- Not mineable, ERC-20
- a smart contracts-based, peer-to-peer wallet interface (in beta) that currently interacts with Bitcoin blockchain (to be ported to Ethereum). It allows non-technical individuals & entities to quickly create, enter and manage smart contracts directly with others without an authoritative 3rd party. It was the first of its kind written on a public or private blockchain.
- The dominant messaging previously was about a research portal, but now it seems to be shifting to physical asset tokenization.
- If you want to read an in-depth report documenting the many deceptions surrounding the token, see Lighthouse Crypto’s comprehensive 38-page takedown
- Development has been absent (1-2019)
- The subreddit has gone private. Even the bitcointalk forum is moribund.
