The much talked about CloakCoin deserves a comprehensive description to help you with understanding the cryptocurrency, and help you how you can invest in it. Before wasting any more time, let us dive into it.
So what is CloakCoin all about?
CloakCoin is blockchain platform with the main objective of offering a private, secure, completely decentralized, and untraceable digital monetary transactions to its users. The aim to do so with the peer to peer network. The company was the first ever cryptocurrencies out there to aim at the importance of privacy when it comes to crypto transactions. The company believes in offering complete anonymity and privacy to its users.
The ‘anonymous’ CloakCoin team-
The company takes the anonymity factor quite seriously and not just theoretically. We can say so after looking at the twenty members of the company on the CloakCoin website whose real names are kept under covers, and instead, anonymous names such as ‘CryptoSnow’ for the German Supporter, and ‘lasvegas83’ for Project Manager are used. This team of twenty members includes a few developers, some supporters, project managers, coordinators from various regions and so on. Although it is strange to keep the team members anonymous, it certainly sits well with the company’s motto around anonymity.
One must not confuse the anonymity factor of the team with being a novice. For instance, the Tech lead of the company with the name- ‘Deepend’ holds a strong experience of twenty years in the field of software engineering, engineering management, and architecture.
How CloakCoin can benefit you-
Two things back the security structure of the company. Firstly it is supported by Enigma which is an off blockchain mixing protocol. It enables the crypto platform users to behave like a ‘mixer node.’ This makes sure that the anonymity stays intact. In combination with the Enigma system, the company uses Cloakshield to double the security.
Cloakshield is based on something called ECDH which stands for ‘Elliptical Curve Diffie-Hellman.’ It is an agreement protocol. It is used to making sure that there is ‘end to end’ encrypted transactions that are sealed with security on the CloakCoin platform.
The team CloakCoin aims to make the crypto-coin accessible to everyone through all the regularly used devices such as Android smartphones, iOS-based phones, and even desktops and other computers. The company is able to do so with the help of a consensus system called- ‘Proof of Stake.’ This system frees the crypto coin mining from the dependency on the complicated hardware.

How is CloakCoin different from the other crypto coins present on the market?
- The number one reason that makes CloakCoin unique is its thought-provoking pioneer approach towards ‘privacy’ and ‘anonymity’ in the crypto coins transactions. In 2014 the concept was released.
- Another reason that sets apart the crypto-coin from its competitors is that Cloak uses the off blockchain system called Enigma to encrypt the transactions. This helps the transactions to stay undercover on the entire network.
- Another interesting fact that makes the crypto-coin special are that the Cloakers, e. the users of the crypto-coin are like mixer nodes when the transaction takes place. Every time they support the Enigma, they are rewarded with a 1.8 percent transaction fee. The power in the hands of the users frees them from depending on the master nodes or from seeking any external ledger.
