A brand new Dutch blockchain initiative, Planq, has big ambitions. With a mission to promote financial inclusion around the world, the company has made a lot of money. But through its own ecosystem designed specifically for mobile users, the company hopes to bring about real change in the world.
It's no longer just for a small group of people to get started with crypto and enjoy financial inclusivity, according to the Planq team.
The vision and innovation behind Planq
Planq’s vision is to create a global community empowered by its own mobile-first multi-network cryptocurrency platform. Planq strives to make financial freedom accessible and transparent for everyone, even those without computers.
Notably, Planq is the first crypto project to focus solely on usability on mobile platforms. So far, the focus has always been on desktop users. In doing so, Planq is taking a unique approach and is reaching many more people around the world.
The platform is also “OS agnostic,” meaning any mobile device can run Web3 applications regardless of the operating system. This is crucial in a world where more than half of the population does not have access to desktop or laptop computers, but more than 80% have access to a mobile phone, be it Android, iOS or another operating system.
Technological basis: The Planq blockchain
Planq Coin (PLQ) is the native coin of the Planq blockchain, based on the Cosmos SDK and using the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) for smart contracts written in Solidity. It uses the Proof-of-Stake (PoS) consensus mechanism realized using Tendermint technology. A key element of the Planq solution is the Cosmos SDK, which supports modular blockchain extensions, allowing easy expansion of the chain's functionality.
So with Planq, participants can build solutions – on their mobile phones – that improve the way users connect with each other. In doing so, Planq effectively expands the breadth and depth of crypto, giving more users a seat at the development table.
Currently it is possible to buy PLQ on BingX and the decentralized exchange Osmosis, but in the future this list will certainly be expanded to include large and well-known exchanges.
The way forward: Planq's roadmap
Planq recently shared an ambitious roadmap on Twitter. This puts Planq's ambitious plans into a concrete timeline and gives you a good overview of the future plans for the Dutch project.
