With the rise in popularity of ERC20, digital tokens in the Ethereum ecosystem have emerged as an important asset class. These tokens have all the advantages that blockchains and Ethereum have to offer in terms of transparency in total number of coins, owners, minting, fast confirmation times, transactions details and smart contract execution. Tokens on the Ethereum blockchain can serve several different functions; this paper will specifically focus on asset backed or wrapped tokens. The prices of these tokens reflect the price of the asset backing them and hence they can also be called “stable coins”. Asset backed tokens are usually done in two different ways:

● Algorithmic – This is a mechanism followed by some tokens on Ethereum where demand and supply are controlled by smart contracts in order to keep the price of the token in line with a fiat currency. Some examples of this are Dai, Basis, Carbon, and NuBits

● Centralized – Assets are stored with an organization which publishes proof of reserves.

This is the case with Tether, True USD, USDC (USD), Digix (gold), Globcoin (a mix of fiat currencies), and AAA reserve (governmental bonds)

Wrapped tokens follow the centralized model, but instead of relying entirely on one institution, they rely on a consortium of institutions performing different roles in the network. This whitepaper proposes a framework for issuing asset backed tokens by addressing challenges with scalability, trust, regulation, and governance. The first wrapped token we launch will be an ERC20 token backed by Bitcoin (BTC) and will be appropriately named, “Wrapped BTC”

(WBTC). Unlike centralized solutions (USD), WBTC will be fully accounted for and proof of reserves posted on the BTC chain.

There is no additional secondary utility/payment token required to use WBTC, and no transfer fees other than blockchain fees. WBTC uses a simple federated governance model and strives to promote usability.

Our aim is for Wibson to be a blockchain-based, decentralized data marketplace that
provides individuals a way to securely and anonymously sell information in a trusted
environment. The combination of the Wibson token and blockchain-enabled smart contracts
hopes to allow Data Sellers and Data Buyers to transact with each other directly while providing
individuals the ability to maintain anonymity as desired.

Wibson intends that its data marketplace once finalized and operational will provide
infrastructure and financial incentives for individuals to securely sell personal information
without sacrificing personal privacy. Data Buyers receive information from willing and actively
participating individuals with the benefit of knowing that the personal information should be
accurate and current.

The cryptocurrency industry has been growing exponentially over the past couple of years. Currently, it is maintaining the market capitalization at $250-300 billion. This indicates that it is a market that has investment potential. However, many of the coins or cryptocurrencies are quite volatile. The main reason for this is that most of them are speculative coins only driven by demand and supply forces.

The Exosis development team realized that the best way to create a good cryptocurrency platform is by creating a multi-functional platform that has utility. Exosis is a realization of the dream. It features five different platforms in one. It has a decentralized exchange, a decentralized e-commerce site, an OTC platform, a Virtual Masternode, and a multiplatform e-wallet. These five different business models all rely on the Exosis coin. This gives Exosis coin utility, unlike most other cryptocurrency platforms. The result is a platform that offers users multiple ways of earning. If you are a trader, you can use the OTC platform and the decentralized exchange to trade coins with other to make a profit. If you simply want secure e-commerce, the decentralized e-commerce site will protect your money and personal details while offering cheaper transaction costs. If you are a miner or prospective miner, you can decide to run a full masternode of Exosis or you can use the virtual masternode if there are any restrictions on the hardware or the internet connection from your place. As a result, Exosis is a true ecosystem that is sustainable and with little volatility due to the utility offered by the five business models.

What is BEAM?
BEAM is a next generation confidential cryptocurrency based on an elegant and innovative Mimblewimble protocol.

Things that make BEAM special include:
• Users have complete control over privacy – a user decides which information will be available and to which parties, having complete control over his personal data in accordance to his will and applicable laws.
• Confidentiality without penalty – in BEAM confidential transactions do not cause bloating of the blockchain, avoiding excessive computational overhead or penalty on performance or scalability while completely concealing the transaction value.
• No trusted setup required.
• Blocks are mined using Equihash Proof-of-Work algorithm.
• Limited emission using periodic halving with total amount of coins ~250 million.
• No addresses are stored in the blockchain – no information whatsoever about either the sender or the receiver of a transaction is stored in the blockchain.
• Superior scalability through compact blockchain size – using the “cut-through” feature of Mimblewimble makes the BEAM blockchain orders of magnitude smaller than any other blockchain implementation.
• BEAM supports many transaction types such as escrow transactions, time locked transactions, atomic swaps and more.
• No premine. No ICO. Backed by a treasury, emitted from every block during the first five years
• Implemented from scratch in C++ by a team of professional developers.

Mission
Crowdvilla aims to provide true sharing of its global portfolio of hotels and holiday properties on the lockchain. Based on the concept of the common good, Crowdvilla’s community pool their resources to acquire properties together for their shared use. Our introduction video is here:

The portfolio would ideally occupy the casual luxury segment that has broad appeal to internationally-mobile businesses and holiday travellers.

Crowdvilla will operate as a non-profit organisation (NPO) that combines blockchain technology and real estate utility tokenization to provide attractive key features to its community and users.

Token-Point System
The Crowdvilla platform uses a Token-Point System with the following native digital assets:
Each Crowdvilla Token (CRV) denotes a share of time-value for the use of all properties in the Crowdvilla portfolio. CRV holders earn Crowdpoint Tokens (CROWD) in perpetuity (i.e. on an ongoing basis for as long as the portfolio exists). CROWD Tokens are used to book stays in the properties. The number of CROWD Tokens generated is proportional to the number of CRV Tokens held and the length of the holding period.
