What is Chia?
Consensus and transactions
Chia’s mainnet began on March 19, 2021. Its consensus combines committed storage space with verifiable passage of time. Farmers create plots and provide proofs of space. Timelords perform verifiable delay calculations. Transactions use a coin-set model rather than conventional account balances. Chialisp programs define the conditions under which coins can be spent. Those programs run in the Chia Lisp Virtual Machine.
Coin issuance
The genesis allocation included a 21-million-XCH strategic reserve. That reserve is distinct from farming emissions. It is not a maximum cap on all XCH that can exist. Farming rewards decline through a sequence of block-height-based halvings. The current scheduled reward band distributes one XCH per reward event. Rewards are split between farmer and pool portions. After the scheduled reductions, issuance continues at a smaller perpetual rate. One XCH contains one trillion mojos. XCH pays transaction fees and supplies the native asset for smart transactions.
