Pure (PURE)

Pure is a mineable coin with its own blockchain, so in that sense it's a close relative of Bitcoin. The key difference is the consensus: instead of mining only, Pure runs a hybrid of Proof-of-Work and Proof-of-Stake. That means you can back the network with computing power or simply with the coins you hold.

Each block on the Pure chain can be created in one of two ways: a miner wins the Proof-of-Work race by supplying computing power, or a staker gets selected to sign a block based on the coins they keep in a staking wallet. Both mechanisms secure the same ledger side by side. It effectively spreads network security across hardware owners and coin holders at the same time.

All new PURE enters circulation as block rewards — coins paid to whoever produces the next block. Because the consensus is hybrid, emission is shared between miners and stakers rather than flowing to miners alone. The reward rules are written into the protocol itself, and you can always check the current parameters in the official wallet or on purealt.org.

The main tool is the official Pure wallet from purealt.org: since PURE lives on its own blockchain, that's where you store it, and the same wallet handles staking when kept running. Beyond holding, PURE works like any cryptocurrency — you can send it peer-to-peer or trade it on exchanges where it's listed. For wallet downloads and setup instructions, the official site is the source to trust.
