First successful beta test

In early 2022 they launched the first successful beta test of the nuco.cloud pro version. According to their roadmap, all three products are going to go live in Q2/2022, and listings on major Exchanges are immediately ahead.

The nuco.cloud platform allows you to monetize the unused computing power of your smartphone, computer, or server through our easy and simple to use nuco.client app. Miners providing compute capacity will be paid in our TELOS-based token NUCO directly after the soon to be launched nuco.cloud. This can be converted into NCDT (ERC20) which is already listed at crypto exchanges via a bridge from PTOKENS and then sold at crypto exchanges. To obtain computing power, the customer takes the opposite route..

Nuco.cloud based on BOINC (Berkeley Open Infrastructure for Network Computing), originally created by a team based at Space Science Laboratory in 2002 to support scientific research in need for large computing calculations.

In this article, we describe nuco.cloud staking and why it is so valuable for both projects.

Staking nuco.cloud Through Ferrum’s Flexible DeFi Staking Platform

With the emergence of DeFi and the appeal of passive income, staking has taken on a relevance like never before. Unfortunately, staking has mostly been reserved for big-cap projects with main net, leaving hundreds of exciting new projects — like nuco.cloud — with not enough flexible option to offer staking for their own token.

This gap in the market is why we built our flexible DeFi Staking Platform for any ERC-20 token. Participants lock their tokens and earn high yields based on the length of time staked. It’s like a decentralized high-yield bank account, with maximum customization for projects and flexibility for participants!

Projects like nuco.cloud Can Customize Their Staking to Fit Their Needs

Each project and community has different token metrics, unlocking schedules, and community concerns. This is why we built our DeFi Staking Platform to be fully customizable.

Nuco.cloud can choose a staking structure that works for them by deciding on the number of staking pools, the amount of tokens to be staked, the rewards for each pool, the timing for early withdrawal, and much more. We can’t wait to see what nuco.cloud has in store for its staking structure.

Buybacks from Ferrum Network

To share the success with our community and add additional token utility, Ferrum conducts a buyback for every product sold to reduce the total supply of tokens in circulation, ensuring both $FRM and $FRMx continue to be deflationary🔥 Below are 3 of the primary drivers to the Ferrum Buyback Program:👇.

⭐️ Ferrum Token Bridge — Portion of the generated fee revenue is used for Buybacks
⭐️ Ferrum Staking as a Service — Portion of the revenue for each staking pool
⭐️ Ferrum Advisor Services Incubator — Portion of the profits generated through the FAS Incubator
