Jaxx Becomes the First Multi-Platform Wallet to Offer Augur “REP”

October 6, 2016 By: Mike Dautner

Decentral, creators of the universal blockchain wallet Jaxx, today announced a monumental partnership with the Ethereum-powered prediction market Augur.

Jaxx’s integration with Augur’s currency, REP, will enable users to access the token on seven different platforms, with iOS in the works.

Announced back in early 2015 and spurred by a successful crowdfunding through the sale of its toke, Augur aims to allow users to trade on the outcome of events and for the market to then leverage that crowdsourced information.

REP’s availability on Jaxx will allow users to manage REP in one place, providing ample, convenient and superior access for users to enter predicition markets, both for those posing questions and thousands of other betting on the likelihood of future events.

CEO of Jaxx Anthony Di Iorio explains, “Augur is a genius concept. We are extremely excited to be integrating REP because it’s been surging in growth since it entered beta and is now becoming a hot commodity. Augur has been building decentralized prediction market whereby people can earn cryptocurrency by simply guessing correct on future events, as well as contribute to an innovative forecasting tool and community. We have developed a great friendship with the team at Augur and are looking forward to providing our customer base with the most user-friendly way to manage their REP on computer, device or phone.”

Augur’s Director of Marketing Tony Sakich said, “We are thrilled to be launching our token. It is something we’ve looked forward to since the very first days of the project. REP will be a huge hit on Jaxx; it’s my default wallet and it’s incredibly versatile.”

Sakich added, “Augur incentivizes market participants to reveal what they think will happen, rather than what they hope will happen, and REP will be used to power the predictions and earnings. We are also excited to announce that it will be available for trade against other cryptocurrencies, on Poloniex and Kraken initially, and more exchanges to follow.”
