IND 2.0 Product Launch

 

As announced on 17 August 2020, Coinsilium acts as strategic advisor to Indorse in relation to the launch of IND 2.0. The Company provided a further progress update on 26 October 2020.

 

In preparation for the launch of IND 2.0,  Indorse has now announced the launch of the IND token staking dashboard, which can be accessed here. The Indorse 2.0 Light-Paper which provides full specifications relating to its updated token utility model can be downloaded here. 

 

Indorse describes the IND staking dashboard as the first step towards the launch of IND 2.0 and lists details of forthcoming features such as incentives for stakeholders including early contributors, validators and decentralised referral agents, integration of the staking dashboard functionality with the Indorse platform and the delegation of tokens for decentralised governance.

 

IND 2.0 Staking Model

 

Staking is the act of 'locking' a cryptocurrency token into a digital wallet with the intent of supporting the operations of a blockchain by reducing the circulating supply of tokens and increasing their scarcity. In return for staking tokens for a specified time period the holder is rewarded with more tokens through a smart contract on the blockchain.

 

Users of IND 2.0 will be able to stake their IND tokens to earn reward tokens by "depositing" them in the Indorse staking Smart Contract. Staking rewards are given out of a pool of 14,624,747.00 "Inflation Tokens" that have been kept aside from the IND token sale in 2017.  The staking rewards distribution model is designed to be available for a period of 60 months and the available supply will continue decreasing month over month until the 60th month, though may continue beyond this time period depending on availability of IND tokens in the pool.

 

Disclosure Note

 

Indorse is a Coinsilium equity portfolio company. Coinsilium currently holds a 10% interest in the issued share capital of Indorse. Coinsilium also holds 5,293,875 IND tokens representing approximately 14.12% of the current circulating supply. This holding is formed of a combination of tokens granted as founder investors in Indorse as well as subsequent market purchases made by the Company.
