NIX is Proof of Stake (PoS) coin and allows holders of any amount to stake their coins in order to receive rewards. You can either stake your coins directly from your own supported wallets or easily create a smart contract with an LPoS provider.

With NIX's Leased Proof of Stake (LPoS), you can host and maintain a service which will allow you to stake coins on the behalf of other people for which you can collect a percentage of the rewards as a fee.

Every eCommerce merchant is now able to accept NIX as payment currency. To make this more accessible, NIX is featured on SwirlPay ****and has also released an Add-On for WooCommerce.
