How to verify there was no premine in Malairte

How to Verify There Was No Premine

A step-by-step walk-through of checking the early chain, comparing supply against mined blocks, and confirming for yourself that Malairte had no premine.

You do not have to take a fair-launch claim on faith. The whole point of an open chain is that you can confirm it. This walk-through shows how to satisfy yourself that Malairte had no premine, using publicly available tools and a little patience. None of it requires special access.

Step 1: Get the genesis block

Locate the genesis block in the node source or through a block explorer. Confirm it carries no large pre-loaded balance to founder addresses. A clean genesis is the first sign of a fair start.

Step 2: Read the early blocks

Inspect the first several hundred blocks after genesis. In a fair launch, each block pays only the standard block reward to whoever mined it. Look for any single early address receiving an unusually large balance unrelated to ordinary block rewards. Its absence is what you want to see.

Step 3: Compare circulating supply to mined blocks

Multiply the number of mined blocks by the block reward (accounting for any halvings in the schedule). The result should closely match the reported circulating supply. If circulating supply is far higher than mining alone would explain, that gap points to a premine. For Malairte, the numbers should reconcile to mined emission.

Step 4: Read the project documentation

Search the official materials for the words allocation, premine, treasury, founder reward, private sale, or ICO. A fair-launch project states plainly that none of these exist. Conflicting or vague language is a reason to dig deeper.

Step 5: Cross-check with the open source

Because Malairte is open source, the emission rules are in the code. Confirm there is no special minting path that credits coins outside of block rewards. The schedule should be the only source of new supply.

Step 6: Repeat with a second tool

Do not rely on a single explorer or node. Confirm the same facts using an independent source where possible. Agreement across independent tools is what turns a claim into a verified fact.

What a pass looks like

If the genesis is clean, the early blocks pay only standard rewards, circulating supply matches mined emission, the docs disclaim any allocation, and the code has no side-channel mint, you have verified the no-premine claim yourself. That is the standard a fair launch should meet.

Frequently asked questions

Did Malairte have a premine or founder allocation?

No. Malairte launched with no premine, no ICO, no private sale, and no coins set aside for founders, advisors, or a treasury. Every MLRT in existence was mined on open hardware starting from the public genesis block. You do not have to take this on trust - the genesis block and the early chain are public, so anyone running a node can verify that no large balances were created before mining began.

What exactly is a fair launch?

A fair launch is a way of starting a cryptocurrency so that nobody gets a hidden head start. There is no premine, no ICO, no private sale, and no founder or team allocation. From the public genesis block onward, every coin is produced the same way: by mining on hardware anyone can run. Malairte launched this way. The term describes the origin and process of the coin, not its value or any expected outcome. It is a statement about how coins entered circulation, which you can verify on the chain rather than something you have to take on trust.

Did Malairte have a premine?

No. Malairte had no premine. No coins were created before the public could mine, and no large balances were credited to founder or team addresses in the genesis block. Every MLRT in existence traces back through an unbroken chain of mined blocks to a clean public genesis. You do not have to take this on faith. You can inspect the genesis block, read the early blocks, and reconcile circulating supply against the number of mined blocks to confirm it yourself. The verification how-to guides in this pillar walk through each step so the claim rests on the public record.
