About the coin (primary summary)
- What coin: TkmChain (TKM)
- Mining algorithm: RandomX
- CPU-only or not: Yes (designed as CPU‑friendly to combat ASIC mining)
- Brief description: The project aims at decentralizing mining and fair reward distribution through a “Rotating Kings” model. In addition to PoW, the project offers C++ smart contracts and state‑protection mechanisms via checkpoints.
- Where to mine/pool: Information on the project website (link not provided).
- Wallet/links: Not specified.
- Community reaction: Users express concern about management transparency: current mechanisms allow verification of data on the blockchain, but do not guarantee immutability of developers’ public promises and roadmaps.

- Main topic of new messages: Announcement of privacy protocol update (Shielded Transactions) and introduction of post‑quantum cryptography.
- Key news/updates:
- Confidential transactions: Implementation of a protocol based on zero‑knowledge proofs (Groth16) and a “Shielded Pool Address” system to hide participant addresses.
- Post‑quantum security: Switch to the ML‑DSA‑87 signature algorithm to protect the network from quantum threats.
- Migration mechanism: Users need to transfer assets from old ECDSA wallets to new PQ accounts (via web‑wallet or special network calls).
- Technical details: Use of MiMC commitments and Merkle trees to track notes, as well as mandatory checkpoints to ensure network history compatibility.
- Issues/complaints: None found.

- Main topic of new messages: Discussion of TkmChain protocol update, specifically the transition to V2 note commitments and related changes in network operation and tools.
- Key news/updates:
- V2 note commitments introduced, which bind the recipient, asset, value, and randomness under domain 2001.
- V2 commitments, nullifiers, output roots, balances, bindings, and intent hashes are now domain‑separated from V1.
- Migration of the official V1 self‑note is possible only if its legacy owner field matches the restored PQ sender; the migration result is always V2.
- The
gtkm --tkmprovertool now loads, verifies, caches, and serves both keys without needing to load a signature or funded prover account. - The wallet signs a transaction only after independently recomputing the V2 recipient and change commitments from the returned opening data.
- Phase‑2 ceremony used the common reference string from phase 1, recorded at the recovery ceremony on 2026‑08‑20, obtaining two sequential local contributions and beacon
TKM_SHIELDED_V2_RECIPIENT_BINDING_2026-08-20. - Issues/complaints: No issues or complaints mentioned in the post.
- Overall tone: Neutral‑technical, informational, without clear emotional coloring.
