What is BitShares (BTS)?

It was first introduced in July 2014 under the name "ProtoShares" (PTS), but less than a year later it changed its name to "BitShares" (BTS). The BitShares platform is run by a decentralized autonomous company (DAC), which gives $BTS token holders control over the network’s development and the features that will be added in the future.

$BTS Token and Its Utilities

The BitShares (BTS) token, is a native utility token that can be used for many things, including the production of “BitAssets,” or smart coins that may represent nearly anything, such as reward points, collateralized fiat-pegged tokens, and IOUs. It utilizes Graphene, an open-source blockchain implementation, that can handle up to 100,000 transactions per second (TPS), which is quicker than both MasterCard and VISA put together.

One of the few blockchain platforms, BitShares, has done away with addresses entirely. Instead, it distinguishes people through simple memos, making it one of the most approachable crypto sites. It is also designed around a well-known referral program that shares upgrade costs between referrers and the BitShares network to encourage network expansion.

As of August 2022, BitShares is in the process of a relaunch and will be going through several major changes going forward.
