    The EverGrow Coin cryptocurrency debuted in September. All 60,000-plus EGC digital coin holders earn 8% rewards — sent to the user’s wallet as stablecoin Binance — from every purchase or sale, and users have earned $10 million in rewards so far.

    Half of the EGC token supply was burned and taken out of circulation when it launched, and another 2% of the supply has since been burned. Another 5% of the EGC supply is in the Airdrop and Team Wallet but is locked and doesn’t earn rewards. Rewards go to the remaining 44%.

    Each buy and sell involving EverGrow coins sends 4% of the transaction to PancakeSwap, which settles the common liquidity issue with decentralized exchanges employing the concept of liquidity pools. All buy/sell trades involving EGC are also matched with liquidity pools.

    Every EverGrow transaction also triggers a 3% collection, which is converted to Binance and sent to the BuyBack Wallet, which buys EGC from exchanges and removes the purchased tokens permanently from circulation.

    EverGrow Coin also has an anti-whale program in place with a 1% additional charge is added to all sales. The EGC smart contract also won’t allow simultaneous sales that exceed 0.2% of the crypto’s total supply.

    The team that developed EverGrow is also working on several products to increase the coin’s viability, including a Binance Smart Chain-based NFT marketplace and content subscription platform.
