01 / BITCOIN
One blockchain
Bitcoin remains the only blockchain and the only consensus foundation. No separate BITRUBIN chain, mining, or validator consensus.
A Bitcoin-based research project
BITRUBIN
A proposed digital monetary protocol. One blockchain: Bitcoin. Transparent rules. Independent verification.
Important notice: BITRUBIN is in the research and prototype phase and is not production-ready. Acceptance and relay of positive-value OP_RETURN outputs have not yet been demonstrated on Signet.

The core idea
Bitcoin as the only foundation.
BITRUBIN is designed to complement Bitcoin, not replace it with a second blockchain. BRBN and Pearls are intended to be derived from defined Bitcoin transactions and independently verifiable rules.
02 / VERIFICATION
Your own Bitcoin node
Participants are intended to verify Bitcoin data with their own Bitcoin Core full node. A second independently operated node provides an additional cross-check.
03 / RULES
BITRUBIN CORE
A deterministic verification and interpretation layer is intended to evaluate Bitcoin history and calculate protocol state from it.
Technical approach
No second blockchain.
Bitcoin determines which blocks and transactions belong to the valid Bitcoin chain. BITRUBIN CORE is intended to verify this data independently and apply the defined BRBN and Pearls rules. It does not replace Bitcoin consensus.
Proposed token rules
BRBN & Pearls
The BITRUBIN symbol is a complete ruby-red R with two horizontal bars. The BITPEARL symbol is a complete pearl-white P with two horizontal bars. Both use matching gold edging.
These figures describe the current project proposal. They do not mean that tokens have already been issued or are available.

BRBN and BPRL use 38 decimal places. 1 BTC = 1 BRBN and 1 satoshi = 1 Rubini are nominal unit definitions only. One Rubini equals 10^30 smallest BRBN units. BPRL requires valid BRBN issuance; the public BRBN target is divided into four epochs of 525,000 BRBN and the BPRL allocation rate halves at each successive epoch. Exact integer-rate and rounding rules must be finalized before activation. All calculations use deterministic integer arithmetic.
The unit definitions do not promise market value, backing, redemption, or convertibility.

Current development status
Research / prototype · Not production-readyA key next step is testing positive-value OP_RETURN outputs on Signet. The recipient rule, official start block, confirmation requirements, duplicate processing protection, and chain-reorganization handling must also be finalized and tested.
