Firstly, what is Janus? A project by veteran blockchain ethusiasts who have 50 years of combined industry experience to create a blockchain based profit sharing plan. The Janus project is about creating platforms which target carefully selected markets and leverage the social fabric of the internet to attract audiences and capture market share, resulting in a business which can deliver substantial profits to it's investors. Their recent business involvement was to launch a bitcoin iGaming site (BetterBets.io), their first entry in the blockchain business sector has managed over 42 million USD in volume within 17 months. It might not be a new idea nor new technology, but it could be a new way on creating a token where the blockchain is treated as a technology for paying dividen, not only for trading purpose. It should not only be a "technology for technology". Visit the site https://janustoken.com/.
The token will run on NXT platform and will also migrate to ARDOR once its launched. I might not be the biggest fan of NXT but they have a good wallet which i really like to use (currently thinking on investing more on this ARDOR), check this :
There should be no worry about an adding to exchanger as their in-wallet exchange works quite well, the team also noted that the dividen's disribution could be done in a single click and transparent, and with the security of Smart Transactions, we can have a peace of mind that the business operations on the child chain will be secure.
