Looking back through history, the wheel is essentially the cornerstone of modern civilization. It brought us transportation, and transportation afforded us the systematic transfer of goods. From farm to market, and from market to table, the movement of products in bulk has been the single most important adaptation of the last 10,000 years.

The freight and logistics is the cornerstone of the global economy, and is 10% of the United States GDP. It is arguably the largest industry on the planet.

Over time, however, the industry has become fragmented (none of the systems communicate with each other), over $50 billion a year is chalked up to theft alone (just in the U.S.,) brokers charge outrageous markups and there’s no go-to industry platform that actually does its job with full transparency. ShipChain is about to change all that. You can read more about how ShipChain is improving the freight and logistics industry in the whitepaper.

AIRDROP

Following the success of our token sale for the ongoing development of our platform (currently in beta release and full launch soon with Perdue Farms), starting today January 14th at https://www.shipchain.io we will begin the process of signups for our Telegram community airdrop.

OVERVIEW

The signup process will last for approximately two weeks.

We plan for the distribution of airdrop tokens around the same time as the release of the rest of the tokens.

We will be airdropping a total of 1,250,000 SHIP tokens divided evenly to our Telegram community members as a thank you. This figure is a good-faith estimate, subject to change, and we cannot guarantee any amount of tokens to any participants.

Community airdrop is open for ALL members of our Telegram community to participate.

ELIGIBILITY

To be eligible:

You have to be an active member of our Telegram group. An “active member” means anyone that is a member of our Telegram community before the airdrop signup process is complete, which is two weeks from the Jan 15th start date. Pass KYC/AML. (Know Your Customer/Anti-Money Laundering) This is a simple form we will have you fill out, it will be emailed to you within 1-3 weeks of completing this registration.

The airdropped tokens will be released when the public token distribution occurs from the presale—We are scheduled for early March 2018; we make no guarantees about token release date, we will try to release earlier if possible, and we will delay until later if necessary.
