Next-Generation DNS-Free Blockchain
True Decentralization • Zero Dependencies • Built to Last Forever
Irium is a revolutionary proof-of-work blockchain engineered for maximum independence and survivability. Unlike traditional blockchains that rely on DNS infrastructure and centralized services, Irium operates with zero external dependencies.
Launched on January 5, 2026 with a fully mined genesis block at Bitcoin-standard difficulty, Irium is designed to outlast any infrastructure collapse and maintain network consensus even in the most hostile environments.

Revolutionary features built into the protocol
No DNS dependencies. Network bootstraps from signed IP lists and checkpoints. Works anywhere, forever.
Network automatically discovers and promotes reliable nodes. Uptime proofs ensure only quality peers survive.
3.5M IRM locked with on-chain timelocks. Transparent, consensus-enforced, irreversible. No trust needed.
Transaction relays earn 10% of fees. Incentivizes fast propagation without supply inflation.
Proof-of-work handshake prevents botnet attacks. Only legitimate nodes can connect.
Signed chain anchors protect against eclipse attacks. New nodes verify against trusted checkpoints.
SPV + NiPoPoW support from genesis. Mobile wallets with header-only sync and logarithmic proofs.
Timestamp any document on the blockchain. Immutable proof of existence for any data.
