Ekta, a new cross-chain blockchain project that enables physical assets to be represented as digital analogues has shot into prominence after a 2,893,266,376 percent increase in value over the past seven days. The token's value surged from $0.00000001396 to $0.4039, as per CoinMarketCap data which means that an investment of Rs. 1,000 could ideally turn into returns Rs. 2,989.32 crore. The surge in the token's value appears to have happened shortly after the project finally launched its blockchain named EktaChain.

Ekta has managed to raised over $5 million (roughly Rs. 37.14 crore) in seed funding and private sales so far, but despite of the EKTA token's enormous rise in value, the price of the token has managed to climb to only a fraction of its all-time high of $10.42 (roughly Rs. 774). The Ekta token had reached its all-time high back in September 2021, after a 25 times rise within a short period.

Ekta will allow its users to tokenise this and more assets, ranging from utilities to properties located around the globe.

Unlike most token projects, Ekta's mission is to fuel the development of projects aimed at cleantech, smart tech, ocean startups, alternative medicines, permaculture, and aquaponics.
