Description

Originally launched as 'Navcoin' in 2014, the project rebranded to 'Navio' in 2024. It is a decentralized, open-source cryptocurrency and privacy-centric blockchain platform that operates on a peer-to-peer network without a central authority. It features fast (30-second confirmation) and energy-efficient transactions through its Proof of Stake mechanism. The platform's core is the Navio ecosystem, which utilizes the innovative blsCT protocol and the world's first Proof-of-Private-Stake (PoPS) consensus to ensure all transactions are private by default. This enables features like private tokens, private NFTs, and private dApps, facilitating anonymous payments and a truly untraceable blockchain experience. The project is community-driven, with development accessible via its GitHub repository and support available through its Discord community.
