Gulden is an open-source, decentralized cryptocurrency project that originated in the Netherlands in 2014. Created by Rijk Plasman, its primary mission is to provide a user-friendly and accessible digital payment system that can serve as an alternative to traditional banking. The project emphasizes ease of use, with mobile wallets and features designed for mainstream adoption. The Gulden blockchain utilizes a unique consensus mechanism that combines Proof-of-Work (PoW2) with a Proof-of-Stake system called "Witness," aiming for enhanced security, decentralization, and transaction speed.
