{"id":"creditcoin","title":"Creditcoin","content":"**Creditcoin** is a [Layer 1](https://iq.wiki/wiki/layer-1) [blockchain](https://iq.wiki/wiki/blockchain) network designed to facilitate financial inclusion and empower organizations to achieve greater global social impact through [blockchain](https://iq.wiki/wiki/blockchain) technology. It serves as a decentralized infrastructure for [real-world assets](https://iq.wiki/wiki/real-world-assets-rwas) (RWAs) and financial services, with a particular focus on emerging markets. [[1]](#cite-id-JzVY62cxu4)\n\n$$widget0 [YOUTUBE@VID](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fXg_1XCxHsU)$$\n\n## Overview\n\nCreditcoin was developed to address the challenges of financial exclusion in emerging markets by creating a decentralized network that enables financial institutions to provide microloans and build on-chain credit reputations. The platform connects traditional financial systems with [blockchain](https://iq.wiki/wiki/blockchain) technology, allowing for greater transparency, efficiency, and accessibility in lending and borrowing processes.\n\n$$widget0 [YOUTUBE@VID](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wAQZjC25cCM)$$\n\nThe network has established itself as a significant player in the [real-world asset (RWA)](https://iq.wiki/wiki/real-world-assets-rwas) space, working with local financial partners to disburse loans to underserved populations. For example, through its partnership with Aella, Creditcoin has facilitated the disbursement of 100 billion Naira to over 2 million Nigerians, demonstrating its practical impact on financial inclusion.\n\nBeyond financial services, Creditcoin has expanded its ecosystem to include [decentralized exchanges](https://iq.wiki/wiki/decentralized-exchange), satellite-based internet infrastructure, and consumer applications. This diversification reflects the platform's broader mission of connecting [blockchain](https://iq.wiki/wiki/blockchain) technology to real-world utility and social impact. [[3]](#cite-id-doEvt13C65) [[1]](#cite-id-JzVY62cxu4) [[2]](#cite-id-DKIasHdxZd)\n\n## History\n\nCreditcoin's journey began in 2016 when Tae Oh founded Gluwa, the company behind Creditcoin, with the mission of building [blockchain](https://iq.wiki/wiki/blockchain)-based solutions to real-world problems. Oh recognized that emerging markets were poised for explosive growth but faced technological constraints that limited their potential.\n\nThe project was established as a pioneer in the [real-world asset](https://iq.wiki/wiki/real-world-assets-rwas) (RWA) space before the term became widely used in the [blockchain](https://iq.wiki/wiki/blockchain) industry. From its inception, Creditcoin focused on financial inclusion in emerging markets, creating infrastructure for financial institutions to empower individuals and small businesses through microloans and on-chain credit reputations.\n\nA significant milestone in Creditcoin's development was the launch of its EVM-compatible [mainnet](https://iq.wiki/wiki/mainnet) in 2024, which marked a major step in the platform's evolution. This upgrade enhanced the network's interoperability and scalability, enabling it to support a wider range of decentralized applications (dApps), including RWA protocols and games.\n\nPrior to the [mainnet](https://iq.wiki/wiki/mainnet) launch, Creditcoin conducted an extensive [testnet](https://iq.wiki/wiki/testnet) phase to ensure the stability and security of its [EVM](https://iq.wiki/wiki/ethereum-virtual-machine-evm)-compatible network. This preparatory work laid the foundation for the platform's expanded capabilities and ecosystem growth. [[6]](#cite-id-6rSXaAvU7Q) [[3]](#cite-id-doEvt13C65) [[4]](#cite-id-F8Qffoy4QY) [[5]](#cite-id-aK47YOtzXv)\n\n## Technology\n\nCreditcoin operates as an EVM-compatible Layer 1 [blockchain](https://iq.wiki/wiki/blockchain), which allows it to support smart contracts and decentralized applications while maintaining compatibility with the [Ethereum](https://iq.wiki/wiki/ethereum) ecosystem. This architecture provides developers with familiar tools and frameworks for building on the Creditcoin network. [[6]](#cite-id-6rSXaAvU7Q)\n\nThe platform supports two types of tokens on its [mainnet](https://iq.wiki/wiki/mainnet): Native CTC and EVM CTC. Users can convert between these token types to interact with different aspects of the Creditcoin ecosystem. Native CTC is used for the original Creditcoin [blockchain](https://iq.wiki/wiki/blockchain), while EVM CTC enables interaction with smart contracts on the EVM-compatible layer. [[7]](#cite-id-Wk6bC58cYC)\n\nCreditcoin has also developed bridging technology that allows users to transfer Ethereum-based Creditcoin tokens (G-CRE and wCTC) to the Creditcoin [Mainnet](https://iq.wiki/wiki/mainnet). This interoperability enhances the platform's utility and accessibility [across](https://iq.wiki/wiki/across) different [blockchain](https://iq.wiki/wiki/blockchain) environments. [[8]](#cite-id-x8RanDPdxY)\n\nTo support user interaction with the network, Creditcoin has released Credit Wallet, a non-custodial mobile application available for Android and iOS. This wallet serves as an all-in-one solution for managing digital assets and interacting with dApps on the Creditcoin network. [[9]](#cite-id-zCsUp6PiBZ)\n\n## Ecosystem Development\n\nCreditcoin has been actively building its ecosystem through various initiatives and partnerships. A key component of this ecosystem is Penguinswap, a decentralized exchange (DEX) built on the Creditcoin [blockchain](https://iq.wiki/wiki/blockchain). Penguinswap enables users to swap tokens, provide liquidity, and engage with the Creditcoin ecosystem while maintaining control over their assets. [[10]](#cite-id-kTo0vAQ05U)\n\nThe platform has also established strategic partnerships to expand its reach and capabilities. One notable partnership is with Credefi, a [blockchain](https://iq.wiki/wiki/blockchain) lending platform that bridges the gap in debt financing [across](https://iq.wiki/wiki/across) the European Union. This collaboration aims to democratize and streamline access to real-world assets globally. [[11]](#cite-id-6xeaZTrSFJ)\n\nAnother significant development in the Creditcoin ecosystem is Spacecoin, the first decentralized application (dApp) built on Creditcoin. Spacecoin is a decentralized physical infrastructure network ([DePIN](https://iq.wiki/wiki/depin)) powered by nanosatellites, aiming to provide satellite-based internet connectivity to underserved regions. This initiative aligns with Creditcoin's mission of connecting the unconnected and expanding access to digital services. [[12]](#cite-id-slsSAhnDHW)\n\nTo accelerate growth and innovation within its ecosystem, Creditcoin has launched the Creditcoin Ecosystem Investment Program (CEIP), a $10 million initiative managed by Credit Labs. This program is designed to support developers and entrepreneurs building on the Creditcoin network. [[13]](#cite-id-4UYgUtwTsC)\n\n## Creditcoin (CTC) Token\n\nThe Creditcoin token (CTC) serves as the native [cryptocurrency](https://iq.wiki/wiki/cryptocurrency) of the Creditcoin network. It exists in multiple forms across different [blockchain](https://iq.wiki/wiki/blockchain) environments, including:\n- **Mainnet CTC (Native)** - The original token on the Creditcoin blockchain;\n- **Mainnet CTC (EVM)** - The [EVM](https://iq.wiki/wiki/ethereum-virtual-machine-evm)-compatible version used for [smart contract](https://iq.wiki/wiki/smart-contract) interactions;\n- **G-CRE** - An [Ethereum](https://iq.wiki/wiki/ethereum)-based version of Creditcoin;\n- **wCTC** - A wrapped version of CTC on Ethereum.\n\nCTC is used for various purposes within the ecosystem, including:\n- [Transaction fees](https://iq.wiki/wiki/transaction-fee) on the Creditcoin network;\n- [Staking](https://iq.wiki/wiki/staking) and governance;\n- [Liquidity provision](https://iq.wiki/wiki/liquidity-providers) in [decentralized exchanges](https://iq.wiki/wiki/decentralized-exchange) like Penguinswap;\n- Rewards for participation in ecosystem activities and programs.\n\nThe token is available on various [cryptocurrency](https://iq.wiki/wiki/cryptocurrency) exchanges, allowing users to trade and acquire CTC. Market data and price information for CTC can be tracked on platforms like [CoinGecko](https://iq.wiki/wiki/coingecko) and [CoinMarketCap](https://iq.wiki/wiki/coinmarketcap).\n\n### Community and Governance\n\nCreditcoin maintains an active community engagement strategy through its Ambassador Program, which invites passionate individuals to contribute to the growth and development of the ecosystem. The program has run multiple seasons, with Season 4 launched in 2025 to support the platform's continued momentum.\n\nThe project also engages with its community through various events and initiatives. One notable example is Cafe GM, a series of casual side events at cryptocurrency conferences co-hosted by Creditcoin and its partners. These events feature limited-run merchandise, access to industry leaders, fireside chats, and networking opportunities.\n\nTo ensure the security and integrity of its protocol, Creditcoin has implemented bug bounty programs. For instance, the Penguinswap Bug Bounty Program rewards community members for identifying and reporting vulnerabilities in the [DEX](https://iq.wiki/wiki/decentralized-exchange), with rewards of up to 20,000 CTC tokens.","summary":"Creditcoin is a Layer 1 blockchain network focused on financial inclusion and real-world asset integration, offering decentralized financial services and
