In the News
E-commerce on the Blockchain: Our Vision of the Revolution
Though e-commerce innovations during the past half century have opened unimaginable new horizons for the world, the overshadowing business of today’s giants has left many smaller players in the dark about how the system works against them. CoinPick.com has an analysis, including CyberMiles’ role in eliminating this problem.
Continuing to Explore the CyberMiles Ecosystem
#ICYMI: Many developing countries lack sophisticated financial infrastructure, making easy access to capital unavailable to those who rely mainly on a cash or barter-based system for everyday transactions. This opens up interesting — and potentially lucrative — opportunities for e-commerce.

In our ongoing #CVM mini-series, we break down how extensible, performative, and safe Lity is (and more). Check out the latest:
