Steven Polyak, Managing Director and Co-Founder of Crypterium, commented on the upcoming token sale:
“Our token will perform two functions. The first will be similar to the ‘gas’ used in Ethereum. In our case it will be used to support and develop Crypterium. There will be a 0.5% charge on each transaction performed on our platform, which will be used to purchase tokens from the exchange that will be burned during the performance of operations. This will ensure stable demand and, accordingly, a growth in the value of token. The second function involves the formation of a token fund called the Monthly Cashback Fund, which will receive 30% of our economic benefit obtained from the fee paid by a business for the use of our platform.”
Registration of ICO participants will commence on October 24, 2017. Tokens can be purchased for either crypto- or fiat currency.
