On January 15, 2018, Pikcio AG and Didier Collin of Casaubon, CEO of MatchupBox, organized a webinar update to announce that the PKC token had been transferred from Ethereum's ERC-20 to NEO's NEP-5 for their presale.
The presale started on November 11, 2018 and will end on February 27, 2018. The current presale bonus is 20%, and 1 NEO is worth 30 PKC tokens.
Matchup Box, the developer of PikcioChain, plans to open a subsidiary in China in March 2018, to distribute the PikcioChain and extend the Pikcio service to the Eastern market. PikcioChain will partner with NEO's Onchain Distributed Network Architecture (DNA), and seek to help promote NEO's smart economy on the European market.
What is PikcioChain?
PikcioChain is a secure permissions-based platform that specializes in collecting, certifying and exchanging personal data. PikcioChain enables companies to exchange personal data securely and confidently, while empowering individuals, giving them control over their personal data and enabling them to realize their financial worth.
The blockchain has been in research and development for three years and is currently associated with companies such as BNP Paribas, Jouve, Firm Brev & Sud, Telefonica, P2Link, Cardif (BNP Paribas Group) and NTT Data. Didier has also announced a partnership with Price Waterhouse Coopers, which will be their financial advisor in Europe and Russia regarding the symbolic sale.
The PikcioChain, aims to allow companies to offer or use services, such as commercial offers, advertisements and data portability, based on customer data authorizations and certification by PikcioPro. PikcioPro also acts as the Pikcio market portal where certified data can be exchanged, purchased or sold.
In addition, PikcioChain seeks to be a gateway for individual end users, allowing users to communicate and share data securely with third parties via PikcioMe. With the help of PikcioMe, users can also retrieve their data from different sources or Web services and earn Pikcio Tokens (PKC) by selling or certifying their data. The application PikcioMe is free and can be used freely for personal tasks such as chat and file exchange.
Other use cases and areas of business in which the blockchain can operate are, banking, insurance, human resources, health, education, retail, government, and home automation.
For the first quarter, MatchupBox is planning a variety of international visits and meetings to spread information about PikcioChain and meet potential partners. The ultimate goal of Didier is to meet and interact with the NEO community around early February 2018.
Why does PikcioChain use NEO?
In the video announcement, Didier said, "The NEO code is a fantastic code, which we find very strong and probably safer," and he thinks it's only one of the first ones to choose to launch their ICOs on the blockchain of NEO.
In addition, Didier believes that the launch of their platform on NEO will benefit each other NEO and PikcioChain to gain ground on the world markets. Pikcio is also interested in the transition from financial technology and insurance technology to the smart car market and the telecommunications market.
