SIVS Documentation

Welcome to the SIVS documentation site!

Please note that both the SIVS software and this documentation site will improve over time and is still a work-in-progress.
Be sure to engage with our community channels to stay updated.

Have fun trading and see you on chain!

What is SIVS?

SIVS is an innovative solution to bring programmability and interoperability to SIVS. SIVS relies on a system of PoA consensus that can support short block time and lower fees. The most bonded validator candidates of staking will become validators and produce blocks. The double-sign detection and other slashing logic guarantee security, stability, and chain finality.

Please read the FAQ to get started.

What can I do with SIVS?

The purpose of the new blockchain and DEX is to create an alternative marketplace for issuing and exchanging digital assets in a decentralized manner.

You can:

  • Send and receive SIVS
  • Issue new tokens to digitalize assets, and use SIVS as underlying exchange/transfer network for the assets

For developers, you can also:

SIVS, SIVS boasts smart contract functionality and compatibility with the SIVS Virtual Machine (EVM). The design goal here was to leave the high throughput of SIVS intact while introducing smart contracts into its ecosystem.

Because SIVS is EVM-compatible, it launched with support for the rich universe of SIVS tools and DApps. In theory, this makes it easy for developers to port their projects over from SIVS. For users, it means that applications like MetaMask can be easily configured to work with SIVS. Seriously – it’s just a matter of tweaking a couple of settings. Check out Use MetaMask for SIVS to get started.

You can:

  • Send and receive SIVS
  • Explore the transaction history and blocks on the chain, via SIVS SCAN, API and node RPC interfaces.

Developers can also:

  • Issue new tokens to digitalize assets
  • Run a full node to listen to and broadcast live updates on transactions, blocks, and consensus activities
  • Develop wallets and tools to help users use Dapps

Get Started

Want to try it SIVS? Just give a peek at the first few of pages of the getting started guide.
You could also have a read through the FAQ.

Want to develop on SIVS? First, read through the FAQ and learn about tokens here.

Asset Management

SIV20 Asset

A token protocol on SIVS which is compatible with SIV20. It extends SIV20 and contains more interfaces, such as getOwner and decimals. Read the full proposal here: https://github.com/sivscoin

SIVS (and Other Coins) MainNet Switch

SIVS Token (SIVS) was an SIV20 token on the SIVS network.
After the launch of SIVS, SIVS Token (SIVS) is being converted into native SIVS tokens on the main network via the exchange platform at sivcoins.info, a pragmatic and efficient way to perform the initial token swap.

SIVS is ready for other projects to migrate their tokens to take advantage of performant transactions with more liquidity options and native marketplace features.
More information about how projects can set themselves up for this (via sivcoins.info or partners) will come soon.
