VALLETTA, Malta, Nov. 11, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Archivas <\/strong>announced the launch of its production-ready Layer-1 blockchain network powered by Proof-of-Space-and-Time (PoST), a consensus model that enables decentralized “farming” using unused disk storage instead of energy-intensive mining or capital-intensive staking. Participants, known as farmers, earn the network\u2019s native token, $RCHV, by allocating available storage and contributing to network security and operations.<\/p>\n

\"Archivas\"<\/p>\n

About Archivas:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Archivas is a next-generation Proof-of-Space-and-Time blockchain focused on sustainability, fairness, and open participation. By eliminating the need for expensive hardware or staked capital, Archivas enables everyday users, developers, and storage providers to participate in decentralized infrastructure.<\/p>\n

What is Archivas?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Built from the ground up as a standalone blockchain<\/strong>, Archivas introduces a sustainable and highly efficient alternative to Proof-of-Work (PoW)<\/strong> and Proof-of-Stake (PoS)<\/strong>. Rather than requiring GPUs<\/strong>, ASICs<\/strong>, or staked capital.<\/p>\n

\"Archivas<\/p>\n

Archivas leverages two complementary mechanisms:<\/p>\n

Proof-of-Space<\/strong>, where farmers create cryptographic plots that allocate storage.<\/p>\n

Proof-of-Time<\/strong>, where Verifiable Delay Functions ensure fairness and verifiable sequential ordering.<\/p>\n

The model draws inspiration from the Chia research standard while improving accessibility, simplicity, and developer readiness.<\/p>\n

The network\u2019s test environment, archivas-devnet-v4<\/strong>, has operated publicly for more than 25 days. During this period, the network processed over 64,000 blocks<\/strong> and 1,160 transactions<\/strong>, with active farmers contributing more than 55 GB of plotted storage capacity<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
