Press Release: PARKGURU adds AIRBNB Parking functionality and becomes “PARKGENE”

PARKGURU, an innovative smart parking application, is now integrated into PARKGENE, the world’s first peer-to-peer parking application that uses blockchain technologies and cryptocurrency payments, in order to offer even more value to its users.

PARKGURU begun two years ago with a vision of  changing the way we park. In less than a year, since its launch in July 2017, it has gained more than 50,000 users by offering them a new way to find out where to park, book a parking spot, and pay via smartphone before they even get to their destination.

In the context of offering a more complete range of services, through its subsidiary PARKGENE, it has developed the world’s first peer-to-peer parking service, enabling private parking space owners to rent them out in exchange for GENE tokens (PARKGENE’s currency). This way, taking advantage of new functionalities and additional tools such as the GENE Wallet, all PARKGURU users (now PARKGENE) besides saving time and money on parking, can also monetize their private parking spaces when they’re not being used.

This evolution of PARKGURU and its integration into PARKGENE, takes advantage of the blockchain technologies  and cryptocurrency payments. PARKGENE is the first peer-to-peer parking application on blockchain, where application users can rent their private parking spaces, like Airbnb, but for parking spaces.

The new application includes 6 million parking spaces in 8,000 cities around the world, and there are more than 50 professional parking locations with around 8,000 parking spaces in Greece, ready to accept cryptocurrency payments via the GENE Wallet electronic wallet, specifically Bitcoin, Ethereum,  and GENE tokens,  PARKGENE’s native cryptocurrency. Users can also pay for parking using cash, credit/debit cards.

“We are extremely pleased with the development and commercial progress we have made over the last few months and the launch of PARKGENE, the world’s first application to take advantage of Blockchain technologies in parking” said Nikos Skarlatos, CEO of PARKGENE, Parking is a problem in most large cities around the world and is responsible for 30% of the traffic and 20% of the air pollution generated from cars circling looking for a parking spot. PARKGENE not only makes it easier to find parking, but  it also helps reduce its’ cost.”

Today the Web Service is launching at https://parkgene.io along with the PARKGENE Android App.
The PARKGENE App for iOS will be launched in the coming days.

CoinMarketCap officially lists PARKGENE’s – GENE Token

A message to the PARKGENE community by PARKGENE CEO, Nikolas Skarlatos :

Dear Friends,

We are delighted to announce that CoinMarketCap, the number one trusted resource on cryptocurrency market information, has officially listed the GENE token here:
https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/parkgene/

The official CoinMarketCap listing puts the GENE token at the heart of the cryptocurrency community and justifies our efforts of the past year. We want to thank the PARKGENE community for their support, since it was the trading and the community activity that drove the CoinMarketCap listing.

The CoinMarketCap official listing is another step forward for the GENE token:

  • The PARKGENE community can now get the most up-to-date and credible information on the GENE token’s financial indicators.
  • The CoinMarketCap listing helps with the token’s exposure to a wider cryptocurrency audience interested in the token itself but also in the PARKGENE business.
  • This way, PARKGENE business progress will be associated with the GENE token’s performance more effectively.
  • Finally, we continue to do our best to list the GENE token on other exchanges and the CoinMarketCap official listing will help in our efforts.

On the business side of things, we’d like to remind you that we’ve successfully launched the PARKGENE web service, integrated with the GENE Wallet, as well as the new website where parking spot owners can list their parking spots.

Also, on Monday, May 14th, as promised, we are launching additional enhancements to the GENE Wallet, along with a related announcement.

We continue to work towards the commercial roll-out of PARKGENE Service and our plan to release the Mobile Apps and Web Booking service on June 4th, 2018.

We will continue to keep you regularly updated with our progress.

Sincerely,
Nikolas Skarlatos,

PARKGENE Status Update – April 23

Dear PARKGENE Supporters

We would like to share a quick update on some of the activities that have kept us busy in the past week:

  1. On Monday 26/4 we distributed the GENE Tokens to participants who passed the KYC process and provided an ETH Wallet address.
  2. The same morning we distributed the GENE Tokens to Bounty Hunters who provided their ETH Wallet address.
  3. The GENE Token, since then, has been accepted and trading in three exchanges (BTC-Alpha, Bitpaction, GETbtc)
  4. Trading during week 1 was dominated by sellers who have put a pressure on the GENE Token price, currently trading around $0,012.
  5. Our Team has been supporting all participants and new interested users around the clock on our Telegram Channel and Email.
  6. On the business front we are getting ready for the official launch of the PARKGENE Peer-to-Peer Parking service which is fully integrated with GENE Token and other Cryptocurrency payments.
  7. The GENE Wallet, acting as the payment gateway for the Parking App is already available on Google Play Store while the iOS Version is under review from the AppStore. We believe that the documentation provided to Apple will allow them to list the App soon. We will keep you posted on this.
    The GENE WALLET for Android can be found here at the Google Play Store
  8. We have made the strategic decision to integrate the PARKGENE Peer-to-Peer application with the existing PARKGURU application, so that users are able to access all types of available parking options from one app, using GENE Tokens for payment. This is a major development as it puts PARKGENE at the heart of our 60K+ user community and will drive significant demand for the GENE Token.
  9. We are working with sites like CoinMarketCap to list the GENE token.
  10. We are also in discussions with several Exchanges that could offer significant liquidity to the GENE Token.

 

Next Steps:
We are working hard on executing our roadmap and our next steps include the following:

  1. We are launching the new PARKGENE WebSite for the new PARKGENE Service by May 7th, which allows users to list their parking spot. Approximately one week later we are launching the service that includes the Mobile Apps and a full Web interface.
  2. Next week (beginning of May) we are offering several enhancements to our GENE Wallet, such as ability to transfer In & Out, Bitcoin and Ethereum as well as the ability to trade GENE for Bitcoin or Ethereum and vice versa.
  3. There will be several Announcements on strategic partnerships that we have been working on, aimed to enhance the PARKGENE Ecosystem and the demand for GENE Tokens.

Please stay tuned for more information on the above and future PARKGENE developments.
