$CELL Whitepaper

The First Proof-of-Cellular Memecoin on TON

Introduction

$CELL represents a revolutionary approach to memecoins on the TON blockchain, combining the fun and community-driven nature of meme tokens with the security and integrity of proof-of-cellular mining. Unlike traditional memecoins, $CELL implements a unique mining mechanism that ensures equitable distribution and active community participation. The project introduces a novel "semi-chain" architecture where mining solutions are validated both by the mining pool and on-chain, providing enhanced security and transparency in token allocation.

Key Features

  • Proof-of-Cellular Mining: First-ever mobile network-based mining protocol
  • Fair Distribution: tokens can be optained by mining or by the community rewards
  • Community Focus: Decentralized and transparent rewards
  • Mobile-First: Optimized for smartphone users

Innovation

  • Semi-Chain Architecture: Hybrid validation system combining off-chain and on-chain verification
  • Smart Contracts: Advanced TON-based implementation
  • Security: Dual-layer validation through pool and on-chain verification
  • Efficiency: solution processing on-chain cost is only 0.05 TON

Vision

$CELL aims to revolutionize the memecoin landscape by introducing a novel mining mechanism that leverages mobile network connectivity. This approach ensures genuine participation, fair distribution, and creates a unique ecosystem where anyone with a smartphone can participate in mining. By combining the accessibility of mobile devices with the security of blockchain technology, $CELL establishes a new standard for community-driven cryptocurrencies.

Glossary

Mining

Pool
A special oracle generating the solutions and validating that every miner uses only cellular network.
Era
A major mining phase in $CELL's distribution timeline. There are four eras (Premine, Early, Mid, Late), each with different token allocations and mining parameters.
Giver
The main smart contract responsible for token distribution, mining verification, and reward management. It coordinates with beacons and handles the mining protocol.
Epoch
A fixed time period within an era during which miners can make attempts to mine tokens. One block reward is distributed per epoch.
Attempt
A single mining try verified by the smart contract. Each attempt requires solving a challenge using the active seed.

Rewards

Attempt Reward
A base reward given for each valid mining attempt, regardless of whether it results in a successful block solution. This incentivizes consistent participation.
Block Reward
An additional reward distributed at the end of each epoch, with a chance of early distribution before the last attempt. This reward is larger than the attempt reward and represents the main mining incentive.

Tokenomics

Distribution Model

Total supply is distributed in the following way:

  • 80% Mining Distribution
    • Premine Era: ~13% (Early adopters & testers)
    • Early Mining Era: ~13%
    • Mid Mining Era: ~24%
    • Late Mining Era: ~50%
  • 10% Liquidity Provision
    • Gradually released after each mining era
    • Ensures sustainable market development
  • 10% Marketing & Community
    • Retrodrops
    • DeFi ecosystem activities
    • Community engagement rewards

Liquidity Strategy

The 10% liquidity allocation ensures:

  • Market stability after each era
  • Gradual increase in trading volume
  • Sustainable price discovery
  • Reduced market manipulation risks

Marketing & Community

The 10% marketing allocation enables:

  • Retroactive rewards for early adopters
  • Integration with DeFi protocols
  • Community-driven initiatives
  • Ecosystem growth activities

Mining Process

$CELL introduces a unique proof-of-mobile mining mechanism that leverages mobile network connectivity:

Mining Steps

  1. Solution Download
    • Miner downloads the solution from the pool
    • If the miner is not connected to the mobile network, he is not able to mine
  2. Solution Verification
    • Miner computes the cryptographic hashsum of the downloaded solution
    • The hashsum serves as proof of successful download
  3. Proof Validation
    • Miner verifies the solution proof against the computed hashsum
    • Verification is done using the giver's public key
  4. Reward Collection
    • Valid solutions are submitted to the network
    • Smart contract verifies the submission
    • Rewards are automatically distributed to the miner's wallet

Mobile Network Requirements

  • Active mobile data connection required
  • Network type is verified through the pool
  • Multiple attempts can be made within network constraints

Rewards

The dual reward system incentivizes both participation and successful mining:

  • Attempt reward for each valid solution verification
  • Block reward for successful epoch solution

Technical Implementation

$CELL is implemented as a group of a TON smart contracts and off-chain services with the following key components:

Semi-Chain Architecture

The semi-chain architecture represents a breakthrough in secure memecoin distribution by combining the benefits of server-based and on-chain validation:

  • Dual Validation: Mining attempts are validated both by mining pools and smart contracts
  • Attack Prevention: Makes it impossible to bypass mobile network requirements through smart contract manipulation
  • Cost Efficiency: Reduces on-chain operations while maintaining security and transparency
  • Fair Distribution: Ensures equal mining opportunities by preventing automated farming

Giver

Giver coordinates with beacons and handles the mining protocol. Maintaining epochs, attempts and rewards distribution.

Rewards are available for claim instantly in the early, mid and late eras. In the premine era, rewards transparency is guaranteed by the external messages from the giver.

Beacon

Beacon controls the seeds for the mining attempts for each miner and handles the balance of the miner to claim.

Pool

Pool is a special oracle generating the solutions and validating that every miner uses only cellular network.

Beacon System

The $CELL token implements a unique beacon system that ensures fair and verifiable mining, ensuring that concurrent solutions from different miners are acceptable:

Mining Coordination

  • Each miner has its own beacon, which is a special smart contract
  • Beacon is responsible for maintaining seeds for mining challenges
  • Beacon is responsible for storing balance available for claiming
  • Only submissions through beacons are accepted by the giver

Seed Generation

  • Each beacon maintains seeds for mining challenges
  • Seeds are randomly generated
  • 30 seeds are stored per miner
  • Seeds are rotated with each valid mining attempt

Token Claim

  • Beacon handles the balance of the miner
  • Claiming is done by the miner on-chain
  • Claiming can be done anytime in the early, mid and late eras
