What Is Odyssey (OCN)?

Odyssey, abbreviated as OCN, is a cryptocurrency that operates and functions on the Ethereum blockchain network. The platform seeks to create a marketplace where everything is connected, and sharing is the new economy. The Odyssey has an open-source and scalability ecosystem that charges a minimum operating cost for each transaction executed. Moreover, the platform is secured and trustworthy, where performing quicker transactions is possible without any payment barriers. 

Its whitepaper states that the economy in current times faces three main issues. 

1. First, today's sharing economy faces a monopoly, and hence, the platforms take higher margins of transaction charges. 

2. Second, the ownership of the valuable assets is limited only to specific groups. 

3. Third, no effective mechanism is provided for the users to contribute to the sharing economy. Odyssey intends to solve all the issues by using a combination of smart contracts, artificial intelligence, and big data. Thus, the platform seeks to create a next-generation decentralized economy. Odyssey released the token OCOIN or OCN for creating a transparent sharing economy. OCN token is a non-refundable utility token used for exchange between the participants in the platform. The OCN coin can be used in the ecosystem to make transactions with the service provider and purchase consumer services. Moreover, the community operators can receive incentives for monitoring and reporting services. Also, developers develop Dapps, fixes bugs, etc., in exchange for the coin.
