JANUS - A STOCK TOKEN?

Firstly, what is Janus? A project by veteran blockchain ethusiasts who have 50 years of combined industry experience to create a blockchain based profit sharing plan. The Janus project is about creating platforms which target carefully selected markets and leverage the social fabric of the internet to attract audiences and capture market share, resulting in a business which can deliver substantial profits to it's investors. Their recent business involvement was to launch a bitcoin iGaming site (BetterBets.io), their first entry in the blockchain business sector has managed over 42 million USD in volume within 17 months. It might not be a new idea nor new technology, but it could be a new way on creating a token where the blockchain is treated as a technology for paying dividen, not only for trading purpose. It should not only be a "technology for technology". Visit the site https://janustoken.com/.

The token will run on NXT platform and will also migrate to ARDOR once its launched. I might not be the biggest fan of NXT but they have a good wallet which i really like to use (currently thinking on investing more on this ARDOR), check this :

There should be no worry about an adding to exchanger as their in-wallet exchange works quite well, the team also noted that the dividen's disribution could be done in a single click and transparent, and with the security of Smart Transactions, we can have a peace of mind that the business operations on the child chain will be secure.

THE ESCROW

The escrow of this project will be the NXT Foundation, you can see the details here and the supporting statement from one of nxt foundation's member here.

STRATEGIC PROJECT

The strategic projects of Janus would be :

From all of the ideas, they stated on recent interview that social fintech would be the project that they will be excited about to work on. You can read the full interview here. And they also stated that for some projects (such as real-estate and eCommerce) they already have functional modules to which they own the copyright and which are currently implemented on live customer sites. It would be interesing to see how this project will progress as there are still many days to go, the token sale will run till December 31st 2016 or until the target amount of 7000 BTC is reached.
