Colored Coins
Specifications
Features
- Issue you own coins
Anybody can issue their own coins. It only takes a single Bitcoin transaction. The only fee you have to pay is the Bitcoin transaction fee (which can be zero), which makes Colorcore much more efficient than alternatives like XCP (about $20 to issue an asset). Also, you don't need to buy any intermediary coin (like XCP) since colored coins work directly on top of Bitcoin.
- Send and receive assets
Use your address to receive assets from other people. You can also send assets, again for the price of a standard Bitcoin transaction.
- Manage crowdfunding campaigns
Finally a way to manage a truly decentralized crowdfuding campaign. You don't have to trust a complex and limited exchange protocol, the "distribute" feature creates standard Bitcoin transactions. There is no magic behind it.
Every asset created or exchanged using Colorcore are visible on the Coinprism.info block explorer, and can be sent to a Coinprism web-wallet.
