Verify It Yourself

Parallax asks for no belief. Every claim on this site can be checked against the chain itself — these are the commands.

The genesis block

The chain began on October 28, 2025 with a minimal genesis: no premine, no pre-deployed contracts, no privileged accounts. Embedded in its extra-data field is a newspaper headline from launch day:

“The Times 28/Oct/2025 Trump tells Japan: Any favours you need, we'll be there”

A chain constructed in secret before the announced launch could not contain news from launch day. Ask any node for block zero and check both the hash and the headline:

Expected genesis hash

0x96b239e015d50f5c3f11b80733e5f38c95882c072719507b7be1a59db4975457

Fetch block zero and its hash

curl -s https://rpc.parallaxprotocol.org -X POST \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","method":"eth_getBlockByNumber","params":["0x0",false],"id":1}' \
  | jq -r '.result.hash'

Decode the embedded headline

curl -s https://rpc.parallaxprotocol.org -X POST \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","method":"eth_getBlockByNumber","params":["0x0",false],"id":1}' \
  | jq -r '.result.extraData' | sed 's/^0x//' | xxd -r -p; echo

The supply

Supply at genesis was zero. Every LAX in existence was mined afterward at 50 per block, halving every 210,000 blocks — so the correct total supply at any height is computable by hand, and any deviation would be a consensus violation every node rejects.

This site exposes the computation as an API for convenience; the chain remains the source of truth:

The rules

Chain ID 2110. Ten-minute target interval. A 600M gas limit adjustable by at most ±0.1% per block. Do not take this page's word for any of it — ask the network:

Chain ID (expect 0x83e)

curl -s https://rpc.parallaxprotocol.org -X POST \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","method":"eth_chainId","params":[],"id":1}'

Latest block — check timestamp spacing and gas limit

curl -s https://rpc.parallaxprotocol.org -X POST \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","method":"eth_getBlockByNumber","params":["latest",false],"id":1}' \
  | jq '{number: .result.number, timestamp: .result.timestamp, gasLimit: .result.gasLimit}'

Don't trust this page

Every command above points at a public RPC endpoint for convenience — but a convenient endpoint is a trusted third party. The client runs on any commodity machine; sync your own node and point the same commands at localhost. That is the entire design: verification belongs to anyone with a modest computer, and this website is not part of the trust model.
