NEM ( New Economy Movement ) is a public blockchain Launched on March 31, 2015.[1][2]The native currency is XEM.[3]
The idea for NEM came from UtopianFuture on the bitcointalk.org forum and was inspired by the NXT project to implement the NEM blockchain.[4] The goal was to create a new economic zone based on the principles of financial freedom, decentralization, equality, and solidarity.[5]
After an open alpha test and an open beta test, the mainnet was launched on March 31, 2015.[1][6]
NEM defines XEM as its native currency, with a total issuance of approximately 9 billion (8,999,999,999) XEM, all of which were issued when NEM went public and will not be issued again. XEM is used to pay for transaction fees and to reward those who approve transactions, known as harvesters.[3]
NEM uses Proof-of-Importance (PoI) as a consensus algorithm, and the process of block generation is called harvesting.
In PoI, the importance of a NEM account is determined by the number of XEMs owned and the number and amount traded to and from the wallet, and about every minute, the fees in the block are randomly distributed to the wallet according to the importance.[3]
NEM has the ability to issue tokens, and these tokens are called mosaics. The native currency XEM is a type of mosaic, a token that is built in from the beginning.To create a token, a domain name is created in the namespace area and a mosaic is created underneath it.[7]
