Eidoo Burns 28 Million $EDO in Preparation for Governance Token Upgrade on June 18th

June 11, 2020

June 11, 2020 – Switzerland

The upgraded $EDO token will be relabeled as $PNT and upon launch will have a total supply of just below 60 million tokens. This $PNT token will power an industry-first DAO, and can be used to stake, vote and earn interest via the new ecosystem pNetwork – the decentralized network powering the pTokens solution.

Provable Things is the main development team behind the pTokens solution, which enables cryptocurrency to “move” across different blockchains. The first of the pTokens series to launch was pBTC, making Bitcoin compatible with Ethereum and EOS DeFi ecosystems so that users do not have to sell or trade their Bitcoin.

The upgraded $PNT token extends the utility of $EDO, providing access to services within the pNetwork (pTokens) ecosystem, as well as continuing to power Eidoo’s industry-leading features such as the Eidoo Card cashback program.

The token upgrade will begin on June 18th and will take a few days to complete.The first step is to take a snapshot of Block #10289700 with all Ethereum addresses holding EDO tokens. This will happen on June 18th around 11:00 am UTC time. For more technical details on how this works please refer to the Eidoo blog.

The upgrade is supported by a number of exchanges which already list $EDO on their platforms, to be announced shortly. All $EDO token holders will see the upgraded $PNT token appear in their accounts soon after the upgrade.

“We’re excited to kickstart a new token economy which allows different DeFi communities to unite, demonstrating the potential of a truly democratic DAO,” says Thomas Bertani, CEO of Eidoo and founder of the pTokens project.

The pNetwork

When launched as a governance token, the circulating supply of approximately 60 million $PNT will be distributed across more than 7,000 blockchain addresses. This will make it one of the largest DAOs in the DeFi space when launched in the coming weeks. Majority control of the project will be in the hands of the community, achieving a truly decentralized governance system.

Anyone holding $PNT will be able to join the pNetwork DAO, and can vote on different improvement and development proposals. For example, members can vote on which new pTokens “bridges” should be developed next, such as pLTC on Ethereum.

All those who stake and actively vote using their $PNT will receive an interest rate of 42% in the first year, and 21% in the second year. This reward incentive is designed to give back to the community and grow the network in its initial stages. Up to 28,350,000 $PNT tokens, which are generated through an inflation mechanism, are dedicated to this initiative.
