Comment: This draft is a long way from being accepted. It does not summarize what independent reliable sources say about this cryptocurrency and what makes it notable as Wikipedia uses the word. Wikipedia is not a place to just tell about something. Please see your user talk page for important information requiring a response. 331dot (talk) 09:09, 29 November 2024 (UTC)
