Franklin (Fly) Token is the Key to the Ecosystem of VRM

The FLy token was specifically designed to provide customers with an opportunity of getting discounts and other benefits from VRM and its ecosystem. The token will support a company’s development by building a strong society of retail and institutional partners around VRM, as well as involving investors in long-term relationships.

FLy is an ERC20 token. However, the company may move a part of the token supply to different blockchain networks in the future. For now, Franklin is an ecosystem token only for the VRM business, though. But it provides owners with Black Ocean transaction fee discounts and rebates.
