Native from the start
A native Layer 1 built with Cosmos SDK and CometBFT. CNC settlement and public node interfaces come first; EVM compatibility is a later direction.
CENACA · IN DEVELOPMENT
A simple, all-new blockchain for real life.
Cenaca is building a native foundation for CNC settlement and on-chain governance. Explore the design. Understand the network.

01 / UNDERSTAND Cenaca
The chain is the foundation.
Cenaca, the Cenyla wallet, the New World game, and the SD account service have separate roles. The ledger is designed to operate independently of the applications around it.
Keys and identity are separate
Ordinary Cenaca addresses are controlled by their keys. An SD account or game identity cannot replace a wallet signature or recover a lost private key.
Rules for organizations
The design uses equity and director credentials, proposals, and explicit voting thresholds. Complete governance and operating controls remain under validation.
Cenaca / ARCHITECTURE
Connected by interfaces. Independent by design.

02 / READ THE DESIGN
Start with the whitepaper.
The existing Cenaca whitepaper explains the native chain, CNC supply, address control, organization governance, and the boundaries between the chain and its applications.
Online reading supports English, Simplified Chinese and Traditional Chinese. The original PDF is in Simplified Chinese and English. Design targets are not deployment or performance guarantees. Original editions retain their historical names.
03 / PARTICIPATE IN THE NETWORK
Run a validator. Help build the network.
Validators participate in block consensus and network operation. The public validator client, also described as the mining program, will be offered here after release acceptance.
Understand the validator designInitial permissioned validators are a design target. Public admission, supported systems, hardware requirements and reward settlement await a verified release. Running software is not a promise of CNC income.
RELEASE PENDING
Cenaca Validator Client
A public release has not yet passed acceptance. Downloads will open when a verified package, version information, checksums and operating instructions are available.
- Public version
- Not released

Test builds are not published as production software.
04 / FOLLOW THE CHAIN
Meet Cenaca Explorer.
The Cenaca block explorer is the separate place for blocks, transactions and address activity. Use it to inspect the network beyond this introduction.

A FEW THINGS TO KNOW
Clear by design.
Is Cenaca mainnet live?
The currently identified Cenaca network is a test environment. This website does not announce a verified production mainnet or real-asset launch.
Does “mining” mean proof-of-work?
Here it refers to the validator program, not proof-of-work hashing. Cenaca follows a Cosmos SDK and CometBFT native chain design. Public validator participation and compensation require a verified release.
Does Cenaca depend on New World?
The design separates the chain from the game, website and account service. Independence must be verified through continued blocks, transfers and governance while the game and its database are stopped.
