DEEX, a decentralized financial ecosystem based on the BitShares 2.0 platform, is all set to start its token sale campaign on January 10. This exchange offers functionalities comparable to the centralized exchanges without their typical shortcomings.

January 5, 2017

DEEX, a uniquely designed decentralized financial exchange, is pleased to announce that their token sale will start on January 10. DEEX has already successfully closed presale in the end of 2017 and raised 3410 ETH within a month.

This is a reliable and convenient platform where individuals can quickly trade, buy or sell cryptocurrencies using the fiat currencies available in their countries. To start with, DEEX is offering more than ten different cryptocurrencies including Bitcoin, Ethereum and many other altcoins.

With the rapid growth cryptocurrencies over the last few years, the number of people showing interest in cryptocurrencies has expanded rapidly. In the initial stages of the crypto economic development, centralized exchanges were the more preferred option because they are easy to use, easy to access, and provide advanced trading functions such as margin trading, stop-loss, lending and others.  However, these centralized systems are exposed to a number of risks such as security threats, unfair competition, danger of sanctions, political factors, and much more. Till date, the amount of stolen customer funds from centralized exchanges amounts to almost $500 million.

DEEX promises to solve this problem by building the world’s first decentralized exchange with functional benefits close to a centralized exchange, but without its permanent security threats and sanction risks. It also provides the clients complete control over their fund. The core of this decentralized ecosystem is the BitShares 2.0 (Graphene) blockchain, an extremely fast and reliable platform with not a single hacking record since its creation.

Technically speaking, BitShares 2.0 is a high-tech, decentralized, blockchain based platform which allows to create highly efficient financial smart contracts for all areas of economic activity that are used in the global internet space to provide services. Some of its key benefits include up to 100,000 transactions per second, cryptocurrencies trading with a stable price, dynamic account permissions, recurring and schedule payments, referral rewards programs, and much more.

Powered by its robust system architecture, DEEX users will enjoy several benefits including

• A platform for safe ICO conduct in conjunction with the decentralized escrow toolkit from descrow.org.
• A platform for creating a decentralized transparent blockchain system for cryptofund managed by DEEX professional traders
• Cryptocurrency debit cards linked to users’ wallets on DEEX and integration into fiat gateways
• API for the integration of third-party applications and services with the DEEX platform
• Creation of the own agent network of crypto ATMs for the purchase and sale of cryptocurrency for fiat money

Discussing the immense potential of DEEX, a senior spokesperson from the company said, “More and more large market players are now willing to move to  decentralized trading platforms. At the moment, the portfolio of investors interested in the DEEX project exceeds $100 million. The potential interest of large market players is estimated at five times or even more.”

The primary DEEX.CORE tokens share will be as follows

• 75% reserved for pre-ICO and ICO participants
• 15% reserved for the development team
• 7% reserved for the advisors
• 3% reserved for Bounty and PR

More about the DEEX Exchange and their upcoming token presale can be found at https://www.deex.exchange/

DEEX offers generous bounty campaign for posting information in various social media, such as facebook, instagramm, twitter, steemit.

DEEX core token will be used for:

• Setting commissions for trade deals
• Participating in ICOs launched on DEEX platform
• Paying for digital assets and coins listings within DEEX
• Purchasing masternodes for DEEX ecosystem development and support

About DEEX Exchange: DEEX is the first ever decentralized financial exchange that provides individuals a reliable and convenient platform to quickly trade, buy or sell cryptocurrencies with the most popular payment methods for the fiat currencies available in the country of his/her residence. Built around the fast and reliable BitShares 2.0 (Graphene) blockchain platform, it will protect the users from the common shortcomings of centralized exchanges such as such as security threats, unfair competition, danger of sanctions, political factors, and much more.

Learn how a Russian crypto developer is heralding a pioneering local project.

Many exciting new blockchain projects are surfacing throughout the world, due to this market gaining momentum on a global scale.

Russian developer Crypto Patriot, for instance, is collecting funds to build “Patriot Mall,” a trade and entertainment mall in Tyumen.

This endeavour is especially unique because it is not purely digital, but it relates to developments in the physical work, spanning different industries such as real estate, commerce and more.

The Crypto Patriot team plans to construct the aforementioned mall with the help of investors, who would fund the project by acquiring PPMT tokens and touch dividends from the lease of shopping space or by selling their tokens on crypto exchanges.

Patriot Mall will become the first project of its kind in the Eastern Administrative District of Tyumen, which has never had a trading facility hosting shops of different sectors. For this reason, the team is confident that the project will draw a notable fraction of buyers, as well as leaseholders.

The physical space the mall will occupy amounts to 35,194.3 square meters. The project creators concluded partnerships with most potential leaseholders. The ground floor of the mall building will host a farmers’ market, and the organizers have signed an agreement with local agricultural companies. The company sponsoring the project has already invested $5 million, but to finish the construction works, it plans to issue internal tokens and use the ICO to collect 9,450 ETH tokens. The founders of the project aim for the mall to become functional a year after raising the necessary funds. As for the first dividends, investors will be able to receive them as early as three months following the inauguration of the shopping mall.

The most vital component of the Crypto Patriot initiative is the introduction of the Patriot Project Mall Tokens (PPMT). These tokens will be linked to the total leasable area of the mall: every PPMT will amount to 0.01 square meters. Token holders will retain the rights to their allotted part of the leasable area and will receive dividends from the lease.

The originators of the project assert that the investment model is hybrid, being a blend of stock investment and real estate financing).

The tokens will be dispensed one time only, through the Ethereum cryptocurrency platform, with a total of 1,5 mln tokens.

99.5% of such tokens will be distributed during the crowdfunding process, while 0.5% will serve bounty programs. A single Ethereum token will be exchangeable for 140 PPMT, with a system of bonuses related to the acquisition of tokens in place since the pre-sale, which started on December 15th, 2017.

Propy, the world’s first international real-estate marketplace, has just launched the alpha open version of its blockchain-based transaction tool. This new transaction tool will allow individuals to buy and sell properties in California using Bitcoin (BTC).

December 23, 2017

Propy is delighted to announce that the alpha open version of its real estate transaction tool is now up and running. Propy, which believes that it is the first international real-estate marketplace in the world, leverages groundbreaking blockchain technology to solve many of the problems relating to purchasing property across borders. It allows users to purchase property online, and is an excellent outlet for quickly transferring bitcoin wealth into hard assets.

The advent of Propy is great news for the crypto millionaires, crypto traders, and blockchain application enthusiasts looking for a platform that will provides real benefits to them by making it easier to diversify investment through real estate purchase. In addition to increasing real estate turnover by reducing the execution time, it will also minimize the risk of dishonest recordkeeping in mortgage processing significantly. No wonder Propy has already been touted by various advocates as the Amazon of real estate.

Propy initially includes blockchain hashes of the deals into title deeds for recording in official land registries and then offers land registries to replace their databases with the decentralized Propy blockchain registry. The Propy team envisions that, ultimately, the Propy Registry will be adopted by many jurisdictions as an official ledger of record. The execution of each purchase on Propy will involve the use of PRO tokens to unlock smart contracts.

Some key attributes of Propy include:

• Facilitates cross-border payments for users and assists with their documentation
• Allows users to search for properties and brokers in global cities in their native language. Also, provides broad information about neighborhoods, such as walkability, air- and noise-pollution and green building certifications.
• Integrates a blockchain ledger for governments to enable title deed issuance for properties instantly online, in a secure and cost-effective manner.

Propy recently entered into a Memorandum of Understanding with the government of Ukraine and completed a transaction in which a property in Ukraine’s capital Kiev was remotely transferred on-chain and across borders, which Propy believes is historic for the entire Ethereum community. With the launch of its new transaction tool, Propy will now make it possible to buy and sell properties in California for BTC by following a simple nine-step process. Payment in dollars will be available next year.

Within its brief lifespan, Propy has already garnered the attention of top real estate experts. Expressing high expectations about the future of Propy, Andrew Baum, Chairman of the investment committee for CBRE stated, “It would be an enormous step forward if global real estate transactions were to be facilitated by a reliable, automated land registration and transfer system. Propy’s proposed use of blockchain might just offer the key that opens this door.”

The trendsetting media BuzzFeed also mentioned Propy recently, describing it as one of emerging businesses capable of “bringing transparency and security” to real estate markets.

Following the launch of its transaction tool, Propy is planning to start within the next week an education program for local brokers in California via demos and meet-ups.  The company is also looking to start a comprehensive marketing campaign aimed at attracting actual home buyers. The team is currently working on a marketing plan that will be made public in January 2018. A substantial scaling of transactions is expected to take place in the first quarter of 2018.

Propy is inviting all buyers or sellers of homes (in cryptocurrencies) to contact them via Telegram & Reddit. To find out more about the world’s first international real-estate marketplace, please visit http://propy.com/

About Propy: Propy is the world’s first international real-estate marketplace. The team at Propy.com facilitates connections between international entities to enable the seamless purchase of international real estate online for the first time. It aims to solve the problems facing international real estate transactions by creating a novel unified property store and asset transfer platform for the global real estate industry.

Open Trading Network, the first 100% collateralized decentralized exchange, is breaking new grounds in the industry by making exchanges between the blockchain networks fast and secure like never before. The company’s vision is to build a set of applications aimed at making the crypto world open to the common man and all market participants.

November 28, 2017

Open Trading Network Foundation, a non-profit organization based out of Zug, Switzerland, is all set to revolutionize the rapidly expanding global crypto economy by developing a secure system combining numerous isolated blockchain networks into a unified open network. World’s first 100% collateralized decentralized exchange, OTN will allow instant transactions between a wide myriad of blockchain networks. Open Trading Network Foundation claims that this innovation will make lives easier for businesses, individuals, traders, and regulator, while addressing the need for speed and liquidity.

The global market for cryptocurrency has developed at a breakneck speed in the recent years with an exponential growth in the number of cryptocurrencies. The objective of OTN is to make the benefits of this growing crypto economy available to common users and all market participants. They want to accomplish this by creating a set of mass market applications for efficient management of crypto assets, performing cross-market transactions, secure storage of savings, accessing the global marketplace, working with tokenized loyalty systems, and making purchases from a crypto wallet.

The maiden product from the network, OTN.Wallet is in the final stages of development, and expected to be launched very soon.  This multi-currency wallet will serve as a universal tool to store and exchange all types of cryptocurrencies or digital assets.  Users will also enjoy several other important features such as fast and safe transactions, a balanced portfolio, direct exchange, P2P transfers, analytical tools, profitability reports, asset tokenization and detokenization, and much more.

Following the launch of OTN.Wallet, the network’s next two products OTN.Business and OTN.Exchange are expected to arrive shortly. OTN Business is a business application supporting several widely-used operations, including issuing tokens and listing them on exchanges, issuing tokenized loyalty cards, crowdfunding, tokenization of services, integrating payment schemes that use a large number of tokens and cryptocurrencies, integrating custom centralized matching engines, etc.  Whereas, the OTN Exchange will enable superfast placement or orders, maintaining complete transparency of all orders.

Instead of following the common path of collecting funds via an ICO, Open Trading Network has been created in partnership with the distinguished trading business IQ Option. In addition to financing the creation of the network, IQ Option is also providing the platform for its first commercial use.

Staring from October 7, 2017, Open Trading Network Foundation has initiated the process of issuing a total of 100 million OTN tokens every Monday and over the following 104 weeks. The exact distribution plan for the tokens is as follows.

• 42 million to the holders, traders and wallet users on the OTN platform
• 28 million to the shareholders and IQ Option team members
• 30 million will remain with the OTN foundation for the purpose of future distribution and attract strategic partners.

About Open Trading Network: Open Trading Network is the first 100% collateralized decentralized exchange which will allow fully secure exchange between the blockchain networks.

January 1 will be the start of the Public Sale for ShipChain, the project that will use blockchain to change the shipping & logistics market.

ShipChain encompass all methods of freight, and will include an open API architecture that can integrate with existing freight management software.

Simply put, it’s a fully integrated system across the entire supply chain, from the moment a shipment leaves the factory, to the final delivery on the customer’s doorstep; trustless architecture, and transparent blockchain smart contracts.The movement of goods has a significant and growing influence on the daily lives of people around the world.

According to a market report published by Transparency Market Research, “The market’s global value was $8.1 trillion in 2015, and is expected to grow to $15.5 trillion by 2023 , making it one of the largest industries on the planet. The industry is currently 10% of the United States GDP.

Today, the supply chain has serious bottlenecks. The lack of a unified platform prevents the various players from interacting efficiently. Most of the participants in the supply chain use outdated ways to track their shipments. Given that upwards of 65% of the value of a company’s products or services is derived from its suppliers and its supply chain, utilizing older highly ineffective systems results in tremendous amounts of wasted time, resources, and money.

ShipChain was established to address the most significant problems facing the logistics industry today.   The fully integrated system will track across the entire supply chain–from the moment it leaves the factory, field, or farm–to delivering the finished product to the customer’s doorstep; a  trustless system, and transparent blockchain contracts.

The ShipChain system  uses an Ethereum smart contract that can be used by anyone to orchestrate a shipping escrow on the distributed ledger. The overall shipment completion will be stored on the main Ethereum blockchain, and to keep costs low, individual tracking waypoints and load data can be stored and verified in an associated side-chain operating on the ShipChain Protocol, such as the one ShipChain Foundation.” Large partners will be able to operate their own ShipChain side-chains, with aid from ShipChain Foundation.

Public sale will be held in January 2018. 29.17 million SHIP tokens will be sold.It is planned to raise approximately $10 million in ETH. $0.342 per token is the ICO price.

White Paper (EN/CN/RU/ES/KR/JP): https://shipchain.io/shipchain-whitepaper.pdf

Silicon Valley truck-sharing startup, DOFT (Do Freight Transportation), is working on the mining protocol pursuing the goal of obtaining the critical mass of movement needed for the collaborative transportation web to become operational, as well as to create and fairly distribute Doftcoin tokens among the trucking community.

There are two basic ways to increase number of active truck drivers in the system: A) Collect geo-location big data which is shared by drivers who run the Doft app while driving a truck.  B) Growing the drivers’ community so that more people send their location data. Both actions are being rewarded with Doftcoins through the Doft Driver application. In this way, early adopters of Doft network are gaining value and thus being incentivized to take part in the establishment of the network before its technological benefit takes effect and the transport service is available.

Once the critical mass of movement is reached in a certain geographical region the truck-sharing and other smart transportation services will become instantly enabled in the region. The rate of distribution of Doftcoin via movement-based mining is designed to encourage the growth of local Doft communities. Thus, it is proportional not only to the distance you are driving, but also to the growth of the community in your area motivating users to promote the Doft network in their own region.

Doft is also running an ICO campaign offering its tokens with a 75% bonus during New Year holidays. Bonus will be available starting from December 27, 4:00PM UTC.  Anyone can become an owner of Doftcoins (DFC) and enjoy the benefits of being a part of the transportation community.

The Doftcoin token will be used to access all the services and products provided by the platform. Today Doft accepts only USD when a customer pays for the services. In the nearest future Doftcoins will become a number one payment method within the network.

About – Doft

Doft – a Silicon Valley based startup – developed a mobile app for the trucking industry that provides freight matching services. The on-demand instant freight and truck matching application has been labelled the “Uber of trucking.” Doft aims to improve the lives of truckers and provide ever-increasing value to shippers and carriers through its peer-to-peer service. Doft is changing the way American truckers and shippers work together, they are now taking it further with a Doft ICO crowdfunding campaign which will be live until January 1, 2018 0:00 AM UTC. Doft naturally adapted this concept to funding, allowing Doft’s users to be part of the project by contributing and receiving Doftcoins (DFC), which can later be used within Doft to pay for services and goods in Doft App for shippers and truckers, Load Board and Doft Store where Doft, being an authorized Garmin reseller, sells trucking related goods.

The market of financial derivatives, including binary options, has always been an attractive one for many people willing to earn money. However, due to the shady schemes and scams, the binary options have lost their reputation and have even been banned in some countries. Now, as the blockchain technology is gaining momentum, many fields are experiencing a rebirth. And this is exactly how Betex is bringing a revolution to how the binary options work. 

Betex Binary Options Platform: How It Works?

Betex is a blockchain peer-to-peer platform for transparent financial derivatives trading. Contrary to the shady traditional models, Betex uses the blockchain technology to keep all the information public and maintain the equal conditions for all the players. Within Betex, users bet against each other, which is recorded in the blockchain, where everyone can have access to. The rates are taken from several liquidity providers/exchanges. Thereby, the platform is not able to manipulate results. 

Thanks to the smart contracts, users do not need to make deposits or wait for the payouts. The bets are made directly to the smart contract, and the payouts are instant to the users’ ETH wallets. 

Finally, users will be forming one shared liquidity pool for each asset, instead of creating multiple ones. 95% of funds are distributed among traders who make correct assumptions, while Betex charges only 5% commission. 

To vividly show the advantages of the common liquidity pool, Betex has already launched 2 MVPs in the test net: https://Betex.io and https://GoBet.io.

How Betex Can Be Profitable? 

Being transparent and provably fair, Betex is creating a win-win solution for traders and brokers. Traders can constantly earn by correctly indicating the short- or medium-term trend in the price change of the asset. The size of the trader’s reward is limited only by the volume of the general pool of rates and the ratio of the number of bets to each of the outcomes. 

Brokers receive a 2% commission of the total amount of their users’ bets. The larger the turnover, the more earnings a broker gets. Thereby, the white label mechanism provided by Betex allows to quickly set up the platform under their own name, as well as get technical support. 

The last but not least, investors in Betex can also profit from the exchange through participation in its ICO.  

Betex Token Sale Details
