Getting Started

Get familiar with the Dorsium ecosystem and start mining

What is Dorsium?

Dorsium is a community-centric blockchain ecosystem that democratizes cryptocurrency mining through mobile accessibility while maintaining enterprise-grade security and transparency.

Built on Cosmos SDK with a revolutionary Hierarchical Delegated Consensus (HDC) mechanism, Dorsium transforms mobile devices into lightweight validators that perform cryptographic signature verification and transaction validation, rewarding users with DORS utility tokens for their network contribution.

Key Features

  • Mobile Mining - Mine directly from iOS/Android devices without specialized hardware
  • Energy Efficient - Validation process consumes less than 2% battery per hour
  • Transparent Rewards - Deterministic formulas with SHA-256 hash verification for every transaction
  • Community Governance - Transition to DAO structure after mainnet

How Mining Works

Dorsium uses a three-tier network architecture:

1. Mobile Miners

Mobile miners form the first line of defense in HDC consensus:

  • Signature Verification: Ed25519/Secp256k1 signature validation
  • Transaction Validation: Format and balance verification
  • Proof-of-Activity: 2-3 daily checks against Sybil attacks
  • Reward: 2.72 DORS per 24-hour validation session

Mobile mining performs real cryptographic work - the same validation operations as full nodes, just distributed across thousands of devices.

2. Nodes

Nodes are light validators and transaction relays:

  • Function: Block assembly, transaction forwarding
  • Reward: 3x base rate (8.16 DORS/day)
  • Requirement: 24/7 operation, stable internet

3. Validators

Validators are full consensus participants:

  • Function: BFT voting, blockchain storage, block finalization
  • Reward: 6x base rate (16.32 DORS/day)
  • Requirement: 24/7 operation, high-speed internet

Quick Start

For Mobile Mining

  1. Download the Dorsium app for iOS or Android
  2. Register and complete KYC verification
  3. Start mining - your device immediately begins validating
  4. Pass the knowledge test for token withdrawal (70% minimum)

KYC Requirement

Identity verification is required for mining:

  • Full name (as appears on government ID)
  • Date of birth and address
  • Government ID upload
  • Selfie verification

For Node or Validator Operation

  1. Complete basic KYC and knowledge test
  2. Video call verification with the Dorsium team
  3. Purchase hardware (Node: €635, Validator: €950)
  4. Follow the HP-800 User Manual

Reward System

Dorsium's reward structure is transparent and fair:

Base Reward = Base Rate × Hardware Multiplier × (1 + Referral Multiplier)

TypeBase RateHardware MultiplierDaily Reward

Node2.72 DORS3x8.16 DORS
Validator2.72 DORS6x16.32 DORS

Vesting

  • 20% immediately available
  • 80% released over 18 months

Next Steps

Download the Dorsium app, register, and complete KYC verification. Mining can start immediately after verification.

Read the HP-800 User Manual for hardware setup. Nodes require holding minimum 500 DORS, Validators require 1,000 DORS.
