Палм Бич, после новогодних каникулах, начали бомбить алертами:
SALT
SALT stands for Secure Automated Lending Technology. It’s a platform that allows holders of blockchain assets to leverage their holdings as collateral for cash loans.
To date, we’re enjoying gains of 84% on SALT. But I see more profits on the horizon. That’s why we’re raising the buy-up-to price today. But first, let me refresh your memory on SALT Lending.
The SALT Lending Platform is the first of its kind.
It gives blockchain asset holders access to liquidity without having to sell their tokens. Plus, your ability to borrow is based on your assets. That means you can borrow regardless of your credit score.
Here’s what’s going on with SALT now…
It successfully launched its platform, as scheduled, at the end of December.
In its first week of live operations, it received funding requests of over $500 million. SALT is taking a methodical pace, and it has funded $7.1 million in loans backed by bitcoin and Ethereum so far.
If getting a half-billion dollars in pending business wasn’t enough, SALT just implemented a form of staking called “proof of access.” Staking is where you set aside a certain amount of tokens and receive certain benefits. In SALT’s case, you can use your staked balances to qualify for lower fees and reduced interest rates.
This is super bullish for SALT. It’s creating a brand-new source of demand for the SALT token that is not yet being reflected in its price.
But there’s more: SALT announced that loans can now be repaid using SALT tokens. SALT tokens currently trade around $11, but they retail for $27.50 when you buy them off the SALT platform. Here’s what’s great about that… SALT will value your tokens for loan repayment at $27.50.
So, if you borrow $100,000, you can spend $50,000 on SALT tokens in the open market and then redeem them against your loan for a value of $100,000.
It’s free money.
That’s why we’re raising the buy-up-to price to $20. If you haven’t taken a position in SALT, now is a great time.
DragonChain
Dragonchain originated in 2014 as part of The Walt Disney Company's Open Source Project. Open source software is usually developed as a public collaboration and made freely available.
Founded by CEO Joe Roets, Dragonchain officially went open-source in 2016. It's now run by the Dragonchain Foundation.
Roets' goal is to build Dragonchain Inc. into a commercial business that helps other companies start quickly and easily using blockchain technology.
Dragonchain's ecosystem includes a blockchain protocol, a commercial marketplace, and an incubator to launch new projects.
Dragonchain's protocol is turnkey and scalable. It also enables smart contract development using many popular programming languages.
Dragonchain also has a unique feature: All of its smart contracts have access to Amazon web services.
And the entire ecosystem runs on the DRGN token.
Per Roets, protection of business assets will be one of the main use cases for Dragonchain.
Italian fine art website Look Lateral and identity security company LifeID are already using Dragonchain. Look Lateral plans to record ownership of art assets on the blockchain. And LifeID will use Dragonchain to build a secure identity platform.
With a blockchain, marketplace, and incubator, many companies will seek out Dragonchain to implement their projects.
WAX
WAX is a global decentralized marketplace for virtual assets.
It was developed by the founders of OPSkins, the world's leading marketplace for online video game assets.
WAX is designed to serve the 400 million-plus online players already buying and selling in-game items, a $50 billion-plus per year business worldwide.
What's significant is that companies that use the platform will need zero investment in security, infrastructure, or payment processing. It's all taken care of when they use the WAX platform.
The WAX platform is in alpha development and aims to launch this year.
QTUM
Based out of Singapore, Qtum is a blockchain application platform for smart contracts and decentralized applications.
Qtum uses what it calls an "Account Abstract Layer" that enables it to communicate with both the bitcoin and Ethereum blockchains. That means applications on Qtum can combine the security of the bitcoin blockchain with the functionality of Ethereum smart contracts.
Developers will be able to design applications for a variety of industries such as mobile telecommunications, counterfeit protection, finance, logistics, and manufacturing.
Qtum launched its mainnet in September and currently has several dApps (decentralized applications) on its platform.
In 2018, expect to see an increased marketing presence from Qtum as well as more dApps added to its platform.
