Reltime Receives Prestigious Nordic Innovation Award for ‘Best AI & Web3 Fintech of 2023’

 

Oslo-based Reltime AS has been honoured with the esteemed Nordic Innovation Award in the category of “Best AI and Web3.0 Fintech.” The winners were announced on May 24, 2023, at the Iceland Innovation Week in Reykjavik, where top contenders from 12 award categories across the Nordic countries gathered. The Nordic Innovation Award has been recognizing and celebrating outstanding achievements and their impacts since 2012.

In the fiercely competitive “Web3.0 and AI” category, the jury sought a fintech that had developed a global Web3 platform incorporating decentralization, blockchain, and AI based technology to drive token-based economics. The winner was expected to also offer credible solutions for data security, scalability, privacy using innovative technologies such as Smart contracts, Web3, Blockchain, Non-Custodian wallets, Tokenization, NFTs, and AI/Machine Learning.

Upon receiving this prestigious accolade, Frode van der Laak, Co-Founder & CEO of Reltime, expressed his pride and gratitude, stating, “This is an incredibly proud moment for all Reltimers. I extend my sincere thanks to our Co-Founder, team, investors, partners, and customers for their unwavering trust in our mission to democratize, globalize, simplify, and modernize digitization and financial services. Just last week, we confirmed the ground-breaking launch of our Wrapped FIAT and Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC) services, empowering customers to create and mint digital ‘wrapped’ FIAT currencies in all major denominations, while enabling governments to establish their own CBDCs.”

Reltime launches its revolutionary blockchain and ecosystem globally

 

Reltime launched its revolutionary global decentralised financial (DeFi) ecosystem today, with over 10,000 people signing up on www.reltime.com.

To celebrate this milestone, Reltime organised a virtual Global Launch Party on Monday morning in the presence of CEO, founder and inventor Frode van der Laak and many of Reltime’s first movers.

Reltime is the first blockchain company to have created a unique global platform from scratch, including and offering borderless joint accounts to its users world-wide. Reltime has developed a next-generation, hybrid financial technology and DeFi ecosystem on top of its permissioned, PoA (Proof-of-Authority) blockchain.

Reltime’s personal and business users are able to benefit from highly-secure, transparent and fast transaction speeds of 2-3 seconds on average, utilising dApps, smart contracts and other Reltime features such as guaranteed, automatic collateral. Unlike many banking and fintech industry players, the company cuts out the middleman for all its financial services offered on the Reltime platform.

Commenting on the global launch, Frode van der Laak said: “We are excited to have launched our platform today, giving Reltime’s users the opportunity to be totally in charge of their own financial services within our ecosystem. Later this month, Reltime will roll-out its services in over 130 counties. Instead of using SWIFT and traditional lending platforms, Reltime is available 24/7/365, allowing personal and business users to interact and transact without any time constraints, and earn on interest).”

Reltime’s beta app for iOS and Android currently includes:

  • almost gas-free transaction fees;
  • very easy to send and receive funds to users’ phone contacts;
  • settlement time of between 2-3 seconds, on average;
  • Reltime users can offer loans to the Reltime marketplacewith collateral and limited lending risk;
  • peer-to-peer lending and borrowing, whereby users themselves are able to set their own terms, interest rate and collateral (with or without).
  • users having full control over Reltime’s services and with whom they wish to interact and communicate;
  • creating joint accounts between two or more users globally and being able to manage the accessibility of such accounts in relation to withdrawals and deposits;

Reltime has created a digital asset called RTO (Reltime Oxygen), which is a stable coin used within the ecosystem.

The firm has listed the RTC token, which plays an important role in Reltime’s ecosystem operation. Benefits for RTC owners include:

  • by holding the token, owners can benefit from an Interest reduction if they borrow from anyone within the Reltime ecosystem;
  • receiving dividends on ecosystem earnings, such as transaction and gas fees, interest payments, business-to-business and openAPI services as well as other future revenues.

During Reltime’s Global Launch Party, Reltime’s CEO announced two additional RTC listings, on P2PB2B and INDOEX. Reltime has already been listed on BitMart and CoinTiger since November and December 2021, respectively. The company successfully carried out an initial exchange offering (IEO) in October 2021 on BitMart.

Each and every newly-registered Reltime user will receive a welcoming reward of RTC 1,000. In addition, Reltime offers a RTC 500 referral reward to users for signing up their friends and family.
