IronBlock is a global decentralized platform designed to facilitate deals and optimize specialized machinery market services — with no middlemen involved. One of the key purposes of the platform is to ensure deal security and enable more transparency about the state of the machinery being sold — for all parties involved. The Problem: Today, conventional sale models for specialized machinery lack transparency and pose risks in both direct and distance sales. The price of used machinery on this market can run up from several tens of thousands US dollars to a few million US dollars, depending on its condition and original price. Validity of technical condition data for specialized machinery, combined with trust in the counterparty make up the key criteria for dealmaking on the market. Online listings and bulletins serve as the main communication channel between market players, and they don’t guarantee that condition data to be true or that equipment is available in the first place. The global specialized machinery sale, lease, and maintenance market potential for just construction, agriculture, and raw materials exceeds $1 trillion a year, with new machinery sales growing at around 6.5% a year. Yet direct online sales without middlemen only amount to no more than 2% of the entire market. The reason for a sales volume this low is primarily due to lack of trust between parties. This trust issue is being solved by major industrial auctions such as Ritchie Bros., Iron Planet and others. With that said, using these auction rings does impose a number of restrictions on machinery owners along with logistics expenses, as well as downtime and pre-sale preparation expenses. It stands to reason that none of the existing business models solve the trust issues present between market players globally, neither the solutions are easily scalable, and ultimately, one way or another, lead to additional expenses for both buyers and sellers. The Solution: The solution lies in creating a global decentralized blockchain platform, designed to uberize verification of machinery condition, as well as its maintenance, using local service centers and authorized agents. The IronBlock platform is designed to become exactly that.
The Solution
IronBlock is a global decentralized platform designed to optimize maintenance and machinery condition data verification processes, and provide ESCROW for specialized machinery sales.
A blockchain-based solution to the trust issues in the industry, uberizing lot verification and transaction processes, which allows faster scalability worldwide.

Tokens IRB
Prerequisites for the token value growth
- Our main goal is creating a global IT infrastructure for the special purpose and heavy machinery market where the IRB token will become one of the major payment units in such a way that it can be also profitably used for selling and leasing machinery, which should result in many-fold growth in the IRB token demand, raising its value respectively.
- The IRB token will be a payment unit for the in-platform services (certificate issue, access to the verified database, etc.) and fees following its launch.
As the platform transaction volume and the lot database grows, so will the token demand and its market value. - Development of the cryptocurrencies in the world will promote their use in the global economy and facilitate the shift to cryptocurrency payments between all players.
The market size for the major special purpose machinery segments exceeds the total IRB token emission at its current price by more than 20,000 times. - When the sufficient token liquidity is reached, the loyal platform users will benefit from saving tokens for later payments, which will cause a further increase in the IRB token deficit, raising its value.
- Following the ICO, the IRB token will be freely traded on exchanges. We intend to continuously increase the presence of the token on the biggest exchanges as the project develops.
- The ability to use IronBlock services at a discount, as well as loyalty programs and promotions, will be given only for IRB token payments.
