Bringing Cryptocollectibles as a Service (CaaS) to EOS!

UNICO’s Steemit account has been very quiet lately. In the future we will do our best to establish a regular presence on Steemit. The information below is based on our latest post on Medium

Today we bring to our Steemit supporters a very important piece of news: UNICO will be launched as a dApp on the EOS blockchain!
Our dApp will empower content creators worldwide to turn any quality digital content (art, photography, videos, 3D models, VR scenes, game items) into limited-edition cryptocollectibles and sell them.

More precisely, we will deliver

• A user-friendly CaaS (Cryptocollectibles as a Service) creation engine,
• A decentralized marketplace for people to buy and trade cryptocollectibles related to their favorite Stars, Celebrities, or Emerging Talents.

We believe our dApp can boost cryptocollectibles’ mass adoption. Why? Well, people love to collect. The world goes digital, so cryptocollectibles are hot, but the market lacks a wide choice of valuable, emotion-filled cryptocollectibles.
In order to get lots of cool cryptocollectibles on the market, artists and other content creators need a friendly platform to create them out of their digital content and monetize. This is what UNICO is building.

Our decision to move from the Ethereum to the EOS ecosystem was based both on a technical analysis and on the strong expressions of interest and support for our project that we received from a number of players in the EOS ecosystem. One of them has just joined UNICO’s advisory team.

@syedjafri is head of dApp development for the EOS Cafe Calgary block producer candidate. He has a lot of experience in developing and using cryptocollectible games on the Ethereum network, and this is what he thinks about UNICO on EOS: “The world of ERC 721 and cryptocollectibles has pushed Ethereum to its absolute limits and at times, brought it to a halt. It is a logical decision to build upon EOS, a blockchain that has already shown its ability to handle thousands of transactions per second, allowing for the development of real-time decentralized applications. Harnessing the power of EOS, I am confident that UNICO can build a platform for anyone to create their own tokenized content.”

Next Steps

We look forward to becoming a very active player in the EOS community. On the technical side, we will obviously develop an EOS smart contract providing all the functionalities described above. In the process, we will define and propose to the EOS community a ERC721-equivalent standard for non-fungible tokens. In addition, we will support the development of the Italian EOS community. Here comes a bounty:
If you want to be part of the UNICO development team and help define the EOS equivalent of ERC721, in exchange for UNI tokens, join our Telegram group and let us know!
Clearly our move to EOS calls for a readjustment of our technical road map. We will soon release more details about this. Also, we will soon launch an airdrop and other initiatives to reward those who follow UNICO and support our project.
Join our Telegram group, follow us on Twitter, and you will be among the first to know and grab rewards!

Finally, a surprise

A very well-known figure from the global blockchain community has agreed to partner with UNICO and be featured in a cryptocollectible which will be sold to support a charity.
