Fast Payments. Low Fees. Post-Quantum Ready.
eCurrency is a fixed-supply Layer-1 blockchain built specifically for fast payments, with Falcon post-quantum cryptography, no-lockup staking, low fees, client-side contracts and lightweight token support.
The internet economy runs on digital payments. Few Layer-1 blockchains are purpose-built specifically for programmable internet payments. eCurrency is designed to fill that gap — a fixed-supply Layer-1 designed specifically for programmable, deterministic value transfer at global scale.
A Blockchain Designed for Programmable Payments
eCurrency is a blockchain network built to support programmable digital payments across the internet. Its architecture combines a transparent UTXO transaction model with Proof-of-Stake consensus and client-side smart contract logic. This enables flexible payment behaviour while maintaining efficiency and security. The ECR digital asset powers transactions, staking, and participation in the network economy.
eCurrency: The Programmable Payment Blockchain
// ABOUT TECHNOLOGY //
An Integrated Blockchain Architecture
eCurrency combines several complementary technologies to support programmable payments at scale. This integrated architecture ensures secure, efficient, and flexible value transfer across the network.
10-Second Blocks
Provides transparent value tracking and efficient transaction validation.
Proof-of-Stake Without Lockups
Participants can support consensus while maintaining liquidity of their ECR.
Client-Side Smart Contracts
Enable programmable payment logic without increasing the complexity of the blockchain.
Post-Quantum Protection
Cryptography designed for long-term resilience against emerging quantum computing threats.
The Economic Layer of the eCurrency Network
ECR is the native digital asset powering the eCurrency blockchain. It enables transactions, staking participation, and interaction with programmable payment systems.

10-Second Blocks
Deterministic block production every 10 seconds — no waiting, no unpredictable confirmation times.
Capped Supply
~316M ECR circulating, ~318M ECR max supply. New coins enter only through a fixed, halving block reward.
Negligible Fees
Transaction fees stay negligibly low, supported by the network's zero-fee transaction allowance and Reward Fund design.
Post-Quantum Security
Built with Falcon, a NIST-standardised post-quantum signature scheme — secured against both classical and quantum threats.

FAQ
What is eCurrency?
eCurrency (ECR) is a fixed-supply Layer-1 blockchain built specifically for digital payments. It has been live since 2018, uses a UTXO-native Proof-of-Stake consensus with 10-second block intervals, and includes native post-quantum cryptography. It is not a general-purpose platform. Every architectural decision was made with payments in mind.
What is the total supply of ECR?
ECR has a hard cap of approximately 318 million coins. Around 316 million comes from migrating legacy Proof-of-Work coins: burn the old coin, claim the equivalent on the new chain, one-way and capped at the legacy supply. The remaining up to 2 million comes from a terminal emission that starts once the migration window closes. It begins at 0.1 ECR per block, halves every 10 million blocks, and mints into the Network Reward Fund rather than paying validators directly. No issuance happens beyond these two fixed components.
How does staking work on eCurrency?
ECR uses coin-age Proof-of-Stake: your stake weight is coin value times how long it's held, not a locked amount. Coins stay liquid the whole time. Validators aren't paid from transaction fees directly. All fees, the migration fee, slashing fines, and the terminal emission pool into a single Network Reward Fund, and each block's winner gets a fixed 1/500 share of that balance. This keeps rewards smooth instead of tracking network activity block to block. Equivocation, signing two conflicting blocks at the same timeslot, costs a validator 10% of the staked amount involved, paid into the Reward Fund.
What makes eCurrency different from other blockchains?
Most blockchains were built for general-purpose computation and adapted for payments afterward. eCurrency was designed for payments from the start. Key differences: a capped supply on a fixed halving schedule, 10-second block times, deterministic UTXO accounting, client-side smart contracts without gas fees, and Falcon post-quantum cryptography, selected by NIST for post-quantum standardisation.
Does eCurrency support smart contracts?
Yes, through a Client-Side Smart Contract (CSSC) architecture. Contract logic executes off-chain; the blockchain verifies state transitions on-chain. This eliminates gas fees, removes re-entrancy attack risks, and keeps the network lightweight, functioning as a deterministic settlement engine rather than a global virtual machine (VM) that executes every contract on-chain.
