Hello to EOS people,
Please welcome KUNA, the first cryptocurrency agency in Ukraine and Eastern Europe, as a candidate for EOS Block Producer.
Since 2014 we have been consulting, developing and managing Blockchain projects in the field of FinTech and GovTech.
In December 2015 we did first successful crowdsale (now ico) in Ukraine and transformed from a ‘manual’ service to a thousands-client exchange in an automatic mode through the service kuna.io. In April 2016 we launched the first public crypto assets exchange in Eastern Europe on the same domain. Now KUNA Exchange is the easiest way to buy and sell cryptocurrency in Eastern Europe. This project is the one we are especially proud of – it is easy-to-use, secure, and has functional API. We run EOS trades to Hryvna (Ukraine currency) since Feb 2018.

COMMUNITY BENEFIT
KUNA is a leading agency in consulting, management and development, so we plan to do our bit in EOS community development.
In April 2016 we launched KUNA Exchange – the first public crypto assets stock exchange. The main objective of it is to provide services to individuals and small businesses. Serendipity and usage simplicity are the qualities on the top of the merits of the exchange. We plan to develop and assist small and medium-sized businesses by creating projects for crowdfunding and crowdsale.
In January 2018 we opened a Blockchain Hub, the first part of the unique network of hubs in the largest cities of CIS countries. This network will play a key role in the creation of innovative projects and ideas on Blockchain technology and cryptocurrency eco-system basis.

ROADMAP
Our main aim is building the infrastructure of the future today.
We create secure projects: KUNA exchange was tested by Hacken Partners and proved its safety.
We create scalable projects: since 2014 we have launched the Bitcoin Embassy in Kyiv, published the Bitcoin license, developed KUNA.io and CryptoRous projects, opened Blockchain Hub in Kyiv - all these initiatives continue to grow now.
We create socially valuable projects: our Foundation of the Development of Social Innovations CryptoRous (FCR) is focused on spreading the blockchain technology in the transformation of the economic system, public administration systems and civil society.
BlockchainHUB is the headquarters of crypto and EOS community in Ukraine. We do blockchain meetups on the daily basis and regular hackathons. This infrastructure will be used to grow the EOS developers network.
DIVIDEND POSITION
We plan to use dividends to grow community in CIS (ex USSR) countries. Grow our technical infrastructure and stimulate adoption of EOS in commercial and government sector in the region.
We also commit to not pay for nor offer any monetary or access-based compensation to voters for their Block Producer vote.
