Kora,The Infrastructure for Inclusive Financial Systems.

in #ico • 7 years ago

Kora is a popular musical instrument in the Western/Eastern region of Africa frequently played in songs of celebration,or to pass a message of hope.Kora is also a project of hope for billions of people who are under served by the current financial system.

Kora Team believe existing platforms fail to address users’ lack of access to electricity, the Internet,or capital to afford a smartphone as well as lack of under standing around technology and finance and expected to provide a low-cost, financial services platform for all.

The Kora Team believe that with limited financial literacy, people may be at risk of making poor financial decisions including taking loans with interest rates they may not be able to pay, getting involved in pyramid schemes, or paying unreasonably high charges on remittances or foreign exchange mark-ups.By learning from the past, the Team can build a better future and find the solution for wide-scale,sustainable adoption of a financial services platform.

Kora build wealth by creating self-sustaining, community-owned ecosystems. “Self-sustaining” means the wealth in the community as a whole grows, and “community-owned” means participants in the existing community take on most of the key roles with in the ecosystem and to empower instead of displacing existing communities that already providing adhoc financial services will join the Kora Network as Community Value Networks (CVNs).

The Kora Network aims to simplify operations so that new Providers can provide services without the cost of establishing and running a front-to-back financial institution. Kora will make launching a financial services business as inexpensive and easy as launching a new instance on AWS -- at low cost and with access to all functionality on the Kora Network. Core software will be run on the decentralized stack, and anyone can customize this software. Members will be able to link and exchange financial services to other users on the Kora Network with low costs and near-instantaneous transaction speeds and expact the balance of power to shift, and financial service providers would have to compete for customers,driving down prices for users.

The Kora Network will be built on Ethermint, We chose Ethermint because it supports the Ethereum development community, which is the largest in the blockchain space, while also supporting high volumes of transactions and providing flexibility for more extensive user privacy.By publishing their hardware and network specifications,displaying their digital identity and making the Kora Network compliant with all applicable laws and regulations. Full details of Kora project read here at their Whitepaper https://kora.network/#whitepaper .


The native Kora Network token will be referred to as “Kora Network Token” or “KNT” and will be used as the staking unit for selecting block producers, as well as a single medium to pay for costs incurred by the Kora Network.The token creation and emission process will be organized around the Kora Network public blockchain.The goal of our token sale is to decentralize owner ship of KNT to ensure the crypto-economic stability of the network and to exchange KNT for capital to execute on our vision of unleashing the world's potential for wealth creation and becoming a leader in financial services.
