent blocks; the protocol targets thirty seconds.

—

Target: 30 s

Block reward. The subsidy the next block may claim, by the protocol's schedule.

—

Issuance complete

Supply issued. Coins the schedule has issued through the current height, an upper bound on what exists.

—

By the issuance schedule

Transactions. Every transaction the explorer has indexed on the active chain.

—

All time, coinbase included

Mempool. Unconfirmed transactions the public node holds.

—

Not available

Last block. The id of the best block and what its coinbase paid.

—

No block yet

Why Clanker Coin

Money first. Everything else follows.

Four properties a payment chain has to get right, and the design choices behind each.

GPU mining, open to all

ClankerHash is memory-hard and integer-only, built to run well on NVIDIA, AMD, and Apple Silicon with a CPU fallback. No vendor gets a consensus advantage; ASIC and FPGA hardware connects over the same open mining protocol.

Learn more

Fast, low-fee payments

Thirty-second blocks, a fee market with published confirmation guidance, and a merchant payment service with invoices and signed webhooks. Built for checkout, not just transfers.

Learn more

An open protocol

Consensus rules are public by design. Fifty CLKC per block, halving every four years, capped at about 420 million. No premine, no founder allocation, no admin key, no path to mint outside the schedule.

Learn more

Rust from consensus to GUI

Deterministic consensus with no floating point, no timezone, and no vendor dependence, producing identical results on every supported OS and architecture. Peers and RPC clients are never trusted.

Learn more

Humans and AI agents, one ledger

Built as a Tokenonomy

Clanker Coin started as a research question. If autonomous agents can communicate, work, barter, and keep ledgers, the missing layer is an economy that agents and people can use on the same terms. An agent gets no special treatment here: it uses the same wallet, the same RPC, and the same payment endpoints a person's software does, and the protocol neither knows nor cares which is which.

The chain itself is the dataset. Block times, fee markets, the distribution of mining, and the shape of the transaction graph are public by design. Wallet data never leaves your machine.

The research programmeProject Sid (arXiv)

  • Open markets or command structures?

    Given open markets, will agents keep them, build hierarchies, or invent something no one designed?

  • Permissionless value

    Will agents use cryptocurrency the way it was first imagined: an open utility for exchanging value?

  • One fee market

    How do people and agents behave when they share one economy, one fee market, and one ledger?

  • No special lanes

    Agents receive no protocol-level treatment. Same wallet, same RPC, same payment interfaces.

Mine CLKC

Mine with the hardware you already own

One miner binary, hardware detected automatically. Solo-mine against your own node or point external hardware at a pool over Clanker Stratum.

NVIDIA · CUDA

GeForce RTX, workstation, and data-center GPUs through the CUDA backend.

AMD · HIP / ROCm

Radeon and ROCm-compatible workstation GPUs through the HIP backend.

Apple Silicon · Metal

M-series Macs through a Metal backend held byte-identical to the reference.

Learn more

CPU fallback

Every platform mines on CPU, at CPU speeds. The Rust CPU implementation is the reference verifier.

Build with CLKC

Everything is an API

A bearer-token JSON-RPC on every node, a public explorer API, a merchant payment service, and SDKs in Rust and TypeScript with every amount a bigint.

JSON-RPC

Twenty-five typed methods over HTTP: chain, mempool, mining, network, and node. Amounts as decimal strings, hashes as hex.

Learn more

SDKs

Rust and TypeScript clients held to frozen fixtures generated from a real node. No build step, no dependencies.

Learn more

Payments

Invoices, confirmation tiers by amount, HMAC-signed webhooks, and watch-only wallets. The merchant never holds a seed online.

Learn more

Web3

Payment URIs, wallet authentication, payment requests, and blockchain data APIs. No smart contracts claimed until a VM exists.

Monetary policy

Supply is a property of the protocol

Every coin is mined into existence under a schedule that is part of consensus. The subsidy is a pure function of height: a shift and a compare, with no state, no averaging, and no way to mint outside it. What a share is worth is for open markets to decide; nobody here will tell you it will go up.
