01 / THE TECHNICAL DIRECTION
Built for a stronger
blockchain future.
The BTGS community selected a Dash Core-based relaunch with SHA-256 Proof-of-Work mining in the October 4, 2026 poll (80% support). This is the chosen direction, not a claim that the new network is live.

PROOF OF WORK
SHA-256 Mining
Selected mining direction for the proposed new chain. Difficulty adjustment will be determined through testnet evaluation.
⬡
NETWORK LAYER
SmartNodes
Planned node infrastructure, with collateral, reward allocation and quorum settings still subject to community decisions and testing.
◇
SECURITY DESIGN
ChainLocks
Planned Dash-derived security functionality. Activation and reliable operation must be demonstrated before launch.
Community GitHub: github.com/BTGS-Community currently contains the original BTGS source-code backup (btgs-core-old) and the wallet releases repository for the current chain (btgs-wallet). The planned relaunch is still in preparation, and this reference does not state that its source code has been published.

02 / COMMUNITY DECISIONS
Funding built on transparency.
The community voted for a declining development allocation for the proposed new chain. Budget, payment terms and governance require separate approval.

03 / DEVELOPMENT JOURNEY
A clear path forward.
No promised dates. Every phase depends on technical readiness and community review. Community polls and the snapshot review overlap rather than run in strict sequence.
Community Polls & Funding
Finalize network settings, rewards, SmartNode collateral and development funding through community decisions.
Snapshot & Premine Review
Verify blockchain data, review draft exclusions and prepare snapshot rules for community approval.
Core Development
Build and review the new Dash-based BTGS blockchain and wallet after the required decisions and funding agreement.
Public Testnet
Test mining, SmartNodes, transactions, ChainLocks and network stability.
Mainnet Launch
Launch only after successful testing, reviews and community approval.
Block reward, block time, supply, SmartNode collateral and snapshot rules are not final.
04 / OPEN DEVELOPMENT
