Custom Mining Coin / Token Launch
A launchable coin (proof-of-work fork from a vetted base) or a token (ERC-20, SPL, equivalent) — tokenomics in code, testnet before mainnet.
<p>This is the launch engagement. The deliverable is a chain or contract that exists on testnet first, mainnet second, with the tokenomics structured as code rather than as a slide, the genesis configuration reproducible, and the operational scaffolding to run the network the day after launch. Engineering scope is mine; legal scope is your counsel's. I will not opine on whether your launch is registered, permitted, or compliant.</p>
<p>The buyer for this page is a founder or founding team who has chosen the chain or coin model, has legal cover in place, and needs the engineering shipped by someone who will not vanish after launch day. The parent — <a href="/services/blockchain">Blockchain Services</a> — sets the perimeter; this page is the coin-or-token shape of the work.</p>
<h2>Two paths</h2>
<h3>Proof-of-work coin (fork)</h3>
<p>A new chain forked from a vetted base. Base-chain selection on technical merit: the hashing algorithm, the difficulty-adjustment algorithm, the network protocol maturity. Block-reward schedule defined in code. Premine policy explicit. Difficulty adjustment tested against simulated network bootstrap. Genesis configuration reproducible. Seed nodes provisioned. Mining client packaging for the target operating systems.</p>
<h3>Token on existing chain</h3>
<p>ERC-20 on Ethereum, SPL on Solana, or equivalent on other EVM and non-EVM chains. Contract written, reviewed against the chain's standards, tested with a comprehensive test suite, deployed to testnet, audited by a third-party firm if the launch scale warrants it. Supply schedule, vesting, and treasury controls structured in code. Multisig topology for treasury operations.</p>
<h2>Testnet before mainnet</h2>
<p>No mainnet event without a testnet rollout that survives a defined test pass: contract deploys cleanly, transactions execute with the expected gas profile, vesting unlocks on the expected schedule, mining clients (for coins) sync against seed nodes, the explorer indexes the testnet correctly, and the wallet signs transactions correctly. The testnet pass is the precondition for mainnet, not a step the founder gets to skip because the calendar is tight.</p>
<h2>What I ship</h2>
<ul>
<li><strong>Chain or contract code.</strong> Reviewed, tested, deployed first to testnet.</li>
<li><strong>Tokenomics in code.</strong> Supply schedule, vesting, treasury controls, premine policy.</li>
<li><strong>Genesis configuration.</strong> Reproducible, version-controlled, replayable.</li>
<li><strong>Seed nodes and bootstrap infrastructure.</strong> Provisioned, monitored, documented.</li>
<li><strong>Mining client packaging (for coins).</strong> Windows, Linux, macOS binaries with checksums.</li>
<li><strong>Operational runbook.</strong> Node monitoring, RPC endpoints, alerting, key rotation, treasury operations.</li>
</ul>
<h2>Where it fits</h2>
<h3>Proof-of-work mineable coin</h3>
<p>The founder has chosen a coin model (rather than a token on an existing chain) for reasons of philosophy, regulatory positioning, or technical fit. The work is the chain code, the genesis config, the mining client, and the supporting infrastructure shipped as a coherent stack rather than scavenged from forks. Legal scope is the founder's counsel.</p>
<h3>Token on Ethereum or Solana</h3>
<p>The project lives on an existing chain. The work is the contract, the deployment pipeline, the audit prep, and the post-launch operational scaffolding. The wallet, marketing site, and explorer are scoped on the sibling pages.</p>
<h3>Bridge to an existing chain</h3>
<p>The project needs interoperability between a custom chain and an established one. Bridge engineering is in scope when the design is well-understood and the threat model is documented; I will not ship a bridge whose security posture has not been written down.</p>
<h2>How I work</h2>
<p>Discovery scopes the chain or token model, the tokenomics, the launch storefront (where the coin or token will first be available), the legal-cover status (I confirm that counsel of record exists; I do not provide the legal opinion), and the launch calendar. Implementation runs in two-week sprints with testnet milestones and a documented testnet-pass gate before mainnet. The principal carrying the work is described <a href="/about">on the about page</a>.</p>
<h2>Engagement model</h2>
<p>Discovery runs two to three weeks. Testnet implementation runs four to eight weeks for a contract, six to twelve weeks for a chain. Audit prep is scoped if the launch scale warrants a third-party audit (highly recommended for tokens on EVM chains). Mainnet launch is a one-week event with a defined runbook. A 30-day post-launch support window covers the chain or contract, not the legal or marketing surface. To scope a launch, <a href="/contact">get in touch</a>.</p>
