Description

Shear is a CPU-mined ledger whose coin, SHE, is created when a block is found and not before. There is no premine and no sale of SHE by the developers. Privacy is the default: the rest-frame identity never appears on the book. Holders offer a silent ID; the chain writes revolving dests. Proof of work is ShearHash-v2. A found block closes exactly one SHE. This preprint states the project’s goals and the architecture that carries them.
