How Will the Miss Universe Coin Work?

Lim said the coin’s use case is replacing text votes, which is used to vote for candidates at the international pageant. This is called token voting in other crypto projects.

“Remember there were text votes before? Now only the holders of the token can vote. They will launch it around the world (at the same time as in) PBW.”

“And in support of our Miss Universe candidate, we will launch and hopefully everyone will support it.”
