This article is one of a five part series and is an effort to simplify the whitepaper in my own words.

FMT TOKEN – UTILITY OR SECURITY?
This subject matter made the management FMT Token Management to seek good legal advice from top legal practitioners from all over the globe before a general consensus was reached that the FMT token is not a security but a utility token.

FMT Tokens have three major uses:

  1. Tokens give the holder reduced transaction fee and free Merchant subscription, coupled with different types of bonuses.
  2. Tokens can be sold or transferred to other participants on the platform.
  3. The token can be used as payment for products purchased on the platform.

Users on the Ecryptostore platform can trade with each other at any time using both fiat and crypto-currencies, but sellers will be able to enjoy the bonuses of free monthly subscription fees if they are able to keep a certain amount of FMT Tokens in their wallet.

For a merchant to enjoy the bonuses stated above and qualify for the Gold Level Merchant status, the merchant should not have less than 250 FMT tokens in their wallet, irrespective of whether the wallet is on the Ecryptostore platform or any wallet providing platform. Also, merchants that meet these requirements might qualify for other bonuses like discounts, promotion of future products or unlimited listings. But anything less than 250 FMT token will make a merchant illegible for bonuses such as free monthly subscription fees and other benefits.

FMT TOKEN ON PLATFORM
The Ecryptostore FMT token is available to the public for both present and future use on the platform. The FMT token is utility based and it will be duly used on the Ecryptostore platform. With the milestones and roadmaps set by the platform administrators, the token utility will grow by leaps and bounds till it reaches its maximum potential and full functionality.

• Merchants on the platform will be able to enjoy subsidized transaction fees, although the discounts on the fees will be dependent on the quantity of FMT token staked or the Merchant’s choice of seller status.
• FMT Tokens can be used by merchants to reward customers in a process known as ‘gift advertising’ here potential customers are given free token just for opening targeted advertising messages.
• Participants on the platform will receive FMT token as rewards for meaningful contributions, referral bonuses, and other benefits in order to encourage more people to join the platform and increase the user base.
• FMT token will be used as a means of payment for goods and services bought through the Ecryptostore platform; this is subject to approval by the regulatory and licensing bodies (as may be required).
• FMT token is a store of value.
