WINK is an in-progress implementation of the MimbleWimble protocol, and aims to be all things to all people. By combining multiple digital coins on a single chain, WINK simultaneously satisfies every single economics assumption at once, allowing users to pick and choose exactly what kind of cryptoeconomy they want.
- Inelegant, maximal implementation, checks all the boxes.
- Follows the MimbleWimble protocol, which provides great anonymity and scaling characteristics.
- Uses Confidential Assets to implement almost ten different mimblewimble coins into one blockchain. Each has unique properties which do not affect the economics of any of the other assets on the chain, so you can pick and choose your perfect cryptoeconomic assumptions.
- Transaction fees are based on the number of Outputs created/destroyed and total transaction size.
- Smooth curve for difficulty adjustments.
Wink is still an infant, much is left to be done and contributions are welcome (see below). Check our mailing list archives for the latest status.

WINK wants to satisfy everyone, from those who have never so much as owned a bank account, to professional economists. It wants to be inclusive and welcoming for all walks of life, without judgement. WINK is terribly ambitious, but not at the detriment of others, rather to further us all. It may have strong opinions to stay in line with its objectives, which doesn't mean disrespect of others' ideas.
We believe in pull requests, data and scientific research. We do not believe in unfounded beliefs.
