ARena Space is an AR/VR entertainment parks chain based on the immersive virtual reality technology ARena Full Immersion VR, ARena Park Manager management system, and attractions developed in-house. People in our parks escape the borders of the everyday world: ARena Space’s attractions change reality and tokens replace money.
Amusement parks operator ARena Space has announced the launch of the first Initial Coin Offering to enter the global market.
Pre-ICO starts on the 30th of October and will continue until the 25th of November, 2017. Hard Cap – $850 000. ICO will be on from the 25th of November until the 25th of December. Hard Cap – $30 350 000.
The investments will be spent on the opening of 5 to 15 large parks each being 500 m2 or more in size and on the development of a global franchise in the most important regions of the world: North America (Las Vegas), Asia (Beijing), Europe (Moscow, Barcelona), and in the Middle East (Dubai). After the ICO, ARena Space parks chain will hold an international virtual reality cybersport competition.
This is the world’s first ICO both on the amusement parks market and in the growing segment of virtual reality parks. ARena Space will be the first global amusement parks chain to support payments using the blockchain technology. Additionally, ARena Space became one of the first European companies running an offline business, which chose the ICO format to publicly attract an investment.
The name of the token will be ARenaCoin, which will also be used as an internal currency of the ARena Space parks that will be used by their clients and partners. The token will be pegged to the exchange rate of Ethereum to US dollars.
ARenaCoin token will be used as a payment tool as a part of the loyalty program for the company’s clients, franchisee, and partners. The biggest discount for paying with the tokens will be offered to franchisee. With the development of the chain and with the growth of the number of transactions, the demand for the tokens will rise. By buying and selling ARenaCoin, investors become a part of the ARena Space’s business. Visitors of the parks will be able to exchange the tokens for services or goods at any ARena Space location, and partners and franchisee will get access to advertisement spaces.
The main difference between ARena Space’s ICO and most of the other offerings is the reliability of the investment. The token is backed by real demand. ARena Space parks chain is a real functioning offline business:
Now, there are six parks open in Moscow, Saint-Petersburg, and Sochi, which have already satisfied 20 000 visitors, two parks are being built, four franchises have been sold. This has been achieved in a very short period of time and with small investments – approximately $700 thousand.
Vasily Ryzhonkov, founder and CEO of ARena Space:
We are creating a unique precedent for the market – we are connecting digital economy, promising VR technology market and offline business in the form of amusement parks. With our ICO token buyers will be able to invest in the development of a real functioning global business. The pegging of the token to the growth of the number of locations and clients as the result of a successful ICO will inevitably lead to the growth of the exchange rate, and investors will get a 200%-500% ROI in a year.
Due to the combination of investors, b2b-partners, b2c-clients, locations, and the head company into one single entity via the ARena Park Manager platform, we have created an ecosystem, in the heart of which lies the ARenaCoin token. It will allow b2c-clients to pay for services and franchisee to get a substantial discount on the franchise fee (up to 30%) and on royalty payments (up to 1%).
