Scala is a secure, anonymous and mobile-friendly cryptocurrency offering easy-to-use solutions to ensure financial privacy. The network operates with a Proof-of-Work (PoW) consensus mechanism that has been designed to be very efficient on CPUs and ARM devices.

XLA is the native utility coin that is used for:
- Fees for processing transactions and storing data
- Rewarding miners for their contribution to securing the network
- Enabling features in Scala’s applications ecosystem

Scala applications include:
- Android Miner that allows any mobile device to mine XLA and get mining rewards: https://github.com/scala-network/MobileMiner/releases
- GUI, CLI and mobile wallets to easily store, send and receive XLA on any platform
- Network Explorer to provide information about transactions and the understanding of network performance
- Scala Share which is a decentralized and IPFS-based file-sharing tool: https://share.scalaproject.io/
