Currency-First Layer 1 Technology
Bitcoin started with a bold promise: peer-to-peer electronic cash. Decentralized money that anyone could use to buy, sell, and transfer value directly—no banks, no borders, no bs.
But somewhere along the way, it got stuck. Today, Bitcoin is celebrated as "digital gold"—a store of value for traders, gamblers, the wealthy and institutions. That's great for holding, but it strayed far from its roots as actual currency: fast, cheap, and usable for real-world transactions every day. Very few people spend Bitcoin like money anymore. High fees, slow confirmations, and congestion turned it into something to HODL, not spend.
TXC is here to bring crypto back to where it belongs—as money, for people, by people.
Where Bitcoin Got It Wrong
Satoshi Nakamoto's whitepaper described Bitcoin as "a peer-to-peer electronic cash system" designed for everyday payments without intermediaries. But as adoption grew, the network hit hard limits. The 1 MB block size cap (added early on) couldn't handle rising demand, leading to skyrocketing fees and delays during peaks—like in 2017.
That year sparked the infamous scaling debate: one side pushed for off-chain solutions (like Lightning) to keep blocks small and nodes accessible; the other demanded bigger blocks for on-chain scaling to keep transactions cheap and fast. When compromise failed, Roger Ver and supporters hard-forked to create Bitcoin Cash (BCH), increasing block sizes to enable more transactions per block and lower fees—aiming to restore Bitcoin's original vision as usable cash.
TXC learns from that history. We don't repeat the mistakes. We start fresh with a currency-first mindset.
Our Blank-Slate Approach:
Built for Transactions
TXC is a clean, modern Layer 1 blockchain refined from Litecoin's proven Scrypt-based code.
Why Litecoin? Because it was designed from the ground up as "digital silver" to Bitcoin's gold—faster block times (2.5 minutes vs. Bitcoin's 10), lower fees, and Scrypt mining that's more efficient.
Fast Confirmations
Big blocks every ~3 minutes mean transactions settle quickly, perfect for real-world use.
Low Transaction Costs
Designed to stay cheap even as the network grows, so you can actually spend TXC without wincing at fees.
Proof-of-Work Security
Merge mining with LTC/DOGE leverages battle-tested hashrate for robust protection.
Permissionless & Accessible
Our Texas-based, capped mining keeps it decentralized and individual-friendly—no room for megacorp domination.
The Hard Truth About Layer 1:
Why Most Take the Easy Way Out
Launching a brand-new Layer 1 isn't glamorous. You can't just plug into someone else's ecosystem and call it done. You have to build everything from scratch:
- Block explorers to track every transaction transparently
- Mempool explorers to monitor pending txs in real time
- Secure, user-friendly wallets for holding and sending
- Exchange integrations for liquidity and accessibility
- Developer tools, APIs, nodes, documentation... the full stack
It's grueling work—years of development, testing, security audits, and community building. That's why most projects opt for the shortcut: launch tokens on Ethereum, Solana, or another established chain. Lower risk, faster go-to-market, instant infrastructure.
But shortcuts come with strings. You surrender control to someone else's rules, governance, fees, and priorities. TXC refused that path. We did it the hard way because ultimate control matters—especially when the mission is honest, decentralized money. Rest assured: the people steering TXC are passionate about keeping it true to its roots. No corporate takeovers, no diluted vision. Just relentless focus on what currency should be.
Ready to Adapt – No Sacred Cows
If we ever face the same congestion Bitcoin hit in 2017? We won't hesitate. We'll upgrade block size, optimize transaction throughput, or implement whatever keeps TXC usable as everyday money. Flexibility is built in—because the goal isn't to be "digital gold" and get rich off transaction fees. It's to be digital cash that works.
TXC isn't chasing hype or institutional approval. We're rebuilding crypto's original promise: money that's truly peer-to-peer, accessible, and in the hands of the people who use it.
Why This Matters
In a world of volatile stores-of-value and centralized stablecoins, TXC stands for something simpler and more powerful: usable, decentralized currency. Join the movement to make crypto spendable again.
