2Tokens and Dusk Network create TWO token for education platform

Amsterdam, June 16th 2020 - Dusk Network is one of the facilitating partners in the 2Tokens Foundation, initiated to clarify the road to tokenization. In collaboration with international partners, the 2Tokens platform offers educational information and actual use cases. In October 2019 Dusk Network joined the 2Tokens Advisory Board to support the leading ecosystem initiative in the Netherlands. From the beginning, the business team played a key role in the R&D phase of the initiative, which resulted in the launch of three separate 2Tokens projects.

Dusk Network facilitates the technology and infrastructure for the TWO utility token. One of the reasons behind the selection of Dusk Network is because of its privacy-compliant technology. With this example case of tokenization the foundation demonstrates that it is already possible to create meaningful tokens within the current regulatory landscape. 

The realisation of the TWO utility token is a joint effort between CMS, 2Tokens, Dusk Network, Rabobank, WatsonLaw, DataFloq and YesDelft! The token is for sale today onwards. At the DBC 2020 conference, the realization of the token, as well as challenges and opportunities will be discussed by Dusk Networks’ Jelle Pol, Olivier Rikken and Dr. Mark van Rijmenam. For €1 a TWO token can be bought in the webshop and exchanged for 2Tokens services, which are pinned to educational information on tokenization: a 2Tokens membership, webinars, summits and more.

In the run up to this event, 2Tokens Studio Sessions were recorded. In these sessions you can find in-depth conversations about the creation of this utility token and the advantages of tokenization. By showcasing the ease of issuing a token facilitated by the right technology and token framework, the project encourages companies to create their own (utility) tokens. 

Simply said: buying the TWO token will help in funding education on tokenization. The roadmap for 2Tokens’ projects is as follows: 

• After the first token sale, exclusive content for members will be made available

• Tokens can be bought until the 2Tokens Summit in Q4, exact date to be announced depending on COVID-19 developments

• Together with partners such as Dutch Blockchain Coalition more content on tokenization will be created

ABN Amro supports the 2Tokens project and TWO token sale from an educational point of view. Support from major banks like ABN Ambro shows that traditional banks are becoming more invested with blockchain innovations in the financial sector.

The 2Tokens organization recently became a member of the InterWork Alliance (IWA), an organization that joins global efforts to standardize token-powered ecosystems worldwide. Chair IWA and principal architect at Microsoft Marley Gray, also shared his enthusiasm for the 2Tokens initiative and Dusk Network privacy-proof technology.
