Cryptogene's mission is to provide blockchain-based solutions, especially for African countries. The project targets Africa as its primary base and seeks to create better integration and development using the plethora of advantages the blockchain technology offers. We intend to bring cryptocurrency and blockchain technology mainstream on the continent.
Educate
Adopt
Implement
Cryptogene is building a hub which would bring blockchain technology mainstream in Africa through education, awareness creation, and implementation of blockchain-based services. This, the Cryptogene project aims to achieve through the application and use of blockchain tools by producing quality products and end-user services valuable to enthusiastic and engaged individuals.
Cryptogene was founded mid-December 2016 as a Telegram community where people of all nationalities converge to share useful, verifiable information regarding cryptocurrency and the blockchain technology. It expanded further to accommodate interests on building valuable and problem-solving cryptocurrency solutions using the blockchain technology.
With emerging trends in the global cryptocurrency space, there was the need to improve, engage and take problem-solving outside of the vicinity of online community group chat. Creating more public awareness, developing, and managing the public perception of the technology as well as a faster integration into daily lives became paramount.
Cryptogene aims at a multi-platform hub that enables learning, usage and development of blockchain tools for individual purposes as well as organisations. The Cryptogene project will be tokenized so as to keep the interest aroused in the hearts of users. CGT will be the base currency.
The Cryptogene team will continually work to provide various use cases for the CGT token. However, our initial use cases include:
A wiki-like blockchain platform for knowledge sharing. It will serve as a well-structured platform for bridging the gap between the professionals and newbies in blockchain void of much technicalities
Allows users to list their items for sale. And connects buyers and sellers. This is targeted at entrepreneurs and retailers who would accept cryptocurrencies as a form of payment for their goods and services
A system where currencies and other digital assets can be exchanged with cryptocurrencies without the traditional barrier of borders. The Cryptogene Token will serve as the base currency for this exchange
A social media platform useful for communication or inviting members to organized social events. It would be similar to bitcoin talk forums but tokenized. This would be the advanced phase of the parent cryptogene telegram group
Allows members to share their blockchain ideas and get crowd-funded for a start-up. Also, developers and other related service providers could pledge their involvement if the owner of the idea requests such. Another interesting feature is the ability for a member to post a concept and let the idea be developed by community members by brainstorming. The participating members then become stake-holders in the project after a proof-of-idea has been verified. Silk comes with a voting mechanism that enables individuals who stake the platform’s token have a degree of vote to implement a project.
The Cryptogene project comprises of a team of highly skilled individuals with worthwhile and versatile experience in their respective fields that are dedicated to making the Cryptogene project a success. They uphold and share the vision of making the platform a standard hub for community members to appreciate the quintessential importance of the technology, create a unique base for investors and traders, and also provide a platform that would enable members to develop or incorporate blockchain-based assets in their businesses.
