Miami and New York City are the two debut urban areas to start raising money, through MiamiCoin and NYCCoin separately. Be that as it may, neither Miami nor New York City really own MiamiCoin (MIA) or NYCCoin, rather their depository wallets are loaded with Stacks.

Residents must purchase STX in order to acquire CityCoins

As indicated by a show given at the North American Bitcoin Conference 2022 in Miami, by CityCoins Community Lead Andre Serrano, MiamiCoin has raised $24.7 million worth of STX, while NYCCoin has raised $30.8 million that is held in its city depository.

For occupants to obtain CityCoins, they should initially buy STX on a trade like Okcoin or Binance. On Tuesday, Coinbase had wanted to list STX for exchanging, however deferred the send off until additional notification.

Stacks is the blockchain that tries to make Bitcoin (BTC) programmable. CityCoins are fungible tokens based on the Stacks blockchain, and one CityCoins token agreement is sent per city. Serrano said:

CityCoins can possibly change how individuals collaborate with their urban areas by adjusting the motivations between nearby state run administrations and city occupants.

He added that CityCoins would be able to open a city’s social worth while giving new open doors to makers, looking at how Los Angeles is known for Hollywood, to Miami’s capability to be known as the crypto capital of the U.S. assuming that MiamiCoin succeeds.

At a significant level, it’s the local area that mines to make CityCoins. Mining CityCoins is performed by sending STX tokens into the savvy contract in a given Stacks block. Excavators are then compensated with new CityCoins tokens. There is no hard cap on CityCoins, in contrast to Bitcoin.

CityCoins are programmable

As per Serrano, CityCoins gives a city a plan of action by offering motivating forces to its residents to procure easy revenue: 30% of mining grants get shipped off the city’s custodial save wallet, while 70% of mining rewards are disseminated to individuals who decide to stake their CityCoins.

He clarified that the more significant MiamiCoin turns into, the more excavators will mine it, which expands how much STX blocks they will contribute. 

As a fairly aberrant outcome, the assets in the depository develop, and on the grounds that Stacks yield Bitcoin, those continues of MiamiCoin mining can then be conveyed as profits to coin holders.

CityCoins are programmable, implying that brilliant agreements can be created around CityCoins tokens. 

Serrano offered some true use cases that incorporate giving inhabitants limits for utilizing public transportation or shopping locally, or even the capacity to pay for NFTs. Tokens could likewise conceivably be utilized to make nearby vaults and property deeds.

How finances will be dispensed in Miami is still up in the air. Serrano proposed, notwithstanding, that a need for the city is to further develop the state funded instruction framework. 

When the city chooses to guarantee and change STX over to USD to finance a public venture, then, at that point, inhabitants may begin to get BTC profits.

To get public criticism concerning how Miami ought to spend their assets, MiamiCoin has an application called MiamiVoice that permits occupants to propose thoughts and decision on them.
