Why the World Needs a PHP Blockchain

Blockchain development has a massive barrier to entry. To build a decentralized application (dApp) today, you usually have to learn an entirely new paradigm.

If you want to build on Ethereum, you learn Solidity. If you want to build on Solana, you learn Rust. If you want to build on Cosmos, you learn Go.

These are powerful tools, but they leave behind the single largest community of developers in the world.

PHP powers 77% of the web.

From WordPress to Laravel, from Facebook's origins to the vast majority of e-commerce, PHP is the engine of the internet. Yet, in the blockchain world, it has been largely ignored.

We built phpcoin to change that.

The Vision: Blockchain for the Web

We believe that mass adoption of blockchain technology won't come from a new fancy language. It will come from empowering the millions of developers who already build the web.

Imagine writing a Smart Contract the same way you write a PHP class.

• No new syntax to learn.
• No complex compilation toolchains.
• Just code.

With phpcoin, if you can write:

class MyToken extends SmartContractBase {
    public function transfer($to, $amount) {
        // logic
    }
}

...then you are a blockchain developer.

Fairness by Design: ePoW

It's not just about the language. It's about the network.

Bitcoin and other Proof-of-Work chains have a tendency toward centralization. Massive ASIC farms dominate the hashrate, pushing out the hobbyist and the home miner.

phpcoin introduces ePoW (Elapsed Proof of Work).

Instead of grinding random numbers as fast as possible, our consensus mechanism incorporates time into the difficulty. The target difficulty adjusts every single second. This creates a "natural rhythm" to the blockchain that neutralizes the massive advantage of industrial mining pools.

It keeps the network decentralized, fair, and accessible.

Ready for Relaunch

We have spent the last few months hardening our core. We've audited our Smart Contract engine, secured our sandbox, and optimized our consensus.

We are preparing for a major relaunch of our Smart Contract capabilities on Mainnet.

If you are a PHP developer, this is your invitation. You don't need to learn a new language to build the future. You just need to use the skills you already have.

Welcome to phpcoin.
