Documentation Morana

Guides for users, miners and node operators, the RPC reference, how the network is built, economics and the security model of the closed testnet.

Users

User Guide

Install the wallet, create or restore it, and make your first testnet transfer.

Verify Your Download

How to make sure the Morana file you downloaded is the one the project released: SHA-256 sums and a minisign signature.

Messenger Guide

Two profiles — Morana and Shadow, adding contacts, delivery through the relay swarm, and what a relay sees of your conversations.

FAQ

Short answers to common questions about Morana — coins, the team's share, names, relays, the private layer, network rules and mainnet.

Privacy

Private Addresses (Z)

Which address types Morana has, how a private address differs from a public one, and how to use it.

Privacy and Its Limits

What Morana protects, what stays visible, and where the limits of anonymity lie.

Private Transfers (Sapling)

How Morana's private layer works — Sapling, what is hidden, what is visible, and which safeguards sit on top of the cryptography.

Miners

Miner Guide

Mine Morana with KawPow — pool connection, worker format, difficulty and payouts.

Mining

PPLNS Payout Scheme

How the Morana pool distributes block rewards using Pay Per Last N Shares. The minimum payout is 1 XMOR.

Reference

RPC Reference

Morana networks and ports, address formats, node commands, and the rule that RPC stays on localhost.

Technical Canon

Morana's network rules in one place — networks and ports, proof of work, blocks, issuance, relays, names, the private layer, wallet, gateway, messenger, mining and releases.

Network Parameters

Morana's networks in one table — ports, address prefixes, block time, maturity, block and transaction limits, minimum fees and OP_RETURN.

Glossary

Short definitions of the words used across Morana's documentation — from atoms and epochs to the turnstile and the Shadow profile.

Operators

Run a Messenger Relay

How to run a Morana relay, register it on chain and earn a share of the block.

Architecture

Wallet Architecture

How the Morana wallet is built — crates, storage, two kinds of transactions, sync and sending.

Lightd Gateway Architecture

How the Morana Lightd gateway lets the wallet and the messenger work without a full node — and why you do not have to trust it.

Wallet

Wallet Backup & Recovery

The 24-word phrase, the .morbak file, and how to restore a Morana wallet.

Protocol

Economics

Block reward, halving, the miner, developer and relay shares, name fees and the project pool's fee.

Security Model

How keys are stored, what the wallet verifies and how network rules change.

Known Limitations

What to keep in mind on the closed testnet, and what arrives on the way to mainnet.

Network Roadmap

Morana's stages from the invite-only closed testnet to mainnet — what each one covers and what already works.

Relay Economics

What the network pays relays, how the stake and the income cap are calculated, how the payout queue, heartbeats and exit work — with a table for 30, 100 and 300 relays.

MORID Names

A name on the Morana blockchain — which names are allowed, how commit-reveal registration works, what it costs, how to renew, transfer or sell a name, and which names are reserved.
