Climate friendly innovation

Blockchains like Bitcoin's are dependent on enormous computer power for its security. This costs a lot of energy and has a substantial impact on our environment. The Gulden blockchain doesn't need a lot of energy to be one of the safest blockchains in the world thanks to our Witness technology.

More about the technology

Save up with Gulden

If you have Gulden, then you can add to the security of the blockchain and earn Gulden in the process. You do this by participating in the Witness system available through your own desktop app, but also via a Plug-and-play Raspberry Pi or even in the cloud.

Our technology

PoW²

PoW / Witness Hybrid

Whitepaper

PoW Miners compete to bundle the latest valid transactions into a new block.

PoW The winner generates a block.

Reward: 80 NLG

Witness The block has to be signed by a Witness.

Reward: 20 NLG

PoW + Witness Extends the blockchain.

150 seconds

The miner needs a Witness to verify the block before it becomes valid. Witnesses can only verify blocks that play according to the rules, so a miner has to share a block immediately to avoid losing money. This prevents miners from misbehaving. A Witness is anonymous and is selected at random.

A Witness is a Gulden user that has locked his or her Gulden (min. 5000 Gulden) for a certain period of time (min. 1 Month) and receives interest from the system itself.

Our development is efficient and future-oriented. All apps share the same Gulden core. New functionalities and improvements will be available on all apps. Every functionality has its own module and can be added per app.
