Ardor snapshotting process has now begun. Those interested in a stake in Ardor can get it by holding Nxt (version 1.9 launched on July 14th). From July 14th to mid October 12th (Block 1,000,000), all NXT currency owners will be given a stake in Ardor, at a ratio of 1:1.
In addition, the Nxt team has partnered with Bitpanda in the EU to enable anyone to buy the NXT currency with EUR. This is the first time people outside the blockchain community will be able to invest in an easy and secure way. Ardor token holders will be able to trade them as they wish until the launch of Ardor in Q3 2017.
Building on Nxt’s proven technology, developers designed Ardor to function beyond financial exchanges. The platform will be open to everyone, including individual users, fintech start-ups, banks and governments. For the first time any business will be able to create its own blockchain with code and technology secured by the entire ecosystem.
