TIMBRE
Timbre is a fair-launch proof-of-work cryptocurrency secured by RandomX and mined with the CPUs people already own. No premine, no ICO, no developer allocation — the supply is fixed and public, and every coin is produced by mining.
You can fake a picture, and you can fake a name. A timbre is harder: it is the exact shade of a sound — the part no filter can add and no copy can borrow. A struck fork rings true or it does not, and every listener can tell the difference.
Timbre applies the same law to money: no scarce early share, no secret allocation, no early window. Every coin is produced by mining, the supply is fixed and public, and the network earns its sound the slow, honest way — audibly, in the open ledger.
The team mines under the same conditions as everyone else. Nothing was created before the network existed.
No tokens were sold, reserved or auctioned. There was never a price to pay for early access.
All code is published on GitHub under the MIT license and is open to inspection and contribution.
The reward halves every 800,000 blocks and the final era is paid out in full, giving a hard cap of exactly 23,250,000 TMB.
| Era | Blocks | Reward | Minted |
|---|---|---|---|
| Era 1 | 0 – 799,999 | 15.0 TMB | 12,000,000 TMB |
| Era 2 | 800,000 – 1,599,999 | 7.5 TMB | 6,000,000 TMB |
| Era 3 | 1,600,000 – 2,399,999 | 3.75 TMB | 3,000,000 TMB |
| Era 4 | 2,400,000 – 3,199,999 | 1.875 TMB | 1,500,000 TMB |
| Era 5 | 3,200,000 – 3,999,999 | 0.9375 TMB | 750,000 TMB |
A slow, steady decay over roughly fourteen years. The full schedule is verifiable on the block explorer.
Ordinary desktop CPUs are the target hardware. RandomX is memory-hard, so GPUs and ASICs have no meaningful advantage — the barrier to entry stays low on purpose.
