The rest of the world is starting to take notice of the fact that skincare and the blockchain are in fact compatible!

We’ve just had articles written about what we’re doing here at Opu Labs in some major industry titles: the Blockchain Healthcare Review; CoinTelegraph; and the Blockchain Business News Network.

Here’s what they’re saying…

Are Blockchain and AI Technologies the Key to Healthy Skin?

A close up look at the tech stack we’re building — our five core service, how they work together, and how they’ll improve dermatology diagnoses for patients and doctors — as penned by the Blockchain Healthcare Review.

Our ICO is looming. We couldn’t be more excited.

While seasoned crypto fans will get how this all works, what if this is the first time you’ve dabbled in an ICO?

We realize there’s fair amount of perceived complexity surrounding blockchain technology, coin offerings, and decentralization. So here we’ve done our best to explain how they all work together, how we’re creating our digital skincare ecosystem, and how everyone can get involved.

Know Your ICO

Let’s start with the basics. (If you know your onions, you may want to skip this part). There are a thousand Initial Coin Offerings (ICOs) out there. Some call them Token Generation Events (TGEs). Others may refer to them as Token Sales. Vitalik Buterin (Ethereum’s founder) even mooted a variation called an Interactive Coin Offering at one point. Truth be told, they’re all pretty much the same thing — as far as terminologies go. But the reality is each one is very different from the next. But what exactly are they?

• For entrepreneurs, they’re an opportunity to raise the money needed to complete the technology they’re building.
• For ICO participants, they offer something far more intriguing: the chance to purchase a newly created cryptocurrency.

Instead of buying shares (as you would in an IPO), with an ICO, participants contribute funds into a decentralized ecosystem, and are awarded ‘tokens’ when the fundraising period is over. Those tokens are pegged to a particular cryptocurrency (Ethereum in Opu’s case, as we’re making use of smart contract functionality, which ensure the secure exchange of data).

Buyers bank on future demand for the tokens; which is driven by the technology’s ability to attract a critical mass of users.

So, despite all the mania around ‘get rich quick’ schemes (which are almost always too good to be true), the fact remains that if the technology is a) solid and b) solves a real-world pain point for a particular sector, the greater the chances of success will be for the token. And an ICO is a chance to get in on the ground floor.

Down To Business: Opu’s ICO

As you probably know, our background is health and wellness: skincare specifically. Because we’ve seen where the industry falls short; we’ve decided to build a platform that helps to alleviate some of the key pain points (try out our demo platform to see for yourself).

The reason we’re doing this using Ethereum blockchain technology is because one of the biggest issues the skincare sector faces is reliable information. In order to create skincare solutions that have tried and true results, dermatologists need accurate data from a range of different patients. However, a lot of people, across the world, don’t have access to professional dermatological advice; they rely on the advice of friends, family, or anyone else with an alleged ‘miracle cure’

Opu’s ecosystem

In a nutshell, the ecosystem we’re creating will bring together everyone who plays a role in the skincare industry. We’re building a suite of services to facilitate the required interactions, alongside a mechanism that ensures the secure exchange of data (you can read more about the specifics in our whitepaper — or even our previous blog post).
