eCurrency Aims to Revolutionize Digital Payments with Fixed Supply Blockchain

eCurrency is a Layer-1 blockchain designed specifically for digital payments, with a fixed supply of 333,333,333 ECR tokens. The network has been operating in production since 2018 and prioritizes predictable settlement, low cost, and security that adapts to evolving computing power.

The protocol uses UTXO-native Proof-of-Stake consensus with 10-second block intervals, ensuring fast transaction processing and a fixed supply of ECR tokens. This eliminates inflation and dilutes token holders' value.

eCurrency supports programmable payments through client-side smart contracts, which run on the client's side and are verified by the network. This approach keeps the chain lean and efficient.

The network aims to reduce costs associated with cross-border transactions, which currently average 6.36% according to the World Bank's Remittance Prices Worldwide database. eCurrency seeks to deliver low, predictable fees and fast settlement on an open network.

eCurrency separates itself from major Layer-1 networks by using Falcon digital signatures, which are resistant to quantum attacks and include compact signatures and fast verification suitable for high-throughput payment networks.
