BOUNTY CAMPAIGN

SPINDLE is the official utility token to be used on the blockchain-based investment / asset management platform SPINDLE, a comprehensive space which aims to act as a gateway creating access to various investment options at a high level of transparency.

SPINDLE believes that establishing a fair relationship between investors and asset managers is the best way to remove investors’ vague sense of unease about investment and encourage involvement in proactive asset management.

Recent years have seen global credit crises like the collapse of Lehman Brothers in 2008 and the Greek financial crisis. These are but few of the examples of financial collapse from conventional centralized countries and their central banks. On the other hand, Bitcoin and other digital currencies have emerged, rapidly developing decentralized markets where individuals can judge and improve currency values.
The SPINDLE project aims to enable more people to enjoy enriched lives through investment and asset management, and to become free from the conventional exploitative social structure that is based on centralized authority.

PRODUCT DETAILS

PROTOTYPE #1

SPINDLE TOKEN ECONOMY MODEL

After the ICO, SPINDLE will be made available on Windows, Mac, IOS and Android as an application called SPINDLE Service Application (SPA). SPD holders can use the SPA app to invest in virtual currency hedge funds around the world. SPINDLE PROTO #2 is the SPA beta version, and after the ICO, the SPINDLE committee will select 5 to 10 virtual currency hedge funds and ICO tokens will be made available.

SPINDLE ICO

ICO DATES: 9 MAY 2018 - 15 MAY 2018

SOFT CAP: 60,000 ETH
HARD CAP: 1,581,000 ETH

The difference between SPINDLE’s token sale and other ICOs is that, unlike ICOs which start to create their service applications after their ICOs, SPINDLE will start creating an application from early 2018, with the target of launching the service just after the ICO.
