Huntercoin

Huntercoin, a pioneering Open Source Cryptocurrency launched in February 2014, has embarked on a new chapter by migrating to the Solana blockchain. Originally a groundbreaking experiment similar to Bitcoin, Huntercoin distinguished itself as a "play2earn" innovator long before the term became mainstream. Unlike Bitcoin, where coins are mined through computational power, ~80% of Huntercoin's coins were obtainable by players collecting them within a virtual universe embedded in the blockchain—a concept driven by a simple yet engaging game featuring Player vs Player combat to compete for resources. This unique approach, dubbed Human (or AI) mining, set Huntercoin apart as a trailblazer in blockchain gaming.

Though it does not run on the XAYA platform, Huntercoin shares its technological roots and development team with XAYA, which evolved from the same innovative spirit. Released as a live test to explore how blockchain could sustain fully functional game worlds, Huntercoin proved its concept brilliantly, laying the groundwork for future advancements in decentralized gaming.

Now, in 2025, Huntercoin’s legacy finds new life on Solana, a blockchain renowned for its speed, scalability, and low-cost transactions. This migration honors Huntercoin's history as a cryptographically secure, decentralized, and innovative project while harnessing Solana’s cutting-edge infrastructure to enhance its virtual universe. Players can once again dive into the iconic game world, collecting coins and battling for resources, all powered by Solana’s high-performance network. Join us as Huntercoin bridges its storied past with a dynamic future—ready to redefine "play2earn" for a new era.
