ADR-006 — Fair launch and founder early-mining disclosure

  • Status: Accepted
  • Date: 2026-09-03 (disclosure written the day the chain went live)
  • Related: ADR-002 (emission), ADR-007 (no protocol revenue), ADR-010 (2-minute blocks, re-genesis)

Decision

MoonBite launches with no premine, no founder allocation, no dev tax and no hidden mining advantage. Every MBITE that exists was produced by the public proof-of-work rules in the public source code. The miner the founder runs is the same moonbited binary that is published for download; there is no faster private build.

What a fair launch cannot avoid is that somebody mines the first blocks. This document records exactly who did, with what, and how much, so that nobody has to take it on trust.

The seed node on the network does not mine. Anyone can verify the figures above with the public explorer (/api/explorer/blocks) or their own node: every coinbase output up to the point other miners appear pays the address listed here.

Earlier chains

Two earlier mainnets (genesis 2a5ae281… and cabdebc6…) were abandoned before public announcement when the block-time and difficulty parameters were changed (ADR-010). Nothing mined on them exists on this chain. Their data directories are archived, not carried forward.

Commitments

  • Founder-mined coins stay at the address above. Any movement out of it will

be announced in a new ADR before it happens.

  • Any change to these commitments will be recorded as a new ADR before it

happens, never after.

  • This file will be updated with the block height at which the first

non-founder miner produced a block, once that happens.
