What is Symbol (XYM)?
As a protocol, it is distinguished by a consensus method that aims to favourably benefit chain users over wealth hoarders. Its architecture as a system, as opposed to opcodes in a deterministic virtual machine, extends functionality through system-level plugins.
These two features sum up Symbols' design ethos - a user-first, service-orientated approach.
A decentralized blockchain platform of the future, Symbol (XYM) enables users to link businesses to the blockchain. This chain is intended to act as a reliable, secure network for corporate value exchange.
The first version of Symbol was released in 2021 and was developed by the NEM organization, which had previously run an eponymous blockchain that is fuelled by its XEM token. The main purpose of Symbol is to facilitate the creation of tools, tokens, and DApps. The ability to vote on suggestions pertaining to the system's future is also available to those who own XYM. Additionally, the cryptocurrency can be staked in exchange for rewards that are paid out in XYM. On several cryptocurrency exchanges, the coin can also be purchased, sold, and traded.
Symbol aims to address issues present in EVM-based platforms and omnichain solutions, such as the fact that security is frequently defined at the smart-contract level (as opposed to the network-wide level), that L2 validators are centralized and unincentivized, and that central client teams - than a free and open market—decide on new features and functionality.
In Korea and Japan, there is a cult following for Symbol.
