The blockchain-backed, P2P, IOU-based system will let the users to mutually offer lines of credit within the Sikoba system. This will be made possible via smart contracts, giving users the freedom to pay each other with both cryptocurrencies and fiat money.
The credit relationships in Sikoba system are governed by smart contracts with specific conditions, fee structures, and repayment rules. ‘Credit conversion’ is used for transactions between participants who either do not know or trust each other and fiat currencies or cryptocurrencies can act as a medium of exchange.
Aleksander Kampa, Sikoba CEO, elaborated that the platform is designed as a decentralized system, with the goal of eventually becoming independent and self-organizing, through the aid of blockchain technology. The Sikoba Blockchain uses the ‘Federated Blockchain’ design which is a permissioned mining model where only authorized nodes add blocks to the blockchain.

For this reason, the Sikoba ecosystem offers a fully functioning virtual credit, or IOU system, that offers users the ability to attain accredited value, borrowed from another participant, without releasing any funds.
The Sikoba presale tokens are scheduled for release by the end of June 2017. The usable SKO tokens will be provided to the participant following the platform’s launch, expected in Q3, 2018. The pre-allocation phase has begun on 17 March 2017, and the public presale will start on 25 April.
