Why Dilithion?

🔐

Quantum-Resistant

Uses CRYSTALS-Dilithium, a NIST-standardized post-quantum signature scheme. Your coins are safe from quantum computers.

⚡

Fast & Efficient

4-minute block time optimized for large post-quantum signatures. 2.5x faster confirmations than Bitcoin.

🎯

Fair Launch

No premine, no ICO, no VC allocation. 100% proof-of-work. Everyone starts equal on January 1, 2026.

💻

CPU Mining

RandomX proof-of-work keeps mining accessible. No expensive ASICs required—mine with your CPU.

📊

Bitcoin Supply Model

21 million DIL total supply. Block reward halving every 210,000 blocks. Predictable, deflationary economics.

🌐

Decentralized

Fully peer-to-peer network. No central authority, no master nodes, no staking. Pure proof-of-work.

Getting Started

1

Download the Software

Download the Dilithion node software for your platform. Available for Windows, Linux, and macOS.

Go to Downloads
2

Generate Genesis Block

Before the network launches, generate the genesis block:

./genesis_gen

This creates genesis.dat which will be used by all nodes.

3

Start Your Node

Launch the Dilithion node to join the network:

./dilithion-node

Your node will connect to peers and sync the blockchain.

4

Create a Wallet

Create a new wallet to receive mining rewards:

./dilithion-cli createwallet "my_wallet"
5

Start Mining

Begin mining Dilithion with your CPU:

./dilithion-cli setgenerate true 4

The number (4) sets how many CPU threads to use for mining.

Mining Tips

  • CPU Threads: Use 50-75% of your CPU cores for optimal performance
  • Expected Hash Rate: ~66 H/s per CPU core (Intel i5/i7)
  • Power Usage: RandomX is CPU-intensive but ASIC-resistant
  • Fair Launch: Everyone starts mining at the same time—no advantage to early miners
