Rethinking
The Blockchain
Warthog's decentralized network empowers individuals with fair, balanced, and synergized CPU/GPU work. It secures hardcoded DeFi and token technologies, eliminating the risks of smart contracts. Our goal is a safer, more efficient blockchain, aligned with the original vision of cryptocurrency: "one CPU, one vote."

What makes us unique?
What makes us unique?
We engineered Warthog as a fair-launch blockchain with no shortcuts: no premine, no hidden team wallets, and a modern PoBW engine that anyone with a browser can join.
Tokenomics
0%
Nothing minted or reserved for insiders—100% of WART is discoverable through public mining.
- Zero pre-mine and no hidden allocations

Tech
Revolutionary features
Browser-native nodes, smarter sync, and a consensus algorithm that values balanced work— Warthog is engineering the tools a modern decentralized network actually needs.
Chain descriptor sync
Warthog’s sync model is built on a thread-based engine that addresses blocks by “chain descriptors” — height plus branch identifier, rather than the block hash used by most chains. Nodes can describe entire branches as compact sequences and reconcile their views in a single round-trip, which dramatically cuts bandwidth and CPU compared to block-by-block sync. Result: even a phone on a slow connection can fully verify the chain without re-downloading what it already has.
Proof of Balanced Work
Warthog’s Janushash is the first production Proof of Balanced Work algorithm: it multiplies two independent hash functions — Sha256t (GPU) and Verushash v2.2 (CPU) — so efficient mining requires solving both. This makes pure GPU farms uncompetitive (their CPUs bottleneck) and pure CPU farms or botnets uncompetitive (no accelerated Sha256t). The result is a network where typical gaming PCs can hold their own against large operations, edging closer to Satoshi’s original “one CPU, one vote” vision.
In-browser full nodes
Warthog is the first cryptocurrency project to ship a full node that runs entirely in the browser. The native C++ node is compiled to WebAssembly, and the entire chain database (~1.3 GB) is persisted in the browser’s Origin Private File System (OPFS) as a SQLite file. Close the tab, reopen it tomorrow — your node is still synced, still validating, still part of the network. No installation, no firewall configuration, no chain wipe on every refresh.
Upcoming P2P browser nodes
Today browser nodes connect through bridge nodes via WebSocket. The next step is direct browser-to-browser communication over WebRTC, with a signaling protocol for peer discovery, NAT traversal for punching through firewalls, and handshake negotiation for connection parameters. When P2P is live, two tabs in the same room can sync the chain between each other without a server in the middle — turning every browser into a first-class network peer and removing the centralizing dependency on bridge nodes.
Upcoming Hard-coded DeFi
Instead of running DeFi as second-layer smart contracts on top of an insecure base chain, Warthog embeds the DeFi primitives directly into the consensus layer. Every node runs the same battle-tested matching and accounting code, so a “bug” in DeFi logic is automatically a consensus failure — not a 51% exploit opportunity. No upgradeable proxies, no rug-pull admin keys, no token-approval footguns. Just code that the whole network already agrees on.
Upcoming Anti-sandwich matching
Sandwich attacks work because traditional exchanges process orders one at a time and a front-runner can see the mempool. Fair Batch Matching (FBM) eliminates the attack surface entirely: all limit swaps and pool liquidity in a block are evaluated jointly, and the algorithm finds a single fair price that all participants share. Every buyer pays the same price, every seller receives the same price, and there is no remaining buy/sell pair that could have been matched against the pool. The math proves the matching is unique (a Nash equilibrium) — ordering no longer leaks alpha because ordering no longer matters.

Whitepaper & Research
Warthog's whitepaper and research papers represent genuine scientific breakthroughs in cryptocurrency, grounded in rigorous mathematical foundations. The core development team holds advanced degrees in mathematics, statistics, and computer science from top-tier universities.
Whitepaper
The complete Warthog Network whitepaper — covers the project's vision, architecture, mining (Janushash/PoBW), DeFi (Fair Batch Matching), tokenomics, and roadmap. Auto-built on every commit to the build branch, always up to date.
Proof of Balanced Work
PoBW introduces a novel cryptographic mining paradigm that combines multiple hash functions multiplicatively. This innovation enables hybrid mining algorithms requiring both CPU and GPU capabilities simultaneously, providing strong ASIC-resistance and promoting energy-efficient mining through balanced hardware configurations.
Fair Batch Matching
FBM is a groundbreaking DeFi matching algorithm that eliminates sandwich attacks and MEV extraction by processing all swap orders jointly within a block. Every participant receives identical pricing regardless of transaction sequence, establishing a Nash equilibrium where manipulation becomes mathematically impossible.
