Groestlcoin is an open-source proof-of-work cryptocurrency and peer-to-peer payment network launched on 22 March 2014, built on a fork of the Bitcoin reference wallet. Groestlcoin's Twitter Score is 15 out of 1000 as of July 2026, ranking #72,590 among 531,432 tracked accounts.
Groestlcoin was founded by Gruve_P and operates as an independent cryptocurrency with a distinct mining algorithm. Rather than using Bitcoin's SHA-256, it runs two rounds of the Grøstl-512 hashing function as its proof-of-work mechanism. The network targets a one-minute block time and has a maximum supply of 105,000,000 GRS, with near-zero transaction fees as a core design goal.
Groestlcoin has maintained a close technical parity with Bitcoin Core, with its development team porting major protocol upgrades as they become available. SegWit was activated on the network in January 2017, and support for Taproot and the Lightning Network, including ports of Eclair, LND, and C-Lightning, has since been added. The most recent major release, Groestlcoin Core 31.0.0, shipped on 25 April 2026, bringing it in line with Bitcoin Core v31.0 alongside Groestlcoin-specific patches. The active development team includes jackielove4u as Development Team Lead, alongside contributors Hashengineering, Kefkius, and Yokomoko. Groestlcoin has published 3,321 posts on the platform and has been mentioned by 81 accounts a total of 268 times.
