Los Cuende han innovado hasta el punto en que se encuentran ante una “oportunidad de grado Google”: ser el monopolio de facto en un sector altamente tecnológico y con inmensas posibilidades de negocio. Su ingrediente único es el uso de imágenes por satélite de alta definición para poder medir con exactitud el tráfico automovilístico, puesto que el grueso del transporte particular se realiza en coche.

Is tokenization Compulsory? / ¿Es obligatorio tokenizar la acción?
No, it is an individual choice that each investor can exercise at the time they deem most convenient. There is no obligation to tokenize the shares. In the event that they choose to tokenize, the investor will maintain exactly the same rights as the rest of the shareholders.

No, es una elección individual de cada inversor que podrá ejercer en el momento que juzgue más conveniente para sus intereses. No hay ninguna obligación de tokenizar las acciones. En el caso de que opte por tokenizar, el inversor seguirá manteniendo los mismos derechos que el resto de accionistas.

Are the issued tokens related to the project or are they company shares? / Los token emitidos ¿son del proyecto o de las acciones de CUENDE?
Avatar

The tokens to be issued are the digital representation of the CUENDE shares on blockchain technology. CUENDE investors have the same rights as the shareholders of any company: the proportional part in the distribution of the company's profits, attending Shareholders' Meetings and so on. Tokenization provides the advantages derived from the digital support of the asset, to which we evolved from a system based on contracts signed on paper. Our main objective is to promote the liquidity of Cuende's shares once they are acquired by our investors.

Los tokens que se emitirán son la representación digital con tecnología blockchain de las acciones de CUENDE. El inversor en CUENDE tendrá los mismos derechos que los accionistas de cualquier empresa: obtener la parte proporcional en el reparto de beneficios de la empresa, asistencia a Juntas de Accionistas...etc. La tokenización aporta las ventajas derivadas del soporte digital del activo, al que evolucionamos desde un sistema basado en contratos firmados sobre papel. Nuestro objetivo principal es promover la liquidez de las acciones de Cuende una vez las adquieren nuestros inversores.
