A vine does not hold itself up. It climbs because a frame was built, planted and tensioned before the first shoot went into the ground. Trellis (TRL) is a proof-of-work network built the same way: the rules were fixed in public source code before block zero, and every miner since climbs the same frame.
Emission, block interval, halving rhythm and the difficulty rule are constants in code — not promises in a document. Nothing was decided after genesis.
Zero coins before block zero. No dev fee, no treasury, no allocation. The first coin belongs to the first miner who fits a valid block.
RandomX is memory-heavy and rebuilds its internal work at every block, so specialized machines hold no lasting edge over an ordinary desktop CPU.
| Consensus | RandomX proof-of-work (CPU-oriented) |
| Block interval | 216 seconds |
| Blocks per day | 86,400 / 216 = 400 |
| Stage-1 reward | 21 TRL (8,400 TRL per day network-wide) |
| Halving interval | 620,000 blocks (~4.25 years) |
| Supply cap | 2 × 21 × 620,000 = 26,040,000 TRL |
| Launch supply | 0 TRL — coins exist only when mined |
| Dev fee | none |
| Address prefix | T |
| P2P / RPC ports | 18940 / 18941 |
The trellis is the part of the garden that does not grow. It is measured, cut and braced while the ground is still empty, and its whole job is to stay exactly where it was put while everything else climbs. The chain keeps the same division of labor: the protocol is the frame — fixed, public, verifiable — and the miners are the vine, doing all the growing block by block within it.
1. Download the wallet from the downloads page and verify the SHA-256 checksum printed beside the file.
2. Run the node and let it sync from genesis.
3. Point any RandomX miner at your local node with a T-prefixed address — the mining guide walks through it.
