Process of creating blocknet coin

Unlike cryptocurrencies like bitcoin and Ethereum which are released through the mining process using power supply and internet using the proof-of-work consensus, for blocknet coin, that is not the case. Instead, blocknet coin was created to become a proof of stake coin.During its launch, some amount of around 6 million coins were issued at bittrex exchange for Initial exchange offering. With this amount, different perticipants took part in purchasing it so that they can start taking part in minting the new coins through staking. In the staking process, there is ordinary staker and node service provider. As an ordinary staker, you can stake any amount so that your coins they take part in securing the network and validating transactions taking place on the blocknet network thus in return you be eligible to receive the 30% of the 1440 coins being minted on a daily basis. As a staker, the more your staking the more reward you will receive. On the other hand, as a node service provider, you will be required to have atleast 5000 coins in your blocknet wallet account and a 24 hour running internet. As a node service provider, you will be required to validate transactions taking place on the network thus in return you take part in the sharing of the fees generated from the transaction as the as fees income from blocknet DEX for validating buy and sell orders created over the exchange. You will also be entitled to share 70% of the new coins minted through staking. The more coins you have the more reward you will receive. Here is how blocknet coin reward minting process looks like;

Because there is no maximum limit of the capitalization of the coin, every year, 525,600 coins will be minted through staking which will be sharing between node service providers and stakers.
