What Is Reef (REEF)?

Reef is a fast, scalable layer 1 blockchain purpose-built for tokenized equity and alternative investments. With native EVM compatibility and compliance-ready infrastructure including ERC-3643 support.

Reef provides the technical foundation for projects tokenizing real estate, sports equity, and other alternative assets targeting non-accredited retail investors. Reef makes it easy for regulated issuers to deploy securities-compliant tokens without sacrificing the speed and cost advantages of a dedicated L1.

REEF is the native token that is used for:

* Fees for processing transactions and storing data. * Running validator nodes by staking REEF tokens. * Nominating which validator nodes should be part of the network.

Reef is backed by multiple leading funds and venture capitalists including NGC, QCP, Bitcoin.com, Kenetic Capital, LD Capital, TRG Capital, Krypital Group, Genesis Block, Woodstock Fund and others.

Reef Chain development tools include:

* Remix and EVM integrated development environments for uploading and deploying smart contracts. * Reefscan blockchain explorer to assist with deploying validators, bonding and nominating validators, debugging contracts, and understanding network performance. * Reef command line tools that allow developers deploy applications from local environments. * Reef wallet for accessing and interacting with the blockchain

Who Are the Founders of Reef?

Reef was founded by Denko Mancheski. His motivation was to build the most advanced blockchain for retail investors who want to get involved with DeFi, NFTs and Gaming.

Mancheski wanted to help cryptocurrency newcomers overcome the complexities associated with interacting with a blockchain and understanding new concepts such as DeFi and NFTs. Additionally, the ability to give access many bridges to other blockchains so that funds and liquidity can easily be ported to Reef Chain, allowing retail investors to take advantage of high scalability and low fees.

Born in Macedonia, Mancheski said that his passion for FinTech led to him being introduced to blockchain technology. He has described forming a competent team as the biggest challenge associated with bringing Reef to life.

When asked about the personal attributes that will help him become a successful entrepreneur, he added: “I have a very addictive personality — I just can’t stop doing something until I get to the goal that I set for myself.”
