How it works

• The CEO mentions in an AMA that they are not using a blockchain, but do it centralized ‘for now’. (5-2020):

"For these services to be successful, it is important that the services run without problems on blockchain technology. However, in the past two years, it was difficult to find the cases which implemented large-scale services on the blockchain. This is why we decided to build our product to run on our servers in the centralized manner first and wait until the base protocol projects prove their commercial viability. Once the commercialization of base protocols are proven, we will migrate the service to the base protocol of our choosing."
