The Agency for strategic development "CENTER" and its Co-founder Sergei Georgievskii have announced preparations for an initial public offering (IPO) alongside the issuance of digital assets. A key driver of the company’s valuation will be the launch of Urban Coin - a blockchain ecosystem designed to convert expert capital into a liquid digital asset. 

Capitalization and Asset Structure
Urban Coin is built on an asset-backed token model. Token issuance is directly linked to the Agency’s project portfolio - each token is secured by intellectual property, including research and master plans that have undergone professional validation.
The Agency’s IPO valuation is expected to be driven by projected revenues from managing this digital ecosystem, as well as transaction-based commissions generated within the platform.

How Urban Coin Works
The platform creates a closed-loop investment system that aligns incentives across all stakeholders:

• Proof-of-Activity Mining. Residents earn Urban Coin from municipalities or developers for measurable contributions to urban development - including participation in design workshops, environmental initiatives and verified voting. This mechanism transforms civic engagement into a tangible economic resource.
• Local Economy and Liquidity. Accumulated tokens can be used within the local economy - accepted by businesses such as cafés and service providers in exchange for goods and services. This drives customer loyalty, supports small businesses and ensures continuous circulation of value within neighborhoods.
•  Developer Incentives and Capital Flows. Developers and businesses acquire Urban Coin on the market to finance targeted urban improvement funds - parks, public spaces and community infrastructure.
  This approach delivers clear benefits:
  - The use of tokens provides formal evidence of participatory planning, accelerating approvals and public consultation processes.
  - Investments through Urban Coin improve ESG performance, unlocking access to preferential “green” financing.
• Smart Contracts in Urban Development. Funds are deployed through smart contracts. Once the required volume of Urban Coin is accumulated for a specific project - such as a sports facility or public space - the system automatically initiates implementation, reducing friction and increasing transparency.

IPO Objectives and Institutional Credibility
Capital raised through the IPO will be directed toward scaling the platform’s IT infrastructure and establishing an R&D center to expand Urban Coin across Russian regions and into international markets.
The expertise of the Agency for strategic development "CENTER" acts as a quality guarantee - ensuring that the digital asset is backed by real, professionally designed improvements in the urban environment.
