What is a Genesis Block?

The Genesis Block is the very first block in a blockchain. It’s where the entire network begins—block #0—the foundation for all future transactions and records.

In most blockchains, coins are gradually created over time through mining or staking. But Xcoin does it differently.

Xcoin’s Approach: 21 Million Coins in the Genesis Block

Xcoin mines 100% of its supply—21 million coins—at launch, in the Genesis Block. This is called a premined fixed supply, and it’s done for a very specific reason:

Why Premining All Coins at Genesis?

  • No Inflation — New coins will never be created later.
    → What exists now is all that will ever exist.
  • No Mining Rewards or Staking Games — Xcoin doesn’t rely on miners or stakers.
    → Validators earn only transaction fees, not free coins.
  • Fair and Transparent Distribution — Everyone knows the total supply from day one.
    → No secret emissions, no hidden wallets, no whales.
  • Eco-Friendly — No Proof-of-Work means no energy waste.
    → The network is green from the start.
  • Stable Economic Model — Fixed supply creates scarcity, helps price discovery, and prevents inflation-based manipulation.

Why It Matters

Most crypto projects slowly release coins over years—often favoring insiders, miners, or early stakers. Xcoin flips that model:

  • All coins exist from day one.
  • The rules never change.
  • The community governs how coins are used—not the protocol.

The Genesis Block is where Xcoin begins—
and where all 21 million coins are born.

No inflation. No tricks. Just a clean, honest launch.
