Power aims to create appplied solutions and instruments for business development in the new digital age. For this purpose, Power develops Smart Blockchain Environment that includes 3 main elements: 1) Power Wallet - multifunctional app for getting access to the power network 2) Power Store - marketplace for distributing content 3) Power Hub - platform for communication and development of customized tools According to the official telegram chat, the working blockchain was launched on the 12th of April 2018. However, it is not possible to publicly test the MVP. The blockchain with customizable subchains has already been developed. The development of smart contracts, blockchain infrastructure services, and API's documentation is still in progress.
The economy of the system consists of two main elements: the basic layer and the customizable layer. The basic layer of Power aims to meet two criteria: 1) minimum volatility 2) competitive cost of services. To ensure minimum volatility, XDR-based (SDR) tariffs are introduced. SDRs were created by the IMF in 1969 as an additional international reserve asset. IMF daily publishes the ratio of the XDR index to the world's 20 major currencies. The customizable layer is built based on the main layer. Using smart contracts, the services economy offers an endless variety of customization tools. The owners of the projects can develop the rules by which their projects will function. On the Power platform, customers can create their own payment systems, tokens, loyalty programs and many more. In this case, payment methods for Services in the projects may also vary. The service fee can be measured in percentage terms, can be fixed, or may consist of any combination. The commission can also be equal to zero, and can be paid at the expense of the seller. Moreover, "reverse commissions" are possible - material encouragement of the users. All standardized product solutions are available in Power Store in the form of templates. Any project that uses the Power environment can create its own unique economy.
