FAQ

1. How is Key Coin different from Bitcoin?

Bitcoin is pegged to scarcity (21 million cap); Key Coin is pegged to actual power generation (dynamically adjusted daily). Bitcoin is "digital gold"; Key Coin is "digital electricity".

2. How does Key Coin offset electricity costs?

Holding Key Coin allows direct electricity bill deduction via integrated wallet — 1 KEY ≈ 1 kWh equivalent value. Covers approximately 70% of core AI compute costs. Auto-deduction enabled once integrated with grid/energy provider APIs.

3. How do I obtain Key Coin?

Three ways: ① Build clean energy infrastructure and generate power; ② Create content and receive AI-assessed rewards; ③ Purchase on secondary markets (Uniswap LP coming soon).

4. Who controls Key Coin?

A 9-member council (elected by long-term holders) + all holders locked for ≥2 years have voting rights. No centralized team dictatorship. Council rotates 1/3 annually.

5. What if quantum computers break the blockchain?

Key Coin has deployed the QuantumMigrationCommitment contract (0x186a...0DFc) with a five-tier threat response mechanism:

  • Current threat level: CONCERNED (Tier 2) — hybrid signature mode preparation underway
  • Hybrid AND mode: ECDSA + ML-DSA (Dilithium) dual verification, preventing downgrade attacks
  • When escalated to CRITICAL: auto-freeze non-PQC high-value transactions, 90-day mandatory migration
  • Final migration target: CRYSTALS-Dilithium (FIPS 204), aligned with the 2035 global PQC migration deadline

See Technical Architecture → Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC)

6. What stage is the project at?

2026 Q2 base token is live on Ethereum mainnet. 4 contracts open-source verified. 9-member council in place. Oracle network operational. Preparing Uniswap LP and Etherscan Token Update.
