MORANA
NETWORK

Privacy. For Everyone.

Morana is a proof-of-work network with its own coin, XMOR, a wallet and a messenger. The wallet supports private transfers, and the messenger encrypts conversations on your device. The network is currently a closed testnet. Participation is by invitation, and the servers are operated by the project. Testnet coins have no value. The project has no investors and no premine. Coins are not for sale.

01The whole project

Eight parts, one network.

The wallet, messenger and services that keep the network running.

How it fits together

Miners secure the chain. The gateway provides blockchain data, and the wallet and messenger verify its responses. Relays deliver encrypted messages. MORID names are stored on-chain.

The wallet keeps keys on your device and verifies block headers and cryptographic proofs.

01 / Follow the path

Your keys stay on your device.

The wallet creates and signs the transfer on your device, then submits it through the gateway. Nodes validate it against the network’s rules.

  1. 01

    Prepare locally

    Keys and signing stay with the wallet.

  2. 02

    Reach the chain

    The gateway provides blockchain data without access to your private keys.

  3. 03

    Validate together

    Consensus decides what enters the ledger.

Community connects the people.

03Your own space

Two profiles. Your boundaries.

The app has two profiles: Morana and Shadow. Each has separate storage and settings. By default, Shadow has its own 24-word recovery phrase.

One application · two independent profiles

CONVERSATION · ITS OWN BOUNDARY

A space just for conversation.

Shadow is a second profile for messaging only, with its own key and storage, and no wallet or MORID name. Shadow is designed to connect only through bridges or Tor. This protection is not yet fully implemented on the closed testnet: a relay operator may see the device’s IP address.

04Private by architecture

Privacy starts with you.

Keys are stored on your device, profile data is kept separate, and messages are encrypted before sending. Here is how transfers, conversations and names are protected.

Four privacy boundaries.
01 / Your transfers

Choose what is visible.

A transparent transfer shows its addresses and amount on the chain. A Sapling shielded transfer hides the amount, the sender and the recipient, while the network still checks that no coins were created from nothing.

A visual comparison · no transaction is sent
02 / Your profiles

Two profiles. Your boundaries.

Morana and Shadow keep separate storage and settings; Shadow has its own recovery phrase by default. Shadow carries the conversation without a wallet or a MORID name.

Morana · money, name and conversation
03 / Your conversations

Only the participants can read the conversation.

The messenger encrypts each message on your device. Relays deliver the encrypted envelope and see the mailbox number and the envelope’s padded size. The recipient’s messenger decrypts it. Conversation text is not recorded on the blockchain.

Local illustration · no network message is sent
04 / Your identity

A name held by your key.

MORID is recorded in the chain and belongs to your key. A name lasts a year and renews for a quarter of its base price. No phone number or e-mail address is needed to start a conversation.

05Consensus rules

Economics by formula.

One block reward, three recipients. The shares change from era to era (an era is about four years between halvings, when the block reward is cut in half), and the network issues no extra coins.

Reward allocation / consensus ruleSCHEDULE · NOT LIVE PAYOUTS

Blocks 1–525,600

2,500 XMOR

Total subsidy per block

Miners · at least 80%Development · 17%Relays · up to 3%

All shares come from the same subsidy. Whatever relays do not take goes to the miner in that block.

01 / SECURE

Miner share

≥ 80%

At least 2,000 XMOR / block

Work secures the chain. Any unused relay budget stays with the miner, and the miner who includes a name registration or renewal in a block receives 20 % of its fee.

02 / BUILD

Developer share

17%

425 XMOR / block

The developer share is paid from each block, with no coins allocated in advance. It ends after the third halving.

03 / CONNECT

Relay share

≤ 3%

Up to 75 XMOR / block

Paid in turn to relays with a sufficient stake and a regular heartbeat on the chain, up to a weekly cap. On top, relays receive 80 % of name fees.

Halving interval2,100,000 blocks

The schedule is a consensus rule: every node checks each block against it. What a given relay receives depends on its stake and its heartbeat. Explore the protocol ↗

06Find your way in

Find your way in

You can help test the network as a miner, relay operator or app user. The network is currently a closed testnet, and participation is by invitation.

Six ways to contribute · workspace illustrations
  • 01 / Mine on the testnet

    Miner

    Point a GPU at the pool or solo-mine with moranad.

    WHAT IT OPENS

    Block rewards. For now, these are testnet coins with no value. Mining does not require a stake.

    Your first steps
    1. Read the KawPow mining guide.
    2. Choose pool mining or solo mining with moranad.
    3. Follow the testnet setup instructions.
    Explore mining
  • 02 / Keep conversations moving

    Relay operator

    Run a relay, lock a stake and send a regular heartbeat to the chain.

    WHAT IT OPENS

    A share of the block reward in turn, equally with other live relays, plus 80 % of name fees. On the closed testnet the project runs the relays; independent operators join on the open testnet.

    Your first steps
    1. Read the relay requirements and participation rules.
    2. Understand the stake and the heartbeat.
    3. Follow the operator documentation.
    Explore relay operation
  • 03 / Verify the shared ledger

    Node operator

    Run a full node and keep an independent copy of the chain.

    WHAT IT OPENS

    You check for yourself which chain is real, without relying on anyone’s gateway.

    Your first steps
    1. Open the node download and setup guide.
    2. Prepare a machine for your own copy of the chain.
    3. Follow the documented testnet synchronization steps.

07What comes next

A network in the making.

Four main stages: closed testnet with economics testing, stress testing, open testnet and mainnet. Mainnet is aimed at Q1–Q2 2027: a working target, not a promised date.

WE ARE HERE

01 / We are here

Closed testnet

Mining, transfers, names and messaging are working. Nodes, the gateway, the pool and relays run on servers operated by the project. The wallet and messenger run on participants’ devices. Participation is by invitation. Economics testing uses the project’s relays alongside fake relays set up specifically for testing and name-buying bots.

What it opens
The full network working together: wallet, mining, names and private conversations.
Ready when
Four weeks of relay and name economics testing are planned for the closed testnet.

Select a point to explore the stage. Checks, not the calendar, set the timing. Read the full roadmap ↗

Open testnet

Test branches

Separate tests of relay-based VPN and the MorPow algorithm are planned for the open testnet. The results will determine whether they are used on mainnet.

VPN on relays

In the test branch, relay operators will be able to choose to run a VPN on their server with a separate IP address. By default, connections will pass through two endpoints run by different operators: the entry sees the user’s IP address but not the destination; the exit sees the destination but not the user’s IP address. The VPN is planned as a messenger module. Users will pay operators directly through private transfers, with no accounts. The testnet will offer a free quota and payment in test coins. The test results will determine whether the VPN is used on mainnet.

MorPow

MorPow is the working name for a KawPow variant with its own constants and a small table in the GPU cache. It is intended to support older GPUs as well. The goals are to make attacks using rented standard-KawPow hashpower harder and to reduce power consumption on individual cards. Compatibility and power use will be checked on a separate test network with its own miner. The current network runs on KawPow. The mainnet algorithm will be chosen based on the test results.
