Gunthy - Coin of the Month
- The third Coin of the Month is Gunthy
Dear Txbit users,
Once per month, we pick a project to inform our customers about the projects we list on our exchange. The third Coin of the Month is Gunthy.
Can you tell more about GUNTHY and how the idea came about?
Gunthy is a utility token that is used to license a variety of software from Gunthy products, using blockchain technology. Gunbot came into existence in 2016, but the idea to license our software using Gunthy token came in late 2018 for a few different reasons:
- Decentralized licensing and API key management - we use the ETH blockchain to verify a user's license instead of the more common centralized server or serial keys. This is so the software can be run on different machines at same time, but only by the single authorized user who owns that specific license.
- Monetary value - Gunbot licensing has just one single billing plan - the one-time payment provides you with a lifetime license. Our software is unique. Customers buy our products via an authorized reseller and then registers his Gunthy wallet. The customer will then receive a specific amount of Gunthy tokens in his ETH wallet, depending on a specific product or license type purchased.
License upgrades - it's now easier than ever to upgrade Gunbot software to a higher tier license or unlock advanced trading strategies. All one needs to do is acquire additional Gunthy tokens from one of several different exchanges and deposit them into your ETH wallet. The software will then check the current token balance that you hold in your registered wallet and unlock different features and license tiers, based on amount of Gunthy tokens you hold in that wallet.
Can you provide some details about the economics behind GUNTHY? What is the current supply? Is there a form of inflation?
There are 400M tokens created. When Gunthy token was launched, all existing customers who bought one of Gunthy products from 2016 to that day received a token airdrop to their wallets, the quantity necessary to run their specific software. Early adopters who were actively running Gunbot during late 2018 and early 2019 received an additional airdrop as reward for testing and a new licensing system.
After successfully implementing the new software licensing system, future tokens are then released into circulation in few ways:
- Buying Gunthy software products
- Participating in Trading tournaments on partner exchanges
- Doing various tasks in community, for example testing new strategies and features, bug hunting etc…
Gunthy token was not ICO. It's not a security, it's not a high volume or speculative asset. It's a utility token that unlocks a wide variety of features, strategies and addons, depending on the amount of tokens a user holds.
What can you do with the GUNTHY token?
- As a utility token, Gunthy is primarily used to license software, our software.
- Unlocking additional exchanges and strategies are just one of benefits holding Gunthy tokens.
- There is also a community marketplace where Gunthy token can be used as a payment method. Other Gunbot users share strategies for free or even sell their own trading strategies.
