Community Fund Accumulation

Project lead: Alex Vazquez

The NavCoin network voted to reduce the staking reward to 4% and include 0.25 NAV per block for the Community Fund. This consensus change was activated on the 3rd of July 2018 and the Community Fund has been steadily accumulating since.

NTP Synchronisation

Project lead: Alex Vazquez

NavCoin Core now makes it mandatory to clock sync against an NTP server on launch. This was introduced to prevent stakers creating blocks with incorrect timestamps which was causing block spacing issues for the network.

Segregated Witness

Project lead: Alex Vazquez

After rebasing to Bitcoin 0.13, the NavCoin network voted on implementing SegWit transactions. The vote succeeded and SegWit was activated on 25 December 2017 and SegWit transactions can now take place on the network.

Rebase from Bitcoin 0.13

Project lead: Craig MacGregor

NavCoin Core was upgraded to align with the Bitcoin 0.13 source code to increase NavCoin’s stability, functionality and the ability to integrate with other software including the Insight API.

Hierarchical Deterministic Wallets

Project lead: Soopy452000

After rebasing the NavCoin protocol in 2016, BIP32 was implemented in NavCoin Core. Addresses are now generated deterministically from a master private key, removing the requirement to frequently back up your wallet.

Blockchain Restart

Project lead: Soopy452000

NavCoin’s blockchain was reset in May 2016 as part of a rebase to an updated blockchain format. This is why although NavCoin has been around since 2014, the genisis block of our current blockchain was mined in 2016.

More Information

Mainnet Launch

Project lead: Soopy452000

The NavCoin mainnet was launched in July 2014. NavCoin launched as a community driven project with no ICO or pre-mine. The community’s focus was on creating a privacy centric, proof of stake cryptocurrency which was fast, cheap and secure.
