Empowering the Centurion in All of Us
Revival of Nobility
Historically, intaglios were carved from hard stones for use as wax seals. Prominent individuals in the Roman Empire had their own unique intaglios, carved in amethyst, agate, garnet, jasper and cornelian, which served to identify and authenticate the letters they sent. The difficulty associated with carving hard gemstones made owning an intaglio, especially in the form of a signet ring, a mark of status. Finely carved intaglios were deemed the most desirable, not just because of the artistry involved, but because of how difficult this made the resulting wax seal to forge.
A new era of gemstone engravers began to emerge in the 15th century, when an interest in classical cultures merged with the exciting discovery of Roman artifacts in Italy. Later, during the Neo-classical movement of the 18th century, original Roman intaglios were hugely collectible, greatly admired and reflective of an elevated state of mind. This resulted in a surge of beautifully made copies in the 1800s, mostly for nobility across Italy, France, Germany and England. Despite the many centuries in between, these 19th century intaglios were made in almost the exact same way as those produced in the Roman Empire.
By the latter half of the 19th century, a preference for cameos saw intaglios get left behind. Improvements in the postal service and the introduction of postage stamps in 1840 made wax seals a relic of the past. Yet the spirit of intaglios – of identifying one’s self with a unique carving – can still be found in signet rings, which are enjoying a modern-day surge in popularity.
Intaglio on PulseChain
Intaglio (Ticker: CENT) is a token on PulseChain with zero special abilities, taxes, or tokenomics. Ultimately, the tokens value, appeal, and uniqueness is in its name and name alone. The reason it's special to its creator is that as a child I inherited an intaglio ring from my grandfather upon his passing. The funny part is that I grew up thinking it was a one-off piece and resembled more a Conquistador than a Centurion. Boy was I surprised to find out its history!
That being said, while Noble of spirit I am far from rich. There isn't a swindlers bone in my body, and my intent on doing this is simple, and yes a bit selfish, but of course with a twist: I like it, it's a stable preservation of assets on PulseChain in Liquidity Pools that only cost 10% to tie up, and ya never know... A whale (or bot) could come make CENT better than it began. God willing!
Liquidity is in PLS, HEX, PLSX, and INC pairs on V1 side, and I'm slowlybuying small amounts and redepositing into LP's, altogether still a small amount. This is why I ask, if any reading this are to throw a bone into the cap of Intaglio, provide it back into liquidity, please. The more folks are able to buy, the likelihood is better they buy more. Better for bags.
I've also locked all liquidity I've provided till October 7th, 2024, my birthday! If there's some participants in the symbolic Nobility that is Intaglio by then, I will simply burn the LP's to retain a floor. Not looking for anybody to lose. I'm currently holding about half the supply liquid, and will slowly DCA into LP, but want to assure that nobody pairs some dumb thing to just drain the reserves... Hoping to avoid nefarious actors. Fingers crossed!
About PulseChain
PulseChain is a blockchain project initiated by Richard Heart, who was also the founder of the HEX cryptocurrency. The aim of PulseChain was to create a new blockchain network that would incorporate several features and improvements compared to existing blockchains, particularly the Ethereum network.
Some of the key features that were envisioned for PulseChain included:
1) Energy Efficiency: PulseChain aimed to implement a proof-of-stake (PoS) consensus mechanism, which would consume less energy compared to the proof-of-work (PoW) mechanism used by Ethereum. This approach was expected to reduce the environmental impact associated with blockchain mining.
2) Lower Transaction Fees: PulseChain intended to offer lower transaction fees compared to Ethereum, making it potentially more accessible for users to interact with the network.
3) Compatibility: PulseChain aimed to be backward-compatible with the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) and smart contracts. This compatibility would allow developers to port their existing Ethereum projects easily to the PulseChain network, thereby expanding the ecosystem.
4) Airdrop of Tokens: PulseChain proposed an airdrop mechanism through which holders of certain cryptocurrencies, particularly Ethereum, would receive a proportionate amount of PulseChain's native token called Pulse (PLS). This airdrop was intended to incentivize participation and bootstrap the network's adoption.
