Dune, the movie, released in 1984

In the classic science fiction book (and the movie) Dune, the drug Melange, also known as “The SPiCE” is the most essential and valuable commodity in the universe. It is a drug that gives the user a longer life span, greater vitality, and heightened awareness. In addition, it can unlock prescience in some humans, depending upon the dosage and the consumer’s physiology.

This prescience enhancing property makes safe and accurate interstellar travel possible. And SPiCE formed a fundamental block of commerce and technological development in the known universe for millennia.

This is why we are called SPiCE. Management of the SPiCE mining operations was considered a prestigious but difficult task. Drawing a parallel with Dune’s SPiCE, we think that SPiCE Token will unlock prescience into the world of VC and startup investments and will make VC investments one of the most exciting investment opportunities for both crypto and traditional investors.

Oh, and it makes your eyes blue.

The SPiCE token ICO is scheduled for late November 2017.
