I built an open-source Proof-of-Work cryptocurrency network and the Mainnet is now running

Over the last few days I’ve been working on an open-source cryptocurrency project called AuronQ (AURQ).

The Mainnet is now live and the ecosystem has started growing around it.

Current state:

• Windows and Linux full nodes
• CPU mining
• NVIDIA GPU mining
• multiple independent mining pools
• Android light wallet
• public blockchain explorer / network monitoring
• open-source implementation

AuronQ uses a UTXO ledger, Proof-of-Work, ML-DSA-87 post-quantum transaction signatures and its own AQM64 PoW construction.

One of the main goals now is not to keep adding features, but to make the existing network stable, decentralized and capable of operating independently.

It has been interesting to watch external miners, pool operators and other people start integrating with the network without being directly involved in its development.

It’s still a young network and has not yet received an independent professional security or cryptographic audit, so the current focus is gradual real-world testing and stabilization.
