The year is just getting going but we’re continuing to clench your thirst for good quality projects and are bringing one more diamond in the rough right from the get-go. Similarly to the last year, ExMarkets is staying on course and maintains a steady schedule of showcasing the most promising crypto and blockchain endeavors currently on the market.

We appreciate the trust our users put into our ecosystem and will continue to strive for excellence in order to give the chance for our users to achieve the best possible returns on their investments.

Today we are presenting the Cerviero project. It is a plant cultivation and irrigation system propelled by state-of-the-art technology and verified by blockchain technology. Cerviero is based on hydroponics — a superbly efficient way to grow and maintain plants without the need for actual soil.

The innovative edge of the Cerviero Hydroponics system lies in the fact that using distributed ledger technology, the company will be able to connect all hardware and software, data processing systems, irrigation algorithms, fertilizer, production, and supply chain management tools into a vast interconnected network that makes automated decisions based on inputs provided by separate parts of the system thus making it extremely more efficient and cost-effective. Moreover, the system will be monitored 24/7 and give real-time access to authorized personnel to track production rates and plant output.

The Cerviero project is initially planned to service the economy of the United Arab Emirates and help to generate enough plant-based foods for the country residing essentially in a desert.

Cerviero Initial Exchange Offering kicks off on January 13th will consist of 2 separate rounds with different pricing levels (rewarding early contributors) and end on the 18th of February. AQUA tokens are the proprietary payment vehicles of the Cerviero Hydroponics system and will be sold starting at $0.21 cents apiece.

  • Round I: 13.01.2020, 00:00–27.01.2020, 00:00 | Price: 0.21$
  • Round II: 04.02.2020, 00:00–18.02.2020, 00:00 | Price: 0.23$

“A brand like ExMarkets fits perfectly into the current development strategy of our company through collaborations with partners of great value and prestige. This agreement will focus on enhancing our brand in the blockchain world. Transparency, product traceability is very important in the agritech way for both, through the activities that we will go and implement together. The ambition to grow together in the near future remains constant. ExMarkets has always been close to the world of blockchain and for these reasons, we decided to start with IEO on this exchange.” — said A. Cerviero, CEO and Founder of the Cerviero project.

The initial Exchange offering of Cerviero starts on January 13th. Mark your calendars and set alarms so you are there when the action starts. Meanwhile, you can visit ExMarket IEO LaunchPad and register an account so you’re ready when the sale initiates.

Idea Behind Cerviero Initiative: 500% more efficient, 90% less water consumption, 50% faster growth

Ground Zero for Cerviero initiative has been chosen to be the United Arab Emirates (UAE) given its arid climate, deficiencies of arable land and extremely scarce water resources. This is a place with an extremely high GDP per capita (one of the highest in the world) but minimal opportunities to grow and cultivate plant-based foods locally. At the moment, UAE is importing more than 85% of its food from outside countries. Reaching food production sustainability or at least improving it is among the country’s top priorities for economic development and Cerviero can help to achieve precisely that.

Cerviero is powered through the use of hydroponics which allows bypassing the need for actual soil in order to grow and cultivate plants in different water solutions. Hydroponics uses various nutrients and minerals that are dissolved in water. All the necessary materials are infused into the solution which can support and in most cases even accelerate plant growth.

Once the plant is successfully produced in the nursery stage, it is transported to the main growth area, essentially a greenhouse, on the inert support framework that is placed approximately 60 cm above the ground which is irrigated continuously with all the relevant nutritive solutions and minerals which are required to maintain natural nutrition.

Carbon dioxide fertilizers mixed with oxygen and nitrogen that are abundant in the air supply facilitate photosynthesis and enrich the environment for uninterrupted vegetation throughout the whole year. Cerviero offers a new generation approach to food cultivation in indoor farms.

What’s the benefit you might ask and no without a sound reason. The best thing about the project is that the described method can vastly outperform traditional ways of food production and plant cultivation. It is said, that farms like the ones Cerviero is proposing are up to 5 times as efficient and traditional ones, uses up to 10 times less water and can grow products twice as fast — all this requiring less energy and less human labor.

Blockchain Application

In order to keep track of all operations, inputs, and outputs of the system, to measure the levels of efficiency and production Cerviero is implementing a blockchain-based system. Blockchain technology was chosen given its capabilities to record and archive all operations within the system thus ensuring authenticity and transparency which are key characteristics for efficient management.

What is more, regular nowadays consumers are getting increasingly more knowledgeable and environmentally-aware. They are demanding to know where and in what conditions were the products they consume produced and what biological footprint has that production inflicted on the earth and the environment. Industry experts forecast that major food producers and manufacturers soon will have no other option but to procure all such information to the public or risk being dropped from society’s shopping carts. Cerviero is jumping ahead of the line and is implementing food traceability architecture from the start of development.

Of course, there are auxiliary features of blockchain-powered systems that go perfectly with what Cerviero is building: it helps prevent fraud and ensures trust in the network, it also enables to create utility tokens to be used as a payment method within the boundaries of the system.

Moreover, blockchain is already being used in the food manufacturing and agriculture industries namely to fight counterfeiting, reduce waste and make supply chains more effective, ensure cybersecurity and many other areas.
