GPU and ASIC mining across four algorithms, masternode governance, Sapling-shielded transactions, and an AI inference marketplace — all secured by the Hivemind protocol.
Kerrigan is a hybrid cryptocurrency built for GPU miners who believe in decentralization and financial privacy. Four mining algorithms across GPU and ASIC hardware ensure no single device dominates the network.
Masternodes secure the network and power on-chain governance. Sapling shielded transactions give you zero-knowledge proof privacy. Your transactions stay between you and the chain.
A 5-way coinbase split funds miners, masternodes, development, founders, and an AI marketplace. The goal: a decentralized GPU availability network where miners earn KRGN for AI inference work.
Four mining algorithms across GPU and ASIC hardware. KawPoW and Equihash 192,7 for GPU miners. X11 and Equihash 200,9 for ASICs. Whatever hardware you bring, you're mining the same chain.
zk-SNARK shielded transactions via Sapling protocol. Send and receive KRGN with full zero-knowledge proof privacy. Live on mainnet. Your balance and transaction history stay yours.
Collateralized masternodes secure the network and vote on governance while earning 20% of the block reward. Lock 10,000 KRGN and run a node to earn passive income. Instant-transaction locking and ChainLocks come with the network upgrade.
Currently, 40% of block rewards are burned every block — a deflationary bootstrap phase. In V2, that 40% shifts to GPU inference providers who earn block rewards plus pay-per-API-call in KRGN. Private AI compute you pay for directly in KRGN — no account, no broker taking a cut.
Kerrigan uses four proof-of-work algorithms. Each targets 480-second blocks individually, giving a combined 120-second network block time.
| Algorithm | Type | Hardware | VRAM | Recommended Miners |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| X11 | 11-algo hash chain | ASIC | N/A | cgminer, Antminer |
| KawPoW | ProgPoW 0.9.4 | GPU | 4GB+ | T-Rex, TeamRedMiner |
| Equihash 200,9 | Memory-hard | ASIC | N/A | Z9/Z11/Z15, miniZ |
| Equihash 192,7 | Memory-hard | GPU | 2GB+ | miniZ, lolMiner |
KawPoW and Equihash 192,7 are GPU-only. Mine with the cards you already own. In V2, those same GPUs earn both block rewards and per-call payments for AI inference.
X11 and Equihash 200,9 welcome dedicated hardware. Two GPU algorithms and two for ASICs, so dedicated rigs have a place here too.
Point your GPUs at the Kerrigan inference network and earn two ways: block rewards from the 40% coinbase share, plus pay-per-API-call from users paying KRGN for compute.
Use large language models on an open, private platform. Pay per call in KRGN — no account to create, and nothing harvesting your prompts.
Select your hardware to estimate daily and monthly mining earnings across all supported algorithms.
Sapling shielded transactions with incremental Merkle trees, ZIP 243 sighash, and a Rust/CXX FFI bridge. Every KRGN transfer can be shielded end-to-end with zero-knowledge proofs.
Per-algorithm difficulty adjustment keeps all four algos balanced, while threshold co-signing by active miners creates cryptographic block finality. 51% attacks become structurally infeasible. The network detects the absence of trusted participants on competing chains and rejects them regardless of proof-of-work length.
Every block reward is deterministically split five ways. The 40% share is currently burned every block — a deflationary bootstrap phase — and in V2 shifts to AI GPU inference participants. Enforced at the consensus layer.
Collateralized masternode network that provides on-chain governance plus the network services the chain depends on, with instant-transaction locking and ChainLocks coming in the network upgrade. 10,000 KRGN collateral. Operators earn 20% of every block reward and govern budget proposals through on-chain voting.
Collateralized full nodes that provide services to the network and earn a share of every block reward. Run a Masternode (10,000 KRGN) or upgrade to a BroodNode (40,000 KRGN) for 4× consensus weight.
Lock 10,000 KRGN for a Masternode or 40,000 KRGN for a BroodNode. Both earn from the 20% node portion of every block reward, with BroodNodes receiving 4× selection weight.
Node operators vote on network proposals and budget allocation. One node, one vote. Dev fund and AI marketplace disbursements are governed by the node network.
BroodNodes get 4× VRF selection in the Hivemind Protocol and earn for 4 consecutive rounds when selected. Larger collateral buys proportionally more consensus weight, and the rewards scale with it.

▸ Estimates based on current network conditions.
Block reward starts at 25 KRGN and halves every 1,051,200 blocks (~4 years at 120-second spacing). Maximum supply: 52,560,000 KRGN. During the bootstrap phase ~40% of every block is burned, so live circulating supply (~1.95M today) tracks below this emission curve.

| 1 | 0 – 1,051,199 | 25 KRGN | 26,280,000 | 2026–2030 |
