What we’re about in 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.

- 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.
