On to the Segment 1 of our AMA, we hope you’re ready for the next few questions coming at you!
PASI NIEMINEN – Chairman & Founder of Cenfura: let’s go!!
Yuno – Blockelite Host: Our guest is ready, we will enter Segment 1 right now !!!
Q1: Can you briefly introduce yourself as well as about Cenfura?
PASI NIEMINEN – Chairman & Founder of Cenfura: Absolutely, keeping it short and sweet
I have been working on software since 1995, last many years in cyber security, blockchain and energy related. Got involved in blockchain sometime 2013 when lived in Beijing, when met BTC team there in legendary Garage Cafe, unfortunately did not buy any … but followed the stuff closely ever since.
Cenfura and XCF project was already started over 3 years ago when we started to think how to tokenize real world energy assets, started to build team, started to build the platform, energy asset project pipeline, and finally went alive end of 2020. Cenfura, www.cenfura.com (http://www.cenfura.com/) , will build finances and operates renewable energy assets globally, all assets will use our XCF token, www.xcf-token.io (http://www.xcf-token.io/) , each asset will normally make contract for 10-20 years and will use tokens whole time. Now, 3 years later, we have super experienced (and hungry) team on FinTech, Software + energy development.
Yuno – Blockelite Host: oh, you didn’t buy BTC
you missed a great opportunity
PASI NIEMINEN – Chairman & Founder of Cenfura: I learnt a lot !!!
Yuno – Blockelite Host: Thank you, for your introduction, our pleasure to have you join us today
Next question
Q2: Many energy companies still choose to develop a traditional central database, why does Cenfura decide to build on Blockchain? What are the characteristics and advantages of Cenfura compared with them?
PASI NIEMINEN – Chairman & Founder of Cenfura: blockchain is a key thing for transparency and making solid platform for turly international trading, thing that lasts. solid tech, makes sense. Nothing wrong on centralized db but this is just better.
i have been working my whole life with DBs, but this just works
btw, seeking new people to team. i know you have great ppl in Vietnam, feel free to ask Jussi about it. Smart contracts needed!
Yuno – Blockelite Host: thanks, next question
Q3: Who are your targeted audience and customers? What regions do you target specifically or are there any restriction to users? And what is the market strategies to attract users to join your project?
PASI NIEMINEN – Chairman & Founder of Cenfura: We seek people in local communities and want to be present, in both , token and green energy. energy side we bring energy to communities, making sure green energy will be avaialable everywhere. \
Yuno – Blockelite Host: haha, green energy
PASI NIEMINEN – Chairman & Founder of Cenfura: hey it is truly green 🙂
but you cannot see it!
Yuno – Blockelite Host: Continue with Q4
Q4: Can you explain how Cenfura works? What are the use cases of the XCF token in Cenfura ecosystem?
PASI NIEMINEN – Chairman & Founder of Cenfura: okay, cool
Currently, most forms of payment are slow and prone to failure. Transaction settlement takes a long time and can be quite expensive. Once energy is produced by an asset on Cenfura’s platform, it’s efficiently routed to storage or end users and recorded as XCF for fast settlement and easy billing. The platform uses smart contracts and AI combined with local customisations to deliver a plug-and-play Fintech solution to any energy grid.
Cenfura then converts the billed amount to XCF tokens at the current rate. These tokens are deposited into the asset owner’s account seamlessly. The token recipient can then use the tokens for other internal services or take them to an exchange to redeem for local currency.
Account owners may hold the XCF tokens, they may sell them, they may export them to an address residing outside the private exchange, and/or they may trade them using an outside private exchange.
Each asset added into tokenisation will create additional demand for tokens, depending on contract for next 10-20 years, in average.
See more from http://www.xcf-token.io/
key thing is that token is driven by real assets, with real contracts, for 10-20 years
Yuno – Blockelite Host: Where can we buy/sell XCF now ?
PASI NIEMINEN – Chairman & Founder of Cenfura: yes, right now in liquid.com
