Dahba · DAH

Fast money. Private when you want it.

A proof-of-work coin with a block every tenth of a second and optional private payments.

In development. There is no public network and no coin to buy yet.

A block every 0.1 seconds

Dahba runs the GHOSTDAG block DAG, the consensus Kaspa uses. On a test network a payment reaches the receiver 0.2 seconds after it is sent.

Dahba: 0.1 seconds
Kaspa: 0.1 seconds
Zcash: 75 seconds
Monero: 2 minutes
Bitcoin: 10 minutes

Time between blocks.

Two balances in every wallet

You choose per payment. Money moves between the two balances whenever you like.

Public

Visible on the chain, like Bitcoin. Good for mining, exchanges and anything that should be checkable by everyone.

Private

The sender, the receiver and the amount are hidden. A private payment takes about a second to prepare and then moves as fast as a public one.

Private payments use Orchard, the zero-knowledge system built for Zcash. It needs no trusted setup.

21 billion DAH, all of it mined

Proof of work. The first block pays nobody. Every coin comes from a block reward, which anyone can check on the chain.

Supply: 21 billion DAH
Reward at the start: 448 DAH a second
Halving: Every year, in monthly steps
Premine: None
Presale: None

Built on code that already works

Nothing cryptographic is invented here. The node is a fork of rusty-kaspa, the Kaspa node. The private side uses the orchard library from the Zcash developers. The chain can check zero-knowledge proofs in its scripts, which leaves room for apps on top.

Dahba is being built. This is where it stands.
