The ICO began trading on March 20, 2014. In the Japanese internet forum, MonaCoin was first published and got approved from 2Channels network.

The capitalization of MonaCoin project:

The market capitalization as of June 2018 stood at $131.7 million. The total supply of the MonaCoin cryptocurrency (MONA) is about 117.29 million MCN, MonaCoin becomes a compelling alternative to asset starved cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin, which are losing out due to their higher processing times and costly prices.

What features does MonaCoin have?

Activation of SegWit on the MonaCoin network started signaling approval for its own ecosystem. It made it easy to move coins from LiteCoin to MonaCoin wallets after their fork. The block size of the blockchain of MonaCoin is small, which helps with the transaction rate to scale and grow in a drastic manner.

MonaCoin utilizes a proof-of-work consensus algorithm that is immune to ASIC, allowing its users control over the execution and delivery of any network improvements. Users can check transactions as well.

Litecoin’s Scrypt algorithm becomes easier to execute by using relatively inexpensive PC hardware to mine MonaCoin. It also provides the MonaCoin blockchain with greater security.

The transfer is facilitated using the Lightning Network which forms the second protocol layer. Each time a block is generated, it adjusts the level of difficulty to reduce the node load.

Advantages to have MonaCoin assets in Atomic?

Decentralization: the proof-of-work method helps all users to mine the MONA tokens. It stops major producers from being concentrated and decreases price volatility. ASIC resistance equally distributes coins and on the basis of higher processing capacity does not require users to mine coins.

Secure: As the Scrypt algorithm can be used on any personal computer with a graphics processing system, all MonaCoin users can make secure transactions.

Faster: Compared to 10 minutes in Bitcoin, MonaCoin has a block period of just 1.5 minutes. Because of the introduction of Lightning Network, the money can be sent nearly immediately, and it costs far less than in other cryptos.
