CityCoins are cryptocurrencies that allow you to support your favorite cities while earning Bitcoin.

Introduction

Welcome, we're glad you found us! CityCoins are powered by Stacks, a blockchain that enables smart contracts on the Bitcoin network.

CityCoins have two main functions: Mining and Stacking.

  • Anyone can compete to mine CityCoins by forwarding STX into a CityCoin smart contract.
  • 30% of the STX spent by miners is automatically forwarded to a reserved wallet for the city
  • 70% of the STX spent by miners is rewarded to Stackers, who lock their CityCoin in the contract for a number of reward cycles

CityCoins are also programmable using Clarity, the language that powers smart contracts on Stacks.

This opens up endless possibilities for their utility, and new opportunities for developers, entrepreneurs, residents, and more.
