UChain is a blockchain for the world's roaring sharing economy. This new blockchain creates an infrastructure that can help this emerging industry leap forward by integrating blockchain into it. Not only does UChain remove the middlemen involved in sharing economies, it also increases data and ecosystem security while providing native cost-effectiveness to dApps built atop it.

These features are enticing value additives, however, a proper foundational strength, along with grasp of weaknesses, is needed to attain them. Here's a business analysis of UChain.

At present, the cryptocurrency community is facing a tsunami of ICOs. The bar for raising funds has been set quite low and this has motivated many individuals to pursue whitepaper ICOs.

UChain stands at a stark differentiation from the present average state of an ICO. This technology will be placed under the product umbrella of U-Bicycle, a major existing company that targets services in the shared travel niche. Unlike the vast portion of blockchains that have been launched just this year, UChain can leverage the existing network of a company with established operations in both the Eastern and Western hemispheres. The immediate wide reach will be the foundation necessary to launch this disruptive technology.

Additionally, it can be tough for any new project to get the ball rolling. However, U-Bicycle has already planned to integrate UChain technology into existing company systems. Consequently, the UChain ecosystem has an immediate customer base.

Blockchain technology is still in a nascent stage and the wider portion of the world is largely unaware of its capabilities beside the basics they’ve heard on the news.

Sharing economies are dependent on sustaining a large userbase. As, the general public is unaware of the benefits blockchain technology, they may not recognize the technical benefits of UChain and may consider the blockchain integration as just an adoption of a fad.

This is a general challenge faced by many blockchain projects. However, part of the obstacle can be overcome by marketing just the consumer-side benefits of added security and cost-effectiveness, and largely leaving the technical outs of public exposure. UChain’s strength of being developed by U-Bicycle, an existing shared travel company, will be a powerful asset in overcoming this weakness.

The utility of both blockchain technology and shared economy products are growing rapidly. UChain benefits from a timely market entry is some of the groundwork has been paved in the blockchain market and shared economy products have been well accepted by the public.

UChain’s value additive features can give it the opportunity to reduce internal market frictions of collaborative products and this added value can be absorbed by the UChain ecosystem. This can then be leveraged to grow the ecosystem.

Shared economy products are backed by many major investment groups and tech companies. Some of the industry’s current market leaders are well-funded and this means UChain would have to enter an attrition battle involving product awareness.

It’s good that the team has recognized this in advance and so has allocated 40% of the tokens to the UChain ecosystem. Additionally, they’re backed by a roster of major investors and this should aid them enhancing their network as they take on existing products that target shared economy.
