Inwage First Client, Moria, Raises $50MM
Inwage has worked with GS Mining Company, LLC and Ethmint LLC to launch the Moria Token. Moria is the world’s first decentralized investment platform for precious metal extraction.
Moria initially looked to raise $30 million through an initial coin offering. In order to achieve this goal, they trusted the technical expertise and blockchain experience of InWage – which not only advised on the ICO, but also helped with platform development, technical services, and security compliance. The partnership was successful, as the ICO raised $50 million, roughly 40% more than the initial estimates and target.
Bitwage Launches Ethereum Inputs
Many companies running ICOs raise funds in Ethereum and Bitcoin, but are unable to obtain bank accounts to pay their workers. As a result, workers of ICO companies are often unable to receive their wages in local currencies. In order to help companies pay workers around the world in the currency of their choice, Bitwage has also decided to launch Ether Inputs.
Companies using Bitwage can now fund payrolls with both Ether and Bitcoin, while employees are then able to choose whatever percentage they want to receive in local and cryptocurrency. Successful ICO companies such as Aragon and Status have already been using the service for months as we soft launched the product back in January.
On the launch and what’s coming next, the team said:
“We have a lot of exciting projects on the horizon. New retirement solutions for US crypto investors; new cryptocurrencies to pay out globally; lightning fast crypto transactions; and new partnerships to help make your Inwage ICOs a great success.”
