Crowdfunding has played an enormous and important role in the growth of the cryptocurrency market. Since the first-ever token sale by Mastercoin in 2013 and Ethereum's $18.3 million ICO in 2014, crowdfunding has paved the way for new protocols and technologies. Without crowdfunding, likely, the blockchain space would not be at the level that is at today. Developers wouldn't be able to develop the blockchain technologies that we now take for granted. This is due to blockchain being an emerging technology. Institutional investors were skeptical and kept their distance in the early stages. Instead, regular everyday people stepped up and filled the positions that were once reserved only for Venture Capitalists and Angel Investors. However, whilst crowdfunding has helped to develop innovative projects in the blockchain space, fraudsters have also stolen funds from unsuspecting investors. This is why an escrow-like system is needed to prevent bad actors from defrauding investors in future token sales. SeedOn Brings Smart Contract Technology to Equity Crowdfunding is a blockchain-based equity crowdfunding platform that uses a smart contract escrow model to ensure that crowdfunding campaigns are completely transparent. SeedOn As part of their escrow system, the platform launched its SEON token on three crypto exchanges. The SEON token is available on Digifinex, BitMart, and . PancakeSwap The SEON token works as a traceable and trackable medium of transfer for funds raised via token sales. SeedOn’s token sale comes after its successful public token sale where over 120 million SEON tokens ($1.2m) were sold in less than five hours in December 2021. Crowdfunding Scams are a Common Occurrence LLC and its CEO Larry Brodman raised more than $9 million in unregistered securities between 2016 and 2020. Property Income Investors Most of these funds were raised from crowdfunding platforms and over $2 million went into private bank accounts. Fraudulent fundraising campaigns like this have become too common on crowdfunding platforms. This negatively impacts the reputation of the entire crowdfunding industry. The inability of crowdfunding platforms to effectively screen problematic campaigns hurts investors as well as legitimate project owners who depend on crowdfunding campaigns. SeedOn tackles the issue of transparency in crowdfunding by using smart contract technology. These smart contracts will only release raised funds in stages, based on the development milestones reached by a project. This prevents malicious project owners from "rug-pulling" or running off with investors' funds without developing the project that was crowdfunded. Smart contracts also provide much-needed transparency as investors can see exactly where their money is going and how it's being used. This smart contract deployment is based on the escrow model, where a third party receives and disburses funds, based on conditions agreed upon by the transacting parties. How Escrow Works - An Off-Chain Example A non-blockchain example of escrow is Alibaba's escrow payment method. Retailers use the escrow system to purchase goods from a manufacturer, but instead of paying the manufacturer directly, the funds are held by the escrow service. The manufacturer then prepares and ships the product to the retailer. If the goods are delivered and they meet the standards set by the escrow agreement, the funds are released to the manufacturer. If the retailer does not receive the goods, receives the wrong products or the products don't meet the quality standards set in the agreement, the funds are returned to the retailer. SeedOn's smart contracts bring this escrow system into the blockchain for crowdfunding platforms. Their system also includes a traceable native token that is used to protect investors from fraudulent activity and return the funds to investors if necessary. SeedOn also uses artificial intelligence (AI) to audit projects before they're listed on crowdfunding platforms. Human due diligence is also used as an additional screening measure to establish the value of a project. All of these systems work to add an additional layer of security to fundraising platforms. This protects the average investors from malicious actors in the crypto space. SeedOn Is Building A Crowdfunding Platform Powered By Smart Contracts SeedOn is developing a next-generation platform for equity crowdfunding. Using their smart contract escrow system, this platform aims to provide increased transparency for investors. As mentioned earlier, a project's funds will be released in stages to prevent malicious founders from rug-pulling the crowdfunded equity. Projects on the platform can only access the raised funds based on completing specific milestones. The SEON token will be used on the platform to make all transactions traceable and transparent via the blockchain which functions as a public ledger. Everyone will be able to see where the funds are moved to, how they're spent, and who is spending the funds by viewing the addresses associated with the transactions. The SEON token was launched on February 15th via Pancakeswap, Digifinex, and BitMart.

There’s nothing like sitting down, curling up in your blanket, and playing a great game on your handheld console. No matter what console you prefer, they all have fantastic games to choose from, and they’re a ton of fun. With so many good handheld consoles, each with its positive and negative attributes, it’s hard to put one over the other, but we still did it anyway. Here are the best handheld consoles ranked by sales. Best Handheld Consoles Ranked 10. N-Gage 9. WonderSwan 8. PlayStation Vita 7. Sega Game Gear 6. Nintendo 3DS 5. PlayStation Portable 4. Game Boy Advance 3. Nintendo Switch 2. Game Boy/ Game Boy Color 1. Nintendo DS 10. N-Gage - 3 Million Units Sold Nokia is known for its indestructible phones, but they also tried their hand at a handheld console. What’s interesting about their console, the N-Gage, is that it’s also a cell phone. The N-Gage was truly ahead of its time, with mobile gaming being as big as it is now. Unfortunately, it had tough competitors to deal with, releasing the same year as the Game Boy Advance SP. The N-Gage would fail to compete with Nintendo, but still managed to make it on the list of best handheld game consoles; Nokia’s N-Gage sold .

WonderSwan/WonderSwan Color - 3.3 Million Units Sold A console that was exclusively sold in Japan, the WonderSwan was Bandai’s venture into the handheld console world. The first version of WonderSwan released in 1999, and the graphics were in black and white. The WonderSwan Color was released a year later and allowed players to see the full colors of their games. A third model of the WonderSwan, the SwanCrystal was released in 2002, and it would be the last WonderSwan console the world would ever see. Image Source: https://digimonbasic.altervista.org/?section=content&id= The WonderSwan was directly competing against Nintendo’s Game Boy Color, which had incredible games available. But the WonderSwan had games of its own, including Digimon Adventure and Fire Pro Wrestling for WonderSwan. WonderSwan’s game catalog most likely helped it sell more consoles, with a total of WonderSwan handheld consoles sold. 3.3 million 8. PlayStation Vita - 10 Million Units Sold Released 7 years after the debut of the PSP, the Vita was the next step into Sony’s voyage into handheld consoles. The Vita had features that the original PSP didn’t have, one of these being a touchscreen.

These games included Uncharted: Golden Abyss, LittleBigPlanet PS Vita, and Dead or Alive 5 Plus. Reports differ, but most reports put the PS Vita selling around .

The other interesting feature of this console is that it had a color screen, so the player could see all the colors the games had to offer. The Sega Game gear had several exclusives from popular franchises including Mega Man, an X-Men game, and Sonic games; it’s not wild to assume that exclusives like these helped the Game Gear sell more copies. of the console were sold, and the legacy of this console is still alive. Just last year, Sega sold the to celebrate the console’s 30th anniversary. 11 million units Game Gear Micro 6. Nintendo 3DS - 75 Million Units Sold During 2009 and 2010, it seemed like the public was obsessed with 3-D. Films such as Avatar, Jackass 3-D, and Monsters vs Aliens, were released in 3-D. Around the same time frame, Nintendo would release the 3DS, which as you can tell by its name, allowed players to game in 3D. Although the 3-D was hit and miss, the rest of the hardware was great, and the 3DS was a fun console to play on. Backed with a great catalog, the Nintendo 3DS sold Some of the games included Super Smash Bros, New Super Mario Bros 2, Pokemon X and Y, and Animal Crossing: New Leaf. 75 million units. The 3DS also had numerous iterations including the Nintendo 3DS XL, and the New Nintendo 3DS. 5. PlayStation Portable - 80 Million Units Sold Sony’s first handheld console, the PSP, was released in Japan in 2004, and to the rest of the world in 2005. The PSP was a great handheld device, but it could do other things than just play games. You could play music on it, watch movies, or go on the web. All it’s missing is the ability to text and make calls, and it’s essentially a phone. The PSP, with all its versatile abilities, managed to make a splash in the gaming industry, and it sold , making it one of the best handheld game consoles in terms of financial success. 80 million units The PSP had incredible games such as Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories, God of War: Chains of Olympus, and Tekken: Dark Resurrection. 4. Game Boy Advance - 81 Million Units Sold The Game Boy Advance was released early into the 21st century and was the next evolution of Nintendo handheld consoles. Like the previously released Game Boy Color, the Advance had color as well as a 32-bit microprocessor. Another model of the Game Boy Advance, the Game Boy Advance SP released 2 years later, and you could see the eventual climb towards the Nintendo DS. It wouldn’t be a Nintendo console without great games, and the Game Boy Advance featured several remakes and re-releases of classic Nintendo titles. Some of these included Super Mario Bros. 3, Super Mario World, and Donkey Kong Country. But it also had its original titles like Pokemon Ruby and Sapphire and Mario and Luigi: Superstar Saga. These games helped the Game Boy Advance sell . 81 million units 3. Nintendo Switch - 84 Million Units Sold This console needs no introduction considering it’s the most popular handheld console today. What sets apart the Nintendo Switch from previous handheld consoles is that you’re able to play it on your TV, or right in your hands in a seamless transition. Featuring joy-cons that allow for motion control and a touch screen, the Nintendo Switch has an endless amount of great features. Apart from the hardware, the Nintendo Switch’s game catalog also knocks it out of the park. Animal Crossing: New Horizons, Mario Kart 8, and Super Smash Bros. are the best-selling games for the console, with all of them selling over . 20 million copies Even though the Nintendo Switch’s lifespan is far from over, financially, it’s already one of the best handheld game consoles; selling . 84 million units 2. Game Boy/Game Boy Color - 118 Million Units Sold Decades before the Nintendo Switch, there was the Game Boy, Nintendo’s second-ever handheld console. It didn’t have a color screen, but it didn’t need one; the graphics were clean and charming. It also only had two buttons (if you don’t include the start and select buttons), and an 8 bit CPU. The Game Boy was succeeded by the Game Boy Color, almost 10 years after the former’s debut. We can’t mention the Game Boy without mentioning Pokemon, with the franchise’s first installment debuting on the console. Beyond Pokemon, other notable titles include Super Mario Land and The Legend of Zelda: Link’s Awakening. All of these titles and more helped the Game Boy and Game Boy Color sell a combined total of . 118 million units 1. Nintendo DS - 154 Million Units Sold In first place, zooming ahead of all other handheld consoles is the Nintendo DS. First released in North America in 2004, the Nintendo DS combined features from previous consoles and put them into one. It had the same flip-open design as the Game Boy Advance SP, except the DS was much wider and bigger. And it included two screens instead of one, with the bottom one being a touchscreen. The Nintendo DS sold , not only making it the best-selling handheld console but putting it in second place for the . 154 million units most sold console of all time The console was backed up by incredible games such as New Super Mario Bros, Mario Kart DS, Pokemon Diamond and Pearl, and The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass. The first two DS models were also backward compatible with the Game Boy Advance making the console’s library even bigger. In terms of sales, the Nintendo DS is the best handheld game console of all time. Although this list of best handheld game consoles is dominated by Nintendo, there are plenty of other great consoles such as the PSP and the Sega Game Gear to look at. With phones essentially becoming gaming consoles themselves, we wonder what the future holds for portable gaming.

10 Best Handheld Game Consoles Ranked by Sales

Remember the 90s? Pokémon, Beanie Babies, Crazy Bones, Super Nintendo, Pogs, and neon windbreakers... Those were the good old days. The web was a simpler place too, with barebones websites composed of mostly text and hyperlinks. I remember it like it was yesterday. Or, wait – 30 years ago? I recently found – a nifty retro-themed toolkit – and I thought it would be fun to play around with it to briefly relive those years. The toolkit includes a hit counter, webrings, and developer trading cards. Wicked Coolkit If you're feeling nostalgic too, let's explore some web development trends from the 90s by exploring Wicked Coolkit, just for kicks. Hit Counters Before software like Google Analytics, were a fun way to track your site's popularity while also flaunting your success (or lack thereof) to everyone who visited your site. Hit counters were usually clunky widgets that simply displayed a number that incremented after every page load. Now that website analytics software is readily available and affordable, hit counters have almost entirely disappeared from the modern web. But that doesn't mean we can't make one just for fun! hit counters The setup for hit counters requires you to deploy a Heroku app and create a Salesforce developer account, both of which have free tiers that I used. Once the app is up and running, it handles the backend server keeping track of your website's hits. After that, it's as simple as including on your site a code snippet that contains a tag and a custom web component for the hit counter. Wicked Coolkit script The code snippet looks like this, though the attribute will be different for your app: host < = = > script type "module" async src "https://unpkg.com/wicked-coolkit@^1.1.2/dist/hitCounter.js" </ > script < = > wck-hit-counter host "tyler-wicked-coolkit.herokuapp.com" </ > wck-hit-counter Here's my hit counter that I added to an HTML5 game I built called : Stacks on Stacks on Stacks Stacks on Stacks on Stacks HTML5 game, now with a hit counter Webring Now that we have a hit counter in place, let's make a webring! were another concept popular in the 90s that linked together a group of sites. These sites would form a chain or a ring of curated content and allowed users to explore cool new sites they probably never would have found on their own. Webrings were a neat way to stumble upon new pages back before the days of recommendation engines, social media, and customized news feeds. Webrings The Wicked Coolkit provides us with another handy code snippet to include on any website that wants to participate in the webring. It looks like this, again with a tag and a web component, with the attribute being unique to my app: script host < = = > script type "module" async src "https://unpkg.com/wicked-coolkit@^1.1.2/dist/webring.js" </ > script < = > wck-webring host "tyler-wicked-coolkit.herokuapp.com" </ > wck-webring The list of sites is managed in Salesforce for an added measure of security and to prevent any old site from being included in the webring. This allows you, the administrator, to fully control what sites you want to showcase in your webring. I created my own webring and recruited a few friends to participate. For some fun apps, you can ! find our webring here Bubble Ball HTML5 game, now part of the webring Developer Trading Card Finally, we would be remiss if we didn't talk about the 90s trading card phase. Who among us didn't have beloved Pokémon, Digimon, Yu-Gi-Oh!, Magic: The Gathering, or sports cards? Wouldn't you like to be on a trading card yourself? Well, now you can with Wicked Coolkit's developer trading cards. You can build your own and manage the content with the same Heroku and Salesforce app you used for the hit counter and webring. Here's what looks like: my developer trading card Personalized developer trading card Clicking on the various stickers takes you to another person's trading card, giving you a unique opportunity to connect with other developers with similar interests. Conclusion Well, that's it for now. The 90s were a long time ago, but it was fun to reminisce. History tends to repeat itself, so who knows? Maybe one day some of these retro trends will make a comeback.

The post went viral on the Reddit communities, and Dogecoin was born under the strong prevailing support of netizens. The initial supply circulating is around 119 billion, but unlike BTC, the number of Dogecoins can be increased and overissued, with an average amount of coins being released every minute. In addition, Dogecoin allows users to mine through the computing power of GPU graphics card. The earliest block reward is 1 million DOGE per block, and the reward is halved for every 100,000 blocks. From the 60th block, the block reward is constant at 10,000 DOGE and will not change. 3. DogeCoin and Elon Musk When people think of Dogecoin, they usually think of Elon Musk, the billionaire founder of Tesla and SpaceX and the former world's richest man. Elon's interest in Dogecoin can date back to April Fools' Day in 2019 when Dogecoin ran a Twitter poll to find out who is the most favoured CEO candidate would be. As a result, Musk won the polls, winning more than 50% of the votes. Interestingly, Musk himself responded to the tweet afterwards and changed his Twitter signature to "Former CEO of Dogecoin." Then what comes after is a whole lot of tweets about Dogecoin that appeared every few days, where Elon Musk even mocked to send a Dogecoin to the moon with his SpaceX facility. This has led to Dogecoin's current glory. It's worth noticing that Dogecoin launched its CEO vote because the founder Jackson Palmer sold out his entire Dogecoin holdings. So in a sense, Dogecoin is "the most decentralized token" as it goes up and down regardless of the founder. It’s said that Jackson is still trying to pay off the car loan with his wife :) 4. Is Dogecoin Valuable? What does its future hold? Is it worth buying? As the market value of Dogecoin pumped, and the number of participants skyrocketed, more and more brick-and-mortar companies began to support users to use Dogecoin for payment. Dogecoin itself has a mature reward function, and it has also contributed to the charitable field. After the mainstream cryptocurrencies such as BTC, ETH, LTC and EOS, Dogecoin has become another token that has formed a broad consensus and user base. Although it has problems including limitless amount, no innovation and lack of intrinsic value, etc., Elon Musk continues to preach about Dogecoin on Twitter. Who would have thought a few months ago that it would have grown 200 times? After all, even its founder himself abandoned Dogecoin. I have to say Jackson Palmer should be the saddest man in the world :) Finally, I would like to remind you that the .

What's Driving The DogeCoin Mania?

said one of my friends who has been trading cryptocurrency for many years. He is a user during the public sale and bought FIL at the price of $2. After the FIL is unlocked, he sells coins wildly every day. But even so, he still hates the slow process of unlocking, so he directly sold all the publicly purchased Fil at the price of dozens of dollars. “Fil mooned right away after I sold it. I am the weakest hand in the crypto world.” , sighed my friend recently watching Fil climb to the latest price. “What a fool I am!” On March 27, 2021, FIL price shot up. According to Fil price in DigiFinex, the price of a single FIL is as high as $135, with a one-day increase of more than 23% at the time when this article was written. This means that over the past month, FIL has climbed from $35 to $135, an increase of more than 279% in a single month, with 24H transaction volume reaching 10.9 billion RMB, surpassing BTC's 24-hour transaction volume. According to the latest data from CoinMarketCap, FIL's current circulating market value is about 92.9 billion RMB, ranking 9th in the list of top cryptos, and only 6 billion RMB short of UNI, which ranks the 8th. ( ) Click me to trade Fil FIL went from $35 to $135 in a mere month. I think most people have already sold their tokens for cash, or developed “acrophobia”? So will FIL continue to rise? Before answering this question, let's look at what exactly the technology is behind Fil and where its value comes from. 1. Will the rise continue? Before we get to Filecoin distributed storage and the IPFS protocol, we’d better have some basic knowledge about the internet technologies that we are using today. 2. What is Filecoin and IPFS protocol? The underlying technology of the Internet we currently use is composed of three elements: storage equipment (computer room), computing center and Internet protocol. Data is stored in storage centers, processed in computing centers, and then connected to storage devices and Personal computers around the world via HTTPS, a process that formed the Internet protocol that we use today. Based on this technology, smart developers created Google, Taobao, Facebook and other Internet applications, thus giving birth to our present abundant Internet world. The distributed storage solution of Filecoin is a huge innovation for traditional data center/cloud storage services, and the IPFS protocol is an improvement over the traditional HTTPS Internet protocol, so you can imagine how much the value of FIL tokens will increase once the Filecoin technology is ready to be deployed. Let’s dig deeper into how much these two technologies are valued. One of the problems with the traditional centralized Internet is that files are very vulnerable to be lost. We often open because our data has been lost in the server, and if the data storage center has not backed up the data, it will be lost forever. 3. The value of Filecoin decentralized storage 404 pages On top of that, another problem with centralized networks is data duplication. The traditional storage layer is composed of many sets of the server room, so each platform of the data in the server is independent. If you want to upload the same video to different websites, you will have to upload it many times, leading to wasted storage space on the Internet. All the above problems can be solved by the decentralized storage solution of Filecoin. Distributed storage is to have HASH encryption of a complete file, and crush it into multiple pieces of data to be stored in different servers. In that way, your file will be secured perfectly. Even if most of the file fragments are lost, as long as one of the pieces survives, your file can be recovered anyway. And because your files are stored in fragments on multiple servers, files can be shared between different platforms, which solves the problem of duplication of data in traditional centralized networks and saves storage space. In the traditional centralized Internet, if users want to upload and download a file, it’s necessary to connect to the corresponding server through HTTPS protocol. If the server is far away physically, for example, if you are in China and you want to download info from an American website, the uploading and downloading will be very slow. 4. The value of IPFS protocol Likewise, since your downloading and uploading technology depends entirely on the performance of the server you are using, even if you have a fiber-optic network with a gigabyte of bandwidth at home, it will be very slow to open a site with a very bad server. IPFS has a genius solution to these problems. Also based on decentralized technology, the IPFS network relies on Filecoin's distributed storage technology where your files are stored in fragments among multiple Internet servers, so your download and upload speed depends only on the distance to your nearest server. You can even download it immediately if your neighbour happens to have downloaded it. I think there is no need to explain how fast it can be. Similarly, since your files are on multiple servers, bandwidth can be significantly saved, and the bandwidth available on your home will be as high as it can be. This is like the original 2-lane road is widened to a 5- lane highway, which can be said to be a prerequisite for the application and development of blockchain technology. If you are still with me, I assume you have already developed your understanding of Filecoin and the IPFS protocol. FIL tokens are generated as rewards for Filecoin miners who complete mining tasks. This process is extremely complex and the Fil mining machines can cost hundreds of thousands of dollars. There is even a risk of additional fees if the founding team changes their mining rules, so the best way to participate in Filecoin investment is to buy top mining companies’ cloud computing products. Or just trade Fil in the secondary market for difference.

$Fil Mooned Right After I Sold It. Am I Weak Hands?

Not everyone has the technical-knowhow to navigate the highly volatile crypto terrain. There are a lot of moving pieces. It will surprise you to know that trading, staking, mining, and hodling are not the only sure way to earn crypto income. In 2020, we got introduced to yield farming and the variety of ways to utilize DeFi’s money markets. Notably, there is no means to know for sure which crypto trend would drive crypto in 2021. The key takeaway from this is that we are yet to scratch the surface of the possibilities embedded in crypto and blockchain technology, even 11 years after the famous introduction of Bitcoin. It is remarkable how every quality project or token created by well-meaning developers expands the functionalities of cryptocurrency in such a way that it is almost impossible to box the growth potential of the technology. Right now, we have over 6,000 cryptocurrencies with a combined market capitalization worth around $950 billion. And considering the innovative capacity of the crypto community, it is safe to say that this figure would surge in the next 12 months. However, I expect many of the viable projects launched in the closing months of 2020 to impact the proceedings of 2021 significantly. One such project is , a crypto infrastructure-based ecosystem looking to deliver functioning investments and infrastructures to investors. CFX Quantum CFX Quantum launched in the last quarter of 2020 with the sole aim of providing opportunities with the barest minimum risks. CFX Quantum is utilizing pre-quantum technology developed by Fujitsu Corp. to cope with the fast-paced crypto market. The platform’s native token, CFXQ, is already live on seven exchanges, including Digifinex, LaToken, P2pb2b, Whitebit, XT, Coinsbit, and the CFX Exchange. I reached out to the CEO to discuss what they have planned for 2021. Below is an excerpt from the interview I had with Marco Mottana, CEO of CFX Quantum. Edward Moon: What is your verdict on the crypto performance of 2020? Did it meet up with your expectations? (Laughs) it is rare to find a crypto proponent unimpressed with the way 2020 panned out. Remarkably, crypto weathered an unrelenting pandemic to become the best performing asset class in the world. Away from price performance, the level of institutional involvements and mainstream acceptance was unprecedented. The explosive adoption recorded last year is in line with the core goals of CFX Quantum, and we are happy that we played our part. Marco Mottana: Edward Moon: Does it bother you that the current crypto price frenzy distracts the attention of new investors away from the real functionalities of digital assets? Well, it is impossible to ignore the speculative side of the crypto market. Over the years, speculation emerged as the core selling point of the crypto market. People tend to fixate on the price more than they focus on the utility of a digital asset. Although this seems detrimental at first, the applications of cryptocurrencies always win at the end of the day. Although speculation drives a multitude into the crypto industry, it is functionality that keeps them. We witnessed this in 2018 at the height of the last bear cycle. Marco Mottana: Edward Moon: What are the varieties of strategies or crypto opportunities available to participants in 2021? And which is your favorite? Staking is still very much a trend. The same applies to trading, mining, and long-term crypto savings. In 2020, yield farming came to the limelight, and again informed investors accessed another avenue to generate high yields. However, as you would have noticed from the workings of CFX quantum, I am leaning more towards arbitrage trading combined with what we call cold staking. When you optimize these strategies with advanced computing techniques, it is possible to generate consistent revenue with little or no risk. Marco Mottana: Edward Moon: Don’t you think that investors naturally gravitate towards highly profitable investments? What made you and your team believe that the 1% monthly return of ZEROONE will attract a strong following? Not everyone is receptive to the complexities and risks of DeFi money markets. From what I have learned in my 32 years in the financial landscape, the most successful products are often those with a simple and consistent framework. Our product is easy to digest because it encapsulates recurring price anomalies peculiar to the crypto market. All we did was adopt a high-frequency trading machine to improve the efficiency of our arbitrage operations and eliminate the risk involved. Cryptocurrency and its associated opportunities have a higher chance of appealing to the masses only if we manage to contain the risks and simplify the process involved as we have done. Marco Mottana: Edward Moon: How do you rate the progress achieved in 2020? As anticipated, we have managed to attract the right audience. In just a matter of months, we have built a thriving community of investors and crypto proponents. This achievement has had a direct impact on the success of our offerings. CFX wallet-exchange is slowly emerging as a disruptive addition to the crypto gateway sector. Besides, we have achieved a balance between blockchain and quantum technology. Hence, we have successfully developed a multi-crypto exchange price discovery machine with zero risks. These milestones are indicative of our commitment to the safety and profitability of our community of users, and we plan on working our socks off in 2021 to deliver even more. Marco Mottana: Edward Moon: Tell us about the performance of CFXQ token so far? Before we launched the CFXQ token, it was clear that our ecosystem needed an economic anchor that holds all the moving parts together. We wanted our users to access CFX Quantum’s suite of services instantly anywhere in the world. The token can be used to pay fees on our wallet-exchange and to participate in special promotions. Also, we set a lock-up period for early investors to eliminate the risks of experiencing a price dump. As a result of these utilities and safety precautions, CFXQ has had a commendable run in the crypto market. At some point, it rose to $0.84, which was a 40% surge from the initial price. As the CFX Quantum ecosystem gains more traction in 2021, we expect the price of CFXQ token to follow a similar uptrend. Marco Mottana: Edward Moon: I read that CFXQ has already listed on 7 exchanges. Did this feat have an impact on the performance of the token? As a team experienced both in the traditional and crypto finance terrain, we understand that liquidity plays a vital role in the success of crypto assets. Hence, we moved to onboard CFXQ on popular exchanges. At the moment, you can buy or trade the token on Digifinex, Latoken, P2pb2b, Whitebit, XT, Coinsbit, and the CFX Exchange. It is vital to expand the options available to intending and existing CFXQ holders. To this end, we will continue to capitalize on opportunities to list CFXQ on reputable exchanges. Marco Mottana: Edward Moon: What other initiatives have you put in place to ensure that CFXQ maintains an uptrend? In addition to the functionalities of the CFX Quantum platform that give CFXQ its intrinsic value, we will also implement a token buyback and burning program periodically. The project uses 5% of the quarterly revenue to purchase CFXQ tokens and burn them. This initiative is a deflationary approach that ensures the long-term viability of the token. Marco Mottana: Edward Moon: What about the CFX Quantum referral system? Why is this integral to the ecosystem? The partnership with ATS Sharing birthed our referral system, which has helped establish a growing network of investors and users. With this system, users can send referral links on social media to receive rewards. And thanks to the success of this program, the CFX Quantum Wallet-Exchange has flourished, and our community has increased exponentially. Marco Mottana: Edward Moon: What are the things you and your team have planned for 2021? We will continue to finetune our products to ensure optimal service delivery at all times. Also, expect the launch of new offerings that further simplify the way people engage with the decentralized finance sector to become financially independent. Marco Mottana:
