With its halving rate every 2.1 million blocks, Feathercoin is limited to 336 million coins. Approximately 16 times more than Bitcoin and 4 times more than Litecoin. Average block time is about 60 seconds, which, compared to Litecoin (2.5 minutes) and Bitcoin (8.4 minutes), is considerabily fast.

A fork is a situation in which a blockchain splits into two separate chains temporarily or permanently. Forks are a natural occurrence during mining, where two chains following the same consensus rules temporarily have the same accumulated proof-of-work and are both considered valid. They can also occur as a consequence of the use of two distinct sets of rules trying to govern the same blockchain. Forks have been used in cryptocurrencies in order to add new features to a blockchain or to reverse the effects of hacking or catostrophic bugs on a blockchain as was the case with the fork between Ethereum and Ethereum Classic. Notably, blockchain forks have been widely discussed in the context of the bitcoin scalability problem.
