Zinc + Bancor

Zinc today announces a major integration with the continuous liquidity provider Bancor. Zinc is a decentralised hiring network using blockchain technology to enable workers to own their career data and earn ZINC tokens for interacting with employers and recruiters. By integrating with the Bancor Protocol, ZINC token holders will gain access to continuous liquidity regardless of trade volume or exchange listings.

ZINC holders will be able to convert their ZINC into any of the currently integrated tokens on the Bancor Network including ETH, BNT (the Bancor Network Token), GNO, STX and a long list of integrated tokens.

Zinc will activate a Relay Token within the week following the distribution of the ZINC tokens after a successful completion of the Token Sale. Users will be able to purchase and sell ZINC tokens directly from any Web3 wallet, such as MetaMask, at a formulaically calculated price.

“We anticipate a huge demand for the ZINC token and so it absolutely makes sense for us to provide our users with an easy way to convert their tokens,” said Luke Shipley, CEO of Zinc. “Bancor will provide a level of liquidity that will enable all workers to become a part of the Zinc network as we build our platform and revolutionize the recruitment industry.” ZINC will be activating a Relay Token a week after the conclusion of the token sale and funding $100,000 BNT and $100,000 ZINC.
