Token Purpose

1. Core Usage (e-Payments) a. SENC are used as a intermediary of exchange for Local Crosspay Token (LCT) which will be use through CrossPay blockchain and their built mobile app, they will utilize LCT which will be fixed to the user’s local currency. Refer video [here](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1DuOHhxG2Ng) b. Basically you need SENC token to access the platform so that you can gain access to their available services 2. Insurance Loan & Collateral a. To prevent false insurance claims by utilizing a tamper-proof RFID tag a.k.a. Livestock Identification Tag that are attached to the livestocks. Stores information such as geolocation and timestamp b. With livestock insurance policy, livestock identification tag and the borrower's identity information on the blockchain provides the declaration to the claim of possession of property as well as the proof of origin. Basically Sentinel Chain provide a way to create credit history; the blockchain contains loan agreements that can be used to authenticate if the livestock has been bound. You can say that future lenders will be able to secure loans to the unbanked sector c. SENC may be used as collateral by third party local financing companies as borrowers to secure against offshore lending to minimize high credit risks associated with unsecured loans.

Key Giveaways / Future Opportunities

1. Maybank a. Largest bank by asset and market capitalisation in Malaysia b. A good creditor for settlement and foreign exchange services with low interest 2. [Strategic partnership with Cloudwell and Green Delta Insurance](https://medium.com/sentinelchain/sentinel-chain-empowers-rural-farmers-in-bangladesh-through-partnership-with-cloudwell-and-green-2cf4ffab3344) a. Livestock population density is exceptional compared to other countries b. High economic potential of livestock development for rural farmers

In My Opinion

*Note that I am not a financial adviser 1. Get into strategic partnerships with: a. Agriculture banks; such as Malaysia’s very own agriculture bank ([Agrobank](http://www.agrobank.com.my/)) as such financial institution have built strong trust to rural farmers. Through such partnership it will build endless possibilities for the agriculture sector. b. Rural banks; such as Malaysia’s very own native bank ([Bank Simpanan Nasional](https://www.mybsn.com.my)) to reach the rural farmers. 2. Take a leap into agriculture industry, not only livestock a. Example: Agriculture sector in 2016 for Malaysia; stood at 8.1% / RM89.5 billion to the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) with segregation of contribution at: * 43.1% - oil palm * 19.5% - other agriculture * 11.6% - livestock * 11.5% - fishing * 7.2% - forestry & logging * 7.1% - rubber 3. Build focus into livestock that produces food; such as eggs a. Chicken farming industry was one of the major industry in the livestock sub-sector in Malaysia. It was the highest contributor with a gross output of RM9,058 million in 2017 from a total of RM73,853.6 million in the agriculture sector b. In summary, a total of 12.26% from the total livestock economy in 2015! A huge pie Sentinel Chain should consider look into
