Mixin Network
As the challenge of Blockchain scalability continues to handicap cryptocurrencies ascension to mainstream adoption, an industry wide arms race has been launched to produce a distributed ledger capable of achieving faster transaction speeds without compromising security or decentralization. Although solutions like the Lightning Network, Raiden and Plasma currently lead the way, they still haven’t been proven to be the definitive solution for achieving true scalability.
In response to this, the Mixin Network brings to market a multilayered platform built to enhance the speed, privacy and security of transactions between digital assets across multiple distributed ledgers.
Mixin provides a messenger app — ‘Mixin Messenger’, where users can store cryptocurrencies in their wallet, and perform lightening fast peer-to-peer transactions between contacts. Developers can also build new Dapps on top of the Mixin Networks infrastructure.
With bold claims of over a billion transactions per second, 0% transaction fees, and an infrastructure for cross chain Dapp development; Mixin is positioning itself to be the dominant solution to the blockchain scalability problem.

How it works
The Mixin Network is composed of different high performance distributed ledgers, with the core ledger called the ‘Kernel’, and the supporting ledgers called ‘domains’ and ‘domain extensions’.
Domains are gateways that feed assets from Bitcoin, Ethereum, other Blockchains, and even central banks into the kernel. The kernel is responsible for verifying and governing the assets and their transactions.
Domain extensions are the distributed ledgers that store Ethereum, EOS and other blockchain smart contracts and trusted applications.
Mixin Kernel
The Kernel is a core component of the Mixin network. It uses a directed acyclic graph design to scale digital asset transactions.
A directed acyclic graph (or DAG) is a structure consisting of nodes that are connected to each other in a non-linear pattern. With DAG’s, information is dispersed using a ‘gossip protocol’ across multiple nodes simultaneously, allowing consensus on transactions to be achieved faster.
Consensus Protocol
The Mixin Kernel distributed ledger uses a proof of stake consensus protocol. Kernel Nodes stake at least 10,000 XIN as collateral in exchange for the ability to validate transactions on the Kernel distributed ledger.
Each Mixin Kernel Node represents 10,000 XIN, which is approximate 2% of the network stake. The Kernel can only operate with at least 7 nodes joined, which is about 15% of the whole networks stake.
Privacy
For privacy, Mixin kernel uses a 1-time key generation algorithm, which allows the system to generate a ‘ghost address’ that can be discarded after each transaction a user makes.
Mixin Domain
The Mixin domain communicates with the kernel via system calls.
In order for an external asset (from the Bitcoin blockchain for example) to become associated with the Mixin kernel, a Mixin public key is first produced to connect with the domain, and then an asset specific public key (i.e a Bitcoin public key) is produced to connect the asset to the Mixin Kernel. If someone wants to send funds from their Bitcoin wallet to the Mixin network, the domain will create a transaction to the Mixin public key, and the Mixin kernel will verify the transaction.
Mixin Domain Extension
The Mixin domain extensions enable users to setup ‘smart contracts’ from a single computational unit (i.e your laptop or iPhone). These smart contracts are higher performing and more robust than those currently offered on the Ethereum blockchain.
XIN Token
XIN tokens are the main token used in the network. Like Bitcoin and Ethereum, the token is paid to those who support the network by validating transactions. XIN tokens are also staked in the proof of stake consensus protocol (at least 10,000 XIN tokens must be staked to join the network as a full node).
The Mixin Network also connects to different Dapps using API calls. These Dapps pay the network in XIN tokens based on the amount of resources the Dapp consumes.
