A new future is being shaped, one in which blockchain technology would be the order of the day. Blockchain technology has been a technological revolution right from when it was introduced to the world. Blockchain, right from its introduction has been applied to solve series of prevalent problems in different sectors of the global economy as well as different industries and there are still lots of untapped applications for the blockchain. The healthcare Industry is one industry in which blockchain technology has been applied and by virtue of the application of blockchain technology a whole lot of problems plaguing it globally has been greatly addressed. A newly tapped application of the blockchain technology is in the skincare industry.
Skincare is a really big industry and what most people do not realise is that everyone definitely cannot have the same type of skin; all skin textures are different. People just go online most times and take several skincare advice form just anybody, some can even be as naive as going skin product stores and take advice from the store keepers or the marketing executives. Definitely skin care products store keepers would in most cases say anything to ensure they sell their products and of course marketing executives would talk one into buying any product even if that product would end up causing more harm than good.
There is a really big need for dermatologists to offer their services to the general public and even help stopping people from killing their skin from the inside out but this need cannot be essentially met because there is no solution to enable dermatologists reach the ready global customers.
Some of the challenges currently faced in the skincare industry is the lack of trust; people have tried product upon product but are yet to get the much desired result, a person like that would be so reluctant to try yet another product that might also not work; some people might not have the trust issue but they may not be in a very good position to afford whatever recommended skincare product. A whole lot of other problems exist as regards the skincare industry but they won't last, thanks to "OPU".
Opu aims at improving the quality and efficiency of dermatological data by creating a whole system of online platforms all based mainly on trust.
These platforms essentially create a link between the identification of different skin conditions and the correction of these conditions.
OPU Ecosystem.
The fuel that is directly linked to and drives the OPU Ecosystem is the OPU Coin which is a token of the ERC20 token standard with a total supply of 2,700,000,000 OPU from which 50% (1,350,000,000 OPU) is allocated to the ICO, 25% (675,000,000 OPU) to the team/company, 7% (189,000,000 OPU) is set aside as storage, 11% (297,000,000 OPU) is allocated to the partners and 7% (189,000,000 OPU) is allocated to the platform rewards.
The softcap is set at $3,000,000 with a hard cap set at $37,000,000.
The Use of ICO proceeds.
43% would be used for the market development, 27.7% for research and development, 19.4% would be used for acquisitions and 9.9% for operations.
