It has being said that Diamond Platform token is the object of ICO. DPT is a utility token and is not backed up by an asset, neither is considered a derivative, and is not meant to be exchanged to a dierent token later. The sole purpose of the token is to confer digital access rights to the Diamond Network Platform and its services on a blockchain-based infrastructure. DPT gives access to - the digital diamond data base, origin verification service, CDC diamond coin and Marketplace.

Platform business model description
The token has no investment function and does not give the right to profit (no dividends are paid), also does not promise to return the capital with or without a guaranteed return.
The token will have a governance function – the token holders can participate in decision making process related to the project development via voting.
The token will be used as a Fee currency to cover the Fees for the Services. DPT is accepted as a payment tool only by the Diamond Network, but not by the third parties, it is not meant to be a payment tool, although the owners of the token can change. More information about the Fees can be found by each service description.

Dpt Tokens Description

10 000 000 DPT tokens will be generated, the amount is meant to be fixed, but the function of issuing new tokens and burn existing ones will be integrated. The token will follow the ERC20 standard for interoperability and the ERC621 standard for token supply regulation, the token will have a precision of 18 decimals�.

Platform business model description�

Diamond Network is a platform (ecosystem) with four services which will be running on the
Ethereum blockchain. Two tokens will be issued�:

• A utility token called DPT (Diamond Platform token - which grants access to the Diamond Network services.
• A security token CDC (Certified Diamond Coin), which is a
  standardized asset backed token. �

DPT project is in an early development stage and the total development phase will take up to 2 years, each service is described according to the existing understanding and vision, it will be improved and described in detail through time.�

The project is market driven and demand based. We truly believe that a long term success for a blockchain project can be achieved only via strong networking with existing diamond market players and cooperation with other blockchain projects.

Our goal is to create a totally transparent diamond market that would be traceable, reliable
and responsible.� Digital Diamond Database and Gemstone Origin Verification service is being developed together with the SCS Global Services (Further SCS) research centre based in USA. The
cooperation underlies a Non-disclosure agreement.
Origin Verification Technology links any diamond back to any mine, once baseline is established. �To set up a baseline at least 30 tests from a mining are needed, if more than 100 diamonds are tested from one mining the test result is 99.96%
correct.�

The Digital diamond Database, will stores the information
about each diamond which goes through any other service
provided by the Diamond Network.
It will store the data about:

• each diamond tested (its’ test results and base line, historical data - if available, certificate data)�,
• each CDC diamond�,
• and each diamond listed in the Marketplace�.

Gemstone origin verification service description:�

The Origin Verification service is closely connected to the Database development and also offered as a service for the DPT token holders. �

Diamond Network will collect the diamond samples from all
over the world to set the base line for every mine in the world,
creating a digital DNA library in the Database, which will allow
to trace back to mine every diamond in the world.

�Verification service characteristics�

• At least one physical laboratory will be established;�
• Gems tested can be listed in the Marketplace;�
• Can be developed in a legal certification center, e.g. – DNF
  should apply for a license;
  Digital (and physical) gemstone passport/certificate is issued after testing and added to the Database;�
• Analysis time in <1 minute.�

Income Model/Fees

• The Fee pricing model is developed in cooperation with
  SCS�
• Fees are collected in DPTs’�

Certified Diamond Coin Description

It is a hybrid token: security token + payment token; fulfils
the role of reserve currency and stable coin.

CDC market value for the token holders will always be represented by a diamond:
Weight (Cts) 0.04;
Size 2.1;
Originality Natural;
Clarity Range VS;
Colour range G�.

Token usability�

Use the CDC as a reserve currency, to keep their funds in a safe, non-volatile crypto currency – a small
yearly fee will be applied to cover the storing of the asset; Use the CDC as a payment token, a small
transaction fee will be applied�.

Asset security and Protocol of Proof of existence�

• Fees are charged in DPT tokens.�
• Transfer fee 0.12%�
• Redeem Fee 0.5% �

Roadmap�

The founder of the project Igors Nikitins had the first idea about a diamond related stable coin back in year 2015. Till year 2017 the researched the crypto currency market and at the end of the year he started to search for a local diamond market professional who would be interested in a cooperation.

In October 2017 the first steps where made towards the realisation of the project; In the 4th quarter of 2017 the first internal White Paper was written for the CDC stable coin. To create the CDC a lot of administrative and development activities were carried out, like:
a trial smart contract was written and tested; Diamond safe case packaging equipment was ordered, domain was registered, corporate style design was developed, and others.

But in the 1st quarter of 2018, the project scale was redefined as the Diamond Network Platform where CDC is only one of the products/services available. Due to this CDC is one of the best developed products of the Diamond Network Platform now.

Recently, we have been developing and programming a platform for all crypto enthusiasts worldwide to enable them to enter the crypto world with cash. Easy access to the Konios platform requires only a smartphone and an Internet connection. The transaction is carried out based on an exchange principle developed in Switzerland, without the use of a bank or other intermediaries.
The Smart Contracts monitors and checks the transactions and all processes within the platform.
Active users of the platform will benefit from our reward system. This also increases the security of the platform and supports the worldwide acceptance of the exchange procedure.
After each transaction, evaluations are given by the exchange partners. The evaluations give an insight into the professional behavior of the exchange partner. The reward and penalty parameters stored in the Smart-Contract sort incorrect behavior and reward the users for their positive contribution.

Overview ICO
Initial Coin offering

Distribution of Tokens

Taken together, it can be clearly shown that the KON token distribution plan, with a community share of 89% (public sale 75%, presale 2%, airdrop 5%, reward system 7%), focuses on a decentralized distribution of the KON token.

Distribution plan of funds collected from the ICO

The focus is on a development-oriented distribution of the available funds and a large-scale marketing campaign. This enables a rapid launch of the Konios platform.

• TRANSITION PERIOD

The Konios platform is supposed to serve all people who want to enter the crypto community with cash. The aim is to eliminate the astronomical exchange office fees experienced in a simple transaction. Konios provides a solid and secure basis for conducting transactions on the platform using the uniform exchange principle. This allows all non-crypto professionals worldwide to exchange their cash with other users.

• TRADE AND EVERYDAY USE

It is usually a good feeling or belief in the project that motivates buyers to hold or trade in cryptocurrencies. Since successful trading implies a great need for information, Konios will offer information that exactly meets this need. It is clearly and easily accessible to all users.

• INFORMATION AND DATA

A worldwide anonymous data analysis of unchangeable values should be available to all
Konios users free of charge (Konios Data).
Roadmap�

The users are the heart of the platform. The value of an idea is determined by the interest of its users. The reward system integrated in the platform rewards users for their activities.
In addition to the possibility for natural persons, Konios also offers verified companies the opportunity to participate in the Konios platform. The companies, i. e. the bodies authorized to sign, must be fully verified.

Loyalty bonus
On a voluntary basis, the Konios platform provides for the distribution of KON to loyal KON token holders who keep their KON-Tokens on the Konios platform. The tokens must be held in the same category for the entire month to participate in the reward.
The formula for determining the loyalty bonus:

The total turnover of the platform this month is 500’000 USD. The payout to the token holders
is therefore 10% of the total revenue of USD 50’000 and the reward for the platinum level this
month is USD 25’000. In the platinum stage, the total holdings amount to 250’000’000 KON, of which you personally own 15’000’000 KON shares.

Konios Token
The Konios Token serves as an access point for using the platform. In order to gain access
to an exchange, such as for F2F transactions, the corresponding number of KON-Tokens
must be added to the Konios platform. Without this, no service on the Konios platform can be used.

Konios Blockchain
The Konios Blockchain serves Konios in the area of transaction validation, transaction data storage and Smart-Contract handling. In order to connect the multitude of tokens and coins on one platform and to transfer them quickly, securely and decentralized, the step to our own blockchain is indispensable.

Konios
Konios has its headquarter and administration in the canton of Zug, Switzerland. The role of managing director and contact person is exercised by the co-founder Patrik Krasnic. In close cooperation with the lawyers of BÜHLMANN KOENIG & PARTNER AG, all regulatory obligations are fulfilled. The supporting bank also has its registered office in Switzerland and is subject to Swiss banking law.
The ICO of the Konios platform is intended to catapult implementation into the next sphere. The Konios team offers all potential users, interested parties or participants the opportunity to obtain the Konios Token KON at the ICO.

Socialchains: Trusted and Verified User-driven Social Media Ecosystem.

Setting up fake accounts remains easy, with the primary social media players unable to do much to stymie this problem. Facebook has admitted to having at least 270 million fake or duplicate accounts, while Twitter copped up to have as many as 48 million accounts without actual people behind them. To compound matters, a significant amount of fraud in the consumption of advertising expenses with click fraud at over 20%, and advertising
display fraud at over 30%. Despite all this fraud and fakeness, the major social media players continue to reap significant revenue and profits. These negative trends have created significant distrust among
consumers of social media. They distrust the news posted on social
media, and various forms of interactions (e.g., dating services) and transactions.

Socialchains a decentralized and user-driven social media ecosystem of verified and trusted users that puts an end to the massive fakeness existed in the current social media platforms. The platform respects and awards users for their time by offering tokens, points and profit share based on the level of user activity. The tokens and points are
exchangeable with crypto or fiat currencies.

Critical market problems are fakeness and spread of social wealth as socialchains sees it.

Socialchains aims to :

• Reduce Fakeness: All the users of the Social Chains platform are
  required to verify themselves to gain access to the platform. This
  verification process will gather name, phone number, email
  address, state-issued Photo ID and a selfie for facial recognition.
• Social distribution of wealth related to user data: Socialchains.io is a decentralized platform of verified users with the aim of distributing the social wealth and adding value to time spent on the social platform.
• Increase Marketing Effectiveness for SMBs (Small to Medium
  Businesses): Online marketing for SMBs is an expensive and iffy
  proposition. Online platforms such as Google AdWords and
  Facebook charge exorbitant amounts, with results that produce the unknown quality of results – presented as click-through, or impressions – but not easily relatable to actual financial performance.

Socialchains uses blockchain

Socialchains is using blockchain to put users in charge of their data and do away with centralized intermediaries that profit from user data. Social Chains as a blockchain app empowers users to derive, drive and monetize their data. Social Chains is a first attempt ever made to provide an opportunity to the mainstream to make internet money. Blockchain offered Socialchains the tools to build such a user-driven decentralized social media app.

The Social Chains platform is operational. The company has self-funded the development of the platform and continued to do so. Additional funding will accelerate the Product development rapidly.

Socialchains.io already has several powerful features built into the
platform that will be available to users from launch.

1. Decentralized contact database management: Social
   Chains will try to utilize decentralized user resources to ensure that the contact database is kept up to date.
2. Contact Relationship Application (CRA) built into the system: CRA helps the users to use SOCIAL CHAINS as a platform to
   communicate with their contacts for both personal and business
   uses.
3. Powerful Social Media features: Socialchains.io provides integration with Twitter feeds, allowing users to import and display their Twitter feeds within their accounts, and even filter them by keywords.
4. Full suite Customer Relationship Management (CRM): The
   Social Chains platform has a robust CRM system built into it.

Road map of Socialchains: The Socialchains.io product platform is ready and onboarding the users. We focus on completing the permission-based Ad Platform and P2P E-Commerce Commerce. We strive to become the App store for personal services Apps that serves the verified and the trusted users. We will not be building the Dating and Matrimonial Apps. We partner with the established platforms to serve the verified and trusted users. We share the revenue with the App platforms connected to the SOCIAL CHAINS.

Revenue Streams of SOCT is as follows :

• Advertising: With better and
  more reliable customer data, advertisers will be more inclined to use Social Chains.
• Targeted marketing for SMBs: With an inbuilt CRM system, SMBs will pay-to-play to reach out to their target customers within the user base.
• P2P E-commerce: 2 Billion adults in the world have no bank accounts. 75% of the adults own a mobile phone there has been a massive growth spurt in electronic forms of payment. SOCT tokens are tradable tokens. We expect that more than 500
  million people will have Ethereum wallets at the end of the distribution of 544 million SOCT tokens which brings the
  cryptocurrency into the mainstream and opens up all sorts of P2P E-commerce opportunities between verified users.
• Dating and Matrimonial Services: With verified users,
  and with the decentralized management of the customer base, not only will users be more careful about how they portray themselves online, but also more inclined to use these services.

In many 2nd and 3rd world countries, Matrimonial services are big business. the area is wrought with a significant amount of fraud. Social Chains partners with reputable and established country-specific dating and matrimonial platforms to provide services to the verified and trusted users.

Market Plan :

1. Target Market: Social Chains will be headquartered in the
   US, and will undoubtedly target the local market, our priority markets include India, US, UK, Canada, Australia and New Zealand. Customers in these area have shown willingness in uploading their state ID when signing up for the service.
2. Building the User Base: A network of Moderators help us in creating the user base. Each Moderator will be responsible for signing up at least 500 verified users. Socialchains anticipate a rapid growth of the user base, since there is a pay for joining.

Token Distribution

First 1 million users get 10 tokens 10,000,000
Next 10 million users get five tokens 50,000,000
Next 100million users get 2.5 tokens 250,000,000
Next 100 million users get 1.25 tokens 125,000,000
Next 100 million users get 0.625 tokens 62,500,000
Next 100 million users get 0.3125 tokens 31,250,000
Next 100million users get 0.1525 tokens 15,250,000

Total Distributed Token 544,000,000

Organization
We recognize that a successful Token offering will require a rapid ramp-up of personnel – not just in the US, but in India, UK, Canada, Australia
and New Zealand as well. With our management team headquartered in the US and part of our development team in India, we expect that hiring
needs to speed up across both regions.

The US is the base of the Social Chains management team. We expect to hire a management team in India as well – which will include a Country Head, an HR Head, Marketing Head, and Finance Head. We have already identified an HR Head, who held a similar role with leading global companies such as 3M and PricewaterhouseCoopers.
Social Chains currently has 18 developers and quality assurance
personnel in place and located in San Francisco, CA, Houston, TX, and Hyderabad, India.

A system completely decentralized like the internet itself. It is not
money for the internet but the internet of money. Welcome to the Internet of Value! Blockchain.io aims to be the cryptocurrency exchange of trust for individual and institutional traders and investors. It aims to combine a state-of-the-art low-latency cryptocurrency exchange with advanced decentralized settlement using the latest “trustless” cross-chain trading protocols to settle trades without the need for a trusted third-party or counterparty.

Consumers are overwhelmed by countless loyalty programs with their constantly changing redemption values and exclusions. Merchants face challenges in managing their own reward programs as they struggle with growing liabilities, increasing operational costs and system inefficiencies. Despite all of the challenges, the loyalty and rewards industry continues to grow at a rate of 30% annually because 85% of global consumers belong to at least one consumer loyalty program.

At Rewards.com, we believe we can make imagination a reality by creating an innovative solution through the use of blockchain technology to introduce cryptocurrency to the mass consumer market. We intend to provide an easy introduction and learning path to educate consumers about the benefits of owning and using cryptocurrency.
Rewards.com is introducing a global marketplace that brings together over 100,000,000 products and 7,000 merchants, including restaurants, travel, entertainment, and retail. This marketplace will allow customers to earn and redeem, what we call RWRD tokens, at any participating merchant. We believe this
solution will transform loyalty by taking cryptocurrency mainstream, building a healthy and strong token economy, and restoring true value to the consumer reward.

Loyalty Reward programs have a mass reach globally and proliferate across airlines, travel, retail, card services, financial services, healthcare and other economic sectors. Research tells us that consumers are looking for a rewards program that adds value to their experience. Unfortunately, they are all too often left feeling disappointed and frustrated as they juggle multiple programs that provide little value and complicated ways to earn and redeem points.Consumers aren’t the only ones frustrated with the current loyalty process. Business also share that same love/hate relationship with rewards programs. This creates a conflict in driving true customer loyalty.
Customers may feel rewarded when they earn a point, but they certainly don’t when they try to redeem them.
Challenges faced by businesses seeking to implement reward programs include:

• Declining consumer engagement as demonstrated by unredeemed points.
• Increasing financial liability of unredeemed points.
• Growing consumer privacy challenges.
• Rising management and administrative costs.

Rewards.com, powered by both blockchain and cryptocurrency, is positioned to solve the challenges of the current
business model of reward programs everywhere. Reinventing the rewards market and placing the power in the hands of consumers should create value, global reach and a better user experience. We intend to accomplish this by bringing a worldwide universal loyalty reward token to market for consumers and businesses.Rewards is single marketplace that brings together over 100,000,000 products and 7000 existing merchant relationships with restaurants, retail, entertainment, and travel that allows customers to earn and use RWRD token. Our planned platform will allow users to shop online or in-store to receive RWRD
tokens. Our plan is to allow the rewards token can be converted to cash for presentation and processing upon redemption, consumers redeeming tokens are not limited by point restrictions, blackout periods and peak payment times.

At the core of Rewards.com strategy is the creation of an open and global marketplace. It is expected that the Marketplace will be made up of thousands of merchants, discounts, coupons, contests, products and millions of shoppers. Just like any other loyalty program, when a consumer shops they earn, in our case RWRD tokens. Our plan is that the tokens can then be redeemed for virtually anything. Not only that, but Rewards members also receive exclusive offers and access to tickets and products before they go on sale to the public as well as the ability to participate in fun contests and sweepstakes. Because we intend to place the rewards directly into the hands of the consumer, this should bring more value to customers and business, which should allow them to be spent easily across a range of merchants and services anywhere in the world and ultimately making loyalty a truly fun, easy and valuable experience.The Rewards.com platform should allow consumers to earn RWRD tokens as a reward for activity, thereby driving traffic to our merchant partners for consumer everyday purchases. It is expected that earned RWRD tokens can be used commercially or traded on the exchange. Customers are to experience the following as customers experience to be able to redeem their reward anywhere:

• MOBILE PAYMENT
• CUSTOMER EARNED & REDEEMED REWARDS
• BONUS AND PROMOTIONS
• CUSTOMER VOTING POOL
• EARLY ADOPTERS

Rewards.com is a leader and pioneer in consumer loyalty and rewards marketing. Rewards.com’s team has a proven track record of consumer engagement with years of experience in the design, development and management of complex loyalty and rewards programs. By listening to the needs of customers and learning from the experience of managing some of the world’s largest consumer loyalty programs, they have gained expertise and trust in this booming industry.

To participate in the Token sale, it is expected that prospective purchasers will need to visit rewardstoken.io where they will be required to register. Once successfully registered, we plan to allow buyers to be able to purchase RWRD tokens using BTC, DASH, ETH or LTC. Token buyers will be purchasing RWRD tokens to be used within the
Rewards platform as mentioned above.
The planned soft cap for the ICO is set at 3,000 ETH with a hard cap of 75,000 ETH. When this cap is reached the distribution will end. Any remaining RWRD tokens left unsold at the completion of the ICO will be burnt. At the completion of each distribution, contributors will be granted rewards tokens at the exchange rate as determined by the value of the contributions. The current exchange rate is 1 ETH is equal to 1,430 RWRD Tokens.

The minimum purchase amount will be .2 ETH. There will be 200,000,000 of the 400,000,000 tokens in the fund raising pool available to purchase during the private, pre-sale and main sale distributions combined. Instead of offering all of our fundraising tokens during a traditional crowd sale before our market place launches, we plan to mix things up by celebrating every time we launch our global market place in a new country.

We will do this by offering a discount in concert with the launch of the first 10 countries.Purchasers who commit to purchase a large amount of RWRD tokens during the sale period,
will be eligible for an extra bonus. All such bonuses will be discussed individually with each potential buyer.Rewards leverages what we believe to be best in breed technology and solutions to build a fast, reliable and scalable ecosystem. Our solution is made up of 3 main components; the core platform, blockchain and an authentication scheme.

Rewards is starting out as an ERC20 token, based on Ethereum. The Ethereum blockchain will start out managing the reward currency and allow for a more dynamic system as we work with our industry partners to develop the rewards protocol and standalone blockchain.

Business entities are also burdened by the mandatory procedures of verifying each customer they have. These processes definitely take time and resources. It is also a requirement that the enterprises running the business retain the original image of the customers’ identities. This problem leads to backlog; customers need to wait a longer time and businesses suffer opportunity loss. Despite the hardships faced by the customers, there are always risks that these users can still fake the pictures, since they are taken offline.

A staggering 70% of fraud is committed through chargeback practices and has cost enterprises nearly US$11.2billion in lost revenue. Credit card usages without identity verification and integrity check will always be a risk to enterprises when users use the payment method. An average bank spends 405 Million USD on KYC process annually. About 30% of 722 corporate respondents in the survey claim it can take more than two months, while 10% believe on- boarding time exceeds 4 months.

VEIRIS technology is tailored specifically for enterprises and financial institutions to remove frictions in KYC process through real- time data extraction, computer vision algorithm, and blockchain technology to prevent fake / tampered documents.Fraudsters will not be able to determine which merchants run VEIRIS technology in the background. Once the identification parameters are sent through VEIRIS system, VEIRIS technology will be able to determine the malicious behaviour.

Blockchain technology allows merchants to receive incentives every time they provide identity attestation through VEIRIS system. Merchants could then save costs of training their staffs to spot fake documents. VEIRIS system provides all necessary requirements within minutes and in the same time removes any human error within manual processes. Blockchain technology embedded in VEIRIS enables seamless partnership between enterprises and merchants.
VEIRIS is the first blockchain-based technology to solve the problem of identity attestation equipped with a state-of-the-art computer vision technology. No system in the world is currently providing a better solution compared to VEIRIS, as the other systems only rely on the text processing. VEIRIS system is tailored to fit enterprises need of attesting customers identity. This brings VEIRIS to a merchant-driven rather than user-driven approach. The merchants’ identities which provide the attestations will never be revealed, thus they cannot be the next target for any attackers.VEIRIS helps enterprises to reduce fraud by performing real-time remote verification on the credit cards backed with optional enterprise ecosystem, ensuring the integrity and ownership of credit cards by simply tapping scan button. VEIRIS eliminates the need of laborious keystrokes at checkout. Verifying all credit card usages without VEIRIS technology will be impossible, but VEIRIS makes everything simple. Transaction completion will increase by more than 10% where the customer payment will be made simple. In the future, VEIRIS will also provide identity fraud protection to the end-user by notifying the user whenever an attempt of using their data occurs in the VEIRIS enterprise ecosystem.

VeE (VEIRIS Enterprise Ecosystem) is the fuel of VEIRIS system. All services in VEIRIS system can be paid by using VeE. VeE is the only payment token available in VEIRIS ecosystem. Aside from being a payment token, VeE is also the incentive for users / contributors / enterprises providing attestations or queries about an identity. These contributors will also receive VeE tokens by helping VEIRIS collecting identity documents and biometric information for research purposes.

The research requires at least 3,000 sample documents to populate which will be used in the machine learning part within VEIRIS system. The demand for verifying KYC will always increase in the future. Multiple banks and multiple enterprises will require millions of scans and attestations queries to VEIRIS system. This will make the VeE token valuable, since these queries require VeE tokens as the payment.
The key points of VEIRIS system are the following:

• Real-time image processing and facial analysis.
• No real ID is shared. Only the templates of IDs are shared.
• No data leaving enterprise environment.
• Only attestation score, timestamp, and enterprise level are shared anonymously.

VEIRIS Initial Token Sales (ITS) is a way for VEIRIS project to gain public funding by selling VeE tokens to early adopters and related stakeholders will be benefitted by the project upon completion. The ITS is a way to speed up VEIRIS project development.
The VeE token distribution is as follows:

• 51% of the total tokens created will be sold through the crowdsale.
• 30% of the tokens will be hold as VEIRIS ecosystem incentives,
• 19% will be retained for VEIRIS company.
VEIRIS provides on-boarding process in less than 3 minutes and secure the platforms by preventing money laundry and hacking attempts with a proper KYC. No more hours of waiting time for customers. Either a merchant needs to verify a customer for the first time or during onboarding on latter stage, the merchant can simply use VEIRIS technology.
VEIRIS technology is the pioneer when it comes to the idea of combining computer vision algorithm and blockchain technology. The problems related to identity frauds, KYC process, and identity verification bottlenecks will be solved by VEIRIS. All identity verification process will be faster, easier, and attested among
multiple participants in VEIRIS ecosystem with the help of blockchain technology.

Each fund on the Brickblock platform has its own denomination and its own "proof-of-asset" (PoA) token which, via established token exchange platforms, can be traded simpler, faster and cheaper than on conventional stock markets All dividends and coupons are automatically transferred to token-holders through self-executing smart contracts on the Ethereum network.

Brickblock’s infrastructure will be implemented as a decentralized application (Dapp) and run on the

Ethereum network. Broker-dealers and fund managers will be able to list their investment opportunities on the platform, after being thoroughly verified by Brickblock through e.g. proof of residence, credit reports and criminal record.

There are three types of tokens, all of which implementing the ERC20 token standard Brickblock tokens will only be released during the contribution period in exchange for ETH and Bitcoin. If the Brickblock tokens are stored in a special smart contract, the Brickblock token holder will receive a certain amount of access tokens per week until the Brickblock tokens are withdrawn from the smart contract.

Brickblock will help issuers enter the crypto-economy by integrating existing asset management legacy infrastructure and messaging standards for both issuance and distribution.

Brickblock is an inclusive investment platform that empowers people from all income classes to diversify

their crypto-portfolio with real-world assets like ETFs and REFs. We will provide legal frameworks to directly link these assets to our PoA tokens.
