The Spacemesh team has been hard at work for the past few months designing and developing a new layer one blockchain platform based on a novel consensus mechanism called Proof of Space-time. The public testnet is launching soon, and the "friends and family" testnet is now live. Come out on the eve of the Stanford Blockchain Conference and meet the team in a casual, meet-and-greet format to learn about the project, join the testnet, and to chat about general trends in the industry.

Special thanks to our friends and co-host, Quantstamp!

About the Spacemesh 0.1 Testnet

The Spacemesh Testnet is a public beta release of the Spacemesh p2p software platform. Anyone, anywhere with a computer and an Internet connection can join without any permission and participate in the Spacemesh p2p network.

The Testnet is designed to test the Spacemesh protocols and software prior to release of the Spacemesh Mainnet and the Spacemesh cryptocurrency.

About Spacemesh

Spacemesh is a programmable cryptocurrency open-source platform powered by a novel Proof of Space-time (PoST) consensus protocol. It is powered by a novel consensus protocol that is secure, proof of work-free and highly incentive-compatible. Spacemesh does not use Proof of Stake or Proof of Work protocols, thus it avoids some of their inherent issues, such as massive energy waste, mining pooling and centralization. Spacemesh is designed to create a highly-decentralized p2p blockchain computer formed by individuals from around the globe running Spacemesh on their desktop PCs at home. It is a free, open source software that aims to become a core Internet protocol for blockchain computation.
