BizShake, a P2P sharing and tokenization ecosystem on the NEO blockchain, has announced its security token offering, revealing its BZS tokens that will be made available to the public. Bizshake’s private sale will begin on the 1st of October, and its public sale will begin on the 15th of October.
BizShake tokens will be classified as securities. Token holders will be entitled to vote for the business strategies proposed by BizShake, and elect one representative to become a member of the board of directors. BizShake is also preparing to apply for a US SEC Reg A+ rating to be compliant with ICO regulations and the submission will be filed within the next 2 to 3 weeks. An alpha version of the Bizshake platform is due to be released before the token generation event in October.
BizShake is a US startup that was formed from a team of retail, e-commerce and technology companies, and was formed with the vision that the P2P sharing economy will benefit our society as a whole. The company has offices in Hong Kong, New York, and Shanghai.
BizShake is developing a “P2P sharing ecosystem” on NEO that will let users monetize their assets through renting and selling them to other users. Assets can include anything that someone would like to share with others, like appliances, luxury goods, apartments, vehicles and more.
BizShake will use blockchain technology to regulate P2P transactions in a decentralized way, so that users can benefit from a greatly reduced cost and fees. The cost savings will come through the platform’s ability to tokenize high value assets on the platform, the transparency of user profile through digital identity management, and the security provided by an automated dispute system that is under peer control.
