Blockchain Video Sharing Platform Set to Launch New VIU Token Smart Contact Address: November 1st
October 13th, 2018 at 4:20 pm UTC · 3 min read
Blockchain video sharing platform Viuly has announced that it will be changing the smart contract address for the VIU token, to give the community a more realistic picture of the number of tokens in circulation and eliminate any remaining dead tokens from circulation.
Blockchain video sharing platform Viuly is well known for passing on an ICO to offer their community one of the largest ever recorded Ethereum blockchain airdrops, back in December 2017. The distribution took place in December 2017, during which 500,000,000 VIU tokens were airdropped to over 900,000 Ethereum wallets.
The Airdrop was part of Viuly’s marketing campaign, which attracted a large number of new users, who successfully on-boarded on Viuly, whilst raising the VIU token to first position among other ETH20 tokens in terms of operations count.
Despite the success of the airdrop, a large part of distributed tokens was never used by inactive wallet owners, (due to lost private keys and other factors) and maybe never be retrieved. As a result, VIU token statistics, are inconsistent at best. This both gives out the wrong impression to prospective new interests, traders, exchanges and the crypto community.
New Viuly Smart Contract Address Coming November 1st, 2018
Due to these various issues, Viuly has decided to change the smart contract address for the VIU token. The change will reveal realistic statistics information of VIU token and most importantly, eliminates dead tokens from circulation.
All VIU token holders can exchange their tokens to a new token via a page called SWAP on Viuly.io.
The new token will keep the same name and same functions as the original VIU token. Existing VIU token will be canceled on the 1st November 2018.
Viuly is confident that this change will be very beneficial for the market as a whole, and urge all token holders to exchange their tokens before the deadline. Further instructions can be found on the official site
