+# Monzero (XMZ) chain specification
+
+This document records the initial consensus and network parameters for the
+independent Monzero chain. Any change to a consensus value after public launch
+requires a coordinated network upgrade.
+
+## Monetary policy
+
+- Name: Monzero
+- Ticker: XMZ
+- Target primary emission: 100,000,000 XMZ
+- Atomic precision: 11 decimal places (1 XMZ = 100,000,000,000 atomic units)
+- Emission curve: Monero-style smooth emission, speed factor 20
+- Target block time: 120 seconds
+- Permanent tail emission: 3.26 XMZ per block
+- Hard-coded premine: none
+- Pre-release allocation: coins mined normally during the private bootstrap and
+  test period; the mined amount and addresses must be disclosed before launch
+
+Eleven decimal places is the greatest precision compatible with a
+100,000,000-coin primary emission and the core's unsigned 64-bit amount type.
+Twelve decimals would overflow that type.
+
+## Mainnet identity
+
+- Official website: `https://monzero.org` (project metadata; not consensus-critical)
+- P2P port: 6174
+- RPC port: 6175
+- ZMQ RPC port: 6176
+- Network UUID: `fc3291ba-8666-4b87-8ebb-d59b72d4fcaa`
+- Standard/integrated/subaddress prefixes: 86 / 87 / 88
+- Genesis nonce: 818137480
+- Genesis block hash: `3850cb9e2fb2ba3c680b24cee7574765acd6be1cc4d84a4360c7c53e83e3270d`
+- Default data directory: `.monzero`
+- Executables: `monzerod`, `monzero-wallet-cli`, `monzero-wallet-rpc`
+
+The complete protected mainnet, testnet, and stagenet vectors are available in
+the machine-readable `config/monzero-consensus.json` manifest. Compiled unit
+tests regenerate each genesis block and fail if monetary policy, address
+prefixes, ports, UUIDs, nonces, hashes, transaction version, or hard-fork
+schedule drift unexpectedly.
+
+## Bootstrap and launch policy
+
+Monzero does not embed a special premine transaction. The team may privately
+mine the initial blocks for network testing. Before public launch, publish:
+
+1. The UTC timestamp and block height at which public launch begins.
+2. Every address controlled by the team and its balance at that height.
+3. The total privately mined XMZ and its intended use.
+4. Stable seed-node hostnames or IP addresses.
+5. Reproducible release binaries and the corresponding source commit.
+
+The inherited protocol revisions activate over blocks 1 through 16. Public
+launch should occur only after block 16 so all public mining uses v16/RandomX.
+
+## Items intentionally pending
+
+- Public launch date and UTC time
+- Project domain
+- DNS and fixed-IP seed nodes
+- Public checkpoints created after the bootstrap period
+- Written allocation rationale and vesting/custody commitments
+- Independent consensus and cryptography review
