The next generation of Distributed smart network blockchain for the sharing economy
What is UCHAIN?
Have you ever heard about sharing economy ecosystem? heard about Uber or Airbnb? I know your answer to the 2nd question is YES…!
According to eMarketer’s latest estimates, over a quarter (26.0%) of US adult internet users or 56.5 million people will use a sharing economy service at least once in 2017.
These charts show the popularity of sharing economy ecosystems among our community..its growing day by day..even with such a huge popularity these systems having some problems/issues of trust /high transaction cost and data abuse.
UCHAIN is the first public infrastructure blockchain specifically designed for the global sharing economy. Along with other sharing economy enterprises, UCHAIN aims to build its underlying blockchain network to solve the current problems of trust and data abuse. Exercising API's and SDK's provided by UCHAIN, all sharing economy enterprises are able to issue their own token and build their application on the UCHAIN network, together making UChain a better global autonomous sharing economy ecosystem.
How Uchain solve major problems of current sharing economy ecosystems?
P-P network-
Decentralized peer to peer blockchain network with a smart contract to cutoff intermediaries.
Distributed data source-
Encrypted data shredded and stored on different nodes to improve data security.
User credit passport-
Cross-application user credit passport with a proprietary credit rating algorithm to effectively record user behavior.
Token incentive-
Tokenized ecosystem to increase participation and engagement of both users and enterprises
Importance of combination of sharing economy ecosystem and Blockchain technology
Blockchain exists for more than just digital currency. The financial industry has recently become more receptive to blockchain technology and many believe it shows great promise in reducing transfer times and fees alike.
The sharing economy, comprising primarily millennials, is the perfect fit for a new payment resolution system. Blockchain provides this service by integrating a lightning fast, easily verifiable and trust-less payment system that works cross-border. While fiat currency must be exchanged at a hefty fee for use in other countries, blockchain systems are almost universally global.
A currency issued by a private institution runs the risk of fraud or embezzlement, whereas blockchain technology avoids this through decentralization. Once a blockchain is available, it requires a support network of remote nodes that process transactions and validate the ‘chain’ in tandem.
A certain number of these nodes are required to form a consensus before a transaction can be fully validated. This process has the potential to integrate all of the various arms of the sharing economy into one complete marketplace. While Uber and Airbnb both take a cut of the profits, a blockchain based service would have no such need – the middleman is cut out completely by an autonomous system.
UCHAIN and U-Bicycle
What is the relationship between these two?
U-Bicycle is one of the world’s leading bike-sharing platforms that aims to revolutionize mobility in cities and campuses by empowering global citizens with a greener, more efficient, and affordable mode of transportation. U-bicycle has over 30 million registered users currently located in East Asia, South East Asia, North America, with plans to move into Europe.
U-bicycle already launched an application called Dapp to facilitate their operations. With the use of this mobile app, users can locate and return their bikes anywhere responsible and permitted by local law. You can download the app from Google play (android version) or app store(ios) .U-bicycle planed to sharing their bicycle application on UCHAIN after mainnet and enterprise open platform released.
UCN Token-
UCN is the basic token of UCHAIN blockchain. All transactions will be dominated in UCN. The value of all other tokens is derived from UCN. Those who wish to join or leave UChain ecosystem must buy or sell UCN.
Token Contract Address: 0xaaf37055188feee4869de63464937e683d61b2a1
Symbol: UCN
Decimals: 18
Staked UCN (UCP)
Users can get UCP by locking their UCN. UCP is just UCN with voting power, and as such gives the holder higher ecological access.
URC-1 Token-
All applications built on UCHAIN can issue their URC-1 standers token
Token sale-
Token sale completed successfully during the presale. 30,000+ ETH Raised and crowdsale canceled and replaced by bounty Program.
