SPIN Protocol is a decentralized commerce ecosystem that directly connects suppliers and influencers using blockchain technology.

E-commerce business remains to be highly promising with the expected market size of $4.8 trillion in 2021.01However, the critical problems have detected in the sector. Conventional e-commerce conglomerates have been exerting monopolistic power, causing inefficiency and disadvantages for market players. Suppliers suffer from excessive commissions, unreasonable requests for price discount, and inefficient marketing/PR expenses. Consumers, ironically, have a limited access to product information due to excessive promotional contents, which are easily manipulated.

In response to such defects of the traditional e-commerce model, influencer marketing has emerged.

Unlike the product information provided by conventional e-commerce services, influencer-generated contents contain user voices and deliver their unique viewpoints, thus perceived as more reliable and practical by everyday customers. Suppliers have shifted from conventional marketing to influencer marketing to utilize such advantages to reach target audience. In recent years, influencers have become an alternative yet powerful marketing channel for suppliers. Also, influencers who have a significant number of audience on social media now utilize their social media as a sales channel, directly selling products to their followers.

However, as simple and as convenient as it sounds, current influencer marketing also has its weakness. First, there are issues caused by intermediaries for both suppliers and influencers. For example, agencies connecting influencers to suppliers ask excessive fees for both parties. The cost is even higher for suppliers: they need to pay not only the commission but also overly-priced fees for contents source and casting once connected to one.

No transparency is another problem. For example, accurate conversion rates over a marketing campaign and assessment data of an influencer’s sales performance is next to impossible. Also, the reliability of influencer is often questioned due to the widespread practice of acquiring fake followers and/or fake activities. On the other hand, for influencers, it is difficult to guarantee fair rewards and to earn constant profits from the marketing campaigns they participate in.

We aim to solve these problems by utilizing blockchain technology and start a new era of decentralized commerce (“D-commerce”). We plan to achieve this goal by eliminating any intermediaries that hinder the transparent and fair market plays and by providing technical supports to operate commerce business easily for independent influencers.

SPIN Protocol’s six core values are: Globalization, Open Participation, Fair Distribution, Transparency, Direct Relationship, and True Reputation.

This document informs subscribers of the CryptoFranc Bond in accordance with article 1156 of the Swiss code of obligations and documents the terms of the bond.

The CryptoFranc Bond 2019-07 (XCHF 2019-07) is a fixed term bond with automatic renewal / rollover clause issued on the Ethereum blockchain by Swiss Crypto Tokens AG (SCT). One blockchain-based bond token is worth one Swiss Franc (CHF) at maturity, creating a 1:1 relationship between XCHF and CHF (1 XCHF = 1 CHF).

The main purpose of the CryptoFranc is to serve as a liquidity instrument for the Swiss crypto ecosystem. For example, a Bitcoin (BTC) trader could use it to temporarily transfer funds into CryptoFrancs or a Swiss startup could use it to raise funds in its accounting currency instead of using volatile crypto currencies. It is neither intended to be used as a long-term storage of Swiss Francs, nor to be used as a means of payment for everyday transactions.

The Bond has a term of one month. If the bondholder does not explicitly choose to redeem the bond at maturity, it converts into the subsequent CryptoFranc Bond 2019-08 (XCHF 2019-08) free of charge. In the rollover case, no action needs to be taken by the bond holders as the smart contract of the previous bond is reused with adjusted terms. The subsequent bond might again be exchanged under similar conditions, potentially creating a long chain of short-term bonds managed by the same smart contract. The terms of the subsequent bonds are announced early enough (typically about two weeks in advance) to allow the bond holder to reach an informed decision on whether he/she wishes to actively redeem or to passively convert his/her holdings into the subsequent bond. Such announcements are done on the website: www.swisscryptotokens.ch (where the prospectus is published) as well as on the blockchain by emitting an according event.

The interest rate of the CryptoFranc Bond 2019-07 is 0% p.a. Subsequent CryptoFranc Bond series might come with a negative interest rate set at the sole discretion of the issuer, within 1% below the Swiss National Banks (SNB) average rate on sight deposits. Such interests are applied by means of “melting”, which is a contractually agreed and automatically enforced, gradual destruction of a fraction of the bond that corresponds to the interest rate. SCT plans to keep the interest of at least the next three series of the bond at 0% p.a.

Issuance and redemption are subject to a fee, set to 0.2% for XCHF 2019-07.
Like other innovative financial products, the XCHF comes with various known and unknown risks. While it is designed to be much less risky than traditional crypto currencies such as Bitcoin or Ether, it is not risk-free. While SCT holds capital reserves to back the bond with real value and currently has equity worth CHF 1’000’000, it cannot be ruled out that these reserves deteriorate in value, leading to a bankruptcy of SCT and a subsequent loss for the bond holders. SCT will be audited by Grant Thornton Bank Audit Ltd., Zürich.

SCT regularly publishes a report of its reserve holdings and changes therein, allowing bond holders to reassess the risks. For this issuance of the bond, the reserves will be fully held in cash only (physical bank notes in bunkers or book money in bank accounts).

Further information about the bond can be found on the websites of the issuer (www.swisscryptotokens.ch).

INTRODUCTION
Authors of Driven: How Human Nature Shapes Our Choices, Paul Lawrence and Nitin Nohria, posit that there are four core human drives that profoundly influence our everyday decision making. These are the desires to acquire; to bond; to defend; and to learn. Despite the text’s accuracy, both Lawrence and Nohria overlook a fundamentally overlook a core human drive: the desire to feel. The desire to feel relates to emotions of anticipation, excitement, or pleasure; the feelings that we as humans crave when we watch movies, listen to music or support our favourite sports teams.

When these core human drives are unmet, a market will form to fill that vacuum. This inherent desire to feel, accompanied by technological advancements, and an increasingly connected world, has resulted in the entertainment sector growing at an exponential rate. According to PwC, the global entertainment industry’s revenue reached a staggering $1.8 trillion in 2017. By 2020, it is forecasted to reach $2.2 trillion!

The video game market has grown to a $135 billion-dollar industry. It is quickly becoming one of the largest entertainment verticals in the world, which is greater than the music and film industries combined. Its emergence as a powerhouse in mainstream entertainment has given rise to a new type of spectator sport that combines professional gaming with the competitive edge of traditional sports: esports or electronic sports, or esport (singular).

Bitcoin will always be one of the most innovative developments in the history of money. Bitcoin, as the first decentralized digital asset, proved that it is possible for something intangible, with no issuer and no backing, to have a trillion-dollar market. The popularity of Bitcoin as a payment network and a new kind of money not only attracted fintech pundits, but also traders and investors looking to exchange fiat money to digital assets in hopes of making a profit as prices advance.

Because of the demand for digital assets, Bitcoin’s existing concepts had been used as a reference to develop more cryptocurrencies that contributed to the creation of many marketplaces that allow trading in digital currencies. Projects like ETH, EOS, and TRON are also major contributors in the expansion of the cryptocurrency space. By enabling developers to create their own coins through a main network (mainnet), these projects are responsible for paving the way for new cryptocurrencies to emerge.

Although cryptocurrency’s technical contributions are truly innovative and beneficial, there are many negative aspects that arose due to an existing gap in the cryptocurrency industry; the lack of Initial Coin Offerings (ICOs).

Ever since the first token sale by Mastercoin in July 2013, many ICOs followed. One of the most notable ICO is Ethereum’s ICO that raised 3700 BTC (approximately $2.3 million during that time) in the first 12 hours. More and more ICOs report success in raising funds, but now more than ever, cryptocurrency investors know that it’s not all positive since it has caused financial loss as well.

Despite having successful ICOs, it has been criticized as a mechanism used to commit fraud.

There are many investors who became victims to scammers who are applying a “pump and dump” scheme in which the scammers boost their ICO through marketing and promises of future profit, and then cashes out by dumping the coin. In this situation, investors are left to suffer with huge financial losses.

Introducing LiquidApps & the DAPP Network

LiquidApps’ mission is to promote mass scale adoption of decentralized applications (dApps), by introducing a set of technical solutions that make developing on blockchains substantially easier & affordable: the “D​ APPNetwork​”.

While blockchain technology increases in both sophistication and awareness, it still remains difficult for people to utilize its potential. One reason for this disconnect is the lack of Decentralized Apps, or dApps which provide critical utility and engaging experiences for mainstream users. “Killer apps” are those which organically grow in usage to the point where a substantial segment of the population uses them on a regular basis – without necessarily having a deep understanding of the underlying technologies (such as the TCP/IP protocols behind the internet). While consumer applications like CryptoKitties demonstrate the current scaling challenges on platforms like Ethereum, a vibrant ecosystem of developers and dApps continues to evolve. Today, the most popular dApps are in the gaming, online-gambling and exchange categories – but tomorrow, their functionality and reach may be as vast as that of the Internet.

As rivals to Ethereum’s blockchain platform dominance emerge, so do new technical challenges and opportunities. While the EOS blockchain introduces potentially unlimited scale and speed, the RAM and CPU resources needed to operate on the EOS blockchain are not cheap, are limited, and are expected to become even more so as a result of successful adoption – creating a chicken and egg constrained ecosystem. A technical solution is required to allow dApp developers to easily externalize CPU and RAM from the EOS blockchain and to utilize commonly required functionality in an accessible and affordable manner.

LiquidApps is proud to introduce the DAPP Network native token known as “​DAPP​”, a multi-purpose utility token designed to power an ecosystem of utilities, resources, & services specifically serving the needs of dApp developers building user-centric dApps.

The DAPP Network paves the way for an entirely new class of decentralized applications to emerge — those previously unimaginable due to the systemic limitations of the existing technology stack. By introducing a new ecosystem of collaboration and incentives, a long-tail of truly diverse, creative and useful dApps will likely emerge.

In this whitepaper, LiquidApps introduces the first utility of the DAPP Token – the vRAM System. vRAM is an alternative storage solution for developers building EOS dApps that is compatible with the existing RAM system, decentralized, and enables storing & retrieving of potentially unlimited amounts of data affordably and efficiently.

LiquidApps released the first key products powered by the DAPP Token to the community, seeding the tools for developers to build and create the DAPP Network. With this vision in mind, LiquidApps set a roadmap suggesting successive tools and services for developers which have the potential to contribute to dApp scalability. The growth of the DAPP Network aims to increase the ease, speed, and affordability of building scalable dApps on blockchains today.

Synthetic commodities, such as Bitcoin, have thus far demonstrated low correlation with stocks, currencies, and precious metals. However, today’s synthetics are also highly correlated with each other and with Bitcoin. The natural question to ask is: can a synthetic commodity have low correlation with both Bitcoin and traditional asset groups? In this paper, we
1) intro- duce Ampleforth: a new synthetic commodity and
2) suggest that the Ampleforth protocol, de- tailed below, will produce a step-function-like volatility fingerprint that is distinct from existing synthetics.

Ampleforth

Humanity has developed strong interests towards understanding history and predicting the future. What will the weather be like tomorrow? Which soccer team will win the UEFA European Championship later this year? Is Apple stock going below 100 USD per share on the first weekday of next year? People attempt to predict the results of simple yet non-trivial questions. The desire to predict what happens next has generated conventional prediction markets which are heavily regulated, such as lottery systems and stock markets, as well as illegally operated underground casinos and insider trading. Excessive regulation and legislation, implemented at large monetary costs, greatly limit the prediction market from performing its market functions. Meanwhile, conventional prediction markets have been heavily depending on centralized Oracles who set all prediction results and their fairness and charge a large amount of money. The high cost of these Oracles has significantly lowered the users’ willingness to participate and prevented the prediction markets from large scale adoption.

Prediction Markets are platforms that allows individuals or a group of entities to predict the outcomes of future events, and to be incentivised from the results. Incentives will be redistributed upon the realization of outcomes of an event in which all parties participated. The fortune redistribution follows a simple yet powerful rule, that the fortune flows from less skillful and inaccurate participants to more skillful and accurate participants. In order to succeed in the prediction, participants aggressively gather information, and apply mathematical modeling to maximize the chance of prediction accurately. Statistically, the price associated with each outcome has high positive correlation with each outcome. Meanwhile, the accuracy of the prediction is largely determined by the number of participants. Starting from the very beginning of information revolution, people has been devoted to making online prediction markets to minimize the onboarding barrier for participating in prediction. However, centralized online products have yet to earn people’s trust while excessive regulation and legal restrictions also greatly limits the development of the prediction market.

With the deluge of the continuous development of blockchain technologies, there is an in- creasing trust within communities on enabling public blockchain as Oracle that is fair and decentralized. Blockchain technology is a perfect candidate to form the building block of pre- diction market due to its characteristics such as information transparency and data immutability. The fairness of blockchain makes the prediction market run at low-to-no administrative cost. The application of Smart Contract empowers blockchain with a programmable and dynamic decision-making capability. All of the above emerging phenomenon resulted in the creation of decentralized prediction market.

Bodhi’s mission is to build a credible, autonomous, and scalable decentralized prediction market that promotes the application of prediction market at a global scale to enhance the effectiveness of decision-making process.

Since the development of the blockchain, it has been the most promising and imaginative technological revolution in the world.The blockchain is a decentralized,de-trusted network that can achieve peer-to-peer value exchange, which is called the value Internet.

The decentralized concept of the blockchain is gradually overthrowing the traditional monetary concept, and it has exerted great influence in the world within a short time. More people accept the digital economy era brought by the blockchain. However, the circulation of value and the storage of digital assets in the current block chains have become a huge demand. As an innovative storage payment service platform, MGC Token will also become the leader in the era of encrypted digital economy. MGC Token is a global general digital asset storage platform. Users can use other encrypted digital assets for transactions.

MGC Token provides the users with a secure storage environment for encrypted digital assets, supports the encrypted currency management of various blockchain underlying technologies, and provides a more convenient payment experience. With the help of blockchain technology, the landing ecosystem will continue to create a service platform in the field of full revenue for customers. MGC Token will launch online ATS Smart Financing Service, and issue its own encrypted token on the MGC Token platform at the same time.

As a reward, MGC will encourage more users to promote the development of MGC Token, and make each participant to become a sponsor of this platform. MGC Token will be the driving shares for all the participants, MGC will act as a token for MGC token platform at the early stage, and can achieve online and offline payment of landing scenes, then later link merchants from all walks of life around the world to realize the value of token token. At the same time, MGC tokens are constantly increasing in value, and continue to bring real returns to the owners of MGC tokens. The future of encrypted currency is not only investment and trading, but also ultimately serving consumers in all walks of life. This is an unprecedented change. We believe that MGC Token will become an indispensable key presence in this link. MGC Token has already started to take action. We use blockchain to pioneer a combination of the hottest payment areas in the market and incorporate into the advantages of MGC tokens. MGC Token serves as an intermediary platform for providing the customers with the required consumer’s protection for online trade, and the 5 platform gathers traffic to provide millions of merchants with consumption group, we hope to further optimize the advantages of encrypted currency, such as fast transaction, low cost and cross-border transaction resistance, allowing the merchants to make transaction with the growing holders of encrypted currency from all over the world. Our goal is to create an integrated payment application interface (API) for the market and be able to become the leader in the encryption payment industry, the content as mentioned above make MGC Token turn into the future trend, it will not only launch a precedent of encryption payment industry, but also build a one-station service for user’s asset management.

However, our goal is much more than that. We believe that one of the key functions of encrypted currency in the digital age is to promote transactions and to be widely accepted as a non-friction and secure payment method. We believe that the current payment platform lacks the necessary functions to promote the application and use of the majority of merchants and consumers. Digital token is not only an asset of financial investment, the issuance of blockchain token can flexibly provide funds for product development team to create an innovative and practical platform. It will will be driven by the growth of goods and services, and it can maintain the operation depending on the revenue of fair expenses. In the current blockchain technology, the processing capacity of blockchain is mainly limited by the performance of consensus algorithm, and the performance of consensus algorithm is also limited by the scale of system nodes and the processing capacity of single node. Under the current technical level, it is very limited for the space of optimizing and upgrading the performance for single block chain, and there are performance limits, which seriously restricts the application of distributed ledger technology in large-scale, high concurrency, low latency transaction business scenarios. Taking BTC as an example, high transfer fees and extremely slow speed are major drawbacks. The slow transfer speed is unbearable, and the high handling fees make small transactions inexpensive and unfeasible. It can be predicted that with the rapid development of the digital economy, the frequency and scale of future transactions will far beyond the current level. The bottleneck of performance is one of the most important problems to be solved in distributed ledger technology.

In the payment area, with the increase of the heat of digital currency and the application of currency, the demand for payment has been increasing. Lightning network and thunder network technology should be born. However, the design of lightning network and 6 thunder network is complicated, the technology landing is difficult, the development cycle is long, and the actual application time and effect of landing in the future are unknown. In 2018, with the upgrading of block chain technology and the rise of digital economy, MGC Token provides a safe, efficient and simple storage environment for a variety of digital assets, and introduces ATS digital assets financing services, as well as platform support for construction of digital assets exchange, trading, digital assets payment and settlement system,etc.

With the digital assets continuously accepted by the public and the huge increase in demand, MGC Token will continue to update its technology and services iteratively, which will officially unveil the prelude of digital assets 3.0 era after experiencing the tide of digital assets 1.0 era and 2.0 era. MGC Token provides a secure storage environment for digital assets with multi-functional wallets and fast services for multi-currency management. MGC Token provides ATS smart financing service for digital assets, bringing daily stable profits to the users, strategic planning of landing ecology, and circulation of MGC token. MGC Token will become a multi-functional comprehensive service platform for digital assets. In the era of blockchain digital economy, all the tokens firstly require to produce the value of internal circulation, and then the values produced by landing applications. MGC Token combined with the value of digital circulation and landing application, will surely usher in the next big trend ——the arrival of communication value + token economy. As the platform token, MGC will be used as a barrier-free token on the MGC Token platform, connect online and offline merchants in all walks of life and achieve landing application. It not only helps the transformation and upgrading of traditional industries, but also leverages the Internet economy and promotes the development of real economy.

MGC Token, a digital asset comprehensive service platform that integrates digital asset storage management, smart financing management and landing payment ecology, will continue to develop, create and serve entire field of human life under the support of underlying technology of blockchain. Under such big background, the MGC Token platform initiated by AONE, UK, came into being at the historic moment. Combining the most popular block chain technology in the world with its offline powerful background, it is devoted to change the current 7 environment of global payment. Digitalization of assets has become the trend of development in the future. Traditional payment methods are incompatible with today’s high-speed information development. The transfer of cross-border takes several days to confirm. The currencies must be converted into local legal currencies for outbound tourism, and extreme non-transparency of transaction have all become a difficult problem under the current global integration. The introduction of MGC Token enables users to transfer remittances in a timely manner worldwide, and the transfer for cross-countries and cross-borders can be realized by such payment network. With the automatic conversion of exchange rate on the platform, the confirmation of transaction can be completed in a few seconds without any transaction cost.

Moreover, the rise of MGC make it more convenient to consume during traveling abroad, consumers can use MGC Token scanning to transfer money freely, while reducing handling cost between consumers and merchants. The de-centralized payment of MGC Token is a close combination of cash-free, card-free transaction and digital assets, and creates an unlimited payment platform. MGC Token is committed to serving the global payment scenario for portals through blockchain technology innovation, and is actively expanding its global business with new business models and value returns. MGC Token has a strong R&D team of block chain technology, and has four experts from the world’s top blockchain field. The token will be issued by MGC Token called as (MGC Coin, hereinafter referred to as “MGC”, “Token”). After issuance, it will not only run in MGC Token’s own system, but also be online and freely traded on the world’s major encrypted currency exchanges. At the same time, it will create the preferred online landing ecological payment.

MGCTOKEN WHITEPAPER

While the online gambling and sportsbook market has grown in recent years, concer- ns about issues such as fraud and lack of transparency have remained. The advent of Blockchain technology has fundamentally changed this situation.

Due to the immutability of records on the blockchain, any user can verify and retrace past transactions. Many online casino operators have since developed and launched Blockchain-based online gambling platforms to provide players with these benefits.

However, a series of challenges still remain. Regardless of how active users are and how much money they spend on the platform, they are not rewarded for their loyal- ty. In turn, online casino operators continuously struggle to retain their users. Moreover, most online platforms offer either gambling or sportsbook functions, not offering players a single platform to both place bets on sports events and play casino games.

The Bitbook platform will solve precisely these challenges. Bitbook is a sportsbook and online casino platform that compensates users for their losses with up to 10% and offers them an unparalleled diversity of games and betting options.
