The Ravencoin protocol is based on a fork of the original Bitcoin blockchain that can be used to issue various tokens on its network with versatile applications. The blockchain offers a convenient way to issue security tokens in a matter of minutes and trade them globally.
The Ravencoin blockchain is not only more versatile but is also far more efficient than the Bitcoin network. It has a lower block time of 1 minute against Bitcoin’s 10 minutes, offers higher block rewards, and leverages a more efficient consensus mechanism than Bitcoin’s Proof of Work algorithm.
In addition, the open-source network also powers instant peer-to-peer payments worldwide at high speeds and low costs. The Ravencoin project believes in true decentralization - none of their coins have been pre-mined, the developers have held no initial coin offering (ICO) at the time of launch, and none of the coins have been held back as rewards for the project’s developers and founders.
RVN is the native cryptocurrency of the Ravencoin blockchain. It can be mined by validators who contribute to verifying transactions and producing new blocks in the network, contributing to the consensus mechanism and security of the blockchain. It also functions as the incentive token within the Ravencoin ecosystem.
