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.

Nothing here needs this website. Compute the supply from any node's block height, or ask your own node, which keeps the same sum itself. Start it with --http --http.api eth,net,web3,xhash for the second command; the public RPC doesn't expose that namespace.

Compute it from the block height (any node, including the public RPC)

curl -s https://rpc.parallaxprotocol.org -X POST \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","method":"eth_blockNumber","params":[],"id":1}' \
  | python3 -c 'import json,sys; h=int(json.load(sys.stdin)["result"],16); w=sum(max(0,min(h,(e+1)*210000-1)-max(1,e*210000)+1)*((50*10**18)>>e) for e in range(64)); print(f"height {h}: {w/10**18:,.0f} LAX")'

Ask your own node (total supply in wei)

curl -s http://localhost:8545 -X POST \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","method":"xhash_getTotalSupply","params":[],"id":1}'

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.
