RustChain

rustchain.orgCrypto & web3 consumer

RustChain is a decentralized physical infrastructure network (DePIN) that uses Proof of Antiquity consensus to reward owners of old computers. It verifies physical hardware through anti-emulation fingerprinting, giving higher mining multipliers to rarer and older machines such as PowerPC G4s, SPARCstations, and 486 laptops. The network includes a native token (RTC), wallets, a bridge, and an atlas of participating machines, turning e-waste into active network participants.
