Particl

Particl is a privacy-minded cryptocurrency built around keeping transactions and marketplace activity harder to trace. By our assessment, that focus is its main attraction, and it makes sense for people who want more than a plain payment token. The trade-off is the usual one for privacy coins: the harder a system is to inspect, the less straightforward it feels to trust, explain, or plug into ordinary exchanges and services. In practice this kind of coin tends to live or die on whether a user wants that extra layer of obscurity. Particl sits closer to the niche end of the field than to the big everyday names, and it asks for a little more tolerance for complexity than a simple store-of-value coin does.
