What Is NXT?

NXT is the new generation of Cryptocurrency. t is a second generation cryptocurrency dat overcomes all shortcomings and limitations of Bitcoin. It can be seen as a complete monetary system, and it will be expanded like one.

NXT doesn't only have a currency to make payments. It also has an asset exchange module, smart contracts, a marketplace, and a message system. This one is a real competitor for Bitcoin, a genuine second-generation crypto.
The big question will be if NXT will manage to step up and proof that it would be a worthy replacement for Bitcoin.

As you can read on their website:

"Nxt is an advanced blockchain platform which builds on and improves the basic functionality of pioneering cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin. Cryptocurrency and financial systems are the first widely used applications of blockchain technology, but the blockchain and its associated technology can be used for so much more.

Nxt revolutionises the financial technology, crowdfunding and governance industries by providing not only the groundbreaking NXT crypto-currency, but also a powerful, modular toolset to build with in any way Nxt users can imagine. Nxt gives users complete freedom to create their own applications."

NXT Highlights:

  • NXT isn't build with the Bitcoin source code as a base. It was build from scratch in Javascript. That has been a very smart move, because more developers can work with Javascript than with C++, so there will be loads more people who will be able to contribute to the expansion of the NXT network.
  • NXT won't need 'colored coins' or 'crypto equity' - it will be presented as an all-in-one dashboard you can use to control everything. This makes it more user-friendly than Bitcoin.
  • A total of 1 billion NXT coins will be available. There will be no need for mining, since NXT is based on a Proof Of Stake mechanism and not on a Proof Of Work mechanism. As a result, NXT will be able to make superfast transactions.
  • The NXT platform can be used to build new NXT cryptos.
