Vice &
Versa
Viceversachain introduces a novel dual-blockchain ecosystem built on a shared narrative of duality and interconnectedness. The project features two distinct cryptocurrencies, **Vice** and **Versa**, which operate on separate chains but originate from the same conceptual family. Vice functions as a traditional, forward-moving blockchain forked from Bitcoin Core 0.21, establishing a new genesis point far into the future. Versa, in contrast, pioneers a revolutionary "reverse chain" concept, with block heights that count down towards zero.
The ecosystem is composed of two chains, each with its own purpose and economic model, yet intrinsically linked by their shared starting point in the blockchain's timeline.
**The Vice Chain:** Represents stability, tradition, and forward momentum. It provides a familiar and robust foundation for the ecosystem.
**The Versa Chain:** Represents innovation, disruption, and a challenge to the status quo. It is an experimental venture into uncharted territory.
Vice is the firstborn of the ecosystem, designed to be a reliable and secure Proof-of-Work (PoW) cryptocurrency.
**Core Technology:** Forked from the Bitcoin Core 0.21 codebase, inheriting its security, stability, and battle-tested features.
**New Genesis:** Vice's defining feature is its unique starting point. The chain begins not at block 0, but at **block 51,840,000**. This establishes a new, predetermined genesis, from which the chain moves forward sequentially (51,840,001, 51,840,002, etc.).
**Emission & Reward Model:** Vice follows a deflationary "halving" model, similar to Bitcoin, but with an integrated reward distribution system to foster project growth and sustainability. The total block reward is 20 coins, which is halved every 1,050,000 blocks, creating a finite total supply of approximately **42,000,000 coins**.
**Miner Reward:** The primary portion of the block reward is allocated to miners who secure the network.
**Founder & Development Fund:** A percentage of the block reward is directed to dedicated addresses to fund the project's long-term development and strategic vision. This distribution is activated in phases:
* **Phase 1 (Launch):** A **1% Founder's reward** is active from day one .
* **Phase 2 (Post-Growth):** After the core team is fully assembled and the community is established, two additional addresses will be activated: a **5% Team reward** to incentivize our developers and a **4% Community reward** to fund grants, marketing, and ecosystem initiatives.
Versa is the revolutionary component of the project, engineered to do something unprecedented in the crypto space: move backward.
**Core Innovation:** The Versa chain begins at **block 51,839,999**—the block immediately preceding the Vice genesis—and generates blocks in descending order (51,839,998, 51,839,997, etc.) until it reaches block 0.
* **Emission Model:** Versa utilizes a capped "doubling" model. The reward begins at 0.15625 coins and doubles every 1,050,000 blocks for the first six doubling periods. Afterward, the reward becomes a fixed 0.6 coins per block for the remainder of the chain's lifespan, creating a finite total supply of approximately **37,400,000 coins**.
* **Technical Challenges:** We recognize the profound ambition of this endeavor. A reverse-logic blockchain requires a complete re-evaluation of how data is handled by essential infrastructure. The primary challenges include:
* **Exchanges:** Listing and trading systems are hard-coded for ascending block heights.
* **Explorers:** Block visualization tools must be re-engineered to display a descending chain.
* **Wallets:** Wallet software must be adapted to correctly interpret and validate reverse-chronological transactions.
