CEO and Chief Architect Bruno Block just released a Medium article with details about an upcoming token airdrop for all PRL holders. The coin is called Oyster Shell (SHL), and here' a brief overview:
"Today I am introducing Oyster Shell (SHL). Shells are used to pay for connectivity and Dapp operation across the Oyster meshnet, whilst Pearls are used for static data retention on the tangle. Shell is not pegged to storage like how Pearl is. In the future you will be able to use Shells to access the decentralized web, connectivity that entirely bypasses ISPs and centralized infrastructure."
This is big news for all PRL holders and the news has already reflected the charts. As of today, the test net is also available for users to get their hand son feel with. If you're interested in giving the test net a spin - here's how:
(max upload size atm: 100kb)
Log in here with the following details:
Username: everyone
Password: buyoysterpearl
Currently all uploads are free (whereas on mainnet you would pay Oyster to save your file on the tangle)
I'm excited to see the future for this pearl of a coin!
This is going to be a hot coin, it is the first of its kind
I think so too - it has a working product and the internet is it's oyster - pun intended :)
Big fan of the project and personally invested - It's poised for a big 2018!
I am also exited about PRL. Market is going very well for PRL.
