# Welcome to Pandacoin

## Welcome to Pandacoin

*Honest and fair cryptocurrency for everyone.*

Pandacoin (**PND**) is an independent, community-driven blockchain launched in 2014. It combines **Proof-of-Work** and **Proof-of-Stake** in a single hybrid chain, runs a **100% fee burn** to offset inflation, and ships with **no premine and no ICO** — just code, a community, and a decade of uptime.
