Objectives

The core goal of the project is to set up a functional and production-ready(ish) cryptocurrency for our community. We will do this from scratch in C++, first developing a robust blockchain algorithm. Not only that, we will also try to make this algorithm more energy-efficient (🍀 Green coin) than most algorithms widely implemented today. The next step will be to define a currency, which is built on top of the blockchain to bring it purpose. The goal is to enable monetary transactions between peers, as close as possible to transactions using conventional currencies.

On top of this, we will dedicate 3 additional research teams for the front-end, which is the app that users will interact with, a security team to harden our implementation and an API team to enable third-parties to integrate our code easily in their applications.

XCoin's code base can be found here on GitHub.

XCoin's development is therefore organised in the following teams:

Blockchain

Security

Tasks

Networking

Currency

Front-end
