This website has been set up to keep the community informed about important events related to the UFO Coin project, concisely describe how the technology works, issue alerts, help users avoid common mistakes, inform them about the best practices, attract talented people to help improve the technology and the popularity of the protocol.
mission
Our mission is to promote decentralization, improve and spread the adoption of the blockchain technology by active development and promotion. To achieve this, we have drawn an extensive roadmap, underlining the upcoming improvement and changes that are to be brought to the UFO core.
The UFO network, after being updated to the latest available codebase, will add a Lightning Network allowing rapid transactions, bi-directional payment channels, atomic swaps between other cryptocurrencies as well as many other features. Post SegWit enablement, a web hosted wallet will be available with Multisig and SegWit address support and Raw Transaction tools. An overview of the development plan can be found under the roadmap section and more detailed information for current and past releases can be found in the news section.
