The issue of a new coin will be 1% higher than that of bitcoin, and will amount to 21 210 000 coins. Of these, 210,000 SBTC will be produced by pre-prime, that is, pre-mining. These funds will be used to develop the project and pay for the work of the team.

In recent months, the number of forks of bitcoin has increased dramatically. The creation of a new coin by splitting off the original bitcoin from the blockage is often initiated by Chinese developers and entrepreneurs. In connection with the ban on Initial Coin Offering in China, forks are used as a substitute for the prohibited method of attracting financing.
