A brief history about your company.
•	The ABEY (Advanced Blockchain for Enhanced Yields) project came to life in 2017, as a research initiative of Ciprian Pungilă, PhD. and Prof. Viorel Negru, PhD., from the Faculty of Mathematics and Informatics, West University of Timișoara, Romania, one of the biggest universities in the country at this time. The project's focus was applying high-performance computational models, a strong focus of our research, to the blockchain industry, with particular applications in e-commerce.
•	Our research started with the publishing of a whitepaper, which we started building upon, in the time to follow. In a short amount of time after that, the ABEY blockchain has amassed more than 100,000 unique wallets in less than 6 months, a growth rate 8X times bigger than that of Bitcoin, and 2.5X times bigger than that of Ethereum.
•	As of today, the ABEY blockchain has several international patents pending and a number of high-quality, peer-reviewed papers that have been published in reputable international journals, conference proceedings and books, including Elsevier, Springer, IEEE, Scopus, ISI Web of Science and DBLP.
•	This year, we have also created a first of its kind – Romania’s first nation-wide postgraduate blockchain program, fully accredited by the Romanian National Ministry of Education, and organized through our own university, with direct support from the ABEY Foundation – an initiative that is the first of its kind throughout the country.
•	As part of the postgraduate blockchain program, amongst myself as program director and various other reputable academic lecturers, we have also been joined by Mihai Alisie, one of the co-founders of the Ethereum blockchain and creator of Bitcoin magazine
•	In addition, graduation diplomas certified by the Ministry of Education of Romania will be issued digitally for all participants in Romania's only (and fully accredited) postgraduate blockchain course, through the ABEY blockchain, a national first for our country as well. 
•	In 2019, the ABEY Foundation came to life. Its purpose is to support high-quality research in the ABEY blockchain, as well as provide legal background on tackling the various hurdles that our endeavours face. Alongside our strategic partners worldwide, the research made at the ABEY Foundation has reached significant milestones over time. In addition, our token is currently actively traded on two exchanges.
•	In 2020, the research & development done as part of the ABEY blockchain have achieved several significant milestones, of which the most important are listed below:
o	A highly-innovative approach to smart-contracts transmission and execution, to be published in a top (state-of-the-art) Computer Science of Elsevier (Information Processing and Management), which shows how the ABEY blockchain successfully improves performance from 2X to 10X times bandwidth-wise, as compared to Ethereum, a unique and outstanding achievement.
o	The biggest innovation yet came from abeyDB, our custom, proprietary solution to database management for smart-contracts transmission and execution, using innovative storage dynamics that offers performance from 2X to 40X better than Ethereum's system in real-world tests, yet even more, has the highest ratio performance per memory footprint in the world at this time - exceeding Ethereum's by at least 18X times, all the way to 183X times on a casual, consumer-grade notebook. This makes ABEY smart-contracts run much faster, be more responsive, and provide better feedback to distributed applications for all low-level interactions, one of the primary bottlenecks of blockchains today.
o	Version 2.0 of the ABEY whitepaper is to be released in early 2021, outlining the future research roadmap and development directions for the next few years to come, as well as several new use-cases for the technology developed under the ABEY project's umbrella.

A new currency is born in the history of currencies over thousands of years - KOC (KING OF CURRENCY).
A new token (currency) that sets an appropriate price with multiple mining resources as supporting assets will be born with the following characteristics. 
● Lock up mining resources owned by government- guaranteed / listed companies as supporting assets of token (currency) fair price  
●Control the number of tokens (currencies) issued    for the total amount of multiple assets (resource basket) like ETFs. 
● Holders can view the assigned assets associated with the blockchain address of the issued token (currency).
That is the Multi-Resource-Oriented Currency (Resource Basket Currency).
