View ChartPakcoin (PAK) is a cryptocurrency and decentralized peer-to-peer payment network introduced in 2015 and headquartered in Rawalpindi, Pakistan. CoinMarketCap lists it on 2015-09-15, while Coinbase's description states a June 2015 launch. The project's positioning tagline is "Pakistan's First Cryptocurrency (POS)", and it is branded as "the Digital Currency for Pakistani People." It is designed to facilitate instant, low-cost payments across the globe. The project states that anyone is welcome regardless of nationality if they have an interest in Pakcoin. Technically, Pakcoin is based on the Litecoin scrypt hash algorithm and operates as a mineable coin with no premine. Per CoinMarketCap's Chinese-language page, the coin launched with PoW Scrypt and switched to Proof-of-Stake in January 2019, which explains why older sources still tag it as PoW. In terms of supply, the maximum supply is consistently reported as 182,000,000 PAK. Circulating supply is reported inconsistently: one source states approximately 85.67 million PAK (about 99% of total supply), while the official description states 0 in circulation. The project's current stage is a subject of caution: Tracxn lists Pakcoin as a deadpooled company (company profile last updated September 30, 2026). Per an official notice, YoBit is currently trading an old chain of PAK, and users should refer to the project's announcement before transacting.
Pakcoin was founded in 2015 by an individual using the alias "Abu Shaheer," who is listed as the founder and key team member of the project. In May 2018, Asia Times reported on a Pakistani central bank notice affecting crypto, and the founder believed the notice worked in the currency's favor. Tracxn lists Abu Shaheer as the founder of Pakcoin. Beyond this, detailed public information about the broader core team, advisors, or organizational structure is currently limited. According to Tracxn, Pakcoin has not raised any funding rounds and has made no investments or acquisitions.
Pakcoin operates as a cryptocurrency and decentralized peer-to-peer payment network built on the Litecoin scrypt hash algorithm. Pakcoin launched with PoW Scrypt mining and, per CoinMarketCap's Chinese-language page, switched to Proof-of-Stake in January 2019; under PoS, block rewards come from staking rather than hash power. Older sources that tag it as PoW reflect the pre-2019 design. The network is supported by app-based wallets and paper wallets. The first stable release of Pakcoin Wallets for Linux and Windows was announced after thorough testing on different systems, with a Mac wallet stated to be released soon. The project focuses on innovative software to make fast, safe and cheap transactions. Its Pakcoin E-Wallet is a web-based wallet that provides instant access to digital assets with complete control over holdings. It features bank-level security, encrypted storage, two-factor authentication, transaction verification, automatic session protection, comprehensive activity monitoring, and QR code payment functionality that allows merchants to accept Pakcoins by displaying their wallet QR code.
Pakcoin positions itself as "Pakistan's First Cryptocurrency (POS)" and "the Digital Currency for Pakistani People," with an explicit open-door message that anyone is welcome regardless of nationality if they have an interest in Pakcoin. Its value proposition centers on facilitating instant, low-cost payments globally while serving the Pakistani market through localized services. The project's ecosystem includes the Pakcoin E-Wallet, which offers instant access to digital assets with complete control over holdings. Its QR code payment system is designed to eliminate manual entry of wallet addresses and reduce transaction errors. At the same time, prospective users should weigh these features against reported risks, including Tracxn's classification of the company as deadpooled and the official notice that YoBit is currently trading an old chain of PAK.
Pakcoin is used primarily as a medium of exchange for fast, low-cost payments within its network and across the globe. Its core utility includes sending and receiving PAK through app-based wallets, paper wallets, and the web-based Pakcoin E-Wallet. Pakcoin launched a merchants payment system on June 10, 2018, letting merchants convert all or some of the pakcoins received in a transaction to PKR. The Pakcoin E-Wallet's QR code payment functionality allows merchants to accept Pakcoins by displaying their wallet QR code. Customers can pay instantly by scanning it with a built-in camera scanner, eliminating manual entry of wallet addresses and reducing transaction errors.
The Pakcoin ecosystem has centered on its E-Wallet platform and QR code payment functionality. The Pakcoin E-Wallet is described as a web-based wallet for secure digital asset management, allowing users to store, send, and receive Pakcoins with bank-level security, encrypted storage, and two-factor authentication. Development milestones include the first stable release of Pakcoin Wallets for Linux and Windows after thorough testing on different systems, with a Mac wallet stated to be released soon. However, the ecosystem has faced significant setbacks in recent years. Per an official notice, YoBit is currently trading an old chain of PAK, and users should refer to the project's announcement before transacting. Tracxn lists Pakcoin as a deadpooled company based in Rawalpindi, Pakistan, last updated September 30, 2026.

Older sources that tag it as PoW reflect the pre-2019 design. Given the reported operational status of the project, including Tracxn listing the company as deadpooled as of September 30, 2026, prospective miners should carefully verify the current state of the network, mining software availability, and block reward schedule before committing resources.
Pakcoin offers app-based wallets and paper wallets, as well as the web-based Pakcoin E-Wallet. The project describes the E-Wallet as offering bank-level security, encrypted storage, and two-factor authentication; these are the project's own descriptions and no independent audit is cited in the available sources. The E-Wallet also includes transaction verification, automatic session protection, and comprehensive activity monitoring. To keep PAK safe, users should enable two-factor authentication, use strong and unique passwords, verify transaction details before confirming, and monitor account activity regularly. Paper wallets can be used for long-term cold storage, provided the private keys are kept offline and secure. Per an official notice, YoBit is currently trading an old chain of PAK, and users should refer to the project's announcement before transacting. Holders should exercise heightened caution, verify the current status of any wallet or service before use, and consider the reported risks when deciding how to store their assets.
