How: by opening access to financial instruments and introducing everyone to the crypto world, turning cryptocurrency into a universal means of payment.

What Makes PLC Ultima Unique?
PLC Ultima uses minting technology, providing a stable source for creating real passive income. According to the project, minting is a more environmentally friendly and energy-saving way of cryptocurrency mining, while PLC Ultima minting is also a way to distribute rewards between users. Minting works similarly to the process of storing funds in a bank account, where a user himself decides how many coins to freeze and for what period (1-3 years). After the set period, users receive the unfrozen coins along with the mined ones.
To generate passive income with PLCU, you need to: install Ultima Wallet, download the Ultima Farm app (it's free), buy one or more Ultima Minter digital certificates, start mining, freeze some number of existing coins in your wallet for a certain time. A smart contract between PLC Ultima and a user, concluded at the start of mining, guarantees the security of operations and payments.
PLC Ultima products include:
Ultima Wallet. It has advanced functionality and is responsible for processing transactions. Wallet connects directly to nodes. Supported on Android and iOS devices.
Ultima Farm. Smartphone app where users can create new coins. PLCU tokens are minted automatically, and the number of minted coins depends on the number of tokens stored in a user's wallet.
Platin Hero. A crowdfunding project that combines minting and blockchain. With Platin Hero, sponsors are rewarded for donating funds.
Platin Pay. A blockchain-based payment system that expands the boundaries of the PLC Ultima ecosystem and makes the use of PLCU tokens simple and convenient. Payment service provider Platin Pay accepts both BTC and other cryptocurrencies.

How Many PLC Ultima (PLCU) Coins Are There in Circulation?
$PLCU was created as a token for everyday use with a maximum supply of 11,000,000 coins. PLC Ultima does not compete with its users for liquidity, but instead burns 100% of its coins. The company also freezes 50% for 1 year, and 30% is stored in users' wallets without participating in farming.
Due to the slowdown in the production rate and the decrease in the number of farms, the production of coins diminishes every month, which benefits the relationship of the community with PLC Ultima and contributes to price stability.
By withdrawing coins from circulation, PLC Ultima pursues the following goals:
A gradual decrease in the volume of cryptocurrency on the market, which leads to the formation of a deficit, which has a positive effect on PLCU rate;
And additional protection of the network from spam.
PLC Ultima claims that burning coins is a transparent and safe solution. As for the PLC Ultima blockchain, it burns 1% of each transaction.
How Is the PLC Ultima Network Secured?
PLC Ultima approaches the issue of network security with great responsibility, taking complex decisions, such as:
Reliable blockchain. The PLC Ultima team chose Litecoin (LTC) as the basis, for it claims that it is a flexible, fast, secure and rapidly evolving blockchain that combines stability, attack resistance and support for segregated witness and atomic transactions.
Hash function. CryptoNight is a hash function of the Ultima PLC project. This option eliminates the use of third-party software for mining and attacks, and at the same time guarantees block protection, excluding the use of specialized mining equipment.
Encryption on mobile devices. The use of hacking tools becomes impossible due to the 6-digit PIN code and the modified wallet encryption algorithm on the devices. An additional layer of security is provided with the option of fingerprint or Face ID access.
On top of that, smart contracts between users and Ultima PLC guarantees the transfer of coins to a user's wallet, but only if all the conditions of the platform are met. At the same time, smart contracts are stored on the blockchain and can be checked/viewed at any time.
