What is Jolofcoin?

Jolofcoin (JOL) is a cryptocurrency built on its own blockchain through a robust Proof of Work consensus.

 

It is an open source peer to peer digital currency and doesn’t need the Stellar (XLM) network or the Ethereum (ERC-20) platform to exist. 

 

The single currency zone project through Jolofcoin uses a realistic approach based on verifiable data, tangible goals, and visible achievements.


Specific targets are set and they aim to bring stability in the financial ecosystem of West Africa by providing the means of utility of JOL in the digital economy. 


Innovation is at the heart of the Jolofcoin ecosystem, hence resources (desktop wallet, web wallet, mobile wallet, blockchain, explorer, mining pool, and source code) have already been made available.

Store Coin

Store your JOLs in a wallet to keep them safely for a short or longer period of time. There are different types of wallets available. You can choose how to store your JOL based on how you're planning to use them.

Send & Receive

This is one of the core building blocks of Jolofcoin. Sending and receiving JOL securely over the internet gives your JOL value. To send and receive, you need a wallet where you will put the public address of the sender and recipient.

Buy & Exchange

On the Jolofcoin platform (www.jolofcoin.io) you can securely buy JOL with FIAT, or exchange it to a popular cryptocurrency (BTC, ETH, DOGE, etc).

In Q3, you can sell and buy JOL on crypto exchanges. 

Mining

Jolofcoin mining is the process of creating new JOL by solving extremely complicated math problems that verify transactions in the currency. When a JOL is successfully mined, the miner receives a predetermined amount of Jolofcoin.
