what's Bellscoin?
Bellscoin is a proof-of-work cryptocurrency utilizing the Scrypt algorithm, enabling merged-mining with Dogecoin and Litecoin for enhanced security. Launched on November 28, 2013, by Billy Markus—the creator of Dogecoin eight days later—it is themed around "Bells," the in-game currency from Nintendo's Animal Crossing series. Block rewards are randomly variable and diminish across epochs, fostering progressive scarcity. The network supports Ordinals inscriptions and re-enables opcodes like OP_CAT, marking it as the first Scrypt-based chain to do so. Revived in 2023 while preserving its original genesis block and codebase, Bellscoin operates as a UTXO-based layer-1 blockchain suitable for decentralized applications. It features BEL-20 token standard compatibility and open-source tools like indexers for UTXO chains. Mining accessibility via major pools underscores its decentralized ethos and ties to established Scrypt ecosystems.
