View ChartCoinweb (CWEB) is a cross-chain infrastructure project that describes itself as "A True Chain Abstraction Layer." It is designed to revolutionise scalability and interoperability through an open-source, consensus-free and decentralised platform, enabling developers to deploy dApps on multiple blockchains as if they were one. The project aims to solve the interoperability problem — the cooperation between different blockchains that natively cannot communicate because they use different consensus mechanisms, token protocols, and rules. Coinweb operates on layer 2 using its proprietary InChain architecture, a novel distributed ledger technology embedded inside existing self-sovereign blockchains. The native token, CWEB, is an ERC20 token built on Ethereum with a total supply of approximately 7.60 billion CWEB and a maximum supply of 7.68 billion CWEB. Coinweb was founded in 2017 and launched its cryptocurrency in 2021, positioning itself as a mature infrastructure play in the cross-chain sector.
Coinweb was founded in 2017 by Toby Gilbert and Knut Vinger. Toby Gilbert serves as Founder and CEO and is also listed as Co-Founder. In 2018, he invested in and led the Blockfort and OnRamp teams and co-founded and led Coinweb. He has a background in running successful businesses. Knut Arne Vinger is listed as Co-Founder. Mike Conte is also listed among the founders of Coinweb. John Hunter Maxwell serves as Executive Chairman. Coinweb Labs is the main contributor to the Coinweb Protocol and provides a grant programme for developers building on top of it, along with design and build consultancy services for Web3 applications, incubation, and consultancy services for projects looking to build on Coinweb.
Coinweb operates on its InChain architecture, a novel distributed ledger technology embedded inside existing self-sovereign blockchains, functioning on layer 2. A standout feature is its detached proof mechanisms, which redefine how the state of a blockchain is verified, enhancing the efficiency and functionality of dApps while retaining the properties of the underlying chains. Coinweb works between several independent blockchains, allowing attached blockchains to interact with each other regardless of their consensus mechanism, token protocol, or other rules. The platform reads data from a blockchain and converts it to the standards and protocols of the destination blockchain. Key technical components include Reactive Smart Contracts for automatic token transfers between chains, a broadcaster that embeds transactions in various blockchains, a blockchain routing system that monitors underlying chain conditions and switches chains if KPIs are not met to guarantee liveness, a wallet library with pluggable fiat rails, and gas fee abstraction that removes the complexity of paying fees across multiple chains.
Coinweb distinguishes itself by revolutionising blockchain technology through detached proof mechanisms, enabling interoperability and powerful functionality. Its core value proposition is unprecedented flexibility for developers, allowing them to connect to a mix of blockchains based on speed, cost, and reliability, and to seamlessly switch underlying blockchains as needed. This solves the common problem where developers pick a blockchain with the least trade-offs rather than the most benefits, tying their dApp's fate to that blockchain. Coinweb's blockchain routing system future-proofs dApps by automatically switching chains when performance metrics are not met. The platform supports cross-chain tokenisation, allowing developers to issue blockchain-agnostic tokens embeddable and tradable across multiple blockchains. CWEB itself is described as the world's first blockchain-agnostic token, embedded into multiple underlying chains via the Coinweb protocol, safeguarding its utility and value even in cases of chain failure. The technology was proven in the early 2020s as a private blockchain with a proprietary cross-chain stablecoin called Starpoints.
CWEB is described as the fuel of Coinweb's Protocol. As a blockchain-agnostic token, it can seamlessly migrate across all integrated chains, safeguarding its utility and value even in cases of chain failure. Its primary uses include sending tokens, participating in token-related activities, and powering the protocol's operations. The Coinweb platform itself enables a wide range of use cases: cross-chain tokenisation for issuing blockchain-agnostic tokens, cross-chain broadcasting for embedding transactions in various blockchains, high-capacity smart contracts that work between different blockchains to allow DeFi protocols to receive more liquidity, and high-performance dApps that can move between blockchains to optimise for speed and cost. The Coinweb Wallet allows users to store different tokens and crypto coins, assign them to different addresses, exchange tokens, and access integrated banking options including Visa, SEPA and Mastercard. Staking was initially designed for reactive smart contracts, gradually increasing L2 CWEB's supply and aiding token migration.
The Coinweb ecosystem includes a range of projects across multiple categories. In DeFi, the ecosystem lists PACT, SWAP, and DeconX. In tokenisation, LinkMint is featured. The Coinweb Wallet serves as the wallet component, while OnRamp provides payment infrastructure. On the L1 side, BTC is integrated, and Polygon represents L2 integration. In SocialFi, Cyrator is listed, and in Enterprise, BMW and BMW Enterprise are included. Coinweb Labs provides a grant programme for developers looking to realise their dApp on Coinweb, along with design and build consultancy services. Developer resources include SDKs described as offering versatility and ease of use, pioneering toolkits, editorial deep-dives into the protocol's solutions and architecture, comprehensive documentation, and a get-started guide. A YouTube video titled "Unlocking Digital Potential: Insights with Toby Gilbert, CEO of Coinweb" references a groundbreaking collaboration with Coinweb. The project continues to develop its technology, with Whitepaper 2.1 published in November 2024.
Coinweb does not use traditional proof-of-work mining. Instead, the project has a staking programme that was initially designed for reactive smart contracts. This staking mechanism gradually increases the L2 CWEB's supply and aids token migration. The mining reserve allocation is 21.9%, equivalent to 1.68 billion tokens. CWEB operates as an ERC20 token on Ethereum, so there is no mining in the conventional sense. Users who wish to participate in securing or supporting the network should explore the staking programme as detailed in Coinweb's official documentation. The platform's consensus-free and decentralised design means that network participation differs fundamentally from traditional mineable cryptocurrencies.
To keep your CWEB tokens safe, use the official Coinweb Wallet, which is a non-custodial multi-chain wallet. It allows you to store different tokens and crypto coins, assign them to different addresses, and exchange tokens, with integrated banking options including Visa, SEPA and Mastercard. As CWEB is an ERC20 token on Ethereum, you can also store it in any wallet that supports ERC20 tokens. Always verify the smart contract address (0x505b5eda5e25a67e1c24a2bf1a527ed9eb88bf04) when interacting with the token. Never share your private keys or seed phrase with anyone. Be aware that investing in cryptocurrencies carries risks; prices are volatile and you could lose your investment. Yield services related to CWEB are currently not covered by the Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation (MiCAR) or any other sectoral EU legislation, meaning they do not offer the same safeguards as MiCAR-regulated services. Always conduct your own research before making any investment decisions.
