What is Ravencoin?
Ravencoin is a protocol based on a fork of the Bitcoin code which adds features specifically focused on allowing tokens to be issued on the Ravencoin blockchain. These tokens can have whatever properties the issuer of the token decides - so they can be limited in quantity, named and be issued as securities or as collectibles.
Make your own security token within minutes and have it trade worldwide.
