There are 3 TIERS available:

  • tier 1 10k FOUR staked enables 10% discount

  • tier 3 50k FOUR staked enables 50% discount

Disclaimer:

💡 The number of FOUR tokens in tiers 1-3 is variable due to market conditions and/or price fluctuations.

  • Step 5: In order to send data files to friends and colleagues you will need to know your wallet address and the receiver's wallet address. Your wallet address works like your phone number or email address. It is uniquely yours!

Note:

💡 For example, let’s say the Polkadot Edgeware network is your blockchain of choice. Your Polkadot Edgeware wallet account is used for sending or receiving any type of data files. It works similarly to email attachments, but with one main difference. Exchanging data files via blockchain is 100% secure and private.

Note:

💡 4thTech platform currently supports Ethereum, Polkadot Edgeware, Tolar HashNet and Solana.

  • Step 6: Tap on the Send data tab, fill in the request form, attach the file and press Send.

Note:

💡 4thTech currently supports up to 20Mb of data file size.

  • Step 7: If you send a file, you can follow the transaction in the blockchain explorer of the chosen network by pressing the transaction Explorer link. If you receive a file, you can check it in your Received data tab.

Note:

💡 Check the file authenticity by clicking on the submenu Details. If the Checksum Match is green, then the received file is authentic. Remember to download the received files to your computer as library storage is limited up to 7 days. After 7 days, files will be deleted.

Bridging ERC-20 FOUR from Ethereum to Binance Smart Chain BEP-20 FOUR using OmniBridge and xDai Chain

When sending ERC-20 FOUR to Binance Smart Chain, the cross-blockchain bridge is needed. The Bridge enables the cross-chain token bridging in both directions. The smart contract locks the ERC-20 FOUR sent from the Ethereum, while the equivalent amount of FOUR BEP-20 is minted on BSC. When the BEP-20 FOUR needs to be bridged back to ERC-20 FOUR, the smart contract puts in a BEP-20 FOUR burn request to the Bridge, and the ERC-20 FOUR are released from the reserves. This process ensures that the total and circulating token supply don’t change.
