A place to try
blockchain.
Mockchain is a small blockchain you can use with Mockcoin (MOCK), a pretend currency. Create a wallet, send a transfer, and see where it goes.
No purchase or wallet app needed.
Both balances update. The transfer stays in the chain’s history.
What’s a blockchain?
A shared record of transactions, grouped into blocks. Each block links to the one before it, forming a chain.
Those links use a fingerprint called a hash. Changing an old block changes its fingerprint, so the next link no longer matches.
Your first transfer
- 1
Create two wallets
A wallet has an address and a balance. Use one to send and the other to receive.
- 2
Get some test funds
Request 25 MOCK from the faucet—the site’s supply of test funds. Wait for them to reach your wallet.
- 3
Send a transfer
Send a little MOCK to your second wallet. The server adds it to a block, usually within about 15 seconds.
Once it’s in a block, your transfer is confirmed. You can open it in the explorer to see the record.
How Mockchain is different
Everyone here uses the same chain, run by one server. It’s a simplified way to learn the basics; it doesn’t use a network of independent computers like Bitcoin.
The funds are made up and have no monetary value. You only need a Mockchain account, never a real wallet’s private key.
