Triton began as an ESports project. But during 2018, the team found itself involved in many of the "mint and burn" stablecoin discussions surrounding Haven Protocol. While we recognized that the concept of "mint and burn" by Haven was a radical all-crypto improvement to centralized fiat-backed stablecoins,we felt the proposed implementation left too many opportunities for price manipulation failure. Triton has 3 mining pools and uses the CryptoNight Lite algorithm.
