Fractional ownership of NFTs and other crypto assets is divvied up according to how many tokens you have. Read More

Can blockchain help solve the woes of the media and entertainment industry?
Media and entertainment isn’t quite the industry we think of when it comes to blockchain. Often misunderstood and mistakenly used interchangeably, blockchain has gained both popularity and notoriety due to its association with the ever-controversial bitcoin.
There are multitudes of practical applications for blockchain technology due to its security and transparency – cryptocurrency is just one of them.
A blockchain is a highly secure, decentralized database system that stores records of data in a cryptographic format. Unlike normal databases, blockchain data created by users (transactions) are not stored in a central location (like a data server). Instead, they are stored on the machines or systems of the people who create the data, across a network. As creators store that data themselves, they ‘own’ their data, thus the system is considered ‘decentralized’. Read More

EVDC is the first decentralized token which used as ev charging currency.EVDC token launched on Pancakewap and Uniswap. 18 billion tokens were sold at the pre-sale. Migration completed 07/11.
EV car owners are frequently dissatisfied by the difficulty they have in finding a charging station and paying for it. Multiple charging stations have been installed in various places, yet there is a dearth of awareness among EV owners. Furthermore, rapid charging is not available at all charging stations. As a result, these stations have long lines.
With the rise in electric car sales, numerous firms have developed mobile and web apps to make paying for charging stations easier. Despite the abundance of alternatives, payment at charging stations is delayed owing to network connectivity challenges, lack of app membership, lack of a bank account linked to the app, and other factors. These difficulties may cause the billing procedure to be delayed. As a result, a faster and easier approach to complete the payment process at charging stations is required. Read More
