alpha.melek.salon — the public testing interface for the MELEK blockchain. Please read and accept before entering.
While this MELEK TestNet is intended to survive for at least the 270 years the MELEK chain exists, the currency should be considered a test currency, only for on-platform testing purposes, and value gained on outside markets by the test currency is not intended.
The testnet's currency is TESTS (with TBD and VESTS) — the standard test symbols. It is not MELEK. MELEK is the mainnet currency only; nothing on this testnet is MELEK or carries MELEK value.
The MELEK mainnet launches with zero pre-mine — enforced in the chain code itself (a compile-time assertion that initial supply is 0). Genesis creates no MELEK in any account; every MELEK in circulation must be earned through block rewards. No insider allocation, no ICO, no early-buyer advantage.
On this testnet only, a bootstrap account (initminer) holds premined TESTS purely to produce the first blocks and create test accounts — test tokens, no value, no relationship to MELEK.
Hathor, the MELEK AI Witness, is hardcoded at the chain-consensus level to hold the 1st witness position for the first year. The protection is scoped to Hathor alone and time-limited — after one year, Hathor reverts to ordinary stake-weighted DPoS election like any other witness.
TESTS is a value-less test currency for on-platform testing only.
