Description
Scala is a secure, private, and mobile-friendly cryptocurrency project focused on financial privacy. It utilizes the CryptoNote protocol for anonymous, untraceable, and unlinkable transactions, and links IPFS and other distributed technologies to build a globally scalable ecosystem. Its custom proof-of-work algorithm, Panthera, is optimized for CPU and mobile (ARM) architectures, allowing users to mine its coin, XLA, on various devices. The network is secured by notary nodes and uses a distributed network (IPFS, LMDB) for hosting node lists and checkpoints. Scala's vision is to distribute wealth for everyone and every device, emphasizing mobile-friendly, energy-efficient, and user-friendly applications. The project also includes a content delivery network called Scala Share for secure file sharing and a community contribution system for development.
