Bata (BTA), also known as Barter And Trade Alternative, is a cryptocurrency designed to replace trade dollars in traditional barter systems. Its main objective is to introduce Barter on the Blockchain, revolutionizing the way people trade. The project's vision is to establish a new commerce system called Barterchain, which not only aims to create new job opportunities but also aims to break away from the current debt-based monetary system.

According to the team behind BATA, the cryptocurrency offers several key features:

- Dynamic Blocks: Blocks are generated based on block height and difficulty, ensuring the absence of cheap blocks.

- Instamine Protection: To prevent unfair distribution, instamine protection is triggered after 5 blocks of a single algorithm are mined within a short period of time.

- Deadlock Protection: Even when no new blocks are found, the difficulty is reduced, allowing for faster block mining, especially after a period of high hash rate.

- Spork Control Over Block Processing: The team claims to have full control over block processing without requiring wallet upgrades.
