Singapore homegrown mobile payment app company SpherePay officially opened its Initial Coin Offering (ICO) or also known as Initial Token Sale. Earlier this month, SpherePay announced that it will launch a total of 10 Billion SAY token, of which, 40 percent will be distributed for sale via ICO.
According to their spokesperson, on the day of the announcement of its introduction of SAY, the official token for SpherePay' s cryptocurrency, the company has already received many inquiries from interested buyers from all over the world, from Japan to the United States and many more parts of the globe.
"During our pre-sale period, we received many inquiries and show of interest through our Telegram Community Group, Facebook Messages and Emails. We are responding to all inquiries as fast as possible. We will increase the number of our service team immediately to better respond to all inquiries," said Joseph Chen, CEO of SpherePay.
In recent years, the fintech industry have seen a booming growth in the number of cryptocurrencies launched and ICOs happening. SpherePay aims to be in a different ballgame altogether. Their company mission is to revolutionize the entire global peer-to-peer trading ecosystem by being the first in the world to link virtual currency assets to real life via a decentralized sharing economy. This meant that SpherePay's users can utilise their cryptocurrency SAY and others to make actual purchases via the mobile app.
He added: "One of objective of us introducing SAY is to solve a problem which has been around for quite some time, it is to transact cryptocurrency in real life. By having SAY on our mobile wallet app SpherePay, we allow users to use our SAY cryptocurrency and other cryptocurrencies to purchase any item in real life via our app. We will soon share with the public how this can be done, via our app. We plan a full "up and running" completion of this integration project by beginning of March, so its not that long from now. Public however can get the SAY token starting from today."
Interested buyers and investors can purchase SAY via exchanging Ethereum (ETH) tokens to SAY tokens on cryptocurrency digital wallet such as MyEtherWallet, ImToken or other wallets which are ERC20 compatible. Buyers and investors are advised not to use any other exchanges to transfer the ETH, only transfers via the digital wallets will be accepted.
The current exchange rate of ETH to SAY is 1 ETH to 80,000 SAY and minimum contribution is 0.5 ETH with no personal cap. 50 percent of SAY purchased in this ICO will have a lock in period until 5th April 2018. The SoftCap for this ICO will be 2 billion SAY and the ICO will end once it reaches their HardCap.
