Humanity's Resilience Layer
BunkerCoin will be the first Layer 1 blockchain on radiowaves—a censorship-resistant network that operates fully independent from the internet. We anchor this groundbreaking tech with a network of physical safe havens, starting with the world's largest bunker.
How It Works
BunkerCoin operates on shortwave radio signals, creating a truly decentralized layer 1 blockchain that functions without internet infrastructure.
Radio Wave Propagation
Nodes communicate via shortwave radio with a range of 2,500-5,000 miles. Just 10-20 nodes can achieve global coverage.
Hybrid Architecture
While nodes communicate via radio, optional internet gateways allow regular users to interact with the chain using standard devices.
True Decentralization
The pinnacle of decentralization—zero dependency on ISPs, cloud providers, or any centralized infrastructure. Your assets, truly yours.
Asset Bridge
Bridge assets from Solana and other chains. Once on BunkerCoin, they're protected from any internet-based failure, and stay usable in the event of a catastrophe.
Built for Crisis
When traditional infrastructure fails, BunkerCoin ensures your assets remain accessible—no matter the catastrophe.
EMP Attacks
Hardened radio equipment can survive electromagnetic pulses that would destroy internet infrastructure.
Internet Blackouts
Authoritarian shutdowns and censorship can't stop radio waves from crossing borders.
Natural Disasters
When cell towers fall and cables break, shortwave radio continues to function.
The resilience layer for when resilience matters most.
The Inception
The concept of a blockchain operating on radio waves was originated by Anatoly Yakovenko, Co-Founder of Solana. Since 2019, he's been sharing humorous thoughts about this idea, including a playful April Fools' 2024 technical abstract.

Physical Safe Haven Network
Beyond digital resilience, we're building real-world sanctuaries for times of crisis—and we already own the world's largest bunker.
The World's Largest Bunker - We Own It
Our flagship facility covers 70,000 m² (750,000 sqft) of underground space in Halberstadt, Germany. Originally built during WWII and modernized during the Cold War to withstand nuclear attacks, this historic fortress is now fully owned by BunkerCoin.

BunkerCoin is a meme token created for entertainment and community engagement. It is not an investment opportunity, security, or real estate asset. Purchasing BunkerCoin involves high risk, including the potential total loss of your investment. Ownership of BunkerCoin does not grant rights to any property. Bunker spaces will later be available for purchase via Bunker NFTs. At least 15% of the token supply (see tokenomics), and potentially additional profits, will be reinvested into the bunker project, protocol development, and other secure locations. By purchasing BunkerCoin, you accept all associated risks and acknowledge its speculative nature.
