RGMChain RGM

RGMChain (RGM) is an open-source Layer 1 cryptocurrency launched in July 2026 as a fork of Dogecoin Core 1.14.x. The network retains a Bitcoin-family UTXO architecture and Scrypt Proof of Work while adding native support for post-quantum addresses based on ML-DSA-44, the lattice-based digital-signature standard defined in NIST FIPS 204.

RGM supports three address formats: traditional legacy addresses, native SegWit addresses and optional post-quantum addresses beginning with rgm1z. The post-quantum address system uses ML-DSA-44 signatures through the Open Quantum Safe liboqs library. Because these signatures are substantially larger than ECDSA signatures, users can choose between conventional and post-quantum address types rather than being forced to use the larger format for every transaction.

The network targets approximately 60-second blocks and currently uses Scrypt Proof of Work. Pool mining activated at block 25,000, while SegWit and ML-DSA-44 post-quantum addresses activated at block 50,000. The live chain has already passed that milestone, so both features are now active. Auxiliary Proof of Work is scheduled for block 500,000, which is intended to allow RGM to be merge-mined alongside Litecoin and Dogecoin while continuing to support standalone Scrypt mining.

RGM follows a Bitcoin-style deflationary emission schedule. Blocks currently issue 50 RGM, with rewards halving every 2,102,400 blocks. The resulting maximum supply is 210,240,000 RGM. The project states that there was no premine, presale or developer allocation.

The project's core node, wallet software and post-quantum implementation are publicly available on GitHub. RGM remains a young network, so users should consider its limited operating history, relatively small mining ecosystem and the fact that its RGM-specific post-quantum integration remains open for community review.
