Symbol is a public layer 1 blockchain that succeeded NEM, launched in 2021 on a rebuilt codebase called Catapult. It uses a Proof of Stake Plus (PoS+) consensus that rewards both stake and network activity, and it offers built-in features such as custom tokens (mosaics), namespaces, multisignature accounts and aggregate transactions without requiring users to write smart contracts. XYM is the native currency used for fees, harvesting (block production) and staking weight.
The community-run Symbol portal describes Symbol as "a public blockchain inspired by NEM" that launched in 2021 on the Catapult codebase after years of redevelopment focused on performance, functionality and consensus. Rather than a general smart-contract virtual machine, Symbol provides a fixed set of protocol-level features that applications combine through transactions. This makes common tasks such as issuing tokens, managing multisig accounts or running atomic multi-party transfers simpler and more predictable, at the cost of flexibility compared with programmable chains.
Symbol grew out of the NEM project, which launched in 2014. The Catapult client, written in C++, was developed as a next-generation engine for NEM and became the basis of the Symbol mainnet in March 2021. Symbol's source code, SDKs, wallets and explorer are maintained in the public Symbol GitHub organization. The portal at symbol-community.com is run by community members rather than a single company. Individual founders are not named on the official documentation pages.
PoS+ consensus The consensus documentation explains that an account's importance combines stake (XYM held) with activity (fees paid and node reward distributions). Activity carries a 5% weight and stake the rest. Only accounts holding more than 10,000 XYM are eligible to harvest, and importance is recalculated every 720 blocks, roughly 6 hours.
Harvesting Block production is called harvesting. Accounts can harvest locally on their own node, remotely through a proxy key (the method recommended for node owners), or through delegated harvesting, where an eligible account asks a node to harvest for it without handing over its main key.
Blocks and finality The block documentation states that blocks complete every 30 seconds. Finalization happens through voting nodes: a block becomes final once more than 67% of the stake selected for voting has voted for it, and the docs state that no finalized block will ever be rolled back.
XYM pays transaction fees, determines eligibility and weight for harvesting through PoS+, and is the reward paid to harvesters. The harvesting docs state that on the public network 5% of harvesting rewards go to a network sink account used for reward programs, and a node can direct up to 25% of rewards to a beneficiary account. Voting nodes must also hold a minimum XYM balance to take part in finalization.
Symbol's main difference is its feature-driven design: tokens, names, multisig and atomic bundles are protocol features rather than contracts written by third parties. Its PoS+ model also rewards network use, not just wealth, by including fees paid and node participation in an account's importance score.
Compared with its predecessor NEM, Symbol replaces the Proof of Importance consensus with PoS+, adds finality and uses a new C++ client. Compared with chains such as Algorand or Tezos, which offer smart-contract languages, Symbol leans on built-in transaction types. It is closer in spirit to Hedera, which also exposes token services as native network functions.
The portal and project materials describe applications built in Japan, including creator tipping, loyalty programs and NFT services.
Security comes from PoS+ block production combined with a separate finalization layer run by voting nodes. Remote and delegated harvesting let users take part without exposing their main private key on a node. The technical reference documents the cryptography, transaction format and consensus in detail.
Symbol is an example of a layer 1 designed around ready-made features rather than a general virtual machine, and it carries forward one of the older blockchain communities from NEM. For users who want tokens, multisig and atomic transfers without writing contracts, it offers a simpler model.
XYM is a native coin, so it trades on centralized exchanges rather than on DEXs of other chains. After buying, withdraw to a Symbol wallet using a Symbol address.
As of this writing, Gate lists a tradable XYM/USDT pair. Listings change over time, so check the exchange's own market page and confirm it supports XYM withdrawals on the Symbol mainnet.
