We’re beyond thrilled to finally announce the RIDE token to the world. RIDE will be offered for public sale at the end of November.

The RIDE Token Sale

Following the successful completion of our private sale, the holoride team has worked tirelessly on the preparation of our public sale and token generation event. We are proud to announce the RIDE public sale, which will take place on the Maiar Launchpad on the 26th of November at 2 p.m. UTC.

About the RIDE token

RIDE is the utility token of the holoride platform that sits at the heart of its NFT-powered content ecosystem, built on the Elrond Network. RIDE is designed to provide incentives for using holoride by providing additional benefits and enhanced user engagement.

“The RIDE token will be essential for building a vibrant and sustainable economy for the holoride ecosystem, connecting car manufacturers, content creators, brands, and passengers, and enabling them to capture value along the way.”
said Nils Wollny, CEO & co-founder of holoride.

To achieve this ambitious vision, the RIDE token and the content economy will be implemented using the Elrond blockchain. Elrond is a technology ecosystem for the new internet. Its foundational layer is the Elrond internet-scale blockchain, a smart contracts execution platform ready to be integrated into any enterprise technology stack.
