Our Mission
Make digital value move as simply as messages—fast, affordable, and accessible—so anyone can participate in the global economy.
Payments-first
Everyday usability
We focus on real-world payments, not just speculation.
Global-ready
Low fees
Designed to scale across borders with predictable fees.
Open
Builders welcome
APIs and docs that help developers ship quickly and safely.
What We Do
GainGerms is a cryptocurrency project aiming to support very high transaction throughput for daily commerce. While many blockchains are better suited to long-term settlement or investment use cases, our north star is practical, retail-grade payments.
- High-level architecture: scalable consensus + optimized execution to target high throughput and low latency.
- Developer platform: simple SDKs, REST/WebSocket APIs, testnet faucets, and sandbox accounts.
- Compliance-aware: optional KYC/AML controls for regulated partners, privacy-by-design for end users.
Our Story
Concept
We started with a simple question: what would it take for crypto payments to feel instant and inexpensive—like tapping a card?
Early Prototype
Built a prototype focused on transaction batching and parallelized validation to explore throughput gains.
Testnet
Launched an internal testnet and payment SDKs for early developers; added observability and safety rails.
Next
Expand pilot programs with merchants, wallets, and integrators. Publish open documentation and a formal security review.
Our Values
Security first
We ship with audits, monitoring, least-privileged access, and clearly documented threat models.
User trust
Clear language, transparent fees, and controls for your data. No dark patterns.
Pragmatism
We favor simple architectures that are easier to reason about and scale.
Safety, Privacy & Compliance
- Privacy: Minimal data collection; see our Privacy Policy.
- Compliance: Risk-based controls; KYC may be required for certain actions or partners.
- Abuse prevention: Rate limits, anti-spam heuristics, and deferred payouts to reduce fraud.
- Security: Encryption in transit and at rest where applicable; routine backup and recovery drills.
- Bug bounty: Responsible disclosure welcome at security@gaingerms.com.
Economics (High Level)
Our public documentation will detail supply, issuance, and distribution schedules. Today, 10% of total supply is allocated to a nonprofit focused on infrastructure and ecosystem health. Additional allocations (team, community, reserves) will be disclosed with the whitepaper.
Utility
Network fees, staking incentives (where applicable), and ecosystem payments.
Governance (future)
We intend to explore community participation mechanisms. Details forthcoming.
Transparency
Addresses and treasury reporting to be published with the mainnet roadmap.
