The platform provider Blocknet has its own cryptocurrency. The cryptocurrency is used to pay for platform services. In order for users to be able to operate their own app on the platform, the associated nodes that operate the apps must be paid for. Users can do this in the cryptocurrency Blocknet Coin. It is also possible to generate coins by displaying advertisements. In addition, users have to pay a micro fee so that they can use the Blocknet infrastructure. The blocknet network consists of a peer-to-peer protocol between nodes of different blockchains. This is the basis of a technology stack that works via APIs and an application platform. It enables a wide range of possible applications and reduces development time. Furthermore, the blocknet network needs certain core functions in order to function. The three core functions are interoperability, modularity and mobility.
