The BOLT Team
We’re entering an exciting time at BOLT, with news and announcements our community has been waiting for. As we release our many updates over the next few weeks, we will share some timely reminders about what we’ve been building at BOLT and why! Here’s #1 in our #BUIDLBOLT series!
BOLT is driven by mobile transactions centered around everyday content, high velocity global sporting moments, and content producers creating micro economies within the BOLT ecosystem — which leads us to envision ourselves as a global mobile wallet, powered by content.
We utilise Zilliqa, the only true scalable, decentralised blockchain and smart contracts platform, to support the high volume and velocity of our transactions. #BUIDLBOLT #WHYBOLT
