Vulkan Chain Mainnet is planned to go live in early Q3 2024. At launch the project will be a fork of Monero (XMR) with tweaks to the emission curve, tail emissions and minor protocol changes

Tokenomics:
- 100M supply followed by tail emissions of 3.5 VUK per block
- Less aggressive emission curve than Monero
- Decreasing mining rewards every block until tail emissions

Vulkan Stable Dollar (USDV) is the decentralized alternative to USDT in the Vulkan Ecosystem. USDV is not inherently private but it's overcollateralized backing asset is. Stablecoins are mostly used for payments and trading therefore the DeFi wallet will allow for mixing by default for an added layer of privacy on non-private chains than USDV will exist on (ERC20/BEP20 at launch with additional chains in the future)

VulkanSwap will facilitate private/semi-private swaps, controlling minting and burning USDV, liquidity pools and staking. Vulkan aims to become the leader of a new sector, Privacy DeFi, while remaining compliant with regulations

Planned launch for the Vulkan DeFi browser extension that will allow easy usage of USDV for payments with an option to obfuscate payments to a degree by mixing transactions, this option is not enabled by default. The extension recommends the blockchain with the lowest fees and fastest confirmation time at the time of sending USDV, however, the user can use the chain of their choice

VulkanPay is planned to be a payment processor for merchants. A currency is only as useful as its provided utility and we're dedicated to creating real world use cases for Vulkan

Tier 1 CEX listings are planned shortly after the ecosystem is functional and stable in order to gain access to high liquidity.

The Vulkan Chain team has high interest in integrating solutions that allow for seamless crosschain liquidity. We are planning on achieving this by building proprietary solutions and/or working closely with existing solutions in the cryptocurrency sphere such as ChainLink's CCIP.
