ILLUMINATES - A Multifunctional Decentralized Ecosystem That Unites Cutting-edge Crypto Technologies and Blockchain-based Services Created for People

STARTER INFORMATION
With strict capital controls in place by most countries to control the flow of money and charge high taxes, cryptocurrency gained usage in circumventing capital controls and taxes, leading to an increase in demand. Cryptocurrency has been able to present an easy to use digital alternative to fiat currencies. Offering frictionless transactions and inflation control, investors have been prudent enough to add these currencies in their diversified portfolios as an asset, as the size of the market does not represent a systemic risk. Cryptocurrency employs the use of cryptography that assures high-security processes and verifies transactions personal to each user. Hence, counterfeiting and anonymous transactions are impossible to achieve.
While this revolution is gaining wide acceptance, Illuminates, thе fіrѕt social ecosystem thаt wіll аllоw tо mаkе аvаіlаblе аll thе advantages оf blockchain technology, qualitatively changing thе conditions оf interaction bеtwееn investors, freelancers аnd startups has arrived.
“Blockchain, the technology that has supported the much-hyped bitcoin ecosystem, has piqued the interest of the financial sector. The industry that witnesses millions of transactions worth trillions of dollars every day is now beginning to experiment with blockchain to see how the ‘decentralized ledger of all transactions across the network’ concept can be leveraged to transform the global financial system.
Blockchain is billed as a tamper-proof technology that can run simultaneously on millions of devices across a network, making it failure-tolerant as well. The technology uses ‘smart contracts’ to automate the recording and execution of transactions, with the potential to drive down processing costs significantly.”
With that being said, the project Illuminates is developing a first social ecosystem that is making all blockchain advantages available. It will advance interaction between investors, freelancers, and startups. The best solutions and instruments will be gathered within one platform to help professional development and implementation of the most revolutionary ideas.

Now that I have your attention, let’s get right to it.
What exactly is ILLUMINATES?
As depicted above and as indicated on the official website of ILLUMINATES, Illuminates is developing a first social ecosystem that is making all blockchain advantages available. It will advance interaction between investors, freelancers, and startups. The best solutions and instruments will be gathered within one platform to help professional development and implementation of the most revolutionary ideas.
In addition, “Illuminates project offers a complete rethink of this issue by using main advantages of blockchain technology (transparency, decentralized structure, and security) only if it is reasonable in terms of economics and logic. We are going to use our approach to change the current situation and enable investors to use their resources fast, effective and safe, as well as provide them with the opportunity not to spend additional time and money on surplus technological solutions that will never help implement a particular project.”
Every day we deal with the most up-to-date market problems so our team has clearly determined the fact that the industry needs a holistic solution. A transparent and free of fraud decentralized ecosystem is required to establish effective interaction between potential startup participants and to increase the number of revolutionary blockchain-based business ideas.
All ICO participants are interested in mutually beneficial cooperation within the ecosystem. That allows them to introduce their projects, collect funding, exchange information, learn new things online and offline, attend business conferences, hire employees and offer their freelance services on the platform.
There are currently hardly a few working multi-functional technical solutions on the cryptocurrency market. Solutions that provide tools to verify all potential crowdfunding participants right from the start and ensure transparent access to projects and tasks and further accrual of tokens that can be spent to book online courses, order development, and promotion services, attend specialized conferences on the platform or purchase physical goods.
In this case, verification is the only way to filter out possible fraud, to check, review and evaluate real professional background and the history of the activities of a particular investor, adviser, startup owner or freelancer to improve mutual trust, effective ICO investing and successful implementation of projects.
Today there are too many startups offering a blockchain-based solution and sometimes it is simply not reasonable to implement blockchain technology in a particular business addressed by a startup. As the result, we have a number of mainstream projects without any benefits.
