Proof-of-Energy
Every Coin Has a Verifiable Energy Cost
The first Proof-of-Energy cryptocurrency — every miner pays the same estimated energy cost per coin, regardless of hardware. Mine WTC with any hardware. No ASIC advantage, no mining pools, no luck variance.
↓ Download for WindowsInstall the Wattcoin Miner app on Windows. It generates a wallet for you automatically — no setup required.
Click "Start Mining" and your CPU, GPU, RAM, ASIC, or Server begins proving energy expenditure via Proof-of-Energy. You earn WTC proportionally to your contribution.
Every WTC you mine has a verifiable energy cost. Stake to earn rewards, or hold as the energy floor rises with each tier advance.
Proof-of-Energy replaces hash-based mining with verifiable energy expenditure. Instead of solving useless hash puzzles, your hardware runs benchmark-verified computation tasks — CPU integer hashing, GPU pixel shading, and memory stride walks — while the protocol estimates the electrical energy consumed using your hardware's known power draw and duty cycle.
Every miner, regardless of hardware type, pays the same estimated energy cost per coin. A CPU miner and a GPU miner both spend approximately 20 kWh to earn one WTC in Tier 1. Hardware determines how fast you mine, not how cheaply. Block rewards are split proportionally by energy contribution — every miner gets paid every block, no lottery, no mining pools.
The energy floor doubles with each tier advance. When Tier 2 begins, every existing WTC's minimum energy cost rises to 40 kWh, permanently increasing the rational floor for all coins in circulation. This tier ratchet is enforced by the protocol and cannot be changed by governance.
Wattcoin replaces hash-based mining with Proof-of-Energy consensus. Every coin has a verifiable, non-negotiable energy cost that doubles with each tier, permanently raising the minimum value of all coins.
A CPU miner and a GPU miner both pay the same estimated 20 kWh per WTC in Tier 1. Hardware determines speed, not cost. No ASIC advantage.
The energy cost per coin doubles every tier. When Tier 2 starts, every existing WTC's floor doubles too — permanently raising all coins' minimum value.
Fixed supply of 21,000,000 WTC across 21 tiers. The hard cap is an immutable protocol constant that governance cannot change.
The network will be backed by a 60 kW Vortex Gravity Hydro Turbine in Estonia. Vortex NFT holders share turbine electricity revenue.
Vortex NFT holders control protocol upgrades and a 300,000 WTC treasury through on-chain voting. No foundation gate, no central authority.
Every miner gets paid every block. Block rewards split proportionally by verified energy — no lottery, no pool fees, no empty rounds.
Lock WTC to earn passive rewards from a dedicated 166,667 WTC pool. The more WTC staked network-wide, the higher the APY for everyone.
Wattcoin is the first Proof-of-Energy cryptocurrency. Every coin minted has a verifiable, non-negotiable energy cost. Unlike Bitcoin or Ethereum, Wattcoin replaces hash-based mining with software energy metering — your CPU, GPU and RAM estimates electrical energy expenditure through hardware performance metrics, and you are rewarded proportionally. 21 million total supply across 21 mining tiers.
Download the Wattcoin Miner app for Windows, install it, and click "Start Mining". The app generates a wallet automatically. No configuration, no pools, no setup required. Every miner pays the same estimated energy cost per coin regardless of hardware.
Any CPU, GPU, or RAM works. Unlike Bitcoin, there is no ASIC advantage — hardware determines how fast you mine, not how cheaply. A CPU miner and GPU miner both spend the same estimated 20 kWh per WTC in Tier 1.
Yes. Use the web wallet to buy WTC with USDC, or buy directly through the Wattcoin Miner app. There is an ongoing public sale of 333,333 WTC. You can also stake existing WTC to earn rewards.

Proof-of-Energy is a new consensus mechanism that replaces hash-based mining with verifiable energy expenditure. Instead of solving useless hash puzzles, hardware runs benchmark-verified tasks while the protocol estimates energy consumption from known power draw and duty cycle. Every miner pays the same estimated energy per coin, regardless of hardware.
Wattcoin has 21 mining tiers of 1,000,000 coins each. In Tier 1, one WTC costs approximately 20 kWh to mine. Each subsequent tier doubles the energy requirement: Tier 2 costs 40 kWh per coin, Tier 3 costs 80 kWh, and so on. This tier ratchet permanently raises the energy floor for all coins — including those already mined.
Vortex NFTs are a collection of 60 on-chain tokens tied to the 60 kW Vortex Gravity Hydro Turbine. Each NFT represents a permanent profit-share in the turbine's electricity revenue. Gold tier (5 shares), Silver (3 shares), and Bronze (1 share). Owning a Vortex NFT also grants on-chain governance voting power proportional to your share count.
Lock your WTC in the staking contract to earn passive rewards from a dedicated 166,667 WTC rewards pool. The more WTC staked network-wide, the higher the APY for everyone — every 10,000 WTC staked adds 1% APY. Unstake anytime with no penalty. Rewards are distributed proportionally by staked share.
