Cyrus Token (CYRS)

Used in every transaction within the system as well as by providers when they acquire a telescope quota. Cyrus Token (CYRS) is the key element of the system and provides the opportunity to perform in-system transactions. CYRS is designed to allow greater system flexibility in real time as well as provide grounds for future growth and development of the system. All CYRS tokens will be issued during the ICO. A CYRS token may be divided up to 0.00000001 CYRS.

Use Cases

CYRS may be purchased, exchanged, sold, leased or rent out. A token holder can register in the system as a provider. The provider can become a participant in the system by holding an amount of 10000 CYRS per telescope. The provider is payed in CYRS for participating in Telescopia and meeting technical requirements. The provider as well as any other CYRS token holder is eligible to fully dispose of the tokens.

Any Telescopia user may lease his tokens or rent them out to other Telescopia users. If a CYRS token is leased, the lessee acquires the right to use the token like users and providers do. The lease is ensured by the smart contract. Lease price is based on market conditions.

Token Price Support

The CYRS token price is backed by the profitability of services rendered by the provider and Telescopia for the telescopes registered for 10000 CYRS, as well as by CYRS token turnover. When the smart contract registers new telescope quota for existing or new providers, that exceeds the maximum telescope limit while the system minimum utilization is above 70% (meaning that there are big inflow of users on the system), the CYRS quota for telescope will begin to decrease. The purpose of lowering the quota is to encourage new providers thus ensuring there are telescopes always available to the users. Therefore as the usage of Telescopia grows, CYRS will be backed by more real assets (telescopes).

Token Sale and Leasing

The Telescopia smart contract will be based on the ERC20 standard. Many exchange markets also allow their users to lease tokens under flexible conditions. Thus CYRS tokens will be traded and leased on many exchange markets.

CYRS token leasing is a very important financial instrument for the Telescopia economic model. Free circulation of CYRS tokens on exchanges can lead to a sharp increase in the price of the token. This presents obstacles in purchasing CYRS tokens, consequently hindering the development of the service. Leasing remains financially attractive even if the prices on the market are high. The token holder rents them out and thus becomes closer to the break-even point. This scheme is profitable and transparent for both the token holder and the lessee.
