About Grin

Grin (GRIN) is a community-driven open-source implementation of the MimbleWimble blockchain protocol, focusing on privacy, minimal design, and fair launch. Unlike Beam (which has company backing), Grin has no premine, no ICO, no founders' reward — pure community development. Grin emits exactly 1 GRIN per second forever, creating an inflationary supply that ensures miners are perpetually rewarded. MimbleWimble makes Grin transactions private and non-traceable, with the blockchain staying compact through cut-through. Grin's philosophy draws from early Bitcoin cypherpunk values.

How to Swap GRIN

Exchanging Grin (GRIN) on SyntheticSwap requires no account creation or identity documents. Open SyntheticSwap, choose GRIN as your source or target coin, provide your destination wallet address, and review the floating rate displayed. After sending GRIN from your personal wallet to the deposit address, the swap processes automatically and your chosen asset is delivered directly to your wallet. SyntheticSwap never holds your funds at any point during the process.

How to Store GRIN

GRIN requires the official Grin wallet or community wallets (Grin++ is popular). Grin transactions are interactive — both sender and receiver must be online to complete a transaction.
