PARKGENE – Status Update 8-11-2019

PARKGENE – Status Update 8-11-2019

 

Having launched PARKGENE service since mid 2018, we have taken several steps to develop the product offering and understand the market dynamics for both the parking industry as well as the adoption of Cryptocurrencies into everyday lives of all the potential users of our system.

It became quickly apparent to us that among other things the problem with the parking ecosystem was that very few people had parking spots and were Crypto enthusiasts.

As the Crypto bear market evolved, we had to act and act we did so. We are delivering Excelon which will be the backbone of the AIRBNB of parking as well as a strong crypto-fiat banking solution for everyone.

During 2019 we have achieved the promissed GENE Token listing in one of the best exchanges globally (LATOKEN) while at the same time we have invested significant efforts in developing the EXCELON Fintech branch which will bring a fully functional exchange for GENE as well a CRYPTO/FIAT gateway for all GENE, and other coin, enthousiasts.

EXCELON is preparing for the launch of the Exchange and Crypto banking service and it shares with us a snapshot of the Web functionality of the Excelon service which incorporates the Crypto functionality.

Excelon Web V2.0, Incorporating FIAT and Crypto Wallets as well as Crypto Exchange Functionalities

 

FUTURE STEPS

2020 holds some key developments for Parkgene namely:

  1. PARKGENE P2P Parking Service, integration with Excelon exchange will simplify the process of instantly buying and Selling Genes. Users that don’t want crypto will still benefit from the parking app
  2. Improved website with new functionality Q1 2020.
  3. Development for an IOT controller a functionality missing from the app today that will be sponsored for parking owners or sold independently. This new product will include:
    1. A Central Controller (CC)to connect with the garage door opener to transmit the open/close door command. The central controller will connect to the PARKGENE cloud through any home’s Internet WiFi or LAN connection.
    2. A Car Sensor (CS)that will be placed at the exact parking spot (in the garage) to indicate where a user should park as well to detect if the spot is taken. This car sensor will connect to the central controller (CC). Each Central Controller (CC) will be able to host more than 50 Car Sensors making it easy to be placed in garages with more than one spots.
    3. Mobile functionality to enable remote control for door openning and closing for garage owners and drivers through the PARKGENE mobile App.
  4. Parkgene’s App upgraded Version 2 should be available by Q3 2020. This will have both functionalities mentioned above as well as referrals and reviews for the sharing ecosystem to work seamlessly.
  5. Full scale marketing campaign city by city.

 

With all this, we would like to share our enthusiasm for the new things to come for both PARKGENE P2P Parking service as well as the GENE Token position in the Cryptocurrency market as a true utility token for P2P Payments with full support of rreal time exchange to FIAT through Excelon Service.

Today, the ecosystem of the PARKGENE numbers more than 67,000 unique users, using the PARKGENE P2P Parking Service and or the GENE Wallet. The apps are available for iOS and Android devices, as well as for web browsers. Currently, PARKGENE has already cooperation and ready-to-lease with more than 18,000 parking spaces in commercial parking areas in the Attica region, Thessaloniki and is also piloting in Cyprus. In addition to Greece and Cyprus, our application records more than 6 million commercial parking spaces in 8,000 cities worldwide.

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:

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.

Cryptocurrency Volatility Protection for GENE Token Buyers

SINGAPORE, ATHENS, LONDON. Thursday January 25, 2018

PARKGENE announced today that it offers downside and upside protection against cryptocurrency volatility for GENE token holders.

 

“Having listened to our community’s concerns regarding the volatility of their cryptocurrency positions, we have decided to help alleviate the concerns of crypto appreciating or depreciating during the course of our ICO, offering guaranteed protections, both in the upside as well as the downside”, said Nikolas Skarlatos, CFO of PARKGENE.

The Volatility Protection scheme is further detailed below with the following two protections offered:

 

  1. Up to 20% upside guaranteed

If the digital asset exchanged for tokens appreciates, the token holder will get extra tokens up to 20% of the upside.

 

  1. Downside protection against any downside risk

If you have purchased GENE tokens using cryptocurrency, we will lock the number of tokens against the crypto price at the time of the purchase.

 

 

More specifically, below you can find the upside-protection level based on participation:

Participation Value   Upside Price Protection
$2,000 – $5,000 10%
$5,001 – $10,000 15%
$10,001 + 20%

 

If the digital asset exchanged for the tokens appreciates, the token holder will be able to benefit from this as his tokens will be recalculated up to a certain percentage based on volume (see table above).

Please note:

  • These recalculations will only involve the tokens allocated from the sale transaction. The adjustment does not apply to bonus tokens.
  • Recalculations are made daily (for reference) and the final calculations will take place on February 19, 2018 or at any point that our hard cap is reached and the ICO is sold-out.

To better understand how the Volatility Protection works please see the examples below:

Example 1: You’ve purchased 95,000 GENE with 1 BTC at $9,500 USD/BTC. At the end of the ICO, BTC has appreciated to $13,000 (a 36.8% appreciation) you will receive 15% more tokens. (14,250 additional tokens)

Example 2: You’ve purchased 95,000 GENE with 1 BTC at $9,500 USD/BTC. At the end of the ICO, BTC has fallen to $7,000 (a 26.3% depreciation) your purchase is not affected by the price decline

Example 3: You’ve purchased 95,000 GENE with 1 BTC at $9,500 USD/BTC. At the end of the ICO 1 BTC has appreciated to $10,500 (a 10.52% appreciation) you will receive 10.52% more tokens (9,994 additional tokens)

Cryptocurrency Gene eyes global parking market – Article on Kathimerini

By VANGELIS MANDRAVELIS

The Greek answer to Bitcoin is Gene, created by the ParkGene company, and is trading on the online market with relative success.

Singapore-based ParkGene is practically run from Athens, where its founding team is located. Since end-December it has been extremely busy, having started its own initial coin offering (ICO), which has done quite well considering it has already sold more than 42 million Genes. The coins sold are valued at $4.2 million (3.44 million euros) and its target is to reach $35 million by February 19. This capital will allow the company to promote Gene around the world, with the aim of selling 1 billion units.

So what can you buy with Genes? To start with, “you will be able to rent parking spaces,” says ParkGene head Ilias Hatzis, the man behind the Greek cryptocurrency. “It’s like Airbnb for your car,” he explains, noting that the company’s aim is to penetrate the international parking market, valued at $100 billion per year.

According to Hatzis, when a car leaves its parking spot, for instance when its driver goes to work, the space is re-leased and can be used by someone visiting the area. There could be an exchange between the two drivers, with ParkGene collecting a small commission – in Genes.

PARKGENE PRE-ICO Sold Out Early – ICO Day #1 Under Way

We are excited to announce that after the PARKGENE PRE-ICO was sold-out early, the PARKGENE ICO is now under-way, amid growing demand for participation in the Early Bird – Day #1 which offers up to 35% bonus. It was announced today that the PARKGENE ICO Day #1  has been extended by 3 days, to January 19, to meet this demand.

 When we launched our Pre-ICO on December 15th, we hoped it would be a success. We couldn’t have predicted what has happened: 20,000,000 GENE tokens sold-out, ahead of time backed by high-net worth individuals, family offices, and investment funds. Today, 9 hours into the ICO Day #1 more than 20 million more tokens had been sold  despite delays attributed to the payment processor.

 “We would like to thank everyone participating in the PARKGENE ICO. We are grateful for the trust you have shown PARKGENE. We’re happy to announce that our Day #1 promo code offering will be extended for 3 additional days until Friday January 19. We want to give everyone the chance to take advantage of our up to 35% Bonus offer, and to reward your patience, trust and support.”, said Ilias Hatzis, CEO of PARKGENE.

 We urge interested participants to lock-in this bonus by joining our Telegram chat at https://t.me/parkgene to get the promo code and then our token sale platform at https://tokensale.parkgene.io where step-by-step instructions are available.

 In the meantime, we are in the process of finalizing our partnerships with exchanges, while, at the same time, working to ensure that our application will launch when the ICO is completed, so you can use your GENE tokens to pay for parking from day one.

 PARKGENE is a cryptocurrency-based peer-to-peer parking application using blockchain and smart contracts to connect drivers with parking spot owners.
