Our Story

The Blockchain Built for the People, by the People

NewYorkCoin launched March 6, 2014 — a Litecoin fork designed from day one to be lightning-fast and completely fee-free. No ICO. No pre-mine. Pure, open-source, community-driven cryptocurrency.

In 2017, a volunteer development team committed to realizing NYC's full potential as a global, permission-less, zero-fee payment solution — establishing the New York Coin Center to lead the effort. Today, that mission continues with a full modernization of the codebase and wallet ecosystem.

Roadmap

NYC is Getting a Major Upgrade

The community is actively building the next generation of NewYorkCoin — bringing it to feature parity with the latest Litecoin codebase and beyond.

In Development

MimbleWimble Extension Blocks (MWEB)

Porting Litecoin's flagship privacy upgrade to NewYorkCoin. MWEB introduces Confidential Transactions — hiding sender, receiver, and amounts from the public ledger while remaining fully verifiable on-chain. True financial privacy, finally available on NYC.

01
In Development

Modern BIP Compliance

Full modernization of the NYC codebase to support the latest Bitcoin Improvement Proposals — including SegWit, updated scripting capabilities, and hardened network security upgrades. NYC will be fully compatible with the modern Bitcoin and Litecoin ecosystem.

02
In Development

Coinomi-Style Multi-Coin Wallet

A full-featured, non-custodial mobile and desktop wallet — built with NYC as the centerpiece, alongside support for major cryptocurrencies. Clean UX, hardware wallet support, and built-in exchange. Your keys. Your coins. One app.

03
Ongoing

Merchant Payment Infrastructure

NYC's zero-fee, 30-second confirmation model makes it ideal for retail. We're building merchant tooling — point-of-sale integrations, payment processor APIs, and e-commerce plugins — to make accepting NYC effortless for businesses worldwide.
