Introducing RockX – Alan Seng
Bridging the gap to the digital asset economy
The global climate has become more favourable in the acceptance of digital assets, digital currencies, and cryptocurrencies. At the same time, as the ecosystem becomes more complex and dynamic with each passing day, it can be difficult for investors to find opportunities amidst the risks.
We believe that it is the right time for us to build a platform to deliver trustworthy digital asset services where mainstream investors can diversify into this exciting emerging industry without worrying about the technical implementation and the hassle of ensuring asset security.
The blockchain industry has undergone an immense transformation and maturity under an incredibly short period of time. Not too long ago, Bitcoin was seen by the general public as the medium of exchange for shady operations but it is now widely considered as digital gold. Bitcoin mining is now one of the most competitive and lucrative operations in the blockchain industry.
The birth of Ethereum and the proliferation of smart contracts gave rise to new financing models for startups that went wildly viral in 2017. Then, it pathed the way for new financial and business concepts and use cases for the mainstream public, also known as Decentralized Finance (DeFi), in 2019.
As constant development and improvement is ongoing to increase scalability and security, new Proof-of-Stake (PoS) blockchains like Polkadot and Cosmos are emerging and creating new models for governance and interoperability. We believe that this emerging PoS economy presents appealing investment opportunities.
Currently, there is a steep learning curve for the majority of retail and private institutional investors without technical expertise to deal with. Extensive time investment is required to scour through technical whitepapers to discern the signal from the noise and deal with complex exchanges and wallets to ensure asset security.
Moreover, due to their technically complex processes, running independent mining and staking operations might not be viable for industry newcomers despite its potential for profitability.
However, we do not believe that this should deter investors from exposing and diversifying their portfolio with digital assets. As this exciting industry continues to mature, we believe there are still plenty of investment opportunities available to be capitalized.
This is why we are launching RockX — a new comprehensive digital asset platform where investors can participate in the blockchain economy and get involved with PoS staking, bitcoin mining, and DeFi products fully integrated on a single platform. RockX is the first of its kind in the market where users can diversify and be exposed to different digital assets within one simple interface.
We have radically reinvented how users can maximise their exposure to digital assets in a risk-adjusted and hassle-free environment by designing an accessible and intuitive user experience for secure mining and staking services. In the near future, we will introduce a wider range of DeFi products on the platform.
Once the platform is live, users will be able to stake on the following blockchains via RockX:
- IOTX
- IOST
- Terra
- Cosmos
- ARPA
- Aion
In development: MultiVAC, Solana, Polkadot, and Oasis.
The RockX team is made up of industry veterans with a wealth of experience and technical expertise.
Dr. Alex Lam, the CEO of RockX, is one of China’s most prolific leaders in the bitcoin mining industry. He is the founder and CEO of RockMiner where he led the company in the operations and expansions of large mining farms in China over the past six years. He holds a PhD in Economics from South China University of Technology.
Dr. Xinshu Dong, co-founder of RockX, is an established blockchain and cybersecurity scientist and practitioner. Prior to RockX, he was the CEO of Zilliqa, which is the first public blockchain to implement sharding technology. He holds a PhD in Computer Science from the National University of Singapore. Together with Xinshu, the engineering team have years of experience working on and contributing to PoS projects.
With Alex’s unparalleled experience in the bitcoin mining industry and Xinshu’s technical expertise, we believe that RockX is perfectly positioned to build products that will usher in the next wave of mainstream investors into the industry, accelerating the acceptance of digital assets as a viable asset class.
This is only the beginning. We believe the economy of the future is one where people are equipped to own, invest, and transact with digital assets. RockX will start with providing reliable mining and staking services, and in the future, we will continue to build a trusted infrastructure where more products and services can help investors join in the crypto revolution.
We will be opening up for early community access very soon.
