A new version of our White Paper is now available on our website. The paper reflects three strategic choices that we made in recent weeks, namely:

Collectibles as a Service (CaaS)

Initially, UNICO’s business model was based on sourcing proactively premium digital content and making direct agreements with content producers in order to create and release limited-edition cryptocollectibles. Then, we realized that such a model with “centralized” cryptocollectibles creation is not sufficient to fulfill the demand for cryptocollectibles in the coming years. People love to collect, but the market lacks a wide choice of valuable, emotion-filled digital collectibles. As a consequence, we have decided to build a user-friendly Collectibles as a Service platform, which will enable any digital creator (art, photography, videos, 3D models, VR scenes, game items) to turn their premium content into cryptocollectibles and monetize them. So, on our platform collectors will find two types of cryptocollectibles:
• Made by UNICO, based on content owned or managed directly by UNICO,
• Powered by UNICO, based on content created and managed by third parties.

Moving to EOS

As discussed in this post, we initially planned to launch our project on the Ethereum blockchain. Later on, we decided that EOS is the most suitable ecosystem to host the UNICO project. In addition to some well-known EOS features (no gas fees, scalability, etc) which are optimal for the deployment of consumer products, we also kept into account some strong expressions of interest and support for our project from a number of players in the EOS ecosystem.

New Token Minting Policy

Initially we planned to mint 15 million UNI tokens, with a target launch price of 1 USD. We have now decided to mint 1.5 billion UNI tokens, with a target launch price of 0.01 USD. Obviously those who have already pre-bought UNI tokens will soon see in the Collector App an updated token balance reflecting this change, i.e. they will see 100 x the previous balance. Incidentally, we strongly encourage all our supporters and in particular those who participated in previous token presales to download our app (links on our website) and register!

Coming Next: Decision on Token Distribution

We have not yet made a final decision regarding the token distribution modalities and schedule. We are comparing the standard ICO model alternative mechanisms linking UNI token and product sales. The details of our token distribution process will be finalized and communicated soon.

We have a number of exciting announcements coming up. Join our Telegram group, follow us on Twitter, and you will be among the first to know and grab rewards!
