Outstanding AgriTech Startups Raising Capital Through Tokens
In the era of Industry 4.0 permeating every field, smart farming models is witnessing an unprecedented wave of innovation with the emergence of numerous tech startups.A standout trend is the use of token (digital assets based on blockchain) as a fundraising strategy, creating new opportunities for both investors and the agricultural sector. But what exactly are tokens, why are they becoming an investment magnet, and which startups are leading this movement?
Why Token-Based Fundraising Is the New Trend in Agriculture
Tokens - The Key to Fundraising Innovation
Token are units of value issued on blockchain networks—decentralized digital ledgers known for their high level of security. With tokens, startups can launch their own digital assets to raise funds globally through models like ICOs (Initial Coin Offerings), IEOs (Initial Exchange Offerings), or STOs (Security Token Offerings).
Unlike traditional fundraising, tokenization allows startups to expand their pool of small-scale investors, improve capital flexibility, and enhance transparency, thanks to data that is immutable and easily accessible on the blockchain.
Digital Technologies in Use: Blockchain, NFT, Web3, IoT...
- Blockchain: Stores data related to transactions, production, logistics, and product traceability in a secure and tamper-proof way.
- NFT (Non-Fungible Tokens): Record unique digital assets such as seed copyrights, organic certifications, etc.
- Web3: The next-gen Internet where users, producers, and businesses collectively control data, empowering small farmers.
- IoT: Smart devices collect farming and environmental data to optimize production.
