## What is Paycoin (PCI)?
What is Paycoin (PCI)?
Paycoin (PCI) is a cryptocurrency associated with PayProtocol, a project focused on using blockchain for payments. Its stated goal is to connect digital assets with purchases in everyday settings. The project describes a merchant network in South Korea and names 7-Eleven, Domino’s Pizza and KFC among businesses that have accepted Paycoin. That statement describes the project’s reported acceptance; it does not guarantee that a particular location currently accepts PCI or that the service is available to every user.
PCI is not the same as PayPal or a bank deposit. It is a crypto asset whose price can fluctuate, and payment availability depends on the project’s services, merchant arrangements and local rules. Public sources do not identify PCI as the native token of a particular blockchain, nor does it provide enough detail to establish its technical architecture. Treat claims about acceptance as something to verify with the project and merchant before relying on PCI for a purchase.
## What is PCI used for?
What is PCI used for?
PCI is intended for payments through PayProtocol’s services and merchant network. The project’s focus is spending cryptocurrency on goods and services, rather than using PCI solely as a governance or staking token. Public descriptions also refer to connecting crypto assets with real-world payments, but public sources do not establish which assets, features or payment routes are currently supported in each region.
Before attempting a payment, check whether the PayProtocol app or other official service supports PCI where you live, whether the specific merchant accepts it, and what fees or conversion steps apply. Merchant participation can change, and a business name appearing in project materials does not mean every branch accepts PCI. Public sources do not confirm additional token functions such as voting, staking rewards or access to a particular dApp, so those uses should not be assumed. If you are considering PCI as a payment method, account for price volatility and make sure you understand how refunds and transaction errors are handled.
## Supply, market figures and availability
Supply, market figures and availability
The reported maximum and total supply of PCI is 1.9 billion tokens, with about 1.02 billion in circulation. The difference between circulating and total supply means some tokens are not counted as circulating; the figures alone do not show when or how any remaining tokens may enter circulation. Check current project disclosures for details about allocation, vesting or token releases.
As of 2026-11-05, PCI was about $0.0361, with a reported market capitalization of roughly $36.9 million and fully diluted valuation of about $68.6 million. These are time-specific market figures, not fixed values or forecasts. Prices, trading volume and supply estimates can change, and market capitalization is calculated from price and circulating supply. Public sources do not identify a native or issued-on chain for PCI. Before transferring or purchasing it, confirm the supported network and token contract through an official PayProtocol source; a wrong network or address can make funds inaccessible.
## Risks and storing PCI
Risks and storing PCI
PCI carries the risks common to crypto assets: its price can fall sharply, trading may be limited, and a payment or transfer may be difficult or impossible to reverse. Its usefulness also depends on PayProtocol’s services and merchant acceptance continuing to operate. The stated merchant network should not be treated as a guarantee of current or universal acceptance. Public sources do not specify PCI’s blockchain, contract address, or supported wallets, so do not guess which network or wallet to use.
Only store PCI in a wallet that explicitly supports the verified token and network. Confirm the token details from an official source before sending funds, and make a small test transfer when appropriate. Keep recovery phrases offline and private; anyone who obtains them may control the wallet. Be cautious of unsolicited messages, imitation apps and promises of guaranteed returns. If PCI is held in a custodial service, review its withdrawal terms and security practices. No storage method removes market, technical or service-provider risk.
