Qwertycoin (QWC) is an open-source, privacy-focused cryptocurrency for peer-to-peer payments. Originally launched in 2018, the project introduced a separate network in 2026 using RandomX proof-of-work mining and EPoSe service-node rewards.
The current network targets a new block every 120 seconds. Miners produce blocks, while registered service nodes can earn rewards for providing verifiable network services. EPoSe uses signed attestations to determine eligibility for service-node rewards. Participation does not require staking QWC.
According to the project’s documentation, the 2026 network has a new genesis block, network identity and address format. Legacy blockchain files and wallet caches are incompatible with the current network. Importing an older wallet’s keys does not automatically transfer its previous balance to the new chain.
Qwertycoin’s Core software is based on the Monero 0.18.x codebase, with source code published on GitHub. The project provides web, desktop and command-line wallets.
As of October 2026, the current release is available for public testing. Its release notes identify outstanding EPoSe audit and readiness checks.
