Today, we open the doors.
AVI Coin — the base layer of the AVI Network — is now live, mineable, and accessible to anyone with a GPU and a desire to help build a more aligned future.
This moment marks the quiet beginning of a century-long experiment in decentralization, responsibility, and shared value creation. It is the first brick in a much larger architecture: a network designed not simply to compute, but to uphold principles that make civilization resilient.
Our chain is now producing blocks. You can join it.
But joining AVI is different from simply downloading a miner. It means participating in the foundational epoch of something intentionally designed to stretch across generations.
Let me explain what we are building — and why this first phase matters so much.
Modern networks often grow fast, burn bright, and collapse under their own incentives. We’ve all lived through cycles of extractive tokenomics, unstable economics, and systems that reward speed over stewardship.
AVI Coin is deliberately different.
It’s a Proof-of-Work layer-1, GPU-mineable, slow and steady by design — a chain meant to reward consistency, resilience, and long-term participation. This isn’t just an asset; it is a foundation layer for an entire economic and computational ecosystem, one intended to support human-aligned intelligence, regenerative value flows, and the infrastructure for a new kind of digital civilization.
If you’ve read through the GitBook, you know our north star:
intelligence aligned with virtue, incentives aligned with stewardship, systems aligned with society.
AVI Coin is where that alignment begins.
We are now in what I call the Foundational Mining Epoch — the earliest stage of the 100-year emission arc.
This phase is unlike anything that will ever happen again in the life of the network.
Block rewards are active.
Mining difficulty is stabilizing.
Hashrate is still measured in people, not data centers.
And each block mined today becomes part of the permanent bedrock of AVI’s economic history.
This epoch exists to give early participants — the ones who care enough to show up before the noise — the ability to help bootstrap a network that will eventually support ARC Layer-2 computation, identity systems, regenerative economies, and AI-aligned protocols.
To put it plainly:
Mining AVI now is contributing to the creation of a new public good.
And it is work that matters.
AVI Coin follows a hybrid emission arc — combining halving with long exponential decay — stretching across roughly 100 years.
Only 100,000,000 AVI will ever exist.
Roughly 75 million will be mined over the full arc.
The remaining 25 million were pre-allocated for founders, ecosystem commitments, and future public-good infrastructure — all subject to strict cliff-then-linear vesting.
Early miners often expect chaos: wild supply spikes, aggressive inflation, unpredictable difficulty swings.
AVI intentionally avoids that pattern.
Our supply mechanics were built to create consistency and integrity — not hype.
Nothing about this chain is optimized for the short-term pump.
Everything is optimized for the long-term arc.
If that resonates with you, you’re in the right place.
Mining AVI Coin is intentionally simple:
Setup instructions, recommended hardware, and example configurations live in the GitBook. The miner downloads page is always available at:
If you’re mining, you’re already part of the story.
Launching a layer-1 blockchain is not about flipping a switch. It is about committing to a century-scale responsibility.
By mining AVI Coin, you are participating in the beginning of:
When I started designing AVI, I wasn’t interested in building yet another blockchain.
I wanted to design a foundation for a more principled future — something built slowly, intentionally, with no shortcuts and no compromises.
Seeing the first blocks of AVI Coin being mined… it feels like watching the first stones being laid for a cathedral we may never personally see completed.
And that’s the point.
Great systems are built by people who care more about the arc than the moment.
If you’re mining today, you’re one of them.
One alliance.
Once chain.
A long arc.
