Introducing the 2022 Metrix Coin (MRX)
Whitepaper. The following document will
outline what sets Metrix Coin apart as
the cryptocurrency of choice. Our path
forward is well-articulated in our
roadmap of both accomplished
accolades and future endeavors, many
of which are already underway and set
to be secured ahead of schedule.
We are forging the future integration and
utilization of blockchain technologies to
advocate for a trustworthy and
transparent, immutable ledger that all
currency should be. We’ve built a
community around this vision and seek
to be the catalyst of ushering crypto
into mainstream everyday use through
strategic partnerships, versatile point of
sale solutions, seamless and simple
acquisition on-ramps, and a dedicated
team of professionals, who maintain the
dream and tenacity to see all of our
planned productivity through to fruition.
With a keen ear to the deckplates of our
community of Metroids, we’ve listened
to their priorities and ideas, taking a
fiduciary responsibility to pioneer Metrix
Coin into the uncharted waters of what
crypto can do. We’ve rebranded,
changed chains, reworked a sustainable
rewards structure, and continue to work
hard to secure the faith of our
community through strategic, relevant
goals. We are confident you will find the
information that follows to be engaging,
exciting, insightful, and innovative.
Our hope is that you will join our family,
engage our community, and strap in for
the ride to the top. Our commitment to
this project and to you as a future
investor is that the work will never stop,
the team will never quit, and the
roadmap will be a living document that
grows congruently with this
unprecedented technological era of
digital currency.
Founded in Portugal in 2017, Metrix
(formerly Lindacoin) was offered as a
solution for businesses looking to find
scalable solutions (i.e. transfer of value,
digitizing assets, or tokenization of
assets) while implementing an open and
trustworthy ledger powered by Proof of-
Work (PoW) and Proof-of-Stake (PoS)
consensus. In conjunction with this
vision, Metrix developers innovated with
great ambition to offer user-friendly
desktop and online tools, transforming
the technical complexities into a
seamless opportunity for anyone to
grasp.
Our persistence to succeed has led us
to redefine our core values, blockchain,
products and services to best serve the
needs of our partners, supporters and
blockchain longevity.
Metrix is a blockchain governed by the
Metroid community in a decentralized
fashion. It sets out to implement a
smart blockchain and a smart e-
commerce model, while maintaining a
seamless operation overall. We provide
an ecosystem of products and services
connecting everyone to everything. Our
core values encase our vision to create
a Metrix Solution for the masses,
including both consumers and
businesses. We are mindful of our base
as we collectively underline a targeted
Metrix solution with potential
businesses. Our goal is to provide
efficient solutions to the challenges
seen in our social and daily lives. Our
decentralized model of governance
extends teamwork with an array of
experience and skills from people all
over the world. The very essence of our
team, blockchain, products and services
delivers a positive impact that forms a
strong, reliable foundation. We are
committed to serve with excellence.
A technology that is
“For everyone. For everything!”
The Metrix Ecosystem has been created
to advance our team, products and
community into the year 2021. With our
new blockchain coded to suit our
Metroids community, Governance is
now a certainty. Metrix is now 100% run
by the community and is guided and
assisted by the Metrix team.
Through our Metrix Ecosystem, we will
grow as a community in multiple areas
at the same time without the previous
limitations.
ALTITUDE DESKTOP WALLET
Wallets in 2020/21 are extremely
important for investors in a project as
well as for long term holders, as they
need to be certain that their coins are
safe from being hacked. It is imperative
to the level of sophistication, and
security within a wallet is paramount.
We’re pleased to advise that the
upgraded Altitude Wallet has inbuilt
security, allowing each user to have
confidence that their coins are safe.
The wallet allows a backup feature
which is highly recommended once
coins have been sent to the wallet. The
custom-built Altitude Wallet was built on
Electron for all desktop computers,
allowing a simplistic yet stylish user
interface. As the network now runs a
Decentralized Governance Protocol, you
will note that the Governor sits proudly
on the top left side of the updated
wallets.
Each Altitude wallet allows an easy set
up of a Governor node. By locking up
7.5M MRX, you can then participate by
either making a proposal or voting on a
proposal made by another user. Please
refer to Metrix Academy on our website,
www.metrixcoin.com, for user-friendly
videos, that outline how to get the most
out of your Altitude desktop wallet. The
videos cover everything from the basic
installation of your new Altitude wallet
through to encryption of your
passphrase, backing up your wallet.dat
file, exporting your private keys and
even setting up a Governor with ease.
Altitude is a reliable, free desktop option
that can be used on Windows and Mac.
As an additive smart feature to the
Altitude wallet, Solidity developers may
create smart-contracts, decentralized
applications, fungible (MRC20) and non-
fungible tokens (MRC21).
MyStakingWallet (MSW)
One of Metrix’s valuable products,
MyStakingWallet (MSW), is a web wallet
and masternode turn-key solution. The
product is a “go anywhere”-based
product, allowing the user to choose
from a desktop application through to
an IOS or Android application for those
users that are on the go. MSW allows
anyone to hold funds securely online,
and it also offers the ability to set-up a
masternode with ease at the click of a
button. Although Metrix no longer uses
masternodes on the new chain, we have
partnered with other projects where you
can enjoy the masternode rewards from
their coins on this product whilst
staking your Metrix at the same time.
Before MSW, people hired developers
who struggled for hours to overcome a
learning curve with coding languages
and purchased expensive hardware in
order to set up a masternode. Metrix
prides themselves by offering a
seamless masternode set-up solution
that does away with the hassles and
unnecessary expenses, making it a
user-friendly product. Oh, and we must
say, it looks really cool as well!
MSW permits users to own a virtual
private server (VPS) that stores up to
four coins capable of staking or to
partake in a masternode network at
affordable prices.
GOVERNANCE MODEL,
DECENTRALIZED APPLICATION (dApps)
AND SMART-CONTRACTS
Metrix has chosen to upgrade its old
chain to a new chain which was a hard
fork of the QTUM Chain. As a
decentralized public chain, the QTUM
Chain regards blockchain governance
as an important aspect of achieving
sustainable development. It also allows
Metrix to harness decentralized
applications, or dApps, and smart
contracts.
Similarly to QTUM’s governance model,
Metrix offers two aspects of
decentralized governance that work
synergistically: “on-chain governance”
and “off-chain governance”. In on-chain
governance, Metrix decentralized
governance protocol (DGP) allows for
Governor nodes to vote for budget or
blockchain proposals. In off-chain
governance, anyone may showcase a
proposal to the Metroid community for
an unofficial vote to gauge support from
the community. Participants may also
assess the likelihood for their proposal
to pass by Governors.
On-chain and off-chain governance are
the appropriate epitomes to
decentralized governance that provides
GOVERNORS AND THE NATURE OF GOVERNANCE
Anyone from the Metroid community
may set up their own Governor node.
There is not a set requirement for
establishing a Governor node other than
locking 7.5M MRX as collateral and either
voting for a proposal or pinging the
network on a monthly basis. The
minimum number of Governor nodes
required to participate in voting is 100,
and the maximum number of Governor
nodes is capped at 1,920. The Metrix
DGP protocol is regarded as a form of
direct democracy in which members of
the Metroid community are given the
opportunity to vote unofficially on
proposals, while Governor nodes vote
officially. Everyone from the Metroid
community may participate in the
voting process.
We encourage building on the Metrix
blockchain given the adequate
environment for creating fungible and
non-fungible tokens, dApps and smart-
contracts. For developers that offer their
services to build on the chain, if their
budget proposal is embraced by the
Metroid community and the Governor
nodes, they may expect a monthly
stipend of MRX for fulfilling the
agreements of the smart-contract.
Submitting budget proposals is not
limited to developers, but rather open to
any participant. All budget proposals will
include the terms of the agreement and
are coded into a smart-contract.
As a measure to address blockchain
scalability concerns (large chain size,
large block size, long block times and
high gas fees), the Metroid community
and Governor nodes may approve the
necessary updates in real-time, without
the need of a hard fork or soft fork.
Once a blockchain proposal has been
accepted, it is furnished into a smart-
contract and executed automatically to
the network.
