What it does
Grin Coin is a privacy-focused, secure (PoW) and scalable cryptocurrency that supports electronic transactions without censorship and restrictions. Grin proposes a private and lightweight blockchain, based on the Mimblewimble protocol.
Electronic transactions for all. Without censorship or restrictions. Designed for the decades to come, not just for tomorrow. To be used by anyone, anywhere. Grin is a privacy-preserving digital currency built openly by developers distributed all over the world. Grin has no amounts and no addresses. Transactions can be trivially aggregated. To hide the origin of a newly created transaction, it gets relayed among a sub-set of peers before it is widely broadcasted. Grin is not controlled by any company, foundation or individual. The coin distribution is designed to be as fair as possible, with an emission of 1 GRIN per second. Mimblewimble leverages cryptography to allow past transaction data…from grin.mw
