Evolution of Top-10 Coins in CoinMarketCap’s History (2013-2023)

## What Is MaidSafeCoin (MAID)?
MaidSafeCoin is a proxy token that supports the development of the <a href="#what-makes-the-safe-network-unique">SAFE Network</a> and allows pre-purchase of its native currency: Safe Network Tokens. 

After the Network is complete, MaidSafeCoins can be swapped 1-for-1 with Safe Network Tokens.

MaidSafeCoin is available on both the Omni protocol (MAID) and Ethereum ERC20 protocol (eMAID).

<h3 id="what-makes-the-safe-network-unique">What makes the SAFE Network Unique?</h3>
The SAFE Network utilises the spare capacity of everyday Internet connected devices to form an autonomous data networking layer which allows for decentralised, secure, privacy-preserving communications and storage.

It's designed to give people complete sovereignty over their personal data, yet still allowing rich and scalable software platforms, business solutions, and user experiences to be built on top. 

The SAFE Network also gives individuals and businesses the opportunity for financial stability by trading their resources, products, content, and creativity without the need for middlemen—in large part thanks to a flexible and highly performant economic system based on Digital Bearer Certificates; a system which also paves the way for a new generation of crypto currency technologies.
  
### How Is the SAFE Network Secured?
Rather than using blockchain, the SAFE Network extends peer-to-peer and distributed hash table technology, forming consensus from decisions amongst small self-governing groups of devices—or nodes.

Data uploaded to the Network is split into chunks, encrypted and randomly distributed amongst these nodes, which must reliably store and serve this data over an extended period before being rewarded. Proof-of-Resource rather than Proof-of-Work.

Rewards are paid to nodes in the form of <a href="#what-are-safe-network-tokens">Safe Network Tokens</a>, which can be spent on Network services such as data storage, transferred as payments, or exchanged for other currencies. 


## How Many MaidSafeCoins Are There in Circulation?
There are 452,552,412 MaidSafeCoins in circulation. This represents 10% of the total supply of Safe Network Tokens available over time after Network launch.
<h3 id="what-are-safe-network-tokens">What are Safe Network Tokens?</h3>
Safe Network Tokens are the currency of the SAFE Network; a utility token that can be spent on Network services, and allow for those contributing resources to be automatically rewarded.

The technology that underpins this—based on decentralised Digital Bearer Certificates—provides for advanced digital currency features: fast, scaleable, and private transactions with no fees, and even offline capabilities. 

So not only will these power the economic incentives of the SAFE Network, they offer a platform for a new generation of digital currencies and monetary services.
 
## Who Are the Founders of MaidSafe?
MaidSafe are the team behind the SAFE Network, and the core developers of its protocol. 

Founded by engineer David Irvine, work began on the project in 2006 with a team based in Scotland. A crowd funding round followed in 2014, and with it MaidSafeCoin.

The project is still headquartered in Scotland, but with a a global team of thinkers, inventors, tinkerers, PhDs, engineers and designers. The mission? To provide security and privacy for everyone.

Hifi (formerly Mainframe) is a Lending Protocol that allows anyone to borrow against their crypto. Hifi uses a bond-like instrument, representing an on-chain obligation that settles on a specific future date. Buying and selling the tokenized debt enables fixed-rate, fixed term lending and borrowing — something much needed in decentralized finance today. It is anticipated that a ticker symbol change will occur alongside future iterations on the Hifi Lending Protocol.

Mainframe Token (MFT) is the native utility token that is used for:

Governance votes

Staking to ensure the safety of the protocol

Rewarding contributors to the ecosystem

What can you do with the Hifi Lending Protocol:

Borrow:  Lock collateral in a vault to mint fixed-rate, fixed-term debt tokens.  These debt tokens can be swapped for instant liquidity allowing users to leverage long, yield farm, or pursue other strategic trades without selling their collateral tokens.

Lend:  Buy fixed-rate, fixed-term debt tokens for a discount.  When the term expires they can be redeemed for face value, earning lenders a predictable return on their investment.

Provide Liquidity:  Earn trading fees by providing liquidity between debt tokens and stablecoins on an Automated Market Maker (AMM).

ABBC is a blockchain platform that enables secure payment transactions, helping to facilitate retail adoption of cryptocurrencies and make shopping online with digital assets a safer, more enjoyable experience for end-users.

The platform offers three main products: a multi-platform wallet capable of supporting Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH), in addition to a variety of other native cryptocurrencies and ERC-20 tokens; an online shopping application that can be used to shop at over 50 online retailers with cryptocurrencies; and a cryptocurrency exchange platform that offers secure trading and low transaction fees.

The ABBC Coin was created to give holders the ability to govern the development of the ABBC platform by delegating voting power to chosen block producers (BPs) — who are then able to vote on governance proposals. These governance proposals can be on a range of topics but might include launching strategic partnerships, implementing new features or expanding ABBC's services to new regions. Beyond this, ABBC Coins were created as a reward system for online shoppers and can be staked for regular rewards.

ABBC is currently based on the EOSIO blockchain, which enables it to achieve up to 5,000 transactions per second (TPS) while remaining environmentally friendly due to its energy-efficient delegated proof-of-stake (DPoS) consensus mechanism.

ABBC Coin was initially known as Alibabacoin but changed its name in March 2019 following a dispute with Chinese multinational e-commerce giant Alibaba.

Haven Protocol is similar to an offshore bank where users can create private tokens that represent stable and volatile assets, including commodities and fiat currencies (such as USD). The protocol is based on Monero, which focuses on secure, private and untraceable transactions.

As a result, most of the features of Monero extend to the Haven protocol, including the bulletproofs and other privacy tech. The base currency of Haven is the XHV, which is burnt to provide users with private, untraceable, synthetic assets and commodities called xAssets.

The network uses a “mint and burn” process to provide users with untraceable digital assets with standard market pricing and real asset-pegged value storage. Simply, users can burn Haven (XHV) for Haven Dollars (xUSD), which is a synthetic stablecoin.

The Bitcoin Standard Hashrate Token (BTCST) was launched on Binance Smart Chain (BSC) on Dec. 13, 2020. It is collateralized by Bitcoin’s (BTC) hashrate, with each token representing 0.1 TH/s of Bitcoin mining power at an efficiency of 60 W/TH. As such, miners contribute their computational power to the platform in exchange for newly minted BTCST tokens.

BTCST’s goal is to bridge liquidity to Bitcoin’s mining market. This will allow users to get exposure to mining rewards and hashpower of any size, at a low cost. The ultimate goal of the app is to increase the liquidity and efficiency of mining power markets.

BitShares Blockchain is a decentralized “Blockchain as Organization” (BaO); an industrial-grade decentralized open source platform built to run high-performance financial technology operations. It represents the first decentralized autonomous decentralized community that enables its core utility token (BTS) holders to decide the Blockchain future direction in order to develop and maintain a wide range of decentralized financial technology products, features and functions. BitShares Blockchain is a Blockchain that permanently records financial technology operations between different Blockchain accounts and facilitates a wide range of access controls across BitShares Blockchain user financial means.

BitShares Blockchain is a technology that supports the digital generation entrepreneurs, investors, and developers with a common interest in building and participating in free market solutions by leveraging the power of globally decentralized consensus and decision making. Consensus technology has the power to do for economics what the internet did for information. It can harness the combined power of all humanity to coordinate the discovery and aggregation of real-time knowledge, previously unobtainable. This knowledge can be used to more effectively coordinate the allocation of resources toward their most productive and valuable use.

BitShares looks to extend the innovation of the Blockchain to all industries that rely upon the internet to provide their services. Whether its banking, stock exchanges, lotteries, voting, music, auctions or many others, a digital public ledger allows for the creation of distributed autonomous companies (or BaO) that provide better quality services at a fraction of the cost incurred by their more traditional, centralized counterparts. The advent of (BaO) ushers in a new paradigm in organizational structure in which companies can run without any human management and under the control of an incorruptible set of business rules. These rules are encoded in publicly auditable open source software distributed across the computers of the companies’ shareholders, who effortlessly secure the company from arbitrary control. BitShares does for business what bitcoin did for money by utilizing distributed consensus technology to create companies that are inherently global, transparent, trustworthy, efficient and most importantly profitable.

BitShares has went through many changes and has done its best to stay on top of Blockchain technology. BitShares is using Consensus as the mechanism by which organized people decide upon unitary rational action. While not considered technology in the traditional since, consensus “technology” is the basis of democratic governance and the coordination of free market activity first coined by Adam Smith as the “Invisible Hand.” The process of consensus decision-making allows for all participants to consent upon a resolution of action even if not the favored course of action for each individual participant. Bitcoin was the first system to integrate a fully decentralized consensus method with the modern technology of the internet and peer-to-peer networks in order to more efficiently facilitate the transfer of value through electronic communication. The proof-of-work structure that secures and maintains the Bitcoin network is one manner of organizing individuals who do not necessarily trust one another to act in the best interest of all participants of the network. The BitShares ecosystem employs Delegated Proof of Stake in order to find efficient solutions to distributed consensus decision making.
