Epic Cash is the final point in the journey toward true P2P internet cash, the cornerstone of a private financial system. The Epic currency aims to become the world’s most effective privacy-protecting form of digital money. In order to fulfill that goal, it satisfies the three principal functions of money:
- Store of Value – can be saved, retrieved, and exchanged at a later time, and of predictable value when retrieved.
- Medium of Exchange – anything accepted as representing a standard of value and exchangeable for goods or services.
- Unit of Account – the unit by which the value of a thing is accounted for and compared.
| $ USD | BTC | EPIC | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Store of Value | ❌ | ✔️ | ✔️ |
| Medium of Exchange | ✔️ | ❌ | ✔️ |
| Unit of Account | ✔️ | ❌ | ✔️ |
Epic Cash is an in-progress implementation of the MimbleWimble protocol. Epic Cash redefined new core characteristics of this new privacy-focused blockchain forked from Grin, following constitute the first set of choices:
- Block rewards epoch & total supply to match Bitcoin
- Support diversity of mining hash powers using a combination of algorithms
- Clean and minimal implementation, and aims to stay as such.
- Follows the MimbleWimble protocol, which provides great anonymity and scaling characteristics.
- Cuckoo Cycle proof of work with the CuckAToo31+ (ASIC-targeted).
- Relatively fast block time: one minute.
- Transaction fees are based on the number of Outputs created/destroyed and the total transaction size.
- Smooth curve for difficulty adjustments.
