Singapore, Singapore, 15th December, 2022
TOKO, the digital asset creation platform empowering value creation and delivered in collaboration with DLA Piper, will host and operate a validator node on ParallelChain Mainnet, a layer-1 proof-of-stake blockchain developed by
ParallelChain Lab .
The engagement entails TOKO to stake 2,500,000 XPLL, which is ParallelChain’s native utility token, and to process transactions on ParallelChain through participation in the consensus process, which helps bolster the security of ParallelChain. The validator node will be open for delegation.
Scott Thiel, former Intellectual Property and Technology partner at DLA Piper and Founder of TOKO, said: “We are delighted to have TOKO contribute to ParallelChain’s collective security and governance. TOKO is on a mission to democratize finance by simplifying the complexities of the tokenisation journey through our integrated advisory, issuance and asset servicing platform.”
ParallelChain is a dual-blockchain ecosystem powered by two layer-1 blockchains: ParallelChain Mainnet (public) and ParallelChain Enterprise (private). Its pioneering permissioned-permissionless blockchain interoperability brings Web2 and Web3 into a scalable, networked economy.
Ian Huang, the Founder, CEO & Chief Architect of ParallelChain Lab, said “We are excited to have Scott and the team at TOKO join our ParallelChain Mainnet ecosystem as a node validator, and we look forward to partnering with more companies as we approach the launch of our public blockchain.”
