[Grin] (https://grin-tech.org/) is an in-progress implementation of the MimbleWimble protocol. Many characteristics are still undefined but the following constitutes a first set of choices:

* Clean and minimal implementation, aiming to stay as such.
* Follows the MimbleWimble protocol, which provides great anonymity and scaling characteristics.
* Cuckoo Cycle proof of work.
* Relatively fast block time (a minute).
* Fixed block reward over time with a decreasing dilution.
* Transaction fees are based on the number of Outputs created/destroyed and total transaction size.
* Smooth curve for difficulty adjustments.
