Bytecoin (BCN), not to be confused Bytecoin (BTE), was the first implementation of the CryptoNote protocol launched in July 2012. Since launching, several improvements have been introduced including multisignature transactions[26] and several security updates. In 2013, the original CryptoNote Java implementation was rewritten using C++.[27]

The Bytecoin blockchain contains some extra information not directly related to money transfers: several blocks include geographic coordinates of universities, educational facilities among other buildings.[28] Blocks generated since August 11, 2012 contain quotes from Cyphernomicon, Neuromancer by William Gibson and other authors.[29]

On March 31, 2015 Bytecoin developers announced their roadmap for several upcoming releases.[30] The following improvements were mentioned among others:-

* Payment gateway capable of receiving and sending thousands transactions simultaneously.
* Desktop GUI wallet software (released few weeks later in April 2015[31])
* Several API layers for integration with other software.
* Blockchain-based aliases system.
* Blockchain-based assets.
* Smart contracts with embedded turing-complete language.
