Lots of cryptocurrency projects which emerged in the past year advocating their coin and chain is transparent had tried to obscure their spendings or spent their funds in the name of “doing something good for the community” where they siphoned the coins and provided no value to their ecosystem.

Staying faithful to its motto, SUQA thrives to make blockchain grow while staying transparent to its users and investors. Bear market of 2018 has thought to be thoroughly open and be as clear as possible on every move that directly affects the project, otherwise, as we’ve see in the past, projects fade away slowly and painfully because they cannot keep up with their users’ and investors’ expectations.

SUQA believes in equality in wealth so it is founded with no pre-mined blocks, made no initial coin offerings, had no pre-sale phase and uses no masternodes. Initial earning of SUQA is based on solely and exlusively with mining a.k.a. PoW. After that there are two ways to increase the value in community by using SUQA. One is that you can lock your coins in your wallet with time locked interest system and earn interest, and two you can use SUQA to invest in cryptolancers, startups or make a charitable contribution.

Founders Fee

Founders fee, also known as the developer fee, is the only revenue of the SUQA Foundation. However, unlike any other coin projects, this founders fee has spent (and being spend) according to the following criteria:

Distribution of SUQA Founders Fee

SUQA Foundation takes 9.09% founders fee from every mined block (which is approximately 454.5 SUQA per block as of November 2018). This revenue is split into 6 categories and every single coin is used to increase the value of the ecosystem, the coin itself and the SUQA Foundation.
