Koinos is a blockchain under development with a few distinct goals:
- Koinos Blockchain Framework
- fee-less transactions (Mana Whitepaper)
- multi language support
- upgrades without hard forks
- proof of burn consensus (Consensus Whitepaper)
The 3rd iteration of the Koinos testnet is now available for testing. It is now possible to start developping apps for mainnet based on testnet V3. The basic architecture will be the same down the road.

Stake percentage held by account type over time:
| Whale Domination % | Investor % | Retail % |
|---|---|---|
| 28.03 | 52.33 | 19.65 |
Number of wallets holding Koin sorted by whale, investor and retail:
| # Whales | # Investors | # Retail |
|---|---|---|
| 16 | 191 | 2994 |
Koin distribution across accounts:
| Max | Mean | 3rd Quartile | Median | 1st Quartile |
