PIO Testnet · where the chain begins
Block #0
The Genesis Block
The genesis document defines the network’s identity, its first validators, initial balances and every protocol parameter. Block #0 is not a block of transactions: CometBFT starts the chain from this state, and block #1 is the first block validators produce.
Testnet genesis. Balances below are test tokens (tPIO) with no monetary value. The mainnet premine (3,500,000 PIO) and mining reserve (6,500,000 PIO) are not allocated on this network; see tokenomics for the mainnet specification. A mainnet genesis will be shown here only after it is generated and independently verified.
