What is Encointer? ($ENCOINTER)

Encointer is a blockchain platform for local community cryptocurrencies. Individuals can claim a universal basic income through issuance of fresh money. Money supply is kept in proportion to population size through the use of demurrage. Sybil attacks are prevented by regular, concurrent and randomised pseudonym key signing parties to obtain a proof-of-personhood. Encointer features privacy by design and purchasing-power adjusted transaction fees.

Encointer provides a way to remove barriers to inclusion in Web3 networks that could be especially helpful for localised financial services. By creating a decentralised, unique identity system that is not reliant on any central authority, it could provide access for those currently excluded from the financial system; and by enabling the creation of tokens geared toward local purchasing power, fees can be tailored to user income levels.

By connecting to Encointer with OnFinality’s API endpoints, builders will be able to:
