We are proud to announce a huge step towards a fully functioning banking-service platform tailored for the blockchain era. In line with our original intentions, the electronic money functionality is planned to be added to Bankera ecosystem through a partnership with Pervesk (the word “pervesk” means “to transfer” in Lithuanian) which is an electronic money institution licensed in EU since late 2017 and has the right to provide electronic money services across Europe with ambitions to grow into a bank one day. In a nutshell, Pervesk will provide a gateway to fiat currency payment services while Bankera and SpectroCoin will stick to virtual currency services.
Steps toward becoming a bank for the blockchain era
Next week, the Banker token will be listed on the HitBTC exchange and Bankera will enter a new stage of its lifecycle. Hence, we would like to remind you of our vision and attitude towards our goals. First of all, we always try to choose the right way, which is usually the hard way. The BNK token was not an exception, as it is one of a few tokens sharing net transactional revenue with its holders. There were no relevant smart contract examples in existence, so we had to develop it in-house.

Now you Can Withdraw your BNK Tokens
Today is an exciting day for Bankera and its community. After multiple audits to ensure the security of the BNK smart contract, Banker token owners are able to withdraw their BNKs to external wallets if they wish to. BNK token deposits are also now supported at spectrocoin.com. It means that Bankera’s ERC223 smart contract is already visible on the Ethereum blockchain and it is not long before BNK tokens will hit exchanges.
Audit of the BNK smart contract: security over speed
Since the beginning of Bankera’s project, security has been our main concern. This was reflected in our choice to use the ERC223 standard for the Banker (BNK) token source code, which was then fully developed by our team. Other companies could have opted for a quicker route and used other token codes to develop their own, but we knew this could result in potential security gaps, such as the ‘batch overflow’ bug recently discovered in several ERC20 smart contracts. Moreover, we are not creating a simple token, but a smart contract that distributes a net transactional revenue share weekly to BNK token holders, which has never been done by others. Thus, in addition to creating a unique source code for our BNK token, we have also submitted it for private and public audits to ensure its safety.
