Let us start with the basics. The Genesis Addresses are addresses that deal with the aspect of the formation of the preliminary supply of a cryptocurrency, in this case, it is Artemine. Importantly, these addresses have been credited with some amount of coins, which may be self-mined within a specific period. The accessibility or availability of these coins on each Genesis Addresses is computed using a mathematical formula. This formula isn’t complicated because it has been incorporated or built-in within the transfer functions of the smart contract. The primary function of the formula is to hinder or prevent a user from making the transfer of funds that exceed the allowable amount.
Genesis Addresses has its benefits; however, there are certain limitations that one has to consider, which includes:
- When the Genesis Addresses are generated in the course of crowd sale, there will not be room for generation of additional Genesis Addresses.
- Genesis Addresses cannot accept ARTE

- Genesis Addresses can be transferred and traded.
Note: It is important to note that the other ARTE addresses are not influenced by the limitations of the Genesis Addresses listed above.
