Expert Analysis: MIXIN Coin Review

Mixin is a distributed transactional network for digital assets. The assets can be other cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Litecoin. And it helps other public distributed ledgers to achieve trillions of transactions per second; that too with zero transaction fees. Later in this article, we will give expert analysis on Mixin coin — also represented as XIN token.

The Mixin network consists of three parts:

Kernel

Domain

Domain Extension

The Kernel is a distributed ledger which takes care of verifying the asset transactions. However, the Kernel will not produce any sort of assets.

Each Mixin Domain is also a distributed ledger. And a Mixin Domain is responsible for providing assets to the Mixin Kernel. The assets can be any type and can belong to anyone, even the assets that belong to central banks around the world.

The Mixin Kernel oversees and verifies the assets given by a Mixin Domain.

So, Mixin Domains and Mixing Kernel are all about verifying transactions and, governing and tracking the assets.

And the Mixin Domain Extensions are something similar to the smart contracts on the Ethereum platform.
