I have 2 questions:
Why is the platform built on blockchain?
When will the platform be launched and what happens in the ecosystem until then?
Hi BITpashaCOIN, lets see
Why blockchain?Blockchain technology provides for rapid expansion of the ecosystem owing to the participation of a large number of interested token holders from all over the world and the filling of the platform with incredible content. The intra-system arcona token allows all members of the ecosystem to buy and rent digital land, launch their own projects and showcase the results of their creative work on that digital land. Furthermore, the transparency of blockchain technology, in particular, and smart contracts provide extra guarantee of property rights for landowners on the Arcona platform, copyright protection for developers and artists, and also makes all transactions within the system more reliable and transparent. The system is peer-to-peer and decentralised.
When will the platform be launched ?The full-featured platform will be launched in the first quarter of 2019. A layer of digital land with a total area of 1,500 km2 will cover the territory of the 10 largest megapolises in the world. This will be the Gothic Quarter of Barcelona, City of London, the Historic Centre of Mexico, Soho in New York, the 1st arrondissement of Paris, the Forbidden City in Beijing, the area around the Hermitage in St Petersburg, the ancient centre of Rome, Sultanahmet in Istanbul and the Asakusa district of Tokyo.
Various subsystems will be launched in phases until then. A marketplace where virtual content can be bought and sold will open early 2018. Land auctions will be held on that marketplace. Tasks for independent developers and artists will be offered at the marketplace. AR Viewer testing and the introduction of platform partnership programs will commence thereafter.
The AR GRID prototype and the remote positioning tool testing program will be launched mid 2018. The beta version of the AR Viewer with basic features will be launched at the end of the year. Information content will also be placed in test locations and the first platform users will be able to assess it.
The Arcona augmented reality global network, covering up to 40,000 km2, will be created in 2020.
