Goldcoin is pioneering the transition from human-controlled to fully AI-autonomous cryptocurrency. With proven technical performance since 2013 (1,120 TPS, zero fees, instant confirmations), we are building toward complete AI autonomy by 2027.

• 1,120 Transactions Per Second — approximately 160x Bitcoin’s capacity
• Zero Transaction Fees — completely free to send
• 2-Minute Confirmations — approximately 5x faster than Bitcoin
• 32 MB Blocks — 32x larger than Bitcoin
• AI-Driven Development — 60% autonomous today, targeting 100% by 2027
• 100-Year Treasury — 1.1 billion GLC fund for autonomous operations

• AI handles ~60% of development tasks
• Migration work (e.g., Qt 6.9) executed by AI agents
• Humans provide strategic direction and guardrails

• AI makes ~90% of decisions autonomously
• Automated release management and incident response
• Human role reduced to funding and high-level oversight

• 100% AI operation achieved
• Zero human involvement required
• Self-sustaining operations for 100+ years

• Stable release with core functionality

• Complete C++23 modernization with Boost elimination
• Automatic BDB 4.8 → 18.1 wallet migration
• Qt 6.9 interface with modern frameworks
• OpenSSL 3.5.2 LTS and secp256k1 v0.6.0 cryptographic modernization
• Enterprise CMake build system with static linking

• Quantum-resistant signatures
• AI consensus protocol
• Self-healing network features
