Duniter
Blockchain Software for the Ğ1 Libre Currency
Duniter is free software for operating currencies as public utility exchange tools. It addresses the concentration of currency management in proprietary, closed, centralised systems by implementing the Relative Theory of Money, which defines libre currencies and the Universal Dividend: a share of money created periodically in proportion to the total money supply. Duniter has operated Ğ1, described as the first libre currency, since 8 March 2017, with more than 6,000 participants.
The software includes a decentralised Web of Trust, a peer-to-peer identification system that links digital identity to a living physical person and underpins the Universal Dividend. Its blockchain uses an energy-efficient verifiable random draw rather than proof of work, allowing it to run on modest hardware such as a Raspberry Pi. Duniter is written in Rust and is available as free software with documentation and source code repositories. It is intended for communities and individuals running libre currencies, with no pricing or packaging details stated on the pages provided.
