# <center> [Buy EZIRA](www.ezira.io/crowdfunding) </center>

### <center> Ezira is running a preliminary Initial Coin Offering on Bitshares, using the asset EZIRA. Each unit will be converted to 1 EZIRA on the main net release. The crowdfunding campaign ends on the 1st of September. </center>

- EZIRA rewards: Every account that holds at least 1 EZIRA for 4 weeks and is active will earn EziraCoin rewards. 20% of issued EziraCoin will be distributed to EZIRA holders, to provide a reward for ownership.
- Network revenue: Ezira earns revenue from promoted posts, memberships, and trading fees. Proceeds are used to autonomously buy and burn EziraCoin. This increases the value of EziraCoin, and benefits all ecosystem participants. 
- Network Growth: Ezira offers incentives for new users to be introduced to the blockchain. The growth in users represents a growth in the value held in the EZIRA asset to access voting power and network resources.

## <center> Send bitshares or bitUSD to [ezira](https://exchange.ezira.io/#/account/ezira) to purchase EZIRA in the weekly auction, 5000 EZIRA will be split between bidders proportionately </center>
