VOLUM - The Holding Company That is Revolutionizing The Blockchain Industry

PRESENTATION

With strict capital controls in place by most countries to control the flow of money and charge high taxes, cryptocurrency gained usage in circumventing capital controls and taxes, leading to an increase in demand. Cryptocurrency has been able to present an easy to use digital alternative to fiat currencies. Offering frictionless transactions and inflation control, investors have been prudent enough to add these currencies in their diversified portfolios as an asset, as the size of the market does not represent a systemic risk. Cryptocurrency employs the use of cryptography that assures high-security processes and verifies transactions personal to each user. Hence, counterfeiting and anonymous transactions are impossible to achieve.

While this revolution is gaining wide acceptance, VOLUM, a technology-based blockchain-era holding company has arrived. VOLUM has created a Multi-Sector Enterprise & Business-2-Business (B2B) Platform which will allow companies to rapidly scale and grow internationally by leveraging all of the power and benefits provided by blockchain technology.

"In 2017, the market for blockchain was $411.5 million, and its expected to keep growing with more startups every year. For business applications, blockchain access can be restricted to a private network, rather than the public blockchains used by most cryptocurrencies. This would make the blockchain accessible to only approved personnel or companies and offer a multitude of benefits.

With private blockchain, companies would be more secure from single point of entry hacks, as their data would exist across multiple nodes and couldn’t be hack from a single weak point, usually a phishing scheme. The decentralized nature of blockchain also acts as a internal backup, preventing accidental data loss or deletion. Companies would save money by using blockchain and smart contracts, reducing the amount of time spent verifying transactions and following up on missed payments.

Regardless of your industry, blockchain has potential benefits for your business."

With that being said, VOLUM leverages the benefits of a holding company structure which, by design, minimizes risks through diversification, and allows shared infrastructure to quickly attain economies of scale through blockchain technology.

How It Works?

Before we take a step forward into shedding some light on the Token and ICO details, let's take a little detour into The Business Model and Revenue Model as depicted on the official whitepaper of VOLUM:

Business Model

VOLUM makes minority investments (30%-35% equity stake initially) in portfolio operating companies that it deems are poised to maximize efficiencies and competitive advantages by leveraging the VOLUM decentralized logistics and supply chain technology platform. Through the implementation of this strategy, the company assembles a portfolio of businesses with the potential to become market leaders in their respective industry spaces.

Revenue Model

VOLUM generates revenue from operating company dividends as well as from platform transaction revenue, paid in VLM currency, from the operating companies for their use of the VOLUM technology platform. The selection process of portfolio companies also takes into consideration potential vertical and horizontal integration opportunities with other portfolio companies to further expand competitive advantages and to accelerate transactions revenue growth on the VOLUM single token platform. The company expects to benefit from appreciation in the asset value of its portfolio companies over the holding period of these investments.

Token and ICO Details

VOLUM Consortium chain will be able to deploy as many ERC721 tokens as needed for each supply chain order. This operation will be free as well. When an ERC721 token goes from the A to Z supply chain process, there will be an opportunity to burn the token as it will not be needed (burning can be done by erasing metadata in the ERC721 token and then assigning its account number to the last minted ERC721 token).
