Eco wants to create a verified network of universities to help build an evenly distributed and cooperative financial infrastructure. The focus is an easy to use platform that is energy efficient. Eco will be a global currency not controlled by any single individual, organization, or nation. The mission is to distribute the majority of the economic value generated by the Eco platform and to create a more equitable distribution of resources.

The white paper talks about three ‘core’ issues related to cryptocurrency and the project aims to improve and incorporate the following:

  1. forming a verified network, where universities run nodes.
  2. increasing overall token supply, and creating simple web and mobile apps.
  3. designing a system with more energy-efficient and coordinated token generation, to reduce overall power consumption.

  • Eco will not be controlled by any one individual, organization, or nation. University partners will play a key role in the development and helping to guide development of the Eco protocol. Source

  • No ICO which means no money will be raised for the project. This means any potential legal issues that are currently running rampant in the ICO market can be further avoided.

  • ECO will issue 1,000,000,000,000 (1 Trillion) tokens of which 50% will be given away. 20% will go to the universities running trusted nodes, 10% will go to advisors, 10% will go to strategic partners, and 10% will go to a newly formed Eco Foundation.

  • ECO wants to offer pre-mined coins to push the industry in a more “Green” direction and leave less of a carbon footprint than coins currently on the market such as BTC.

  • ECO plans to have a fully operational test net running by early 2019.

The project was just announced March 2018, so we’ll see what really happens. The big take away is not a means-of-exchange, speculation-driven, not eco-sustainable and most importantly not equality-minded.
