Tokens.com Purchases Additional Operating Assets
Tokens.com Corp. (NEO:COIN) (FSE:76M) (“Tokens.com” or “the Company”) is a blockchain technology company that provides transaction processing and validation services for various digital assets that power Decentralized Finance (DeFi) applications and Non-Fungible Token (NFT) platforms. Tokens.com has acquired approximately 35,000 additional Polkadot tokens (DOT) to further its Staking operations. Staking is the environmentally friendly technology used to process and validate blockchain transactions for digital assets such as Ethereum 2.0.
“We don’t believe that the short-term crypto volatility we’re experiencing now will impact the long-term mainstream adoption of the DeFi and NFT platforms we support. Instead, we see the volatility as an opportunity to grow our operations,” commented CEO Andrew Kiguel.
Polkadot is the 8th largest crypto asset by market capitalization. Created by Ethereum co-founder Gavin Wood, Polkadot launched in 2020. Polkadot is a network designed to connect the dots with all other networks. It's commonly referred to as a multi-chain network because it can join blockchain networks together. Polkadot is a programmable blockchain. The Polkadot blockchain network allows blockchains to be designed for very specific uses and still be able to leverage security and data built within the Polkadot framework. As a result, it is a key component for several DeFi and NFT platforms that pay fees to use the Polkadot network for their projects.
