Elongate is a BEP20 token that runs on Binance Smart Chain Network (BSC). The first Elongate was minted in April 2021. The Chief Operations Officer (COO) of Elongate is Hasan Aziz along with Alexander Gambon as Chief Brand Officer (CBO). Elongate is a ‘meme coin’ that means it gets its origin from a meme. Elongate was minted after Tesla’s owner and founder Elon Musk jokingly tweeted on Twitter saying “If there’s ever a scandal about me, *please* call it Elongate” on 25 March 2021.
So, Elongate got its name from a tweet by Elon Musk, due to so much hype and attention within three days of existence Elongate’s value was increased by 1000%. We all know that Dogecoin is also a meme coin and one of the main reasons it got so much hype was also Elon Musk, but what makes Elongate different from Doge is that the Doge is an inflationary token which means that there is no maximum limit on the circulation of the coins in the market. Such coins could not keep up with their value because the supply sometimes overflows the demand especially when the coin itself is promoted by celebrities like Elon Musk and Snoop Dogg.
Whereas, Elongate is a deflationary token where there is a maximum supply of 1 quadrillion. The developers of Elongate burn the coins at regular intervals, this keeps the value of coins because the supply always keeps drowning.
Even though Elongate was inspired by a meme, one of the main goals of the organization includes working and donating to social causes. Every time a transaction takes place 10% of the fee is rewarded to the holders. Part of this revenue is donated to charity and social impact movements. Since Elongate was founded, within a year the organization has donated more than 3700000$ to charities. The organization believes in #CryptoUnited stating that the profits generated should be used for the people who need it the most.
