Exchanges can offer variable rewards to eligible customers, adding another price to the competition for balances. That makes the historical issuer split useful for adoption forecasts while leaving today’s bank-versus-platform comparison to be established.

Each participating company will build and maintain an MDK Worker: a translation layer that connects its own hardware, mining pool, or system to MDK. The Worker translates that company’s existing interface into a common language that applications built on MDK can understand. Companies do not…
