Frequently asked questions
What is Kryptokrona and how is it different from Bitcoin?
Kryptokrona (XKR) is a privacy-oriented cryptocurrency, whereas Bitcoin's blockchain is fully transparent — anyone can trace your balances and transactions. XKR uses privacy technology so that sender, receiver, and amount stay hidden. It also aims to be lightweight and easy to mine with regular hardware, unlike Bitcoin's industrial-scale mining.
How does Kryptokrona's technology work?
Kryptokrona is built on a CryptoNote-based codebase (forked from TurtleCoin), which means it uses ring signatures and one-time stealth addresses to obscure transaction details. The network is secured by a proof-of-work consensus, so miners validate transactions and add blocks. This design keeps payments private by default rather than as an optional feature.
How is the supply of XKR issued?
Kryptokrona has a hard cap of 1,000,000,000 (one billion) coins, so no more than that will ever exist. New coins are issued gradually as block rewards to miners. This fixed maximum gives the coin a predictable, finite supply model similar in spirit to Bitcoin's cap.
How can I store and use Kryptokrona?
You store XKR in an official Kryptokrona wallet, which is available as a desktop app and a mobile app for Android, with a web wallet as another option. From there you can send and receive private payments, and some community merchants and services accept the coin. Always download wallets only from the official project sources to avoid scams.
