Monolith Studio’s TokenCard closed its token launch Tuesday, May 2, 2017, after exceeding its crowdsale goal in mere minutes. TokenCard is the first debit card powered by smart contracts incorporating the VISA payments network with Ethereum. It immediately gained attention in the Ethereum community after its announcement and quickly reached and surpassed contribution goals for this one-of-a-kind project. For the first time, token holders will be able to use Ether as well as other ERC20 tokens to purchase items anywhere that accepts VISA debit cards.
TokenCard’s successful token creation event on May 2nd also marked the release of a new ERC20 token called TKN. In another first, the May 2 crowdsale was funded by not only Ether, but also a variety of other ERC20 tokens. As added reward, Monolith partnerships with Digix Global, SingularDTV and Swarm City allowed their token holders to receive a 5% bonus on all contributions made in DGD, SINGLS and SWT.
“We’re very happy with the success of the TokenCard launch and excited to bring the power of the Ethereum economy to the general public,” said Mel Gelderman. “The fantastic TokenCard technology was delivered by New Alchemy, and we appreciate the support of other projects in our industry.”
