About

What is Palladium?

A Bitcoin fork built for speed, without sacrificing security.

Palladium inherits Bitcoin's cryptographic foundation — SHA-256 proof-of-work, a fixed supply, and a predictable halving schedule — while cutting block time from 10 minutes to 2. The result is a chain that is faster to confirm, easier to mine, and free from central control.

Why Palladium

Built for speed and security

Battle-tested security

Inherits Bitcoin's SHA-256 proof-of-work — the most attacked, most resilient consensus algorithm in crypto.

5x faster blocks

2-minute block times instead of Bitcoin's 10 — faster confirmations without changing the security model.

ASIC compatible

Same algorithm as Bitcoin means existing SHA-256 ASICs can mine Palladium with zero new hardware.

Fixed, predictable supply

Capped at 21,000,000 PLM with a halving every 210,000 blocks — no inflation, no surprises.

Solo mining pool

Poolladium, built on ckpool, pays block rewards directly to your address — no pooled fees, no middlemen.

100% open source

Every component — core, wallet, pool, explorer — is public and auditable on GitHub.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Palladium is a Bitcoin fork that keeps the same SHA-256 proof-of-work security and 21M fixed supply, but cuts block time from 10 minutes to 2 — meaning faster confirmations and a tighter halving cadence, without giving up decentralization.
Yes. Palladium uses the exact same SHA-256 algorithm as Bitcoin, so any SHA-256 ASIC can point at Poolladium and start mining immediately — no new hardware required.
No. PalladiumWallet is a lightweight SPV wallet that syncs in minutes and is perfect for everyday transactions. Run PalladiumCore only if you want to mine, validate the chain yourself, or contribute to network security.
Poolladium runs on ckpool in solo mode: you connect your miner via stratum, and any block you find pays its full coinbase reward directly to your own address — no pool fees, no reward splitting.
Completely. PalladiumCore, PalladiumWallet, the explorer, and the pool infrastructure are all public on GitHub, so anyone can audit the code or contribute.
