The Robonomics token is trading for $95,000 each on Uniswap

 Robonomics’ lifetime subscription token is trading for close to six-figures on Uniswap.


The highly-anticipated launch of Polkadot’s (DOT) mainnet has seen many smaller crypto assets associated with the project explode recently.

Both tokens of the distributed ledger technology (DLT)-powered robotics and Internet-of-Things (IoT) project Robonomics have been among those to surge alongside Polkadot, with the price of its utility token XRT increasing 10 times earlier this month.

However, Robonomics’ “lifetime subscription token,” Robonomics Web Services (RWS), has also posted massive gains — becoming the first crypto token to trade for more than $100,000 when it tagged $116,000 in recent weeks.

RWS’s extreme price owes to the token’s minute supply, with only 50 coins currently circulating from a maximum supply of just 100 tokens. While the first 50 tokens were distributed via the XRT/RWS pairing on Uniswap, the remaining coins have been “reserved for academia and non-profit organizations.”

Robonomics leverages blockchain technology to build open-source packages supporting robotics and smart cities. The RWS token comprises a “subscription model experiment” for the Robonomics network, with RWS guaranteeing lifetime transactional throughput to the holder.

Each token guarantees one transaction per second between the Robonomics Parachain and the token-holders’ IoT device, or 2.5 million transactions per month. Transactional throughput is also guaranteed to fractional RWS owners — with holders of 0.1 RWS gaining access to one transaction every 10 seconds, while owners of 0.001 RWS can execute a transaction once every 100 seconds, and so on.

RWS is currently trading exclusively on Uniswap, generating close to $350,000 in 24-hour volume. The token has a market cap of just $4.65 million, ranking it outside of the top 500 crypto assets by capitalization.

Robonomics describes the token as a “pioneers’ special offer,” noting that future token models will offer “other types of RWS tokens with monthly and other types of limitations.”

RWS is currently in alpha, with the token’s beta release scheduled for the fourth quarter of 2020. Despite 900% spikes earlier this month, Robonomics’ tokens have since retraced by roughly 20% to 25% from their all-time highs.

Five Bitcoin Price Charts Analyzing The Dramatic Q1 2022 Conclusion

There are only hours remaining until the Q1 2022 close in Bitcoin price action. With the important quarterly candle set to close tonight, let’s look at what technicals might say about the direction of the next quarter. Q1 2022 Comes To A Close For Bitcoin The first quarter of a year, often sets the tone for the year to come. In investments, a poor Q1 performance is indicative of a bad year ahead. Considering the fact that Bitcoin price is now above $45,000 after touching $32,000 this quarter, it is tough to say the performance has been “poor” by anything other than crypto standards.

ENS DAO delegates offer perspective on DAO governance and decentralized identity

AlphaWallet CEO and Spruce co-founder talk about their roles as contributors to the Ethereum Name Service following the project's recent airdrop. Earlier this month, the Ethereum Name Service, or ENS, formed a decentralized autonomous organization, or DAO, for the ENS community.  Cointelegraph spoke to two ENS DAO delegates who applied for the opportunity to represent the community and stay involved in the decision making process: Victor Zhang, CEO of AlphaWallet, an open source Ethereum wallet, and Gregory Rocco, co-founder of Spruce, a decentralized ID and data toolkit for developers. Zhang spoke about his experience as an external contributor to ENS and an early supporter since 2018. Zhang initially sought to help ENS by offering Alpha Wallet as a user-friendly tool for  resolving .eth names and cryptocurrency wallet addresses. Essentially, if a user inputs an .eth name in the AlphaWallet, it will show the wallet address, and vice versa using reverse resolution. Alpha...

How Social Platform Chingari is Using Web 3.0 to Transform the Traditional Way We Use Social Media

The world is changing. This isn’t news to anyone, but sometimes it is nice to realize that—contrary to news headlines—not all the change is bad.  In fact, the last decade has seen so much innovation and so many improvements to technology that even 2015 seems like a different world.  Internet speeds, connecting with anyone globally (for free), and our ability to reach large groups of people without a middleman is nothing short of revolutionary. When it comes to technology evolution, this often happens with different iterations.  Once a system is mature, there’s a better idea of what we would like to change and improve.  We go back to the drawing board, target our creative minds at the issues, and create a new version that has evolved to better meet our needs.  The Internet has followed this model since its inception, evolving through three distinct stages.  We are only at the cusp of the third stage, called Web 3.0, with technologies such as blockchain and ...
