Key characteristics
- Native RVN asset: used to pay network fees and create or transfer assets according to protocol rules.
- Proof-of-work network: Ravencoin uses mining consensus with the KAWPOW algorithm, separate from SHA-256.
- Asset function: the protocol emphasizes issuing, transferring and tracking digital assets directly on-chain.
Use cases and ecosystem
- Tokenisation: creating assets that represent digital objects, communities, rights or application use cases depending on available projects.
- Market tracking: monitoring RVN, volumes, blocks, hashrate, assets, transactions and fees through explorers and crypto dashboards.
- Infrastructure: wallets, nodes, community documentation, explorers and official repositories for analysing or integrating the network.
Consensus and security
Ravencoin security depends on proof-of-work mining, hashrate, miner distribution, nodes, wallets, software upgrades and operational practices. Users should verify software, addresses and assets before interacting.
Fees and performance
Fees and timing on Ravencoin vary with network activity, transaction size, asset-related operations, wallet and current parameters. Real-world costs should be checked at time of use.
