VeriCoin (VRC) is an innovative and intuitive currency, that features it’s own protocol. Launched in May of 2014, VeriCoin is a Proof-of-Stake-Time currency with a disinflation targeted interest rate which is dependent on the degree of staking. Stake-Time is a new proof that favors both number the number of coins held and how often they are staked. Together these features make VeriCoin top in security and incentive. Launched in May, VeriCoin is a proof-of-stake altcoin that features a variable interest rate which fluctuates depending on how many coins are staking. As more coins are used to stake and support the network, the interest rate climbs.

The Proof of Stake-Time (PoST) the VRC uses now is a novel approach to forming a consensus by introducing a stake-time component, where the probability to stake decreases over time. This better incentivizes staking and enhances the security of the network. It also enhances the decentralization of the consensus, well beyond current standards. The practical range of disinflation is between 1.5-2.5% and the practical range of interest is between 2-10%.
