Although they have a long roadmap, with almost two years, there in not so much detail on it. Would be nice some more information in terms of dates for the alpha, beta and stable releases. Also there is not business and marketing related dates, like events and other strategies for growth and user acquisition.
Galaxy Pool:
- It’s a “complex” mechanism created to increase the liquidity and stability of the platform
- The pool is a mix of EFX and G-EFX tokens
- G-EFX can be bought on the Galaxy pool but they can’t be sold. They need to be spent using the Effect.AI Service Contract
- This discourage day trading and market manipulation
