Announcements
CyberMiles introduces cryptocurrency-only online marketplace, Blocktonic.io
CyberMiles has launched an online marketplace that is among the first e-commerce platforms to support cryptocurrency only. Blocktonic.io, which exclusively accepts the CyberMiles Token (CMT) as a payment method, offers more than 60 products including electronics and the CMT Cube, CyberMiles’ new mining machine.
Initially, every product that consumers can buy on the Blocktonic website is essentially free because payments will be refunded over an extended period of time under a spending cashback program. Under the program, Blocktonic the purchase price in full Blocktonic also will offer a 100 percent rebate within a year to buyers who use CMT to purchase the CMT Cube. Additionally, Blocktonic shoppers can earn referral bonuses when they invite their friends to shop on the marketplace. Learn more at blocktonic.io.

In the News
New partnership: Egretia
CyberMiles has entered into a strategic partnership with Egretia, the world’s first HTML5 blockchain platform. Egretia and CyberMiles will innovate together in the HTML5 blockchain application arena and, with Egretia’s complete HTML5 blockchain development workflow, e-commerce applications based on CyberMiles can be built very quickly.
As seen on: ICONOMI, Rfinex
Our CyberMiles Token (CMT) has been added to the ICONOMI platform! Now available on iconomi.net, CMT can be traded as part of a Digital Asset Array (DAA). The DAAs are combinations of digital assets created for users to simply diversify their investments.
$CMT also will be listed on Rfinex, an exchange using financial level data encryption. Rfinex has plans to release a smartphone app to make crypto trading even easier and more accessible. Follow twitter.com/cybermiles for this and more CyberMiles news.
