What is Bezant
First steps for anyone arriving on Bezant. Three minutes of reading covers the whole picture.
- What is Bezant?→A private, fair-launch, 100% Proof of Work blockchain. Node, wallet and miner converge into one experience.
- Network status→Honest state of the Bezant Devnet on this machine. No fake telemetry.
- Bezant App overviewPlanned→What the converged desktop application bundles, and what each module does for you.
- Devnet warnings→Devnet has no real value. Do not send mainnet seeds, mainnet hardware wallets, or production credentials.
Protocol
How Bezant works at the consensus layer
The protocol-level commitments that hold across every release.
- Whitepaper (Draft v0.1)→Vision, monetary policy, mining policy, privacy model, status.
- Monetary policy→21 M BZT max supply, 60 s block time, halving curve, no premine, no dev tax.
- Mining policy→Target balance 40 % CPU RandomX, 55 % GPU ProgPow, 5 % Heavy. Devnet validates CPU and GPU first.
- Privacy model→Confidential amounts. No addresses as first-class objects. Tor v3 receive routes.
- Security model→Non-custodial wallets, Argon2id seed encryption, no remote service holds your keys.
Wallet & app
Your seed. Your machine. No exception.
Bezant App ships the wallet, the node, the miner and all the desktop tools as a single installer.
- Wallet overview→Non-custodial wallet, exact-amount send and Send Max sweep.
- Send Max / Sweep→Send everything you hold without leaving dust in the wallet. Fees are deducted from the amount.
- Receive routes→Tor v3 hidden service, HTTPS endpoint, file slate exchange.
- Bezant AppPlanned→Node + wallet + miner + Mining Hub + Pool Hub + local explorer in one window.
- API keys & merchantPlanned→Scoped API keys for plugins and merchants - issued by Bezant App, never by a third party.
Mining
Mine solo. Join a pool. Run a pool.
Multi-algorithm Proof of Work. Network fees go to miners and pools, never to the project.
- Mine solo→Your node, your CPU or GPU, your reward.
- Join a pool→Pool operators are independent. Bezant App will list pools that publish a contact.
- Create a pool→Run a Bezant Stratum endpoint and accept connections.
- Mining HubPlanned→Find pools, fees and reliability inside the desktop app.
- Zero-fee pool concept→Pools can charge 0% by design. The protocol does not require any cut.
Builders
Build on Bezant
SDKs, plugins, merchant tooling. Plugins never hold funds; API keys are scoped and revocable.
- Developers landing→Console, TUI, REST API, port layout.
- SDKsPlanned→Typed bindings for the local REST API.
- WooCommerce pluginPlanned→Accept BZT on any WordPress shop. Plugin holds no funds.
- Merchant APIPlanned→Issue scoped API keys from Bezant App; let your backend call the local REST API.
- WebhooksPlanned→Push notifications when a receive address gets a confirmed credit.
- Optional public access (Cloudflare)Planned→Expose your Bezant App API publicly with Cloudflare Tunnel - entirely opt-in.
- Freemen Pay integrationFuture→Bezant runs without Freemen Pay; integration is planned, not required.
Commerce - future
A commerce layer built for sellers and buyers
A long-term direction. Not the MVP. Listed so the project's intent is public from day one.
- Commerce overview→Seller stores, product catalog, escrow, shipping integrations, fiat rails.
- BZT direct paymentsFuture→Pay with BZT directly. Zero platform fee on the protocol layer.
- Protected escrow paymentsFuture→Optional escrow with delivery confirmation. Transparent service fee.
- Shipping integrationsFuture→FedEx, UPS, postal carriers, aggregators. Label printing, tracking.
- Fiat rails (Stripe / Wise)Future→Optional managed bridges between fiat and BZT. Explicit fee.
