Blockchains used to burn energy.
Or demand massive capital.
Now they just need disk space.
Welcome to Archivas ( $RCHV )
The Proof-of-Space revolution. 🧵👇
1/ No GPUs. No staking. No waste.
Just empty storage, turned into crypto rewards.
Archivas is a Layer-1 blockchain running on Proof-of-Space-and-Time (PoST) the same consensus that made Chia possible.
2/ Instead of miners, you have farmers.
Instead of electricity, you use space + time.
Proof-of-Space: prove you’ve allocated real disk storage.
Proof-of-Time: use Verifiable Delay Functions (VDFs) to keep block timing fair.
Green. Fair. Permissionless.
3/ The Core Loop:
1️⃣ Timelord computes VDF → new challenge
2️⃣ Farmers scan plots for proofs
3️⃣ Best proof wins block
4️⃣ 20 $RCHV reward
5️⃣ Repeat
No energy race. No plutocracy.
Just math + storage.
4/ Why it matters:
Bitcoin burns electricity.
Ethereum locks capital.
Archivas uses hardware everyone already has, disks.
A lottery powered by space, not money or megawatts.
5/ Network Specs (Testnet-V4):
• Block Time: ~25 s
• Reward: 20 $RCHV
• Tx Fee: ~0.001 RCHV
• Block Height: 64K+
• Total Supply: ~1.28 M RCHV
• Uptime: 25+ days
It’s live, stable, and growing.
6/ For Users
✅ Fast (20–30 s finality)
✅ Low fees
✅ Standard mnemonics (BIP-39)
✅ Secure signatures (Ed25519)
For Devs
✅ Public RPC →
✅ TypeScript SDK
✅ Explorer + CORS support
For Farmers
✅ No GPUs needed
✅ Stable rewards
✅ Fair distribution
7/ Built Different (vs Chia):
Written in Go, not Python
~10 K lines of code (>10× simpler)
Single binary deployment
SHA-256 VDF for speed
Smart-contract ready from Day 1
Think Chia, but simpler, faster, developer-first.
8/ Modern Cryptography
✅ Ed25519 signatures
✅ BIP-39 mnemonics
✅ Bech32 addresses (arcv…)
✅ Blake2b hashing
✅ RFC 8785 canonical JSON
Small signatures, fast verification, hardware wallet-ready.
9/ Energy & Accessibility
Bitcoin → 150 TWh/yr
Archivas → ~1 kWh/yr per farmer
PoW = ASICs
PoS = stake
PoST = storage
Decentralized by design.
10/ Use Cases (Testnet → Mainnet):
• Decentralized file storage
• Archival records / data availability
• Low-fee payments
• DeFi + programmable storage
• Smart contracts backed by proof-of-replication
Storage becomes security and utility.
11/ Why Now?
✅ PoST proven by Chia (>10 EB farm capacity)
✅ Disks cheap ($15 / TB)
✅ Developers want green blockchains
✅ Go ecosystem ready
Archivas is the next evolution : clean code, real utility.
