PARKGENE Successfully completes its ICO

We are excited to announce that the PARKGENE crowdsale has come to a close.

We would firstly like to express our gratitude towards our community for their overwhelming support, and for believing in our vision.

Secondly, we would like to inform the community on our results:

  • Well over 10,000 participants are part of our project already by participating in the ICO, while more than 20,000 people have engaged with our social media channels sharing their support and enthusiasm throughout this campaign.
  • On the crowdsale, the last couple of weeks have led to a strong finish and our tally stands at a total of 294,850,587.33 tokens allocated out of a 350 Million supply.
  • Of the total tokens allocated, approximately 243 million are pending KYC before distribution, approximately 51 Million are pending banking clearances and 1 million tokens are allocated to the GENE wallet for sale to latecomers with a 25% bonus until the tokens are distributed to the participants and start trading in exchanges.
  • We will burn a minimum of 55,149,412.67 GENE Tokens which were not sold, together with any quantity of GENE Tokens which their participants fail the KYC or bank clearance.

 

KYC (Know Your Customer) procedure

The next step of the ICO is the necessary KYC phase before the distribution of the GENE token to the participants. Participants will have to complete the KYC check through the KYC section at https://tokensale.parkgene.io.

Bounty hunters do not need to go through the KYC check.

PARKGENE Launches GENE Wallet and Announces GENE Debit Card

In-line with our product development roadmap we are happy to announce the launch of GENE Wallet and the addition of the GENE Card as an extension of the PARKGENE ecosystem. These offer massive growth potential for the GENE token as a means of payment for numerous types of transactions and merchants.

The launch of  the GENE Wallet and the GENE Card, comes as a result of our continuous research and development effort in making PARKGENE the standard for the next generation Parking Market and enable the GENE Token to become the primary means of payment for all automotive industry payments.

We firstly enable users to store their GENE tokens – secondly store other cryptocurrency as well as FIAT currency and to use the wallet to pay for services across the PARKGENE and the automotive industry ecosystems,  as well as spending their cryptocurrency for traditional payments of any kind.

’We are excited to launch the GENE Wallet, a powerful, convenient, and differentiated multi-cryptocurrency wallet, for iOS and Android, able to store Ether, BTC, GENE and other ERC-20 Tokens and handle credit and debit cards for FIAT transactions’’ said John Zarifis, CTO of PARKGENE, “In addition to the GENE Mobile Wallet launch, we are adding E-Money / Debit Card Functionality with the addition of the GENE Card, planned for Q3 2018, in our roadmap. Users will be able to connect their GENE wallet to a physical card through which they can buy products and services using FIAT currency. The GENE Card will provide a powerful, easy, and flexible way to exchange cryptocurrencies to FIAT by utilizing real-time dynamic algorithms to maximize the user’s Crypto currency portfolio value”.
