WAVES is the native token powering the “make your own crypto” platform of the same name. With WAVES flirting with a top 50 CoinMarketCap ranking, the token itself is accepted as payment by businesses around the world, from a Berlin-based crypto-inspired fashion brand to an Oregonian hemp farm.

Who accepts Waves…

Are you an Entrepreneur, freelancer, or manager of a business accepting cryptocurrency?

Should you buy Waves?

Waves, at its core, is about creating your own token; it streamlines and simplifies the launching and management of new tokens. There’s no shortage of entrepreneurs interested in creating the next big crypto and some of them will be using Waves, so this may be an opportunity to sell shovels in, well, you know the saying… But even that may be selling Waves short, it’s also a “launch your own smart contracts” platform and smart contracts hold the potential of transforming the world the commerce — making it more fair and transparent. They also offer an “enterprise chain” — which enables larger businesses to create private blockchains. The WAVES token itself has performed well in recent history, its price has 10X’d in the past year, so it may be a wave you want to ride…

It has no “hard cap” or fixed supply like Bitcoin and it’s uncertain whether inflationary forces will intervene. It competes with the likes of Ethereum, a platform that’s birthed thousands of ERC-20 tokens. If Ethereum developers manage to fix their fee problem it will remain the go-to to make your own blockchain.
