The crypto sphere is growing and developing but alongside the industry itself, the needs and demands of people are growing as well. To meet this constantly increasing demand, crypto-related companies should do their best to expand their offerings which will give them an opportunity to attract new clients and retain the existing ones.

eToro, an investment platform that is well-known all over the world, definitely feel the needs of its over ten-million user base. After throughout analysis of the demand, the company has added a new crypto asset to its platform. Now ZCash (ZEC) is available to the platform’s user as well as other 13 digital assets the support of which has been added earlier.

Why ZCash

A decentralized payments network called ZCash stands out from the crowd for its enhanced privacy option offered for users. Thanks to this peculiarity the network is often viewed as a real Bitcoin’s rival. Its history began in 2016 and the group of its founders includes Matthew D. Green, a prominent Johns Hopkins University’s cryptographer.

ZCash network attracts the attention of the crypto community due to its potential to process two types of transactions. On one hand, its transactions can be absolutely transparent which means that it such situations the working principle of the network is very similar to the working principle of many other networks including Cryptocurrency.

On the other hand, transactions on the network can be shielded. In such a case, the information about a recipient, a sender, and payment values is not revealed and can’t be seen by those who have access to a public blockchain.

Such a working principle makes payment audits possible but they can be completed only if users give their consent.

What eToro Offers

Before ZEC was added to the platform, eToro clients had access to13 other digital assets. The list of the available cryptocurrencies included the following assets: Cryptocurrency, Ethereum, Bitcoin Cash, XRP, Litecoin, Ethereum Classic, Dash, Stellar, NEO, EOS, Cardano, IOTA, and BNB.

But given the current situation on the market, it was quite obvious that users want to diversify their portfolio and the eToro team has taken a decision to provide them with such an opportunity.

Speaking about their new initiative Yoni Assia, co-founder and CEO at eToro said:

“The way in which we transfer money from person to person, or company to company is constantly evolving. It is not surprising that others have taken on some of the core ideas behind Cryptocurrency and developed new payment networks with additional features – in the case of Zcash – privacy. We are excited to offer ZEC to eToro investors as they seek to diversify their cryptoasset holdings.”

It has also become known that ZEC will be added to eToro’s CryptoPortfolio as well. This move will give investors am possibility to diversify across all available crypto assets.

Blockstack Announces Its Own Token Sale

Blockstack token

New York–based decentralized internet and developer platform Blockstack has announced its own token sale.

Blockstack recently partnered with a number of venture capital groups to launch the $25 million Blockstack Signature fund. The group also released the “Blockstack Token Whitepaper,” which explains the technical details of the Blockstack Token mining system, the incentive mechanisms and genesis block.

The white paper highlights that the traditional internet is a 40-year-old technology that was originally meant to be a decentralized network. Even though the lower layers of the internet remain fairly decentralized, the application layer of the internet has several centralized points of control and failure. This is what Blockstack intends to solve.

The paper presents Stack, a blockchain token protocol that upgrades the Blockstack blockchain and introduces decentralized governance and incentive mechanisms for a decentralized app ecosystem. Stack enables several new features such as atomic swaps and support for light clients, and it introduces a novel mining mechanism.

Muneeb Ali, co-founder at Blockstack, told bitcoin Magazine: “The Blockstack Token is introducing incentive mechanisms for developers and users to participate in an ecosystem of decentralized apps. Our token white paper describes a novel mining system where in addition to a mining mechanism that secures the blockchain, there is a mechanism for app developers and early users to get new tokens released into the system. We believe that these built-in incentive mechanisms can play a critical role in sustainable growth of the ecosystem.”

Ali added: “In addition, the token enables decentralized governance for protocol upgrades and enables new features like support for truly independent mobile clients, atomic swaps and more.”

The group founders explained in a press release that their primary goal for the Blockstack token sale event is to achieve a wide distribution of tokens. They believe token holders are the “economic stakeholders” of the ecosystem, and that it’s important that the economic distribution represents a broad community.

Highlights of the Blockstack token sale:

  • Everyone will participate at the same time and get the same price.

  • There will be no variable prices during the sale, just a single, constant price.

  • There is no pre-sale or discounts for the upcoming token sale.

  • Existing shareholders of Blockstack PBC purchased tokens allocated for the “Creators” earlier in a separate offering.

  • No other party can buy current or future tokens until the sale opens.

  • Unaccredited users, accredited investors and qualified purchasers can participate in the sale at the same terms.

  • Unaccredited users will get a “voucher” that they can bring back to finish the transaction and will make the payment at a later date.
