What can you do with the asset layer on Ravencoin?

The Ravencoin asset layer lets anyone create custom tokens (fungible or non-fungible) representing anything — company shares, event tickets, loyalty points, collectibles — transferable peer-to-peer without smart contracts.

Can I swap RVN without KYC?

Yes. SyntheticSwap supports RVN swaps with no registration or identity verification.

Why was KAWPOW chosen for Ravencoin?

KAWPOW is designed to be GPU-friendly and ASIC-resistant, requiring significant memory bandwidth. This keeps mining accessible to individuals with consumer GPUs rather than specialized ASIC farms.

Is Ravencoin related to Bitcoin?

Ravencoin is a fork of Bitcoin's codebase, inheriting its UTXO model and security design. However, it adds an asset layer and uses a different PoW algorithm not present in Bitcoin.

What is the total supply of RVN?

Ravencoin has a maximum supply of 21 billion RVN — 1,000× Bitcoin's 21 million, following a similar halving schedule.
