True Decentralization
Governed by the Community, Not Corporations
Decentralization is fundamental. The SmartHoldem DPoS blockchain is immutable, and all operations are irreversible. Any transaction is transparently available for viewing on the Block Explorer or via API at any time.
Democratic Voting
Validators are chosen based on reputation, not centralized control.
No Frozen Coins
Users vote with the power of their balance. Coins remain under complete user control.
Accountability
Any STH holder can vote, elect, or cancel delegates. Ineffective delegates are swiftly replaced by the community.
Ownership
Holding just >1 STH grants full voting rights on the network.
The Delegate System
The TOP 21: Securing the Network
Delegates (also known as witnesses or block producers) are responsible for verifying transactions, creating new blocks, and protecting the SmartHoldem network. They cannot alter or influence transaction information.

Centralized Control
The delegation system is highly competitive. A delegate can move into or out of the TOP 21 at any time. This sustainable scheme provides an opportunity for new delegates to prove themselves and attract the community's attention.
Economics
Sustainable Rewards. Zero Inflationary Emission.
There is no emission in the SmartHoldem (DPoS) blockchain. Delegates receive rewards exclusively from transaction fees, ensuring a deflationary, sustainable economic model.
The delegate who signs the block receives ALL NETWORK FEES for the transactions included in that block.
How Delegates Earn
500 STH
per block (max)
500 standard transactions in a block → up to 500 STH earned.
10,000 STH
registration fee
Delegate registration transaction → 10,000 STH earned.
0 STH
no base reward
No transactions in a block → 0 STH earned (no base reward).
Advanced Transaction Types
SmartHoldem supports a rich ecosystem of transaction types, generating diverse fee revenue:

Reward is measured based on the voter's participation share and the delegate's payout percentage.
Quantum Shield
SmartHoldem Quantum Shield
How We Protect the Blockchain from Future Computers
While the market discusses charts and volatility, a threat capable of nullifying classical cryptography is maturing in the labs of tech giants. Shor's algorithm on a sufficiently powerful quantum computer could break ECDSA (elliptic curves) - the mathematical foundation on which wallets and transactions for most blockchains, including SmartHoldem, are built today.
We aren't waiting for a hypothetical "Day X." The integration of Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC) into the SmartHoldem ecosystem has already begun.
Roadmap
Implementation Plan: Hybrid Model
We are ruling out abrupt hard forks and forced migrations. The transition will be gradual and seamless:
Phase 1
Hybrid Signatures
- Transactions signed simultaneously with classic ECDSA and new PQC algorithm (e.g., Dilithium)
- Even if one method is compromised, the other maintains protection
Phase 2
Updating STH-Core
- SmartHoldem node is written in TypeScript/Node.js
- Integrate optimized PQC libraries in Rust or C++ via node-addon-api
- Maintain high throughput of the DPoS network without sacrificing cryptographic strength
Phase 3
Quantum Addresses
- Introduction of new address type with extended public keys resistant to quantum analysis
- Users can gradually transfer funds to "Quantum-Safe" wallets
Architecture
Hybrid Quantum Shield via Second Signature
SmartHoldem leverages a unique architectural feature - the second signature mechanism, unlike many other networks where users would have to create new wallets and mass-transfer assets.
Address Formation
An address in SmartHoldem is formed as a hash of the first public key.
Second Key Activation
When the second signature is activated, a second public key is recorded on the blockchain.
PQC Replacement
We replace the generation of this second key from ECDSA with a post-quantum algorithm.
Result
- You do not need to change your wallet
- Your address remains the same
- Your coins stay exactly where they have been for years
- Now protected by a second cryptographic layer
- Even if a quantum computer computes your first private key, it cannot send a transaction without a valid second (quantum-resistant) signature
For users on a single signature: You will need to either activate a second signature (which instantly enables quantum protection) or transfer funds to the new address types once they are released.
Deep Tech
Technical Nuances & Network Protection
Delegates Under Protection
- In a DPoS network, delegates sign blocks
- Forging their signatures threatens the entire blockchain's integrity
- Implementing PQC at the protocol level makes SmartHoldem a "digital fortress" resistant to consensus spoofing
Transaction Size
- Hash-based schemes (Lamport/SPHINCS+) generate signatures sized in kilobytes
- Node logic will be adapted to correctly process "heavy" transactions without losing sync speed
OTS Optimization
- To avoid bloating the blockchain, one-time keys will be aggregated into Merkle trees
- For the user, this looks like a familiar wallet
- At the mathematical level, each key is used strictly once and invalidated after signing
Development
Code in Progress
We are already preparing the infrastructure for the new verification layer. Here's a glimpse of how the integration will look in the core:
// STH-Core: Verification layer
if (transaction.secondSignature) {
// Classic verification
verifyClassicSignature(transaction.signature, transaction.senderPublicKey);
// TODO: Integrate Post-Quantum verification layer
// validateHybridQuantumSignature(transaction.pqSignature, algorithm: 'Dilithium' | 'SPHINCS+');
}Quantum supremacy is not the end of cryptography, but its next evolutionary stage. SmartHoldem isn't adapting retroactively. We are laying the foundation for the future today. We are choosing mathematics that cannot be "solved" by brute force and integrating it directly into the core of our DPoS network. The future is already here. And it is secured.
