This PR adds Parallax to Chainlist.

Parallax is a new timechain protocol that merges Bitcoin’s monetary discipline with Ethereum’s programmability. It operates under Bitcoin’s fixed rules — Proof of Work, 10-minute blocks, halving cycles, and a capped 21M supply — while embedding the Ethereum Virtual Machine for smart contract execution.

Note: The goal of this submission is to lock in the chainId (2110) and networkId (2110) for Parallax. Public RPC endpoints and an explorer will be added in a later update once the mainnet is live in November.

Key properties:

  • Consensus: Proof of Work (Ethash)
  • Block Interval: 600s (10 minutes)
  • Difficulty Adjustment: Every 2016 blocks, capped by factor of 4 (Bitcoin-style)
  • Block Reward: 50 coins, halving every 210k blocks
  • Supply Cap: 21,000,000 coins
  • Execution Environment: Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM)
  • Gas Limit: ~600M per block (≈ 1M gas/sec throughput)
  • Fee Model: First-price auction (no burning)
  • Coinbase Maturity: 100 blocks

Ethos & Design Philosophy

  • No premine, no foundation allocation, no privileged accounts.
  • Launch is fully transparent: code is open-source, genesis contains no pre-deployed contracts.
  • The genesis block includes the title of a reputable news article at launch, ensuring it could not have been pre-mined.
  • Neutrality and ossification: monetary rules (21M supply, halving schedule, PoW) are immutable and cannot be altered by governance.
  • Security grounded in Proof of Work and accessibility: Ethash mining favors GPUs, promoting wider participation.
  • Positioned as an experiment in extending Bitcoin’s scarcity and neutrality into a programmable EVM environment.

@andrepatta we dont lock chain ids neither networksids
Once the chains are live , we added them, until they are live we dont add them
