At the ecosystem's foundation, the team said they have prioritized being 'free, open, and decentralized as possible.'
Layer-1 decentralized blockchain Koinos is set to launch its mainnet on Nov. 5. It will be a free-to-use platform based on a Proof-of-Burn consensus algorithm, built to deliver more efficiency and access to developers in Web3.
Ahead of the release, Andrew Levine, co-founder and CEO of Koinos Group, explained to Cointelegraph the three key characteristics of the platform, saying"it's free-to-use, it can support any programming language , and it is highly upgradeable." He also noted: The chosen consensus algorithm refers to Satoshi's original vision of a peer-to-peer electronic cash, where everyone could participate. With Proof-of-Burn, there is no advantage to having a large stake or tons of hardware to mine. This should mean more competition between small and large miners, noted Levine, adding that:
Koinos' co-founders said they decided to build a blockchain from scratch without external capital in order to keep the project attached to the core principles in the crypto space. For the ecosystem's foundation, the platform prioritized being,"free, open, and decentralized as possible." After the mainnet is launched, however, the group said it plans a shift focus to revenue-generating products for developers.
