• In a new use case, Ekta is bridging physical assets with the digital world on its cross-chain mainnet

Believing that blockchain has the power to disrupt the prevalent systems but cannot exist without those systems, Ekta aims to bridge the physical assets and communities with the digital world of cryptocurrencies. 

Not only a blockchain project, Ekta also focuses on sustainability. Ekta is looking to develop natural capital conservation, cleantech, wise tech, ocean startups, alternative medicines, permaculture, and aquaponics.

Raising over $5m in seed funding and private sales, the vision and goal of Ekta has caught the attention of many investors. So, how has EKTA performed in the market since its launch?

Recent Developments

On January 11, Ekta announced its cross-chain mainnet on the back of a $5m funding round from funding and private sales. EktaChain is primarily for its partners to test and develop for this initial period. 

Following its mainnet launch, Ekta has announced the release of a new website, migrating from ektaworld.io to ekta.io. 

Ekta also launched the Ektascan to give users validation of real-time blocks. There are currently 22,300 Ekta blocks, with the network having an average block time of 15 seconds.

Despite just launching, approximately 62% of the 33,000,000 EKTA in circulation are currently staked in different pools.

At the moment, the public cannot access Ekta. However, Ekta has announced that the public will be able to access functions when the EktaBridge and EktaHybex launch.

Future Events

According to Ekta, its EktaBridge (to give users access to transfer tokens and/or arbitrary data from one chain to another) and Ekta Hybex (hybrid exchange) are expected to launch in the coming weeks. 

As a new project, Ekta has announced that the platform would support the creation of non-fungible tokens (NFTs) in the future. On January 12, Ekta announced the incoming launch of its NFT Whitelist. 

Through the Ekta NFT marketplace, Ekta will provide a novel way for NFT creators and the owners of physical assets represented as NFTs to connect with consumers. In addition, Ekta will be releasing a MetaTrees NFT collection in Q1.

Ekta has announced for the future, it will also provide decentralized financial services through a decentralized exchange (DEX) and lending and borrowing features. However, unlike conventional decentralized financial services, Ekta has revealed that collateral will not be a requirement.

Price Updates

Ekta (EKTA), the native token of the Ekta ecosystem, currently trades at $0.3702, following an 8% drop over the last 24 hours. Ekta’s $4.5 million market cap places it as the 5,623rd largest cryptocurrency.

On the Flipside

• Ekta’s launch into the already established NFT and DeFi markets means the project will need to compete against already established projects in the sector
