## What is RustChain?

RustChain uses **Proof-of-Antiquity (PoA)** — a consensus mechanism that rewards miners running on real vintage hardware like PowerPC G4/G5, Apple Silicon, and retro x86 systems. The older and more unique your hardware, the higher your mining multiplier.

| Hardware | Multiplier |
|----------|-----------|
| PowerPC G4 | 2.5x |
| PowerPC G5 | 2.0x |
| IBM POWER8 | 2.0x |
| Apple Silicon | 1.2x |
| Modern x86_64 | 1.0x |
