Mintcoin $MINT

MintCoin is a hybrid cryptocurrency coin that utilizes both Proof of Work (POW) and Proof of Stake (POS) mechanisms. This innovative coin aims to secure its place as a leading secure and energy-efficient cryptocoin in the market. MintCoin stands out with its fast POW distribution mechanism and after a period of 5 weeks, it transitions to a pure POS coin. This transition ensures energy efficiency and less dependency on resource-intensive mining rigs.

Operation Mechanism

MintCoin now operates completely on a 100% Proof-of-Stake system, which secures the network. Post the year 2016, stakers receive a fixed 5% indefinitely as a reward for securing the network. This unique approach helps in maintaining network security and incentivises participation.

POS Variable Interests

MintCoin has introduced a variable interest system for the Proof of Stake mechanism. Below is the annual interest breakdown based on the year:

1st year: 20%

2nd year: 15%

3rd year: 10%

4th and subsequent years: 5%
