PRIZM, developed in 2017, is a cryptocurrency that operates on its unique Paramining consensus model. The project aims to create a fast, independent, energy-efficient, and community-driven financial network. Its main proposition is that users can generate new coins simply by holding PZM in their wallets, without requiring additional hardware. Decentralization, peer-to-peer transfer speed, and low transaction fees are central to PRIZM’s vision.
Project Concept
The idea behind PRIZM was to democratize crypto mining and offer an alternative to energy-intensive Proof of Work (PoW) systems. Instead of traditional mining, PRIZM introduced Paramining, a system where users earn rewards based on wallet balance and community size. This allows anyone to generate income from the network without technical knowledge, expensive equipment, or high costs.
How PRIZM Works (Paramining and Forging)
PRIZM’s operation relies on two main mechanisms:
Paramining
Paramining is the coin generation mechanism of PZM. It starts as soon as a wallet contains at least one PZM. The amount of new coins produced dynamically depends on:
-
Wallet Balance: The number of PZM coins held.
-
Total Network Volume: The total PZM holdings of connected users.
-
Emission Coefficient: A dynamic factor based on total PZM emission.
This structure encourages both individual participation and network expansion. Newly generated coins are distributed to participants immediately when transactions occur. Coins are drawn from the Genesis wallet, aiming for a maximum supply of 6 billion PZM.
Forging
Forging is the process of validating blockchain transactions and creating new blocks. Users running PRIZM CORE software with sufficient balance participate. Forgers are rewarded with a share of transaction fees when they add new blocks.
Key Features
-
Speed: Blocks are generated on average every 59 seconds.
-
Paramining: Increases wallet coin balance over time.
-
Proof of Stake (PoS): Energy-efficient consensus mechanism.
-
Open Source: Code is publicly available and supports integration.
Team and Founders
PRIZM originated from the international social movement “Change the World Together,” founded in 2011. Alexey Muratov is the founder and main ideologist, previously known for his role in the controversial MMM-2011 scheme. Technical lead Yuri Mayorov heads the small, community-driven core development team.
Investors and Partnerships
Public information about financial investors is not available. However, PRIZM has partnered with technical and security organizations for code auditing: RTM TECHNOLOGIES, CodeCondo, and BITCOINSBRAIN.
Governance
PRIZM defines itself as a fully decentralized, self-regulating network. While formal governance and voting structures are not publicly detailed, the 100% PoS and Forging system indicates that major network decisions are driven by Forger operators and community consensus.
