Soarcoin is an Ethereum-based token that was created by a company in Singapore called Soar Labs. Soarcoin's total supply has already been released. Since it can not be mined, the price of the SOAR token will be completely dependent on supply and demand. The company's marketing materials place an emphasis on low transaction fees, privacy, and fraud protection, but it does not appear to offer any noticeable benefits to other cryptocurrencies. Soar Labs also has plans to create a cryptocurrency exchange called Soar Ex, that will focus on the Southeast Asian market.
