## What Is MobileCoin (MOB)?

MobileCoin (MOB) is a [decentralized](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/glossary/decentralized) payment platform established in 2017 by MobileCoin Inc. However, the network went live only in December 2020. A privacy-focused cryptocurrency, MOB, was created to be used as digital cash on mobile. Secure and easy payments, along with fast and encrypted transactions, are claimed to protect personal data. The developers aspire to revolutionize the [P2P](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/glossary/peer-to-peer-p2p) payment system where transactions are stored on a blockchain ledger.

The project was designed to be integrated into messaging apps like WhatsApp, Telegram, Facebook Messenger, and Signal. How does it work: a user enters a PIN code to send or receive funds. No one but a sender/a receiver can check the details of transactions. Users can always recover their keys with a recovery PIN. Confidentiality is a priority, and the platform applies [ring signatures](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/glossary/ring-signature) to authenticate the ownership and use of digital assets. The benefits of the ecosystem also include security and speed of transactions, environmental friendliness, and intuitive optimization for mobile devices.

MobileCoin is open-source. Users have the option to verify the programming techniques. 

In addition, MobileCoin is not only user-friendly but also planet-friendly, claiming to be one of the first negative carbon cryptocurrencies in its niche.


## Who Are the Founders of MobileCoin?

MobileCoin was co-founded in 2017 by Joshua Goldbard and Shane Glynn. The company has its headquarters in San Francisco, California.

Joshua Goldbard is CEO of MobileCoin Inc. He previously worked for a telecommunication holding company, AT&T, and was a founding partner at Crypto Lotus – a crypto-focused hedge fund. Goldbard is a true expert in network deployment who started his career in telecommunications, gaining experience with mobile systems and discovering his passion for cryptography.

Shane Glynn has a law degree. In the company, he holds the position of General Counsel and establishes crypto regulations. Glynn is a former Google expert with a background in telecommunications and mobile devices.

Another key contributor is Moxie Marlinspike, who reportedly was a technical advisor to MobileCoin at early stages. He’s most known as the creator of encrypted messenger Signal.


## What Makes MobileCoin Unique?

The ultimate mission of MobileCoin is to create an end-to-end encrypted messaging platform. The developers aim to turn MobileCoin into a universal, accessible, secure and sustainable payment system worldwide.

The project is a simple and secure currency utility emphasizing data encryption. The protocol encrypts P2P transactions in seconds in a decentralized and private way. MobileCoin is developed so that messaging apps can integrate with the MobileCoin wallet, while wallets can be smoothly connected to phones. It’s pretty easy to restore as well. Platform users have access to an intuitive interface where they can send/receive values ​​in MOB tokens, control balances, and view transaction history.

The key components of the ecosystem include:

MobileCoin Wallet. A native product and a noncustodial wallet available on desktop and mobile devices.

MobileCoin Recovery PIN. Users can restore their wallets with the private key.

MobileCoin Consensus Protocol. MCP uses Stellar Consensus Protocol (SCP), which allows fast confirmation of payments and forms an end-to-end encrypted environment.

Software Guard Extension. SGX is an encryption and isolation technology that provides an additional layer of security to the blockchain and protects data.

## How Many MobileCoin (MOB) Coins Are There in Circulation?

MobileCoin has its native currency, MOB, that powers the entire ecosystem. As of March 2023, there is a circulating supply of 195,286,109 $MOB, and a total supply of 250,000,000 coins.

MOB is intended for peer-to-peer (P2P) payments on the MobileCoin network. Tokens can be integrated into messaging apps, allowing users to conduct confidential transactions and transfer funds to each other with MOB.


## How Is the MobileCoin (MOB) Network Secured?

The MobileCoin Consensus Protocol (MCP) chooses [Stellar](https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/stellar/)'s reputation check. It applies Stellar Consensus Protocol to record transactions, CryptoNote and zero-knowledge proofs to hide transaction details, and ring signatures, one-time addresses, RingCT to protect user data. Stellar Consensus Protocol (SCP) uses the federated Byzantine agreement model ([Proof-of-Reputation](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/glossary/proof-of-replication)), which is robust to Byzantine faults and solves the Byzantine agreement problem.

Thus, the MobileCoin ecosystem includes several protective layers at once: Open-Source Code, Decentralized Governance, CryptoNote, Ring Confidential Transactions, Bulletproofs, MobileCoin Ledger, Byzantine Agreement, Secure Enclaves, Remote Attestation, Oblivious RAM, and Fog Threat Model.

Mask Network is a protocol that allows its users to send encrypted messages over Twitter and Facebook. It essentially acts as a bridge between the internet and a decentralized network running on top.

Mask Network was initially launched in July 2019, with its first use case of allowing Facebook and Twitter users to encrypt posts on the social media platforms. It then raised $2 million in a funding round in November 2020, co-led by HashKey and Hash Global, and a further $3 million funding round in February 2021 with participation from Digital Currency Group and Fundamental Labs.

Now, Mask Network offers the ability to fund Gitcoin grant campaigns directly from Twitter, as well as plans to offer peer-to-peer payments and decentralized storage functionality. It is a decentralized portal that also allows users to use DApps like crypto payments, decentralized finance, decentralized storage, e-commerce (digital goods/NFTs) and decentralized organizations (DAO) over the top of existing social networks without migrating, creating what is referred to as a decentralized Applet (DApplet) ecosystem.

Mask Network

Hive (HIVE) is a blockchain running on a delegated proof-of-stake (DPoS) consensus mechanism. It launched in March 2020 as a hard fork of the centralized Steem blockchain and as a gateway from Web 2.0 to Web 3.0. The blockchain claims to offer “lightning-fast processing times and fee-less transactions.” Examples of use cases include social media with monetized rewards for content creators, interactive blockchain games, identity management, micro-loans and more. The platform powers decentralized applications (dApps) like Splinterlands, PeakD and HiveBlog.

Hive is a social network of apps and services, where users discover the capacity of blockchain technology, connect to the platform and securely share content through equitable redistribution of value. Thus, the users are the proprietors of the network, and sponsors can contact communities and artists directly without intermediaries.

Hive is an open source blockchain that focuses on scaling through layer-2 sidechains, while still benefiting from a common layer-1 blockchain backbone to ensure distributed data integrity. The Hive ecosystem runs on two cryptocurrencies — the native governance token, HIVE and the USD-pegged HBD stablecoin.

UMA was founded in 2018 by Allison Lu and Hart Lambur, two ex Goldman Sachs traders, with the goal of making global markets universally fair, accessible, secure and decentralized.

The team drew inspiration from traditional finance derivatives to define an open-source protocol to allow anyone, anywhere, to design and build trustless financial contracts.

Convex Finance is a DeFi protocol that allows Curve liquidity providersto earn a share of trading fees on Curve without staking liquidity there. Instead, LPs can stake with Convex and receive boosted CRV and liquidity mining rewards. This provides CRV stakers with better capital efficiency and positions Convex Finance as an important player in the Curve wars.

Convex has entered a competitive race to obtain as much control as possible of the Curve Finance stablecoin exchange. The more CRV tokens a protocol has, the more influence it has over interest rates on Curve, which is the largest DEX in the world by TVL. Consequently, the “Curve wars” are an ongoing race for influence over what is probably the most important protocol in DeFi.

SKALE, described as a modular blockchain network, is designed to bring scalability to Ethereum. SKALE is the only blockchain network capable of running an unlimited number of fast, on-demand, pooled-security Blockchains with zero gas fees to end users. These individual chains are known as SKALE chains and can be dapp-specific or shared.

The project’s website says it wants to enable people to build and run DApps in a “decentralized modular cloud built for real-world needs and configured for your requirements.” This emphasis on decentralization isn’t at the expense of security.

According to SKALE, those who build on this platform can run Solidity smart contracts “thousands of times faster at a fraction of the mainnet cost” — with games and content streaming services among the projects that already take advantage of its infrastructure.
