From your first YA to running a validator — the things most people want to know, explained plainly. Search or filter by topic below.
YACoin (YA) is a Web3 platform: a self-custody wallet, a swap with bridging built in, a marketplace, staking, and on-chain governance, all reachable from one account. YA is the token that pays network fees, secures the chain through staking, and carries governance votes.
Most projects ship one piece — a wallet, or a DEX, or a marketplace — and leave you to stitch the rest together. YACoin runs them as one platform on one account, so bridging, swapping, and voting do not each require a new app, a new approval, and a new seed phrase.
Protocol engineers, cryptographers, and product people with public track records — no anon founders. Leadership and advisors are listed in the Team section of the main site.
YACoin follows the digital-asset frameworks of the jurisdictions it operates in, and we publish our licensing status per region. This is not legal advice — please check YA's status in your own jurisdiction before you buy.
YA is available on Dandex and other decentralized exchanges, plus selected centralized exchanges. The fastest way is through the "Buy YACoin" button on this site, which routes you directly to the swap. Always verify the contract address before transferring.
The official YACOIN contract address is 0xB8Ce109cf97b614b562A5E274C8Df22526f190A9. Always cross-check this address on the main site and official social channels before interacting. Fake tokens with similar names exist.
Transfers on the Ya chain settle in roughly 3 seconds for a fraction of a cent. Cross-chain movements depend on the destination network but typically complete in under a minute. There are no monthly account fees and no hidden conversion spreads.
For self-custody, use the official Yacoin wallet or any non-custodial wallet that supports the underlying networks. Write down your seed phrase offline and never share it. For large holdings, consider a hardware wallet combined with multi-sig.
Yes. The contract was audited by EVMSmart using hybrid static and AI analysis. The full report, including findings by severity, function surface, and standards coverage, is published on the main site in the Audit section. Review it before interacting.
No. Keys are generated on your device and never leave it, so we cannot move your funds, freeze them, or restore them for you. Multi-sig and biometric recovery exist so that losing one device does not mean losing everything.
Your assets stay yours. The wallet is self-custody and the contracts run on-chain independently of our servers, so you can export your keys into any compatible wallet and keep transacting. The client is open-source for exactly this reason.
Self-custody means only you control your keys — which is the safest model if practiced correctly. The official wallet supports biometric recovery and multi-sig to reduce the risk of losing access. The trade-off is responsibility: if you lose your keys and backups, no one can recover them.
By locking YA you help validate transactions and secure the network, earning a share of real protocol revenue in return — not inflated token rewards. Lock-up periods range from 30 to 365 days, with longer locks generally offering higher yield.
The main risk is opportunity cost: your YA is locked for the chosen period and cannot be sold during that time. Slashing applies only to validators acting against network rules, not to regular stakers. Yield is sourced from protocol revenue, so it is sustainable rather than inflationary.
Yield is drawn from real protocol revenue — transaction fees, swap fees, and bridge fees — and distributed pro-rata to stakers based on the amount and duration locked. The current annualized rate is published live in the wallet. Rates fluctuate with network activity.
Early unstaking is not supported within the lock period by default — the lock is what secures the network and earns yield. Some future governance proposals may introduce a penalty-based exit, but for now, choose a lock duration you can commit to.
YA is native to the Ya chain and bridged to Ethereum and Solana, with more networks added through governance. Bridges are audited and capped to limit risk. Always use the official bridge interface linked from the main site.
Yes. The smart-contract SDK supports escrow, payroll, and recurring payments, with documentation and example contracts. You can settle in roughly 3 seconds for a fraction of a cent — built for developers who ship. See the Developers link on the main site.
Bridges lock YA on the source chain and mint a corresponding wrapped token on the destination, with the reverse process for returning. Each bridge is secured by a multi-sig of validators and subject to transfer limits. Movements typically complete in under a minute.
YA holders propose and vote on fee models, marketplace listings, treasury spending, and new integrations. Proposals require a minimum quorum and pass by majority of voting weight. Voting power scales with holdings, with caps to prevent plutocracy.
