The Sikoba Blockchain uses the ‘Federated Blockchain’ design which is a permissioned mining model where only authorized nodes add blocks to the blockchain.

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.
