Antshares Announces Platform Partnership with Wings

Antshares and WINGS Announce Platform Partnership for Mutual Market Expansion and Blockchain Technology R&D     

WINGS and Antshares Will Strenghten East-West Crypto-Community Collaboration and Drive Development in Blockchain Technology Innovation Opportunities    

(LONDON, UK -- NOVEMBER 7, 2016) -- WINGS (wings.ai), a decentralized platform to create, join and manage decentralized autonomous organizations (DAO), and Antshares (antshares.org), a decentralized, blockchain-based digital assets platform that allows people to collaborate, build and share financial assets today at the Blockchain: Money conference in London announced a comprehensive partnership to expand business reach and for technological research and development.     

WINGS combines the ideas of crowdfunding with swarm intelligence decision-making through decentralized forecast markets into a project funding and governance platform easily accessible to anyone with a smart phone. Antshares is a decentralized network protocol based on blockchain technology to digitalize assets or shares, and consumate financial business transactions such as registration, issuance, exchange, settlement and payment through the Antshares peer-to-peer network.  

The strategic cooperation enables European and North American DAO projects to tap  the Chinese cryptocurency community, and Chinese start-ups to do the same with European and North American communities. Further, the organizations will coordinate on mutual business opportunities, and promote joint hackathons to drive ecosystem innovation.  

The partnership will advance the technology ecosystem and establish new standards for safe funding of projects and companies using the platforms. In particular, the teams will collaborate on:

1. Development of an opcode-based Virtual Machine and a correspondent javascript-to-opcode compiler for integration between WINGS, WINGS project DAOs and the AntShares Blockchain. 
2. Research and development of atomic swaps protocol for cross-blockchain support.     

“We’re excited to collaborate with Antshares and bring the next batch of DAOs to a global audience,” said Stas Oskin, WINGS Head of Business Development and Core Developer. “WINGS DAO can now to tap into the Chinese market with a respected local partner, and add a valuable technology platform to expand the WINGS ecosystem reach.”       

“WINGS, much like Antshares, is committed to enable  startups and ideas in the growing decentralized blockchain technologies sector,” said David Li, Antshares Head of Overseas Operations. “Our partnership with WINGS will be innovating on cutting-edge of technology and closing the gap between the two worlds. A borderless, cross-cultural effort is indispensable for a truly decentralized future.”     

The Antshares Blockchain has been online since October 17, 2016, and the native token ANS has been listed for trading in multiple exchanges including Bittrex and Yunbi. Currently, 3 startups have already issued their own tokens using the Antshares Blockchain, with a dozen in the pipeline. Antshares is considered the very first Chinese open-source blockchain project to tap into the Western world, with more than half of the most recent crowd-based financing campaign participants coming from outside of China.     

WINGS is currently in pre-alpha stage and will start a donation-based crowdfunding campaign on November 18, 2016 which has five levels of funding goals topping out at 30,000 bitcoins to realize a fully-functional platform and WINGS ecosystem to drive the use of DAO technology for use in project forecasting, funding and governance.
