The Decentralized
Proof-of-Work Layer 1

Ethash Mining Power

Secured by one of the most battle-tested Proof-of-Work algorithms, powered by globally distributed miners with proven reliability and long-term security.

EVM at Layer-1

Fully compatible with Ethereum tooling, contracts, and standards — enabling DeFi, NFTs, GameFi, and more without modification.

Immutable & Transparent

Every transaction, contract, and state change is permanent, publicly verifiable, and resistant to censorship or tampering.

No Central Control

No admin keys, no privileged roles — consensus is enforced by miners and protocol rules, not by foundations or teams.

Fair & Sustainable

With predictable emissions and no dev tax, rewards flow directly to miners, ensuring fairness and long-term security.

Open & Composable

Any developer can build explorers, wallets, and dApps. PowLayer integrates seamlessly with the broader Ethereum ecosystem.

Fixed Low Supply

Hard-capped at 10M XPL — predictable, scarce, and resistant to inflation.

No Dev Fees

All block rewards and transaction fees go directly to miners. No hidden taxes.

No Uncle Rewards

No uncle block subsidies — ensuring clean tokenomics and a clear 10M max supply.

No Instamine

Genesis block difficulty was set to 1T to avoid instamine and ensure a fair launch.

Low Transaction Fees

EVM-compatible gas model with predictable, low-cost transactions for users and dApps.

Official dApps

We will launch utility dApps on-chain — DeFi, NFT, GameFi, SocialFi — to bootstrap the ecosystem.

Create a Contract

Write Solidity, deploy with Hardhat/Foundry, and verify via standard RPC. Contracts behave exactly like on Ethereum.

Example: Minimal ERC-20 (OpenZeppelin)

// SPDX-License-Identifier: MIT
pragma solidity ^0.8.20;

import "@openzeppelin/contracts/token/ERC20/ERC20.sol";

contract NewToken is ERC20 {
    constructor(uint256 initialSupply) ERC20("New Token", "NWT") {
        _mint(msg.sender, initialSupply);
    }
}

Deploy once, then integrate with wallets, DEXs, and dashboards exactly as you would on Ethereum.

Tooling & RPC

Use standard Ethereum tools. Point your provider at a PowLayer RPC and deploy as usual.

Hardhat (example)

/** hardhat.config.js **/
require("@nomicfoundation/hardhat-toolbox");
module.exports = {
  networks: {
    powlayer: {
      url: "https://rpc.powlayer.com/",
      chainId: 70707,
      accounts: ["0xYOUR_PRIVATE_KEY"]
    }
  },
  solidity: "0.8.20"
};

Deploy script (snippet)

// scripts/deploy.js
const hre = require("hardhat");
async function main() {
  const NewToken = await hre.ethers.getContractFactory("NewToken");
  const supply = hre.ethers.parseUnits("1000000", 18); // 1,000,000 NWT
  const token = await NewToken.deploy(supply);
  await token.waitForDeployment();
  console.log("Deployed:", await token.getAddress());
}
main().catch(console.error);

Tip: target ~12.5s blocks; wait several confirmations for higher assurance on critical flows.
