Epic Cash is an in-progress implementation of the MimbleWimble protocol. Epic Cash redefined new core characteristics of this new privacy focused blockchain forked from Grin, following constitutes a first set of choices:

• Block rewards epoch & total supply to match Bitcoin
• Support diversity of mining hash powers using a combination of algorithms
• Clean and minimal implementation, and aiming to stay as such.
• Follows the MimbleWimble protocol, which provides great anonymity and scaling characteristics.
• Cuckoo Cycle proof of work with the CuckAToo31+ (ASIC-targeted).
• Relatively fast block time: one minute.
• Transaction fees are based on the number of Outputs created/destroyed and total transaction size.
• Smooth curve for difficulty adjustments.

Epic is live with mainnet.
