WEMIX is a high-performance EVM-compatible open-source protocol powered by the SPoA (Stake-based Proof of Authority) consensus algorithm, which is secured by 40 decentralized authority nodes (40 WONDERS), operated by highly-qualified global partners. WEMIX also applies the variable total gas fee formula which is part of [EIP-1559](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/article/technical-walkthrough-of-eip-1559), an implementation of the transaction pricing mechanism dynamically expanding and contracting gas prices intended to deal with momentary transaction spikes in the network. The mechanism simply makes it so that continuous attempts at malicious network spams inevitably become too expensive and therefore impractical for attackers, functioning as a reinforced security layer within the ecosystem.

WEMIX was founded in 2018 by WEMADE TREE(now Wemix PTE. LTD.), a subsidiary company of WEMADE, and began the journey with a solid vision to create a blockchain gaming platform servicing various games, connecting the in-game and the real world economy via tokenomics. In August of 2021, WEMADE launched the flagship title, MIR4, on the WEMIX platform, triggering an unprecedented paradigm shift in the gaming industry. MIR4 has achieved unequaled success only four months into launch with more than 1.4M concurrent users and 20M cumulative registered users from more than 170 countries worldwide. WEMIX has spearheaded the P2E market ever since. On October 20th 2022, WEMADE released WEMIX3.0, its own independent blockchain network, to further enhance the mega-ecosystem and establish WEMIX Coin as a key currency in the blockchain industry.
