About Navcoin

We’re in the midst of a paradigm shift with nations relying more and more on cashless options to make payments. Current events have accelerated this paradigm, and concerns surrounding social and financial exclusion, profiling and automated decision making are on the rise.

Navcoin is a community driven cryptocurrency project launched in 2014 and founded on top of four key pillars:

• private payments
• decentralized and autonomous platforms
• eco-friendliness
• interoperability and DeFi

To protect the financial privacy of every individual, we’ve developed an innovative privacy protocol named blsCT and made it available to everyone for free. With our chain also being interoperable with others and thus connected to DeFi, Navcoin is the currency to exchange value online without compromising your privacy.

We do not make hiring decisions based on educational history. Our Lead Dev is mainly self educated, showcasing that degrees and quality do not need to be correlated. From high school dropouts to PhDs candidates and everything in-between: we simply hire talented, passionate individuals who are excited to be a part of our team.
