Clear project scope
Start with the protocol page if you want the high-level explanation before using any public service.
Independent blockchain protocol project
Chipcoin is an independent blockchain protocol project.
Chipcoin currently exposes a live public testnet with a full node, external miner, browser wallet, snapshot bootstrap path, explorer, and a native on-chain Node Rewards system for verified nodes. Chipcoin's core public claim is that it is building the first native decentralized PoW protocol that also pays verified nodes, not only miners.
Native protocol novelty
Chipcoin keeps PoW mining, but also pays verified nodes through deterministic on-chain registration, renewal, attestation, and settlement.
Faster node startup
Trusted snapshot import reduces bootstrap time for new public-network nodes and recovery paths.
Technical reference
The docs page summarizes the current public services and operational boundaries.
What Chipcoin Is
A protocol project with a narrow and understandable public surface.
Chipcoin is a protocol project with a live testnet stack, not a placeholder shell. The public site should describe what is already running and how the visible services fit together.
The current live state includes a full node, external miner, browser wallet, snapshot bootstrap, explorer access, and a native Node Rewards system that is operating on the public testnet.
What Is Live Now
The current public testnet is broader and more concrete than a simple wallet demo.
The public site should reflect the real stack that is already live today, especially the reward-node system and the faster node bootstrap path.

Chrome and Firefox installation guidance lives on its own page so setup steps stay separate from the wallet overview.

Use the wallet overview if your next step is creating a wallet and preparing an address for faucet testing.
Go to WalletInstall the extension
Go straight to the browser wallet page if you already know you want the Chrome or Firefox extension instructions.
Install Browser WalletRequest test coins
Use the faucet after you have a valid CHC address and want to test receiving and transaction visibility on testnet.
Go to FaucetInspect activity
Use the explorer after wallet or faucet actions to confirm that the visible public data matches your test flow.
Open ExplorerRead technical notes
