About Bitcoin Gold

Golden Foundations | Rebuilding Decentralization

Bitcoin Gold combines the legacy reliability of Bitcoin with the speed of Proof of History and the flexibility of smart contracts — creating a secure, fast, and programmable digital asset for the real world.

Introduction

What is Bitcoin Gold?

BTG is a cryptocurrency with Bitcoin fundamentals, mined on common GPUs instead of specialty ASICs.

ASICs tend to monopolize mining to a few big players, but GPU mining means anyone can mine again – restoring decentralization and independence. GPU mining rewards go to individuals worldwide, instead of mostly to ASIC warehouse owners, recreating network effects that Bitcoin used to have.

Technology

Bitcoin Gold Technology

Bitcoin Gold presents a new evolution in digital money by combining the power of Proof of History and smart contracts. This technology ensures fast transactions, low fees, and a programmable ecosystem for a wide range of applications—from DeFi and asset tokenization to automated payments—while maintaining network decentralization and security.

Technology Description
Proof of History (PoH) — a cryptographic timestamping system that efficiently maintains transaction order, speeds up confirmations, and reduces latency.

Smart Contracts — a secure and flexible platform that enables developers to build decentralized applications like DeFi, NFTs, and automated payments on top of the Bitcoin Gold network.

Vision
