What is Koinos (KOIN)?

Source description

“What is Koinos (KOIN)? Koinos is a developer centric open source project that leverages blockchain technology to provide a robust smart contract platform where holders have ownership over the network. Originally conceived in 2020, Koinos was officially launched November 5th, 2022 by Koinos Group, a US company. To learn more about this project, check out koinos.io. Unlike other blockchains, on Koinos holding $KOIN gives you the right to utilize a portion of the network without sacrificing your cryptocurrency to transaction fees. Rather than paying a transaction fee, your $KOIN is temporarily locked and gradually unlocked over time. This mechanism is referred to as mana because it mimics the user experience of a video game. You can learn more about mana on the official documentation. The Koinos protocol is designed to facilitate decentralized app (DApp) creation and it aims to improve decentralization by introducing a Proof-of-Burn (PoB) consensus algorithm. Learn more about Proof-of-Burn on the official documentation. Because of its innovative resource management, Koinos enjoys interest from Web3 enthusiasts seeking the next generation of blockchain user experience (UX). A significant focus for the Koinos network is to bring a Web 2.0 experience to Web3. What makes Koinos unique? The Koinos blockchain has several features that differentiate it from other smart contract platforms. These include forkless upgrades, the mana system, smart wallet support and the Proof-of-Burn consensus algorithm. Because the core business logic of Koinos is implemented via smart contracts, core functionality can be upgraded without the use of hard forks.”

Koinos (KOIN) FAQ

How does Koinos’s mana system handle network access without conventional transaction fees?

Koinos describes mana as a resource-management system in which users temporarily lock KOIN rather than pay a conventional transaction fee. The locked amount gradually unlocks over time, and the project states that holding more KOIN provides access to a larger portion of network capacity while allowing the mana pool to regenerate more quickly. This is presented as a way to make blockchain use feel more familiar to users of mainstream applications.

What are forkless upgrades on Koinos, and how are they governed?

The project states that much of Koinos’s core business logic is implemented through smart contracts. As a result, some protocol enhancements can be made by replacing those contracts and passing a governance vote, rather than requiring a hard fork. Koinos presents this approach as a way to evolve the network more quickly, while also acknowledging that hard forks could still be needed for critical bugs or major performance changes.

How does Koinos use account abstraction and smart wallets?

Koinos describes accounts and smart contracts as using the same underlying model: an account can have a smart contract associated with it. This means account abstraction is built into the protocol rather than added separately. The project also presents a Turing-complete authority system that can support different approaches to transaction payment, contract calls, and smart-contract-controlled account upgrades, including smart-wallet-style functionality.

How does Koinos’s Proof-of-Burn consensus work?

Koinos states that block producers burn KOIN in exchange for Virtual Hash Power, or VHP, which functions similarly to hash power in a Proof-of-Work system. Greater VHP is described as increasing the likelihood of producing a valid block. The project also claims that this design avoids dependence on local electricity costs and requires KOIN to be burned for block production or participation in governance.

How is KOIN’s supply described after the Koinos mainnet launch?

The project describes KOIN as having been fairly launched, with roughly 100 million tokens mined over about a year to establish initial balances at mainnet launch on November 5, 2022. It states that the supply is dynamic because KOIN is continually burned to secure the network. The project characterizes the tokenomics, in simplified terms, as 2% annual inflation with a 50% target burn rate.
