Furthermore it will help all parking owners to exchange GENEs for Euro instantly, taking away a big obstacle from PARKGENE’s commercial rollout.
  2. BUY A MASTERCARD WITH GENE:
    Excelon will offer Excelon prepaid premium mastercards at a 50% discount to users who pay with GENE Tokens. The number of GENEs required to buy an Excelon prepaid premium mastercard will be calculated in real time based on the current market price. This discount is given exclusively to GENE token holders and not to any other currency (Euro, BTC, ETH). PARKGENE will release the “BUY A MASTERCARD WITH GENE” functionality in the next 2 weeks so any user can go into GENE Wallet and use it.

    Given the level of investement, licences and structuring needed, Excelon will provide PARKGENE card and POS on a white label basis in a 50% / 50% revenue share with PARKGENE. This is important for PARKGENE as it takes out all the burden of developing this infrastructure and commiting resources that are out of its P2P Parking initiative.
