A Sovereign Layer-1 Blockchain for the Digital Pantheon
Version 1.0 • January 2026 • MIT License
DEMIURGE is a sovereign Layer-1 blockchain designed for true digital autonomy. Built on Substrate, DEMIURGE provides creators, developers, and sovereign entities with the infrastructure to build, deploy, and monetize decentralized applications without gatekeepers or middlemen.
Our mission is to create a digital pantheon where individuals maintain complete sovereignty over their identity, data, and creations. DEMIURGE enables a creator economy built on transparency, fairness, and immutable ownership.
Built on Substrate framework, DEMIURGE leverages GRANDPA consensus for finality and BABE for block production. The chain supports up to 1000 TPS with sub-second block times.
QOR ID is a decentralized identity protocol that provides users with sovereign control over their digital identity. Each QOR ID is cryptographically secured and tied to an on-chain address, enabling seamless authentication across the ecosystem without centralized identity providers.
DEMIURGE supports WASM-based smart contracts through Substrate's contracts pallet, enabling developers to write contracts in Rust, AssemblyScript, or any language that compiles to WebAssembly.
Cognitive Governance Token (CGT) is the native token of the DEMIURGE blockchain. Total supply: 1,000,000,000 CGT. Distribution: 40% Mining Rewards, 30% Ecosystem Fund, 20% Team & Development (4-year vesting), 10% Initial Liquidity.
Miners earn CGT by validating transactions and producing blocks. Stakers earn rewards by locking CGT and participating in governance. Base mining reward: 100 CGT per block, halving every 2 years.
Transaction fees are dynamically calculated based on network congestion and computational complexity. 70% of fees are burned, 30% go to block producers.
DRC-369 is DEMIURGE's native NFT standard designed for creators. Features include: • **Built-in Royalties**: Creators earn on every secondary sale • **Rich Metadata**: On-chain and IPFS storage options • **Fractional Ownership**: Split NFT ownership among multiple parties • **Dynamic NFTs**: Metadata can evolve based on on-chain events • **Cross-chain Bridge**: Compatible with Ethereum, Polygon, and other EVM chains
QLOUD OS is a web-based operating system that runs entirely in the browser, providing users with a familiar desktop environment for interacting with the blockchain. Features include native apps for wallet management, NFT creation, file storage, and more.
The QOR Launcher is a native desktop application that provides: • **Full Node Deployment**: Run a complete DEMIURGE validator or light node • **Native Mining**: CPU/GPU mining with optimized performance • **Integrated Wallet**: Secure storage for CGT and DRC-369 assets • **P2P Content Delivery**: Earn CGT by seeding content on the network • **QOR OS Environment**: Full desktop experience with native performance
DEMIURGE features on-chain governance allowing CGT holders to propose and vote on network upgrades, parameter changes, and treasury spending. Voting power is proportional to staked CGT, with a quadratic voting mechanism to prevent plutocracy.

DEMIURGE employs multiple layers of security: • **Cryptographic Standards**: Ed25519 signatures, SHA3-256 hashing • **Economic Security**: Slashing for malicious validators • **Formal Verification**: Critical pallets undergo formal verification • **Bug Bounty Program**: Up to $100,000 for critical vulnerabilities • **Regular Audits**: Quarterly third-party security audits
DEMIURGE is built by a global team of blockchain engineers, cryptographers, and designers committed to digital sovereignty. Development is open source under the MIT license, with all code publicly available on GitHub.
DEMIURGE represents the future of sovereign digital infrastructure. By combining a high-performance blockchain with intuitive user experiences, we're building the foundation for the next generation of decentralized applications and digital economies.
