Introducing SPOT

The symbol for the Spotcoin token is SPOT and it will be issued on the NEO smart economy platform, adhering to NEO’s NEP-5 standard.

It will not be possible to mine SPOT, as with Bitcoin and Ethereum. The most SPOT coins there can ever be is 99 million and any Spotcoins that are left unsold after the ICO will be burned.

Donations can be made to the Spotcoin cause in a variety of ways. The site accepts virtual currencies GAS, NEO, ETH, BTC, SIB, along with fiat currencies USD, and EURO, and credit/debit cards Visa and MasterCard.

What is Spotcoin?

The company started out as an over the counter clearinghouse to provide easy movement between fiat and cryptocurrencies. Today, the team is engaged in mining operations, education in the Black Sea Region, and building a global digital exchange based in Georgia.

Andrew Thornhill, Spotcoin Co-Founder, said of the blockchain project: “The chasm between legacy financial markets and new digital asset ecosystems has grown as the market exploded. Spotcoin was born to bridge the gap.”

Spotcoin is an economic platform designed to bridge the gap between legacy financial markets and emerging digital asset ecosystems.

It adds trust to the fragmented landscape of new digital assets by quickly and transparently handling complex transactions while matching orders and removing market inefficiencies.

The aim is to build digital asset management tools and develop an accompanying interface that allows customers to derive the full benefit of the smart economy.
