A sovereign-grade blockchain engineered for the tokenized economy. Every asset. Every sector. Every transaction — secured by cryptographic certainty and governed by the community.
Cashmereum unifies EVM + WASM execution, ERC-3643 compliance & on-chain identity, gasless account abstraction, an agentic x402 payments rail, confidential transfers & zk-KYC, and quantum-safe cryptography — backed by 200+ automated tests anyone can run. We don't ask you to take our word for it. We hand you the command.
npm testCashmereum is a Layer-1 blockchain that operates as both a sovereign cryptocurrency (CMR) and a universal token infrastructure layer, enabling the frictionless exchange of any asset class across any industry.
CashmereLink is the planned multi-protocol bridge suite. Live today (✓): a tested lock-and-mint bridge mechanism (relayer attestation, per-nonce replay protection, 1:1 backing) and an EVM-compatible eth_* RPC that lets Ethereum tooling read the chain. The connectors below are planned (◷) — none are live yet; each requires production bridge security (threshold/light-client) and, for fiat rails, licensed partners.
A meticulously engineered stack where each layer has a single, well-defined responsibility. Modularity ensures upgradability without chain halts.
The topmost layer surfaces Cashmereum's capabilities to end users and developers through standardized interfaces. All interaction flows through authenticated, rate-limited API gateways.
Dual-runtime environment: a real EVM (Cancun) for Solidity contracts, plus CashmereVM — a gas-metered WASM runtime — for contracts compiled from Rust/AssemblyScript. Full WASM transaction-pipeline integration and a formal-verification pipeline are planned.
A Tendermint-style Byzantine Fault Tolerant engine: stake-weighted 2f+1 prevote/precommit quorums with locking and round-robin view-change. Safety holds under Byzantine faults up to ⅓ of validators by stake; on loss of quorum the chain halts rather than forking. Sub-second finality and 100K TPS are throughput targets (see the benchmark for measured numbers).
A nonce-ordered mempool with per-sender validation and O(1) admission (no full-pool rescans). Higher-scale ordering — sharding, parallel execution, a dynamic fee market, and MEV protection — is on the roadmap.
An account-based world state persisted in SQLite, with a unified state root folding native accounts and the EVM trie into one cryptographic commitment. A Verkle-tree migration for stateless clients and smaller proofs is planned.
A WebSocket P2P layer carries signed consensus messages and gossiped transactions, with block-sync for lagging nodes. Authenticated + encrypted sessions are live (a mutually-authenticated, post-quantum-hybrid handshake + AES-256-GCM, enabled with cmr-node bft --secure). libp2p-grade peer discovery/scoring is the next step.
Cryptography builds on audited libraries (@noble curves/hashes): secp256k1 signing/recovery, keccak/BLAKE3 hashing, and a per-transaction scheme field that already carries post-quantum ML-DSA-65 signatures and a hybrid ML-KEM-1024 key exchange. Leader election uses ECVRF (RFC 9381), validated against the standard's test vectors. Privacy uses Pedersen commitments and zero-knowledge proofs (range proofs, DLEQ, ring signatures); the novel ZK constructions are implemented and tested but pending a third-party audit before any production reliance. HSM, threshold signatures, and a general SNARK layer are planned.
Cashmereum runs a Tendermint-style Byzantine Fault Tolerant protocol (branded HybridBFT): validators agree on each block through signed prevote/precommit rounds with locking and view-change. Leader election uses a verifiable random function (ECVRF, RFC 9381) over an unbiasable beacon chain committed in the signed block header. An optimistic single-round fast-path is a roadmap enhancement (marked ◷).
An interactive model of the target sharded design — not live network data. Measured single-node throughput today is ≈11,000 TPS execution / ≈440 TPS end-to-end (run npm run benchmark).
The CMR coin is the native monetary unit of the Cashmereum network, used for gas fees, staking, governance, and as the base currency for all tokenized asset settlements.

|---|---|
| Hard cap | 21,000,000,000 CMR (genesis rejected if exceeded) |
| Block reward | None — supply is non-increasing |

The 21B cap and fee-burn are enforced in code today; the launch distribution & any reward model are proposals in the tokenomics doc (subject to governance/legal sign-off).
A multi-layered defense strategy across the threat landscape. Some defenses are live today (✓); others are part of the production-hardening roadmap (◷) and are honestly marked as such. The full, candid threat model — including the open P2P-authentication gap — is in the data room.
Illustrative target applications the platform is designed to enable. These describe potential use cases and design goals — not live deployments, customers, or certifications. The building blocks that exist today (RWA & identity standards, AMM, NFTs, oracle/multisig/timelock contracts) are noted where relevant.
Cashmereum replaces fragmented settlement rails with a single atomic settlement layer. Real-time gross settlement, cross-border payments, tokenized securities, and DeFi primitives — all on one chain.
Sub-second payment finality with merchant on-ramps, loyalty tokenization, and supply chain provenance. A payment rail that rivals Visa throughput at 0.01% the cost.
Parametric insurance, automated claims processing, and risk pool management on-chain. Smart contracts replace adjusters for defined trigger events, enabling instant payouts.
Patient-controlled health data sovereignty, supply chain integrity for pharmaceuticals, and frictionless cross-border billing. Privacy-by-design using ZK proofs and selective disclosure.
Design targets a healthcare deployment would pursue — Cashmereum holds none of these certifications today.
True digital asset ownership, interoperable in-game economies, and provably fair randomness. Cashmereum handles micropayments at millisecond speed without gas friction.
The 21B hard cap and fee-burn are enforced in code today. The launch distribution below is a proposed model (subject to governance, board, and legal finalization) — it is not yet committed, and no token has been issued.
* Proposed — not committed. No token issued. See the tokenomics doc.
The on-chain governor (quadratic voting), a timelock, and a DAO treasury are built and tested today. The specific parameters, the security council, and full on-chain parameter-governance below are the proposed launch framework (◷ planned).
A phased rollout from genesis to full decentralization, with major milestones across protocol development, ecosystem growth, and institutional adoption.
Straight answers about what Cashmereum is, what's live today, and what's planned next.
Cashmereum (ticker CMR) is an EVM-compatible, post-quantum Layer-1 blockchain designed for tokenized real-world assets. It combines stake-weighted BFT consensus, a real Ethereum Virtual Machine, account abstraction (gasless accounts, session keys), on-chain identity and compliance (ERC-3643), an agentic payments rail (x402), confidential transfers and zk-KYC, on-chain quadratic-voting governance, and an auditable TypeScript codebase with 200+ automated tests.
Yes. Cashmereum runs a real Ethereum Virtual Machine (Cancun spec) and exposes an eth_* JSON-RPC endpoint, so existing Ethereum smart contracts, wallets, and developer tooling work against the chain.
Cashmereum implements NIST post-quantum cryptography: ML-DSA-65 signatures available via a per-transaction scheme field, and an X25519 + ML-KEM-1024 hybrid handshake for authenticated, AES-256-GCM-encrypted validator-to-validator communication.
A stake-weighted Byzantine Fault Tolerant (BFT) consensus with 2f+1 quorums, verifiable randomized leader election, equivocation slashing, and weak-subjectivity checkpoints for long-range-attack defense.
CMR is the native asset. It pays transaction fees through an EIP-1559 dynamic fee market, secures the network through staking and delegation, and powers on-chain governance via quadratic voting.
Cashmereum is a fully-tested, persistent, programmable testnet-grade Layer-1 today. Cross-chain bridges and fiat rails are clearly marked as planned, and a third-party security audit followed by mainnet are the funded next steps.
