About the asset
About Ravencoin
Ravencoin is a blockchain specifically dedicated to the creation and peer-to-peer transfer of assets. Just as Monero is solely focused on privacy, Ravencoin specializes in asset transfer – nothing more, nothing less. Although you can exchange assets over other blockchains, like Bitcoin and Ethereum, that’s not their intended purpose. And the lack of specialization leads to problems that are specific to transferring assets. Ravencoin enables you to create and trade any real-world (e.g., gold bars, land deeds) or digital (e.g., gaming items, software licenses) assets on a network with only that in mind.
Ravencoin doesn’t have an established team. It’s an open-source project led by the core developers: RavoncoinDev, Tron, and Chatturga (discord usernames). Bruce Fenton, Board Member of The Bitcoin Foundation, advises the team. The core developers launched Ravencoin on January 3rd, 2018 and Fenton kicked off the launch with a Tweet announcing the start of mining. The project gained some notoriety when Overstock CEO Patrick Byrne announced that his company had made a multi-million dollar investment into the team. Since then, the team has been building out the core functionality of asset support and rewards capabilities.
What drives the Ravencoin price
The structural forces behind RVN's price moves — without forecasting where it goes next.
Tokenisation use case
Ravencoin's reason to exist is asset issuance — anyone can mint, transfer, and pay dividends on tokens directly on the chain, without smart contracts. The driver here is whether real-world issuers (gaming items, regulated securities, charity tokens) actually use it. Volume on RVN-issued assets is the clearest demand signal.
GPU mineability
KAWPOW is explicitly tuned to favour consumer GPUs over ASICs. That keeps the miner base distributed but also means RVN's hashrate is sensitive to GPU profitability shifts — when it becomes more profitable to mine other GPU coins or rent hash to ETH-replacement chains, RVN security drops.
No foundation, no marketing budget
Ravencoin has no premine, no treasury, and no foundation. That's philosophically pure but commercially limiting: there's no team paid to push the asset issuance use case to enterprises. Adoption depends on community-led work, which historically progresses slowly but stickily.
