Mining began in September 2019 with no ICO or premine, using three algorithms for CPUs, GPUs and ASICs. ## Network and consensus | Parameter | Details | |---|---| | Type | Own Mimblewimble blockchain. | | Consensus | Proof of work with three algorithms: RandomX (CPU) 48%, ProgPow (GPU) 48%, Cuckatoo31+ (ASIC) 4%. | | Block time | About 60 seconds on average (explorer, 1 November 2026). | | Launched | Mining began in September 2019 with zero supply. | | Privacy | Transactions are private by default through Mimblewimble. | | Scaling | Mimblewimble cut-through removes spent data to keep the chain small. | ## Supply and issuance | Parameter | Details | |---|---| | Maximum supply | 21 million EPIC. | | Initial distribution | No ICO, no premine, no venture capital; every coin was mined. | | Issuance | 2 EPIC per block (explorer, 1 November 2026). | On 1 November 2026: 19,479,016 EPIC in circulation (source: [Epic Cash explorer (explorer.epiccash.com)](https://explorer.epiccash.com/)). ## What EPIC is used for - EPIC is the native coin of the Epic Cash chain, used for private peer-to-peer payments. - Miners earn EPIC with CPUs, GPUs or ASICs. ## Who develops and governs Epic Cash - **Governance**: Epic Cash describes itself as a DAO acting through trusts set up for development and legal matters. - **Open source**: Node code on GitHub (EpicCash/epic) under the Apache-2.0 license. - **Developer**: Releases are published on GitHub; v4.1.1 on 20 October 2026. - **Company**: The project says no company is in control. ## History | Date | Event | |---|---| | September 2019 | Mining of EPIC begins with zero supply. | | February 2025 | Ethernity Chain announces a rebrand to Epic Chain, which also uses the ticker EPIC; Epic Cash later publishes a legal notice against it. | | 20 October 2026 | Node release v4.1.1 is published on GitHub. | ## Security and audits - Epic Cash says a 51% attack would need 51% of the hashrate of each of its three algorithms, not only of the total hashrate. - A quantum-resistant algorithm, Crystals-Dilithium, runs in testnet according to the project. ## Security incidents No security incident is recorded in the sources checked on 1 November 2026 (the company’s own channels and incident databases): [defillama.com/hacks](https://defillama.com/hacks), [hacked.slowmist.io](https://hacked.slowmist.io/), [rekt.news/leaderboard](https://rekt.news/leaderboard/), [epiccash.com/articles](https://epiccash.com/articles), [github.com/EpicCash/epic/releases](https://github.com/EpicCash/epic/releases) ## Risks and caveats - Another project, Epic Chain (formerly Ethernity Chain), trades under the same ticker EPIC. - The share of mining per algorithm can be changed during operation, according to the project. - Epic Cash is a small proof-of-work chain; the project itself names 51% attacks as the threat its three-algorithm design addresses. ## Official links - Website: [epiccash.com](https://epiccash.com/) - Source code: [github.com/EpicCash/epic](https://github.com/EpicCash/epic) - Block explorer: [explorer.epiccash.com](https://explorer.epiccash.com/) - Docs: [epiccash.com/help-center](https://epiccash.com/help-center) - Whitepaper: [epiccash.com/white-paper-epic-cash-a-peer-to-peer-electronic-cash-system](https://epiccash.com/white-paper-epic-cash-a-peer-to-peer-electronic-cash-system/) ## Questions and answers **What is Epic Cash?** Epic Cash (EPIC) is a Mimblewimble-based proof-of-work privacy coin with a fixed supply of 21 million coins; mining began in September 2019. **What is the maximum supply of Epic Cash?** 21 million EPIC.
