About Bitcoin

The Basics of Bitcoin

Bitcoin is the world’s oldest cryptocurrency. It was originally conceived in 2008 by Satoshi Nakamoto. A year later, Bitcoin was launched, and after 14 years, the asset reached a market cap with a high-water mark of more than $1 trillion. In simple terms, Bitcoin is an online system of computers powered by blockchain technology that stores and processes financial data. All connected devices (called nodes) host a digital ledger with Bitcoin’s complete history of transactions.

Tokenomics

Bitcoin (BTC) has a capped supply of 21 million tokens. The BTC halving schedule, the rate at which new BTC is created, is cut in half roughly every 4 years. At launch, 50 new BTC were generated per block every 10 minutes. After going through three additional halving events, currently 6.25 new BTC are generated every 10 minutes.

About Ethereum

The Basics of Ethereum

Ethereum is the second-largest cryptocurrency by market cap, and goes hand in hand with Bitcoin when studying blockchain technology. Although complex, Ethereum can be summarized in only a few words: a smart contract ecosystem. Smart contracts are an emerging technology that enables users and developers alike to interact on a blockchain network in a decentralized manner without requiring trust. Having the ability to execute a transaction based on preimposed rules is what makes Ethereum so versatile and long-lasting.

Tokenomics

The more total Ethereum (ETH) that is staked, the higher the system-wide ETH issuance rate. There is no current capped supply and the current mining reward per block is 2 ETH + priority fees contained within the block. ETH rewards are distributed on a sliding scale based on the total amount staked on the network. Per the ETH Foundation, if 30% of the network staked their ETH, that would result in approximately 3% annual inflation.

About Chainlink (LINK)

The Basics of Chainlink

Chainlink is a blockchain protocol operating a decentralized oracle network (DON) that seeks to bridge the gap between on-chain and off-chain systems. The project accomplishes this by creating oracles that connect to companies or blockchains via API and deliver real-time price data.

Tokenomics

Chainlink (LINK) is used as a payment token to pay node operators for providing oracle services. It’s also used as a work token to be staked by node operators as collateral to provide oracle services. Initial supply is capped at 1 billion LINK tokens, with 35% going to investors, 35% reserved as incentives for network participants, and 30% allocated to LINK’s parent company.

About Litecoin (LTC)

The Basics of Litecoin

Litecoin is one of the oldest cryptocurrencies and one of the first altcoins after Bitcoin.  LTC was developed to deliver fast, secure, and low-cost payments. Created by Charlie Lee, a former Google Engineer in 2011, Litecoin is an open-source project that uses proof of work to verify transactions.

Tokenomics

Litecoin (LTC) has a capped supply of 84 million tokens. Initially, a new block was generated every 2.5 minutes providing miners with 12.5 LTC in block rewards. Similar to Bitcoin, Litecoin block rewards are halved every 840,000 blocks (approximately 4 years). To date, there have been two halvings: August 2015, August 2019. The next halving is scheduled for August 2023.
