The price per unit is driven by extreme scarcity. While many cryptocurrencies have supplies in the millions or billions, 42-coin is strictly capped at a total of 42 coins. Because the supply is so small, the value of a single whole coin appears significantly higher than other assets, even if the total project valuation is relatively modest. It functions as a rare digital collector's asset rather than a high-volume currency.
42-coin launched in 2014 as a fair-launch experiment with no ICO or premine. Its name is a tribute to "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy," but its technical history is quite serious. After a supply controversy in its early years, a community-led revival in 2016 restored the strict 42-coin cap. Today, it is recognized as one of the oldest "store of value" experiments and remains maintained by a dedicated community of developers and enthusiasts.
Due to its rarity, 42-coin is available on select trading platforms. The native coin can be found on exchanges such as LBank. Additionally, there are wrapped versions of the asset available on decentralized trading protocols and smart chain ecosystems. These wrapped versions allow the rare asset to be traded in decentralized finance environments while the native version remains on its original legacy blockchain.
You effectively cannot mine new coins because the maximum supply has already been reached. The network currently operates using a hybrid Proof-of-Stake (PoS) and Proof-of-Work (PoW) model. While users can still participate in mining or staking to secure the network and process transactions, the block reward is zero. Participants only earn rewards through transaction fees collected from network activity.
The native 42-coin operates on its own independent legacy blockchain using the Scrypt algorithm. To make this rare asset more accessible for modern trading, wrapped versions have been created on smart contract-enabled networks. These tokens represent the native coin at a 1:1 ratio. This allows holders to move their assets between the original secure blockchain and decentralized exchanges for better liquidity and utility.
Recovering coins from 2014 is highly challenging. In 2016, the project underwent a mandatory network upgrade and coin swap to resolve supply issues. Coins from the original 2014 blockchain are part of a "legacy" chain that is no longer active or supported. Since the official swap window closed years ago, these old coins are generally considered obsolete and difficult to move to the modern chain without direct community developer intervention.
