Syscoin uniquely integrates the most robust elements of Bitcoin and Ethereum within a unified platform. Its layer 1 consensus is rooted in Bitcoin's SHA-256 PoW model, enabling merged mining with Bitcoin. This allows miners to mine both BTC and SYS simultaneously at no additional cost. When comparing Syscoin's hashrate to Bitcoin's, it typically reflects that over 50% of Bitcoin's hashrate also mines Syscoin, supported by several prominent Bitcoin pools. Syscoin enhances decentralized finality atop the Nakamoto consensus, effectively mitigating the risks associated with 51% attacks typically linked with PoW while maintaining the fundamental Nakamoto consensus. Additionally, Syscoin is a modular layer 1 that accommodates both optimistic and ZK rollups, offering them a cost-effective, censorship-resistant data availability service known as PoDA. The first layer 2 constructed on Syscoin is Rollux, a fork of Optimism and an EVM-equivalent optimistic rollup launched by SYS Labs on June 28, 2023. Rollux is the main growth area for Syscoin's ecosystem, providing scalability with swift and low-cost user experiences. In summary, Syscoin's current technology effectively delivers what Ethereum aims to achieve in the future with its modular roadmap, including data availability, while preserving Bitcoin's Proof-of-Work. The network employs incentivized full nodes (masternodes) to facilitate multi-quorum chainlocks for finality. For detailed information on the incentives and requirements for operating a Syscoin masternode, visit sysnode.info. Regarding Syscoin's overall layer 1 architecture, it is dual-chain with a modular, rollup-centric design. This architecture comprises an Ethereum-based blockchain named Network Enhanced Virtual Machine (NEVM), launched on December 6, 2021, which is compatible with any smart contracts or rollups created for Ethereum. The second component, Syscoin UTXO or "Syscoin Native", is a Bitcoin-based blockchain supporting taproot, data availability, a token platform accommodating ordinals, both fungible and non-fungible tokens, a proprietary DAG protocol known as Z-DAG, among other features. This architecture empowers users and developers to harness the strengths of each "gold standard" model (Bitcoin and Ethereum), fostering new synergies between them, such as PoDA, when beneficial. Both Syscoin blockchains, along with Rollux, utilize SYS as their native currency. SYS is a utility-focused coin based on EIP-1559. SYS holders can transfer SYS between these chains via the Syscoin Bridge and the Rollux Portal.

Syscoin (SYS) serves as the indigenous token for the Syscoin platform. Its tokenomics adopt Ethereum’s EIP-1559 proposal, featuring an unlimited maximum supply. The supply of SYS is regulated through protocol emission and the deflationary burning of transaction fees. As of the latest update, Syscoin’s circulating supply stood at 751,391,717 SYS.

Syscoin is available for purchase and trading on a variety of cryptocurrency exchanges, such as Binance, MEXC Global, KuCoin, Bitmart, Huobi, and Gate.io. Interested in monitoring live SYS prices? Download the Eulerpool mobile app.

Pali Wallet is Syscoin's proprietary Web3 wallet, designed to be open-source, self-custodial, and compatible with multiple blockchain networks. It is accessible as a browser plugin via the Chrome Store and can be downloaded for mobile devices from Google Play and the Apple App Store. Syscoin offers a comprehensive selection of wallets, including mobile, browser, desktop, and hardware wallets. In addition to Pali, Syscoin is compatible with Metamask, Klever Wallet, among others. Syscoin primarily endorses the Pali Wallet browser extension as it supports all Syscoin networks (UTXO, NEVM, and Rollux) and delivers a seamless user experience. In contrast, other wallets may have limited compatibility with Syscoin chains. For instance, Metamask only supports Syscoin NEVM and Rollux.
