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 2018 and launched its cryptocurrency in December 2021, positioning itself as a mature infrastructure play in the cross-chain sector.
Coinweb was founded in 2018 by Toby Gilbert (CEO), Knut Arne Vinger (CTO and Co-founder) and Mike Conte. 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. 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 is a blockchain-agnostic token that can be embedded into multiple underlying chains via the Coinweb protocol, safeguarding its utility and value even in cases of chain failure. Coinweb's technology is documented in Whitepaper 2.1, published in November 2024.
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 pluggable fiat rails for on/off ramping. Staking was initially designed for reactive smart contracts, gradually increasing L2 CWEB's supply and aiding token migration.
CWEB serves several economic roles: users pay transaction fees in CWEB; nodes may post CWEB as collateral; stakers lock CWEB to secure processes and may earn rewards in CWEB; dApps can accept CWEB for services; liquidity providers can supply CWEB to pools; and information traders use CWEB to synchronise data between the Coinweb layer and underlying chains.
The Coinweb ecosystem includes Coinweb Labs (main contributor), the Coinweb Wallet, and Blockfort and OnRamp, which were co-founded by team members. 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. Coinweb publishes updates through its official Telegram channel and website. The project continues to develop its technology, with Whitepaper 2.1 published in November 2024.
CWEB is not mined. It is an ERC20 token on Ethereum. Network participation takes the form of staking: stakers lock CWEB as collateral to secure processes and maintain network stability, and may receive staking rewards in CWEB. The staking programme, initially designed for reactive smart contracts, gradually increases L2 CWEB's supply and aids token migration, and supports trust-minimised L1–L2 bridges.
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 pluggable fiat rails for on/off ramping. 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.
