Syscoin is not a new project for veteran crypto traders and investors, they launched back in 2014 on Bitcointalk. Since then it managed to stay quite relevant, while a lot of coins from that era are already half dead or simply gone. The project offers a fully decentralized marketplace (BlockMarket) via their wallet and also fast transactions with segwit support.

Syscoin stands out of the crowd currently because they could hold their ground while most coins are having a huge decline in term of price.

The project is looking forward to some great news and features hitting in the future so let’s look at what they have to offer:

Masternodes – Syscoin will feature collateralized nodes in their release on the 31st of March. These will strengthen the network and help them implement additional features on top of their blockchain. The number of coins needed for a masternode will be 100,000, which at the current price is 50,000 USD.

Z-DAG Transactions – They are planning to implement Zero Confirmation transactions with the help of a Directed Acyclic Graph (DAG) based technology. There are currently 3 DAG chains alive, IOTA, NANO and GBYTE, but SYS is the first to implement the technology for transactions only on a standard blockchain based network.

CPS ICO & Airdrop – Syscoin’s first ICO and Airdrop will be CoinPayments’s very own project the CoinPaymentsCoin. The ICO is offering a fully peer to peer decentralized marketplace with instant transactions. They are planning to do this with the help of Syscoin’s new Z-DAG technology. CoinPayments is not a new company, they offer 745,000 vendors and merchants payment, checkout, POS, wallet and conversion tools. The public sale will start on the 15th of April.

Let’s see how these news will favor the holders and we are looking forward to seeing the Z-DAG transactions in action as we have already talked about actual DAG chains previously here and here.
