Topic: [ANN] [ICO] Vinaya Token ICO (Read 182 times)
We have chosen waves because we have past experience with it and it was generally good. Moreover, most of our audience is on waves, and smart contracts will soon be available there. In addition to that, the coin is directly listed on the waves dex, which is a big plus.
I would like to ask the developers. And why the basis of the token laid Waves protocol? At present, as far as I know, this is not the most relevant protocol. Mostly the protocol is the Etherium. Why?
The idea is so good. This project has many competitors in the industry which have already tied their ropes in the world and also offering similar services to the people all around the world
Thanks! We hope to get your support!
A good idea. Education is an important area and it is very good that there are projects that are aimed to improve this area with the help of blockchain technology. Good luck!
. Introduction
With the ever-growing field of cryptocurrency and expanding adoption of virtual currencies around the globe, the problem of formalizing education in the field of cryptocurrency arises. Currently, most people venturing into the world of cryptocurrency come from business and investment backgrounds; however, many teachers are also interested in cryptocurrency. Moreover, after the officialization of cryptocurrencies in major countries such as Germany, Australia, and Japan, the educational sector is not adequately represented nor crypto-enabled. This is why, Vinaya aims to get teachers and students into the world of cryptocurrency through creating special training programs, teacher rewarding mechanisms, and registered training organizations which offer cryptocurrency related majors alongside others.

In order to reach its goals by fulfilling the above-mentioned objectives, Vinaya needs to raise the funds to cover the above which amount to a grand total of (1,500,000$). To do this, Vinaya will be launching the Vinaya token on the WAVES Platform.
. Waves Protocol
Vinaya is created and hosted on the Waves Blockchain and holds the advantage of being decentralized. The coin is pre-mined, so all tokens are with Vinaya and will be distributed or sold by it.
The Waves Platform uses the Proof of Stake (POS) and Leased Proof of Stake (LPOS) algorithm, which means that all coins are already pre-mined and there is no further need for mining thereby insuring fast transactions with stable transaction fees. In addition to that, with the recent implementation of WAVES-NG, the transaction speed of the Waves blockchain has become the fastest among cryptocurrencies processing hundreds of transactions per second.
. Vinaya Network and ICO Details
A total of 100,000,000 (100 Million) Vinaya non-reissuable tokens have been created at genesis with the asset ID 8fQuEPiE99oW2CTzZhCLeARMqphNc63kibhbeifATasD.
A total of 30,000,000 coins will be used to reach a soft cap of around 500,000$ divided between fiat and major cryptocurrencies (Bitcoin, Ethereum, Litecoin, WAVES, etc…) while the remaining 70,000,000 coins will be sold to reach the hard cap of around 1,500,000$. Once the soft cap is reached, the process for obtaining and registering the organization will commence.
The ICO will take place on WAVES dex and the Vinaya website, in addition to special offers in pre-ico. The ICO will run for 6 months or until all at least 50,000,000 Vinaya have been sold. To encourage early participation, the ICO will be divided into pre-ico and general crowdsale. The 100 million tokens will be divided according to the following table.
