Ever since Bitcoin first entered the public view and got established as a tradable asset, speculators rushed to it in hopes of not just make money on this new and exciting opportunity, but to clean up. However, diligent and well-trained digital entrepreneurs are still hesitant to invest on the cryptomarket, let alone a casual user who’s always had a very vague idea (if any) of what digital assets are, and what would a switch from fiat to crypto bring to their family dinner table.

The low adaptability of cryptocurrencies among investors is a layered cake; some difficulties stem from others, causing, in turn, other problems. But price volatility is widely considered touchstone for all issues interconnected in one way or another with the intricacies of cryptomarket.

The causes for cryptocurrencies volatility are quite a few. In the early to mid-2010s the market has been rattled by several chaotic, confusing, and outright fraudulent token issues, which rapidly led to further loss of confidence in few fans crypto had had at the time, essentially equating investing in digital assets to participating in a shadow economy.

Even though many prominent investors like the “two Marks” — Mark Cuban and Marc van der Chijs — have expressed vehement support for the new cryptocurrency-based economy, they were unable to create or find projects, upon which to build their ambitions to disrupt legacy investing methodology. Tokenizing real economy assets was too novel even for the bravest of the brave, legal framework was non-existent, and the general direction for further development was, and, frankly, remains foggy.

Of course, another contributing factor to volatility in digital assets is human nature, but we will leave that one to psychologists. Only they can explain the itch for instant gratification over careful planning…

But, human factor aside, Smartlands Platform is specifically created for addressing envisaged demand from prudent investors and conducting of ICOs for real economy companies who are introducing low-risk future-proof tokens to the market.

Smartlands platform solves the age-old problem of overinflation due to speculation by focusing on creating real value in real economy assets by tokenizing them. Smartlands platform provides investors with independent high quality legal and market analysis, assets audit, and services associated with it. Additionally, its mission is to support legalization of cryptocurrencies for better protection of investors and creation of a legal framework and technical solutions for the real economy.

The primary instrument for implementing the Smartlands mission is the new class of low-risk token backed by high-value assets in the real economy — Asset Based Token (ABT).

The January and February market crashes indicate that Smartlands Platform is a very much needed protocol for the reconciliation of the cryptoinvestors’ needs and the real economy companies’ demand for investments. The idea is to lift the barriers that preclude the investors from including small and medium-sized real economy companies (particularly agricultural), especially in developing countries, in their portfolios. Smartlands Platform introduces the advanced technologies both to earn profits by investors/companies and solve the social cause of small farmers/entrepreneurs in the real economy.

Projecting that outcome on the digital asset market, and given that all cryptocurrencies move together almost simultaneously (especially during the downturns) making it impossible to diversify a portfolio of crypto investments, ABT is a clear solution to the issue. It’s a source of sustainable cash flow, which will not wither during such crashes. Concordantly, ABTs are likely to even increase in price as the safe-haven assets do during crises since everyone will be willing to short risky assets and invest in ABTs, thereby increasing its value.

In conclusion, the Smartlands Platform will solve the persistent problems of tokenizing the real economy sector by implementing maximum transparency and accountability to each and every ABT issue and standardization of tokens to protect the interests of investors while enforcing effective regulation through voting on the Stellar network. We will cooperate with specialized companies that conduct Industry Asset Audits focusing on agricultural assets with maximum transparency by putting hashes of the audit results on the public blockchain.

To have a say in development of Smartlands Platform and take part in setting rules for tokenization, it is possible to purchase SLT now while the SLT price is still close to the token sale price. The supply is very limited with total supply of only about 7.2 million and only 5.1 million tokens are in circulation now that may cause a steep price appreciation in case of significant positive news about the project.
