Welcome to Raptoreum Learn
The comprehensive knowledge base for the Raptoreum ecosystem. Whether you are a newcomer looking to get your first RTM or a developer building decentralized assets, you will find everything you need here.
Raptoreum Learn is your starting point — no matter where you are in your journey. Beginners will find step-by-step guides on wallets, mining, and acquiring RTM. Developers and power users can dive deeper into asset creation, Smartnode setup, and the technical architecture of the network.
Why Raptoreum?
Raptoreum is a secure, asset-oriented Proof-of-Work blockchain powered by the custom GhostRider algorithm. Built from the ground up to be ASIC- and FPGA-resistant, it enables everyday users to participate in network security using standard CPU hardware — no specialized equipment required.
- GhostRider Algorithm: A custom PoW algorithm designed specifically for Raptoreum to prevent ASIC/FPGA dominance and keep mining accessible to everyone.
- Custom Assets: Create, manage, and transfer both fungible and non-fungible assets (NFAs) directly on-chain — no programming skills required. Each asset has a unique name, and only one instance of that name can ever exist on the blockchain.
- Smartnodes: A collateralized second-layer network that enables advanced features such as InstantSend and PrivateSend — while also forming the backbone of Raptoreum's security model.
- 51% Attack Protection: Active since March 4, 2021, LLMQ-based ChainLocks ensure that even if an attacker gains more than 51% of the network's hash power, they can never reorganize the chain by more than one block. This makes Raptoreum one of the most attack-resistant PoW blockchains available.
- Fair Launch: No ICO, no pre-mine — Raptoreum launched on February 26, 2021, with a community-driven approach and a custom emission schedule designed to avoid hyperinflation.
