Welcome to the Krypton project
What is Krypton?Krypton is a community-driven, privacy first cryptocurrency project with a main focus on decentralization, scalability and fungibility. There will never be an ICO, IEO, airdrop, premine or any other funded payments.
Amidst all the hype around crypto projects in 2017, a small group of tech enthusiasts saw the potential of blockchain, but also saw the risks and dangers that came with the untenable promises made by hype-driven ICO-funded projects. Fast forward to 2019 and the crypto ecosystem has sufficiently matured for this group to bring together their ideas and to begin working on their vision of a community-driven privacy coin. This small core team started to mine ZOD on 15 th of August 2019 to ensure chain stability, up to block 5000. After that, everything went live to the community.
Krypton’s vision?Krypton aims to be a fully decentralized project. Everyone is invited to participate, to contribute and to share in the success of Krypton. But what does Krypton stand for?
1. Fast TransactionsA new block is mined every 60 seconds, which is 10x faster than Bitcoin. This allows for very quick transactions and makes it highly suitable for use in applications such as a payment coin.
2. PrivacyKrypton has the same privacy features as Monero or Bytecoin. Every transaction is private by default.
3. Easy To MineKrypton uses the well-known Cryptonite lite v1 algorithm and comes with a CPU miner built into the wallet. It can also be mined on a GPU using popular mining software such as xm-rig and xmr-stak. There is a community mining pool dedicated to Krypton.
4. CommunityWe welcome everyone to our community. From developers looking to contribute to the code, to tech enthusiasts who see the potential of such a project. Even people just looking for a community of like-minded individuals to share their ideas with are welcome to join.
5. SupportConnect with us through Telegram or GitHub. If you have any comments or suggestions or just want to chat, then please get in touch.
How can I contribute to Krypton?Krypton is 100% community-driven. We are a small team whose aim is to grow our vision and scale up as our community expands. We welcome any and all contributions. We are open to every input and suggestion. As this project is open-source, anyone can take part, be it marketing, development, or even looking after the community. The success of this project depends greatly on active participation and involvement from an enthusiast community. As a reminder, this is a community-driven project with no dev-fund or pre-mine. The team is not in a position to fund listings or other services.
