Well, what a year it was! Let’s start this post right – by thanking each and every one of you reading this who supported us through our initial development and growth phases. While the team at Black Tie are extremely proud of the developments we’ve achieved and the milestones we’ve conquered on our path to this point, we are even more proud of the amazing community who continue to support us in our endeavours to this very day. So - here’s to you!

Intro

Well, B4BIZ community, another month gone means another month closer to the listing! We're delighted to be able to bring you more news and updates from the world of B4BIZ, including an exclusive offer just for our supporters, a raft of exciting new partnerships, more news on the upcoming B4BIZ Academy and lastly - a very special competition! Let's dive right in...

Update on vesting opportunity

Now the announcement so many of you have been waiting for! How would you like the opportunity to support the B4BIZ platform as we move to the open market, and be rewarded for your commitment? Introducing... ZIPC Vesting!

The concept is simple. Remember fixed-term deposits? You'd leave your money locked up in a bank account for a set period of time, and in exchange, the bank would reward you with a set interest rate. The only problem? The banks just aren't that friendly these days - in fact, the average fixed-term deposit interest rate is just 0.3%! Not exactly what you'd 'term' a great return (sorry - we couldn't help ourselves)!

Fortunately, this isn't the world of legacy banking and traditional finance (or trad-fi, as it's now known in crypto circles). This is the exciting world of cryptocurrencies - and we have an offer that's going to blow those rates out of the water!

We are proud to be able to offer all our members a yield of 6% on a 12-month deposit (or stake, as it's known in the industry)! That's an incredible 20 TIMES the average from the big banks! Simply stake your coins by sending them to a particular wallet (or contract address), locking them up for 12 months, and when they're returned, you'll be sitting on an extra 6%! No need to predict market movements or pay attention to rates and trends - just a solid 6% gain! How good is that?

The reason is also simple. We know our B4BIZ community is built on trust, and we have faith that our members are as committed to the long-term success of the project as we are. However, the market is a fickle beast. By choosing to vest your tokens with us, we can actively show that our members are in it for the long haul, providing certainty and in turn attracting even more members to the platform. And since you're going to be helping build the overall success of the platform, we think you should be rewarded for it!

IMPORTANT NOTE - this offer is open to all B4BIZ members. However, should you be one of our Founder's Club members who have supported us since the beginning (meaning you acquired your ZIPC before April 2021), we have an exclusive offer just for you. Watch your emails - you'll be getting a very important one, very soon!

We'll be sending out information on how to take advantage of this fantastic opportunity shortly. Stay tuned - check our socials, and more importantly keep an eye on your email inbox - and we'll be in touch soon!
