Syscoin
The best of Bitcoin and Ethereum in one place.
Overview
Syscoin is a decentralized and open-source project founded in 2014. It is a dual-layer blockchain that combines the best of Bitcoin and Ethereum. The Syscoin base layer is a Bitcoin-based blockchain that is merge-mined with Bitcoin, providing a high level of security. The second layer is an Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) called Network-Enhanced Virtual Machine (NEVM), which allows for the execution of smart contracts.
✨ Key Features
- Dual-layer architecture (Bitcoin merge-mined base layer and EVM layer)
- High security
- Scalability (via NEVM)
- Low transaction fees on NEVM
- Z-DAG for fast UTXO transactions
🎯 Key Differentiators
- Merge-mined with Bitcoin for enhanced security
- Dual-chain architecture for both security and scalability
- Proprietary Z-DAG technology for fast transactions
Unique Value: Syscoin provides a unique combination of Bitcoin's security and Ethereum's smart contract capabilities, offering a robust and versatile platform for decentralized applications.
🎯 Use Cases (4)
💡 Check With Vendor
Verify these considerations match your specific requirements:
- Applications that do not require the high security of a Bitcoin merge-mined chain
🏆 Alternatives
Syscoin's merge-mining with Bitcoin provides a higher level of security compared to many other smart contract platforms. Its dual-chain architecture allows it to offer both the security of a PoW chain and the scalability of an EVM chain.
