VANTA — Decentralized Network for Real-time, Secure, and Private Connectivity

Website: https://vanta.network

VANTA

VANTA is looking to build an intelligent network for real-time networking, which enables individuals and companies to quickly develop services that can efficiently transmit and process real-time data, as well as commercialize the services at low cost without additional infrastructure. As a result, creative services will be provided and integrated within the VANTA ecosystem, and VANTA blockchain will be a practical blockchain that will greatly contribute to improving the daily lives of individuals and operations of enterprise businesses.

Real-time networking technology covers a wide range of areas. The technology can be used for messaging / file transfer / voice & video call development, large-scale real-time video streaming, and transmitting & processing various real-time data collected from IoT sensors. Besides addressing these problems through the VANTA blockchain, VANTA will provide and expand enterprise-level telecommunications network solutions to businesses and enterprise customers.

Using blockchain and cryptoeconomics designed for real-time networking, VANTA creates a system in which nodes participating in the network contribute to real-time data transmission and processing without relying on traditional centralized systems and networks. This system results in a low cost, functional blockchain based network. Anyone, regardless of existing platforms, can participate and use the network by using an API, an SDK, or modules to integrate with existing applications or platforms in use. VANTA, therefore, can easily expand the ecosystem through modules that integrate applications and platforms that require real-time networking.

Solution

VANTA will aim to solve the following problems through decentralized intelligent network based on blockchain technology.

1.Increasing Network Throughput and Cost

Current networks and infrastructures that support various real-time networking are reaching throughput limits. This means that companies will not be able to provide reliable services, since network and server costs will increase along with the increasing amount of data transmitted. VANTA will solve the throughput and cost issues by making the common computers and mobile devices around the world, whose performance rapidly increases each year, to contribute to real-time networking.

2.Real-Time Networking Development Costs and Problems with Centralized Services

Many companies are limited (or even fail) to developing real-time networking services because of the cost, time, and lack of skills required to develop and operate such services. As a result, an increasing number of companies are utilizing centralized API services that help develop real-time networking functions. Yet, there are some problems with centralized APIs. Once a centralized API is used, the fee increases significantly as the usage increases. Moreover, if an API provider suddenly changes policies, stops the API service without notice, or experiences temporary downtime, the company developing the services based on the provided API will be adversely affected. Also, because the data is stored on a centralized server, it can not be free from hacking or privacy issues. These problems can be solved by building a decentralized network for real-time networking that is not owned orcontrolled by anyone, and this can be used to provide various real-time networking APIs for companies.

3.Privacy concerns resulting from transferring and storing personal data

In the future, more diverse personal data will flow within the network to be transferred between devices, and will be stored in various centralized servers in order to provide a smooth service experience. However, if users can not know whether if the data is properly encrypted, transmitted, stored, and deleted from the server, users may become anxious due to various hacks as well as government & corporate surveillance. At the same time, personal data leakage will cause great damage. With a blockchain, however, it is possible to transparently confirm the process of transmitting / storing / deleting data. Decentralized nodes, in addition, transmit and store real-time data, which prevent hacking and excessive/malicious use of personal data.

4.Access to data generated by devices and the data usage fees

In the future, there will be an increase in the need to send and receive data in real-time between people and devices and between devices. In such a situation, it is necessary to have a system that can operate transparently and accurately according to the rules determined between the devices without human intervention for acquiring the data access permission automatically, configuring the temporary network for receiving the data, and paying the price for the data use. Therefore, VANTA intends to create an efficient system that can quickly and safely send and receive data in real-time by creating a competitive system that instantly configures networks according to each situation.

5.Trust in the communication between parties and trust in the data transferred from various devices

Currently, various products, stores, and media are evaluated and shared by people. People evaluate the purchase, use, and visitation of products, stores, and media, but there is no evaluation of people or the devices people are communicating with. In the future, there will be more and more real-time communication across people and devices, and credible evaluations will be needed. Trust will achieved in the future whether an individual is engaged in daily life or a company is conducting business.

VANTA Positioning & Competition

Positioning

VANTA is a blockchain specializing in real-time networking. It is a platform blockchain that can solve problems that general-purpose blockchains could not solve, and develop various services requiring real-time networking.

Ethereum or EOS can be classified as platform blockchains while Storj or Golem can be classified as specific-purpose blockchains. Among these blockchains, VANTA is the intelligent network platform that can be classified as both platform blockchain and specific-purpose blockchain. VANTA can be positioned vertically as follows.

Platform & Module

VANTA will build its own ecosystem as a platform blockchain, bringing a variety of real-time networking applications and services. However, VANTA will provide a core module in the form of an SDK and/or API to provide platform-independent access to the VANTA network. Therefore, all platforms and applications that want real-time networking capability can leverage these services, leading to the rapid expansion of the VANTA ecosystem.

Benefits of using VANTA

1.VANTA-based service developers

With VANTA, it is possible to develop and operate scalable, stable, and highly secure real-time networking services at a low cost. Developers can quickly and inexpensively develop real-time networking capabilities based on VANTA without building up a separate server or develop real-time networking from scratch. According to the staking based token economy, developers may utilize

VANTA’s network resources by staking VNT tokens. It is available at no cost, except for a small fee when VNT tokens are unstaked. If a developer does not have enough VNT tokens to secure the resources they need for their service, they have the option to create a policy requiring end users to stake VNT tokens for all or a portion of their own resource usage. In other words, developers and users can share staked VNT tokens to run a service. It enables to significantly reduce the development and operation costs of real-time networking related services.

2.VANTA-based service users

End users using VANTA-based services benefit from lower service costs and privacy. When a service developer stakes sufficient VNT tokens for the service’s network resources, end users usually do not have to stake VNT tokens for their own resource usage. However, if the service is set up for end users to stake VNT tokens to run the service as explained with the previous sections, each user needs to stake VNT tokens for their own resource usage.

Users can also easily create a VANTA account without a separate subscription procedure or authentication. This is possible because network participants communicate through an anonymous hash value that cannot be used to track their identity. Also, users can create a new account at any time, further assuring that an individual cannot be identified. Since there is no central control authority and all data is encrypted and transmitted between peers, it is impossible to provide communication records, data / media, etc. at the request of the central government or authorities. This means that it is possible to use secure, decentralized communication services without privacy problems.

3.Benefits for organizations from adopting VANTA as a telecommunication network

Because VANTA is specialized in real-time networking and has various communication functions, VANTA blockchain can be used by organizations such as governments, businesses, and schools that want to build their own elecommunication network. The VANTA blockchain telecommunication network can be built quickly and cost-effectively without the need for a separate server or infrastructure.

VANTA will also provide direct consulting and customized development for cases in which the government, company, or school, etc. has technical difficulties using VANTA as a telecommunication network. Therefore, it is possible for each organization to build an optimized blockchain based network.

VANTA Blockchain & Consensus Algorithm

The Need for a New Consensus Algorithm

Because VANTA is a blockchain designed for processing real-time networking tasks, a new consensus algorithm is needed for effectively processing it. Previous consensus algorithms were based on Proof-of-Work or Proof-of-Stake and wasted compute power, and thus was unsuitable for use with VANTA. Therefore, VANTA aims to use the computing power and network resources of network nodes to be used for real-time networking, and merge proof for those tasks with block generation and consensus algorithms to create a consensus algorithm optimized for VANTA.

PoN-VRBFT Consensus Algorithm

VANTA has created an algorithm called Proof of Networking that allows each node to contribute to real-time data transmission, processing, and storage in the network competitively. This was combined with Byzantine Fault Tolerance (BFT) and Verifiable Random Functions (VRF) to design a unique consensus algorithm called PoN-VRBFT.

VANTA Token Distribution

The VANTA network consists of 56.2 billion VANTA (VNT) tokens. A total of 35% will be raised via token sales. 10% of tokens will be given to the team who are core contributors for VANTA Network. Most of the portion of the budget will be dedicated to developing for the performance optimization and further function development.The VANTA (VNT) tokens shall be distributed as the following.

Platform compared to others

There are currently 2 major P2P cryptocurrency exchanges on the market. Below, we compare the features of those exchanges with the features that the Platform will support.

The Platform

The operation of the Platform

BTV token

The BTV token will be created on an Ethereum platform which follows the ERC-20 protocol. ERC-20 protocol is a widely used protocol for blockchain developers across the world. ERC-20 includes a list of rules which Ethereum tokens should implement.

The BTV tokens will be blockchain assets having value which can be received and sent to any person with a valid wallet address. The BTV tokens will be available for trading on various cryptocurrency exchanges.

If a user would like to pay Platform’s exchange fees by using BTV tokens, the average market value of the BTV tokens will be applied for payment purposes.

The allocation of BTV tokens

All BTV tokens will be distributed into five major groups, namely, Investors, BitValve Ltd, Risk Mitigation, Advisors and Bounty, which will get the following percentage of the total number of BTV tokens:

Investors: Investors will receive a large portion (70%) of all BTV tokens because the financial resources provided by them will be of utmost importance for (i) the launch of the ICO and (ii) the development of the Platform and the associated BTV token.

BitValve Ltd: BitValve Ltd will receive 15% of all BTV tokens in exchange for setting up, organising and managing the Project.

Risk Mitigation: 12% of all BTV tokens will be stored for risk mitigation purposes. The Tokens will be traded only if extra funding is really mandatory.

Advisors: Some of the advisors will receive 1% of all BTV tokens for providing advice in relation to the Project, such as business, marketing, technological, and legal advice.

Bounty: 2% of all BTV tokens will be used to reward influencers who have spread information about the pre-ICO and the ICO through various channels including, without limitation, social networks, online news, and blog posts.

xDAC Platform — Place To Start and Manage Decentralized Companies

Website: https://www.xdac.co

xDAC Platform aggregates three components together in one place, automates them, so system is beneficial for company and their customers. Companies have control over their governance, finances and their respective team. Business partners have confidence that companies they deal with are reliable and solvent by using a transparent system of governance and dispute resolution. An xDAC Platform is focused on creating a comprehensive framework for entrepreneurs, teams, autonomous agents or investors in crypto space who can benefit from decentralization.

xDAC helps owners to operate a transparent decentralized company in front of their investors. Company owners can manage their team, tokens and financials, and securely store data on a decentralized ledger. Automated governance and dispute resolution will add to the speed of business evolvement and reward systems will make companies and their teams more productive, efficient, and motivated.

xDAC is an entity created and operated on decentralized digital ledger by one or multiple human or Autonomous Agent owners or a mixture of both that share a common purpose and unites in order to focus their various talents and organize their collectively available skills or resources to achieve specific, declared goals.

Decentralized company owns capital and other, primary digital, assets. It can also collaborate with other partners or businesses inside and outside of decentralized network – making it a highly versatile entity.

Such a company exists as long as it is able to self-update its most basic components and continue being recognized as the same entity or until it decides to terminate its existence.

For customers

• Fast and automated dispute resolution: xDAC provides arbitration system for any given dispute between two parties which allows arbitrators to resolve dispute based on documents provided by applicant and defendant very quickly.
• Liability fund that can cover company’s debts or liabilities: Liability Fund is liability coverage in case of the xDAC’s debts or liabilities. It is created as percentage from received payment that is stored on separate wallet until
  certain limits are reached.
• Transparency: Ownership in public xDAC organization is transparent and transferable. Voting token holdings are public, and owners have the right to transfer ownership to another party. There are four transparent functions of
  ownership built into public xDAC:
  (a) List all voting token holders (and their holdings)
  (b) Issue tokens, arbitrarily or with parameters
  (c) Sell or transfer tokens
  (d) Issue new non-voting tokens

For businesses

• Same governance across entire platform
• Control over teams and finances
• Easy fundraising
• xDAC platform profits distributed back to xDAC’s, not to other projects
• No local government registrations and interference
• Less administrative adherence, more time to focus on business

Architecture

Ecosystem can be viewed as several distinct technological layers strategically connected together.

EOS Platform

Among the decentralized smart contract platforms, EOS is the most advanced, feeless, blockchain platform. Only in its testing phase, the growing developer community is in the midst of testing on top of the EOS platform, creating a vibrant ecosystem of second layer protocols and projects.

Scalability in a secure blockchain environment has become a hot topic in the industry and one that must be addressed. EOS is scaled to perform tens of thousands of transactions per second while other blockchains are seemingly congested with smaller projects.

xDAC Platform (Core)

xDAC Platform is the public’s smart contracts layer which provides an open-sourced implementation of the key components creating not only an environment but the governance for decentralized applications (DApps) and Autonomous Agents to be built on.

The xDAC platform will be generating revenue from fees that will be used to reward the most productive xDACs based on their PoW performance rating to incentivize their productivity on xDAC platform.

Account Types

Three types of accounts will exist on xDAC Platform:

1. New xDAC: By creating an xDAC, owners will create a new company and are permitted to add team members, set their privileges, issue tokens, and other functions related to xDAC management.
   xDACs can make their information public and distribute tokens to the public through ICOs or any other public offering. xDAC will become an automatically transparent to investor accounts. Investors will have full access to review company processes and may vote from their investor account which, in turn, makes future ICOs more secure.
2. Team Member: This account is design for company employees, contractors, freelancers or autonomous agents looking to join a specific xDAC team or any other team looking to hire new members into their team.
3. Investor: From access to the database of public xDACs to information about their teams, productivity, financials, investors have the power to vote from their xDAC account.

xDAC Ownership and Token Issuance

With creation of xDAC, owners have option to issue a certain number of voting or non-voting tokens and distribute tokens between the owners/public through ICOs or token sale. Issuance of tokens will be performed through smart contract on the EOS platform.

Wallets and Payment Processing

xDAC platform will provide xDAC with two hot wallets as well as two hot wallets for each team member for XDAC Tokens.

xDAC Wallets: One wallet is for operational transactions accessible to xDAC owners or to authorized team members. The second wallet will be liability fund.

More wallets can be provided to xDACs to store their own company tokens or other tokens they receive as payment for their goods or services.

Team Member Wallets: Primary wallet team members use for receiving payroll salary whereas the second wallet will be retirement fund.

xDAC Payment Processing will be automatically available within each xDAC wallet. Every time xDAC receives payment, payment to liability fund will be subtracted from proceeds.

xDAC Liability Fund

An xDAC Liability Fund is coverage in case the xDAC’s debts or liabilities exceed a certain debt-to-equity ratio. It is calculated as a percentage of received payments stored in a separate wallet until certain threshold is reached. Liability fund is not accessible to owners during the company’s existence and is available for transfer 90 days after the company is ceased or transferred to new owner. Default settings on percentage and limits will be specified later; however it can be changed by xDAC owners and it is entirely in their power to establish a liability fund limit based on their business type. When setting up liability fund it is advised to set higher limit to avoid company freeze when small disputes are initiated.

xDAC Client

xDAC Client is a user interface that aggregates all available DApps and Autonomous Agents in one place. The initial plan is to build website and desktop applications for easier interaction with xDAC Platform.

Listed applications might not be available with initial releases and could be added in different order as work on project progresses. Here are some of DApps features:

Company Overview

To maintain xDAC culture across all owners and team members, it is important to specify xDAC name, company vision, social profiles, contact information, targeted customers, brand identity and other important company information related to brand and company goals.

Voting, Bylaws and Company Assets

Each xDAC will have the option to issue specified amount of voting or non-voting tokens at creation and split tokens between owners or launch token sale or ICO. All issued tokens are compliant with the ERC23 token standard
which means that stakeholders’ addresses can be linked to a name or tag or fetched by a secure identity provider.

1. Voting
   Each owner of xDAC issued voting tokens have right to vote for ideas or important company decisions. In case of voting, new task is assigned to token owners in their account where each owner of voting token can vote. Voting is governed by a DAO concept.
2. Bylaws
   Owners are able specify their own bylaws as the rules of an xDAC, established by the board of owners during the process of starting an xDAC.
3. Company Assets
   List of company assets and their value can speed up a company sale, acquisition or liquidation. The list will be
   available to all xDAC owners.

Team

xDAC team consist of team members (employees, contractors, freelancers or autonomous agents, etc.) that can work from same or remote locations. Initially, the company can hire team members after signing up for a membership account.

Designed for xDAC team members, managers will add each company’s personnel to hierarchy. With placing team member into xDAC hierarchy, each employee will get privileges allocated to specific xDAC functions tailored to their responsibilities.

Furthermore, the user interface will let owners choose the amount to pay, the frequency, the tokens to reward, and the parameters. This is to safeguard the company in case xDAC doesn’t want to pay certain employees based on assigned tasks. Team members are paid in XDAC tokens.

Project management

Project and task management is an important part of xDAC DApp ecosystem. It is the productivity DApp that forces leaders to manage their team effectively. Each assigned task has price options in XDAC tokens which keeps the team motivated while increasing token usability. Project management DApp provides the option to create projects, task lists and tasks and assign tasks to any team member.

Wallet

The most important part of each company is payment processing and digital wallet. xDAC Platform will create wallet for each xDAC upon company establishment. Wallet will contain merchant features like a “Buy Now” button and streamlined billing. The “Buy Now” button can be placed on the company’s website and billing options allow for the creation of invoices.

New xDACs will have to establish a liability fund from received payments used to back disputes resolutions and/or fraud.
Payments can be accepted in different crypto currencies and converted by using third party services like ShapeShift or atomic swaps. The third party payments can be easily integrated for currencies that support this option.

The most important feature of Wallet is keeping track of all financial transactions, dates, and notes in key financial reports.

xDAC Foundation

xDAC Platform and xDAC client is developed by xDAC Foundation – the current team responsible for development and deployment of the xDAC project. xDAC Foundation initiates fund raising through XDAC Token and proceeds will be transferred to the foundation to finance further development.

XDAC Token

XDAC token is a platform currency representing value and wealth in the decentralized economy used for exchange of values between xDAC companies, employees, customers and other third-party entities.

The token will be used on the xDAC Platform for dispute resolutions, pay team members, accept payments for services, profit distribution, and incentivize development.

XDAC tokens are ERC-223-compatible tokens distributed on the Ethereum blockchain pursuant to a related ERC-223 smart contract. Ethereum tokens distributed in the ICO phase are pre-existing tokens and will be migrated to another protocol on the EOS platform.

The Ethereum XDAC Tokens do not have any rights, uses, purpose, attributes, functionalities or features, express or implied, including, without limitation, any uses, purpose, attributes, functionalities or features on the xDAC Platform.

XDAC COIN SALE

LocalCoinSwap — decentralised crypto marketplace

Website: https://www.localcoinswap.com/

LocalCoinSwap — a decentralised crypto marketplace, owned by the community

Directly trade any cryptocurrency, using any conceivable payment method, in any geographical location

Problem Overview

Cryptocurrencies and other digital assets are revolutionising the financial ecosystem.

Unfortunately the growth of the cryptocurrency economy has been fraught with friction from the banking system. Hostile regulatory environments and conservative institutions have closed the accounts of traders and exchanges en-masse, spread contention in the media, and forced the implementation of onerous erification procedures which have transgressed the privacy of the community.

The rise of cryptocurrencies has created huge economic and investment opportunities. However, many people remain on the sidelines due to lack of patience or tech-savviness, inefficient and lengthy subscription processes, and security concerns. Opening up trading accounts on exchanges can be an especially difficult task for users.

Many exchanges restrict the registration of new accounts or require users to expose themselves to identity fraud and theft by submitting pictures of their passports and personal documents online.

Existing P2P markets are also highly fragmented and non-inclusive. Traders who wish to buy and sell outside the top few cryptocurrencies must access both a P2P exchange and a centralised mainstream exchange. At present there lacks a single mainstream P2P marketplace which allows more than one cryptocurrency to be traded for fiat currency simultaneously.

This has created additional onerous fees for users whose only desire is to purchase a non-mainstream cryptocurrency with fiat cash as their starting point, as they must utilise more than one exchange and pay all associated fees to complete their purchase. They must also pay the transaction fees involved in withdrawal from one marketplace to another. This increases not only user inconvenience and wallet software requirements, but also user exposure to platform failure or hacking.

Giant monopolies now dominate the cryptocurrency exchange market counterintuitively to the very fundamental global economic inefficiencies that blockchain technology has the ability to solve.

Solution

The digital ecosystem is here to stay, and the mainstream economy is beginning to embrace the ideas of decentralisation and unrestricted trade.

LocalCoinSwap represents a return to the most fundamental system of asset exchange without reliance on mainstream institutions — the P2P trade. By enabling P2P trading of all digital currencies LocalCoinSwap will put the market back into the hands of its users, allowing them to directly trade any cryptocurrency using any conceivable payment method in any geographical location.

There is currently a gap in the cryptocurrency market creating an unserviced demand. Across community forums and social media sites in which traders participate, it is a common frustration that users are unable to quickly or easily purchase non-mainstream cryptocurrencies. Users also express repeated concerns about overseas banking transfers and onerous verification procedures.

The LocalCoinSwap infrastructure will close this gap in the market, not only by offering a P2P exchange for all cryptocurrencies, but by also tokenizing ownership of the exchange itself into the hands of its users through the world-first Cryptoshare system.

The LCS Cryptoshare system utilises blockchain technology to replicate traditional company ownership through shares in a more secure and decentralised manner. Much like the issuance of regular shares and profits distributed through dividends, LocalCoinSwap issues Cryptoshares which entitle holders to regular redeemable dividend tokens. Unlike a traditional financial organization the ownership and dividend structure of LocalCoinSwap is hosted entirely on the Blockchain, providing a publicly auditable and unforgeable ledger of the company’s financial performance.

LCS Cryptoshares allow all traders on the exchange to take ownership in the platform they are trading on. Despite the straightforward nature of this concept, LocalCoinSwap is the first ever implementation of an exchange where the profits are distributed entirely through a smart contract Cryptoshare system, with the initial launch planned by August 2018.

LocalCoinSwap Cryptoshares

LCS Cryptoshares are not like traditional ICO tokens.

Cryptocurrency profits are paid to shareholders in the same cryptocurrencies in which they are made, allowing the investor to receive a regular stream of portfolio income. By holding a single Cryptoshare asset, the investor is entitled to a wide variety of cryptocurrency profits across the entire spectrum of the digital economy.

Cryptoshare holders are also entitled to receive airdrops of new tokens when ICO’s are listed on the LocalCoinSwap platform.

In addition, LCS Cryptoshares entitle the holder to voting rights in the platform’s decision-making process, such as the listing of new tokens on the exchange, the direction of new business ventures and design considerations or functionalities for the platform. Cryptoshares in LocalCoinSwap are more than just a stream of dividends, by investing you become an integral part of the future of the exchange itself.

How it works

Dividend and voting tokens

Profits from the exchange are calculated and distributed at the end of each fiscal period. The total issuance of dividend and voting tokens will be the same as the total supply of LCS Cryptoshares. These tokens are then issued to holders of LCS Cryptoshares on a 1-to-1 ratio.

When dividend and voting tokens are redeemed they are destroyed by the contract they are broadcast to in order to prevent malicious attempts to claim extra funds or manipulate votes. LocalCoinSwap contracts holding non-issued Cryptoshares (such as the security bounty or venture-fund contract) automatically burn all voting tokens they are issued.

Currencies offered as dividend payment

LocalCoinSwap will launch with as many of the most traded cryptocurrencies as development time allows. The initial launch aims for a minimum of the leading 10 cryptocurrencies. The platform will add new cryptocurrencies at a constant rate in order to encompass the majority of the cryptocurrency market.

LCS Cryptoshares will entitle users to a vote in the listing priority of new currencies through a direct democracy contract using their voting tokens.

LocalCoinSwap recognises that the cryptocurrency economy is a constantly changing environment with new assets emerging on a regular basis. By actively engaging with the holders of Cryptoshares, LocalCoinSwap will implement the coins which the community wishes to trade.

Airdrops of new ICO token listings

LocalCoinSwap provides a listing service for new ICO tokens to allow them to launch on the LocalCoinSwap platform or raise pre-ICO and presale funding.

The requirement for listing new ICO tokens is that holders of LCS Cryptoshares receive an airdrop of some proportion of the new tokens in advance. These airdrops are automatically distributed through the same mechanism as the dividend and voting tokens. The specific requirements for new ICO tokens to list on the LocalCoinSwap platform will be decided through the proof-of-stake voting system.

The requirement for new ICO tokens wishing to raise pre-ICO funding is that LocalCoinSwap users and Cryptoshare holders must be entitled to special discount offerings.

The expansion of LocalCoinSwap to provide a comprehensive listing service for new ventures to perform pre-ICO, presale and ICO is a fundamental priority for the platforms development after initial launch.

Decentralisation of ownership

Cryptoshares owners are valuable members of the LocalCoinSwap community. As such, they are entitled to provide input in all facets of site development, new business ventures, as well as having complete ownership of their respective share of profits. These voting rights include uses of the sites revenue. No significant new ventures will be undertaken without a vote amongst holders of the public issuance.

All holders who wish to participate will vote in a proof-of-stake system handled by the issuance of a voting asset which can then be used in a public and transparent democracy contract. The democracy contract is open source and the outcome of votes publically tallied.

Transparency

LocalCoinSwap will provide an open and transparent exchange to its shareholders. The blockchain itself will provide an unforgeable record of all dividend payouts to Cryptoshare holders. LocalCoinSwap will have a continuous, transparent, and blockchain-based overview of all cryptocurrency revenues generated and to be distributed.

Each monthly Cryptoshare holder announcement will detail developments of the exchange and issues which will be voted on by Cryptoshare holders before the next announcement. These issues will include new-venture projects, new coins added to the exchange, design considerations, and more. Cryptoshare holders may submit questions to be voted on through the platform’s integrated community forum.

Cryptoshare ICO Issuance

Allocation of Cryptoshares

Crowdsale bonus structure

The presale period will run with a bonus allocation of 40%. The presale will be closed immediately if 10,000,000 Cryptoshares are distributed. During the crowdsale period funding milestones have been set at each $5,000,000 increment.

As each increment is reached all existing purchasers of the crowdsale event receive an additional 5% airdrop of Cryptoshares to be distributed once the crowdsale closes. These airdrops are also distributed to presale purchasers, but not to Cryptoshares held by the development team, security/bounty fund & new venture fund.

• $5,000,000 of funding reached: All existing Cryptoshare crowdsale investors receive 5% additional Cryptoshares.
• $10,000,000 of funding reached: All existing Cryptoshare crowdsale investors receive 5% additional Cryptoshares.
• $15,000,000 of funding reached: All existing Cryptoshare crowdsale investors receive 5% additional Cryptoshares.
• $20,000,000 of funding reached: All existing Cryptoshare crowdsale investors receive 5% additional Cryptoshares. Residual tokens are then destroyed to increase total value to all investors.

Capital Technologies & Research — First Decentralized Private Communication Solution

Website: https://www.mycapitalco.in/

Capital Technologies & Research decentralized the private voice calling and massaging hemishere

It is no news that the world today communicates through private voice calling and messaging. With over 6 trillion dollars made in revenue annually, the telecommunication’s industry is one of the largest industries in the world, and continues to evolve towards the direction of centralization, as it has done from inception.

We cannot do without telecommunication, calls and messaging; and the many advantages of telecommunication include the ability to stay in touch with friends and family and to keep up with many aspects of business and commerce.

The benefits of telecommunication cannot be under estimated. In fact, without telecommunication, the internet and the blockchain technology would not exist voice, data wireless or fixed communication would not exist; as would audio or video broadcasting.

---

Now imagine the same telecommunications on the blockchain technology, defined here as a peer-to- peer distributed ledger (in-formation recorded in a shared database) that enables open and trusted exchanges over the internet without central servers or an independent trusted authority, allowing for transparent, verifi-able, and secure digital asset transactions with both proofs of rights and ownership.

If the current trend of the telecommunication’s industry continues and is not disrupted with blockchain technology, all the power and resources in the industry will land into the hands of a few. To buck this trend, Capital Technologies & Research is building a digital ecosystem for the future. Capital Technologies & Research is lead-ing the way in innovation, and is set to change the economic and social landscape of digital media and communications worldwide, with with the goal of laying a foundation and telecommunications eco-system of massive growth and potential.

---

Capital Technologies & Research will be manufacturing a computerized environment for what is to come, and is poised to revolutionize communication between users. By relaying communication between multiple random nodes in order to decentralize private voice calls and messages, making it more accessible and cheaper for users.

The number of smartphones in the world today exceeds 8 billion, held by about 5 billion smartphone users, who use private voice calling and messaging. It is our aim to reduce all monthly fees to users and replace revenues currently generated from charging users of private voice calling and messaging monthly by revenues from digital advertising.

Being the first decentralized private voice calling and messaging provider, Capital Technologies & Research will evolutionize the current telecommunication industry, changing the economic and social landscape of digital media and communications worldwide.

A DECENTRALISED E-COMMERCE ECOSYSTEM

Emphasis is on creating a decentralized e-commerce ecosystem on the Blockchain. What this means is that there is a no central server, no middlemen and that the system works fully encrypted. In order to capture a variety of users, have designed a scalable plat-form that is a simple, yet effective ecosystem over the Ethereum Blockchain, where users can engage using a decentralized private voice calling and messaging system.

To help achieve maximum reach, have also designed our platform as an Open Enterprise API Platform. This means that there is a self-service aspect to using our platform, and users can self-register. With this, have the ability to reach and serve hundreds of thousands of users, thereby making Capital Coins a truly universal exchange environment.

Because smartphones and tablets are now the focal point, more than laptops and PC’s, are also bringing the competitive edge through our design, as an Open Enterprise API Platform; this allows us to hide the complexity of our backend systems and only bring to the forefront the functionality of our data in a consumable way. Be-cause of this, the Capital Technologies & Research Platform is fully flexible, scalable and secure.

HOW CAPITALCOIN WORK

Capital Technologies & Research will provide its users with unlimited private voice calling and messaging services.
Masternodes will be involved in voice calling between its users as relays, and will come with 4 levels of anonymity:

Masternodes will be rewarded for their contribution to the network for relaying data with a variable reward per minute, and users will decide which path to choose based on considerations such as price and speed.

The The overriding ambition of Capital Technologies & Research is to drastically reduce and, if possible, eliminate all monthly fees to users. The revenues that are today generated from users of private voice calling and messaging service will be replaced by revenues from digital advertising, thus allowing Capital Technologies & Research and its Coin holders to earn revenues of Capital (CALL) / CapitalGAS (CALLG) while eliminating costly monthly mobile phone bills.

Unlike Unlike centralized telecom carriers who charge monthly fee for private voice calling and messaging usage, international roaming and overage usage, Capital Technologies & Research will charge no monthly fees.

The vision is to create and operate the first decentralized private voice calling and messaging provider that will disrupt and thrive within the current telecommunication industry.

Capital Capital (CALL) and CapitalGAS (CALLG) in crowdsale are based on ERC20, with an advanced smart con-tract algorithm that will calculate usage. It can be used to transfer funds, remittances, make payments,
B2C, etc. After crowdsale ends and main network launch, both CALL and CALLG will be minable.
