Bitcoin Atom uses a hybrid consensus model that combines Proof of Work (POW) and Proof of Stake (POS), two different types of algorithms for reaching consensus, or agreement, on whether or not a transaction is valid before it is added to the block chain. This hybrid model aims to increase stability and and security to the network.<\/p>\n

Bitcoin Atom will also provide atomic swaps and Lightning Swaps (LS) facility. Atomic swaps will enable users to exchange coins without a need for any intermediates or exchanges. Similarly, Lightning Swaps will enable cost-effective transactions in a cheap manner.<\/p>\n

Those who had Bitcoin in Bitcoin Atom partner exchange, prior to the fork date, will inherently qualify to receive Bitcoin Atom on a 1:1 basis. OKEx, YoBit, Exrate, Coinomi, and ESR Wallet support Bitcoin Atom. As usual BCA futures is already trading in YoBit exchange<\/strong><\/a>. At the time of writing, the BCA futures were trading at about $95. Soon after the completion of Bitcoin fork, the futures price declined sharply.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
