Velas and IQONIQ FanEcosystems announce partnership set to deliver greater blockchain, promotion, and NFT collaborations
Tallinn, 5th May 2021 — IQONIQ FanEcosystems, the business behind the hotly anticipated and recently released IQQ Tokens, and Velas, global leaders in blockchain ecosystem services have today announced a multi-year strategic partnership set to ignite a raft of technological improvements and mutual opportunities.
The new partnership aims to boost the development and collaboration of both projects, allowing for more technical innovation across multiple fields, spanning core product development to exploratory issues such as NFTs, cross promotion, and dual development.
It is through utilising Velas’ blockchain technology and vast industry expertise with IQONIQ FanEcosystem’s current offerings that makes this such a tantalising and truly powerful collaboration for all involved.
The potential of the partnership starts with the newly listed IQQ’s, which recently launched on Bittrex Global, Bitcoin.com, and Changelly. It’s prospective future rests with two key factors. Firstly, the seemingly endless array of ways this new utility token will be used by its holders when the IQONIQ Group’s new app launches later in the year. An app which is set to revolutionise fan engagement in sports and entertainment and which already boasts over 120 global sports property partners across F1, Formula E, football, rugby, cricket, ice hockey, drone racing, and many more. Secondly, how both the app and token businesses are ensuring blockchain as a fundamental lever in guiding the future of fan engagement. Now with Velas’ assistance, the sky’s the limit.
As well as providing a blockchain which is set to deliver even faster transactions at scale, the partnership also sees Velas investing in both IQONIQ FanEcosystem equity, and in purchasing a pre-agreed amount of IQQ tokens. Velas will also provide IQONIQ FanEcosystem’s a grant for development and integration, along with further research and development.
Furthermore, the collaboration of both tech teams will begin, helping to develop products and the wider ecosystem in general, explore cross promotions and marketing campaigns, NFT collaboration, and establish secure account integration.
Speaking of the joint partnership, Kazim Atilla, CEO of IQONIQ FanEcosystem, said: “We are genuinely excited to partner up with Velas Network, as we have finally found a blockchain, capable of executing high speed transactions at scale.
“This functionality is crucial for the IQONIQ App development also, as we currently have 120+ teams, brands and idols, with additional 100+ entities coming on board this year. All of their fans and the rest of our community will use Velas chain to transact within our app seamlessly.
“The chain also has NFT issuance capabilities, an ERC20 bridge and already offers staking to VLX holders — all features which we are delighted to work on together with the Velas Network team.
“IQONIQ is constantly looking to alliance and partner with great companies, great technologies and great businesses, while keeping our eyes open to additional collaborations with more chains which are interested in IQONIQ. ”
Alex Alexandrov, founder of Velas, said: “Velas are excited to have IQONIQ join us on this journey and leverage the full potential of the Velas blockchain to deliver the best in technological development and innovation.
“The Velas blockchain is the fastest-in-class, capable of near limitless throughput, and all with world-leading development behind it. It’s no wonder why projects are turning to Velas for the best chance of success.”
The partnership is not exclusive, and both parties are keen to always look to collaborate further, to advance the solutions for fans, token holders, clients, teams, brands and idols alike. One partnership both parties are keen to explore is around the exciting world of NFTs, with the hope of announcing developments soon.
