Working in tandem with the Government of The Bahamas, PO8 has been given the exclusive marine salvage license to excavate in Bahamian waters and use its blockchain technology to restore full transparency on all future shipwreck expeditions.

Putting these underutilized assets to work, PO8 is driving sustained and inclusive economic growth to the Bahamas. PO8 will hire divers during the lobster off season, and The PO8 Foundation, the custodial recipient of many of the artifacts, will create the Bahamas Archeological Treasure and Maritime Museum bringing additional economic activity worth $60 million per annum, and at peak some 100+ jobs.

PO8 will also restore any excavated area with artificial reefs, resulting in new ecosystems and marine life habit.

Our business model is primarily based on economic, social and sustainable impact. We partner with governments whereby they invest in policy and we provide technology and industry knowhow, thus creating a partnership with revenue share to benefit local economies.

We sell B2B and B2C. All of the big data is leased to gaming companies, mapping companies and R&D; teams. Our visual content will be contracted with production companies like Netflix, Discovery Channel, etc. On our NFT marketplace we sell directly to consumers, earning revenues on transactions and commission. At the museums, we will have numerous revenue streams like, entrance tickets, retail sales, tours and F&B.; Our educational products are a paid service for enterprises, but free for the general public. We also sell our exhibition services to museums and venues all over the world.

Our market size is a hybrid between public and private marine artifact salvage & conservation. The local Bahamian market size is around $100 Billion. Keep in mind the world has over 3 million shipwrecks.

No, you are not. The PO8 Foundation will take custody of all the artifacts for continued studies by the archaeology community and to be exhibited in various museums worldwide. You keep the non-fungible token (think digital title) with the value of the asset.

For example: Tom buys an artifact appraised for $25,000. Once payment is confirmed, Tom receives his non-fungible token (NFT) on his Ethereum cryptocurrency wallet. The NFT value is $25,000 and it represents the ownership of the artifact. Let's say a year later Tom decides to sell because he needs money for his son's college expenses. Tom can now upload that token to PO8 or a third party's NFT exchange to sell his token. Tom can then decide to sell his NFT at the price he sees fit.

Yes, you can but it is not a requirement. You can use other cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin and Ethereum on the PO8 NFT Marketplace. Users will be able to save on certain transaction fees if holding PO8 tokens in their cryptocurrency wallets.

No, we are a private start-up working on blockchain solutions for real problems governments are facing today.

For our first use case, we are working with The Bahamas. We have been endorsed by senior members of government, and we are the first marine salvage company to receive a salvage license from the government after an 18 years moratorium.

In the event we do not recover any treasures, we will have built a blockchain ecosystem available for many other archaeological endeavors worldwide. The same technologies powering search and rescue for shipwrecks and buried treasures can be used for finding other lost objects and perhaps solving some of our longest unsolved mysteries. Our open source decentralized apps will also provide individuals and enterprises with more cost effective and secure ways of distributing valuable assets.
