Registration and Activation

An overview of the registration and activation component of the CityCoins protocol.

CityCoins require the Stacks Web Walletarrow-up-right to interact with the smart contracts on the Stacks blockchainarrow-up-right. (see How do I get started?)

CityCoins only exist through mining, which does not begin until 20 independent wallets signal activation after the contract is deployed.

There is no ICO, no pre-sale, and no pre-mine, and there are no CityCoins issued or distributed prior to the start of mining.

Once 20 users register to activate the contract, a 150 block (~24hr) countdown begins, after which anyone is eligible to try and mine the CityCoins within a given Stacks block.

Registration is not required once the contract is activated. After this process is complete, anyone who completes a mining or stacking transaction will automatically be registered as a user.

A nominal transaction fee is required in order to send this transaction, paid in STX, and you can optionally include a memo of up to 50 characters that will be recorded on-chain.

For a more technical explanation, please see the contract functions for activation.
