SupPorter Blockchain Fundrising Solution


SupPorter

Solving Problem 
          People love to donate to nonprofit organizations, but trust is at an all time low. This one trillion dollar industry is riddled with scandals and rampant unbridled spending.Sometimes, only 3% of a donation actually supports the cause for which it was designed. The result: everyone loses. The needy lack funds, organizations lack the resources to have a significant impact, legitimate organizations are given a bad reputation and donors stop giving.This is why SupPorter is using innovative innovations in Blockchain technology to shed light on a dark and inefficient fundraising space.

Better Colect Fund
         SupPorter will be the first Blockchain-enabled "smart" donation processing system in the world for non-profit organizations and political campaigns. The Blockchain allows organizations to receive donations safely without the need for a centralized intermediary such as a bank. This reduces fees and allows organizations to accept real (fixed) and digital (crypto) currencies.

Toeken
          Cryptocurrency The beauty of SupPorter is that donors do not have to use cryptocurrencies, because donations, regardless of currency, can be converted seamlessly into SP tokens in the front and This means that we do not ask people to change the way they have been supporting organizations for years.

Finance Report
          SupPorter will radically simplify the end of the year filing process.
Distributed ledger data can be easily classified, analyzed and entered into financial reporting forms. For example, IRS Form 990 is currently a major headache for non-profit organizations.This form is typically more than 50 pages and can take a team of counters weeks to complete.With SupPorter, this process could be completed in a matter of minutes.

          Bringing charitable donations to the 21st century and the Blockchain. Invest in SupPorter
Almost 50% of people do not trust charities, and for good reason. Sometimes, only 3% of a donation is actually used to support the cause for which the donation is intended (Source: Reader's Digest).
That's why SupPorter is using Blockchain technology to bring transparency and efficiency to the fundraising space.

         We believe that SupPorter will provide a faster, cheaper and more transparent form of donation, all without requiring users to be illiterate. We also hope that SupPorter greatly simplifies the end of year submission process for the organizations that participate in our platform (IRS Form 990, 1120, etc.). An investment in SupPorter is an investment in every charity organization on the planet. It is an opportunity to invest in block chain technology while having a positive impact on our planet.

           The funds of this crowdfunding campaign will be used to finalize the development of our token and network (which are currently working prototypes) and to incorporate more charities and other organizations to our platform (which is already operational). We anticipate that investors will be able to use our token on our platform within a year after the closing of this offer.

Able Decentralized Cryptocurrency Platform


ABLE

          ABLE is create a solution to problems with traditional bank lending-deposit spreads, and nontransparent and centralized cryptocurrency financial services, basing the solution on the transparency and reliability of a blockchain system. The ABLE project is the cryptocurrency-specific financial solution that provides cryptocurrency financial products through person-to-person loanmatching systems and decentralized exchanges.
          ABLE project will create a platform that enables cryptocurrencybased financial activities to center around the ABLE account, emanating from the fact that banking activities are carried out primarily through bank accounts.

CASE STUDY OF LOAN BROKER RISK: SALT

          SALT is a banking service cryptocurrency solution that lends money in fiat currency backed by cryptocurrency as collateral. Using the multi-signature technology that only allows a withdrawal with the signatures of both intermediaries and borrowers, this solution alleviates intermediary risk and thus distinguishes itself from existing solutions. However, the SALT structure stipulates that without signatures, users cannot receive ownership of cryptocurrencies in return. While the platform uses smart contracts, until it becomes decentralized it cannot be an ideal solution to intermediary problems. Most lending platforms are also vulnerable to managers’ moral hazard because intermediaries retain customers’ cryptocurrency assets.


PONZI-SCHEME TYPE CRYPTOCURRENCY DEPOSITS

          There are cryptocurrency deposit services in the form of Ponzi schemes that pay unsustainably high deposit interest rates. These services attracted customers by providing interest rates as high as 10% per month in the six months following launch. The Government of the United Kingdom has imposed sanctions on Ponzi-type fraudulent cryptocurrency financial services. Ponzi-scheme type cryptocurrency services that collect money on an arbitrage profit-sharing model also have emerged.


CONCLUSION FROM ANALYSIS OF CASE STUDIES OF CRYPTOCURRENCY BANKING SERVICES

          Cryptocurrency banking services are still in their infancy and do not have established business models. Most attempts to solve their problems have separated deposits from loans. This mechanism was not sustainable under the weight of high deposit rates and failed to solve the intermediary-risk problem caused by centralization. The ABLE project aims to create a solution to existing problems and a better system through the investing-lending matching engine and various financial services that provide account-based links between investors and borrowers.


 INVESTING-LENDING MATCHING ENGINE AND SMART CONTRACT
 
          An order book for investing and lending is created based on investing and lending demand from users. Once an invest or lending transaction is carried out based on the order book, a smart contract is created to execute the investment or the loan. The borrower’s cryptocurrency will be set up as collateral and the contracted loan will be given. Then the investor will receive corresponding interests.


INVESTING-LENDING MATCHING-ENGINE BUSINESS MODEL

          Collateralization of cryptocurrency, loan payment, and interest payment are also carried out through smart contracts. Users can invest any cryptocurrency set up as collateral in mutual funds listed on the ABLE network and various investment products, but cannot make withdrawals. Any investments made by cryptocurrency collateral can be automatically liquidated through smart contracts to preserve the value of collateral, in case value of the investments declines.

Tokens are the currency of commission payment for attracting users at the ICO stage.
The user must have a security stock of tokens for performing operations such as voting for the addition coin, as well as access to moderation tools in the chat rooms.
The users, who intend to use White Label, must have a security stock o tokens on their account.

A simple marketing model will help to realize the real benefit of buying a token, creating the illusion of buying a share in the company which makes it possible to make profit on a daily basis.

STM acts as an internal currency both for performing the operations necessary for the operation of the Stoxum network: commission, partner payments, dividends, etc. Also it acts as the base currency, which is “shares”.

Traxion Frictionless with the Banks, Borderless for the People.


Traxion
          TraXion is bank with aims to be a better bank in a blockchain-driven environment, enabling its community to load, send, save, spend, lend, borrow, and more using a secure, simplified yet compliant application. It is an environment where for-profit meets non-profit sectors and develops a synergy towards corruption-free social impact activities.
          There are start-ups trying to focus on a niche and would not take advantage of economies of scale, which is one of the main advantages enjoyed by traditional financial institutions that may not be as technologically advanced. TraXion plans to offer traditional financial products in a blockchain-driven environment, eventually becoming the crypto-economy for payments, peer-to-peer lending, remittances, savings, insurance, investments, and philanthropy. 

MARKET OVERVIEW

Starting in Southeast Asia
          Out of over 600 million people, almost half of the entire population are on internet in Southeast Asia, making it one of the largest internet market in the world; Indonesia leads the race. Due to a thriving young market, over 70% of the entire population will be internet users by the turn of the decade.

Beyond Southeast Asia
          In 2015, cross-border payment flows totaled more than $150 trillion. Most of this volume was consumer driven, but the value was largely generated by businesses. In this same period, the payments industry earned over $200 billion in revenue from services provided to payers and payees (nearly 80% resulted from B2B transactions). Most cross-border payments are still routed via bilateral correspondent banking relationships, a network of banks 13 that use the SWIFT messaging protocol to execute transactions. Because each bank performs a function in the value chain, fees accompany each transaction. The sum of such fees occasionally exceeds 10% of a payment’s value,
 

Current Blockchain Market
          This market is quickly emerging and a lot of industries are realizing the importance of blockchain in the changing times and requirements of businesses and communities. This is the illustration of how vast the involvement of several industries and the dynamics that go with it.
 

TECHNOLOGY SOLUTION
 

Hyperledger Fabric Blockchain
          Hyperledger Fabric, an open-source blockchain is endorsed by a consortium of large tech enterprises such as IBM, Cisco, SAP, Intel and Oracle. Hyperledger Fabric project is delivering a blockchain platform designed to allow the exchange of an asset or the state of an asset to be consented upon, maintained, and viewed by all parties in a permissioned group. A key characteristic of Hyperledger Fabric is that the asset is defined digitally, with all participants simply agreeing on its representation/characterization.

Securing a Partnership with MasterCard 
          An initiative and a part of the roadmap of the TraXion team is to secure affiliation with banks who can link partnership with MasterCard for its solutions to TraXion token holders for payout solutions linking their Bitcoin, Ethereum, Monero, Zcash, Coin wallets to their own prepaid MasterCard which will enable P2P payments as well as access to over 130,000 ATMs in 196 countries around the world. 

Securing a Partnership with IBM
          As a significant contributor to the Hyperledger community, IBM has the deep knowledge, experience and scale to help get our blockchain solution up and running. The most famous example of blockchain in action is the cryptocurrency bitcoin but companies of all sorts—including banks, tech firms, and retailers—have been building their own “chains” in the belief they will dramatically improve supply chains and lower the cost of record keeping. And here is where Hyperledger fabric comes in. Our chosen solution will make our integration and communication with the bank frictionless. Our partnership with IBM, being the leading technology provider to the banks, will greatly increase scalability of our services. 

TraXionWallet
          TraXionWallet is currently used as a white-labeled solution of Gavagives.com (see screencap below). This wallet currently enables transfer of funds collected by non-profit organizations to their chosen bank account through a disbursement gateway. The same wallet enables users to see all donations listings, data analytics and other reports. 

ROADMAP
Formation of Blockchain Dev Hub (early 2017)
Launch of Payment Platform (mid 2017) 
Launch of Fundraising Platform (mid 2017) 
Initial Coin Offering (May 2018) 
TraXion Wallet Capability (Q2 2018) 
SMARTER Fundraising (Q3 2018) 
Crypto Trading on Wallet (end of 2018) 
Whitelabel Remittance Portal (early 2019)

Vanig.io Empowering E-commerce Platform



Vanig

Vanig is an online platform that empowers the e-commerce industry through the use of blockchain. It enables its users to transact smoothly in their supply chain ecosystem. This supply chain ecosystem involves the storage and delivery of products to the consumers. As a matter of fact, the vanig platform will also remove the intermediaries involved in every e-commerce transaction. Thus, giving its buyers fewer fees and making its sellers have more profit. The idea of this project to change the online shopping experience relies on the integration of artificial intelligence.


What is the operating platform of Vanig?

Vanig will operate under the Hyperledger Sawtooth technology. According to hyperledger.org, this is a modular platform that allows you to build, deploy and run distributed ledgers. Distributed ledgers provide a digital record (such as asset ownership) that is maintained without a central authority or implementation.



Vanig MarketPlace MVP (Minimum Viable Product)

What I like most about this project is that they already have an MVP or Prototype. It means that the project developers are really serious in delivering this project to a whole new level. Here is the look at the MVP.



When the project is finished;
Users will be able to purchase products using vanig tokens, or thru crypto and fiat. Not only that, users can browse the product according to user requirements. Buyers with access to the marketplace can also track where the item came from. They are also incentivized with tokens for every purchase in the marketplace.


ICO Details

In order to build a platform for e-commerce, vanig will conduct an initial coin offering to start funding the project. The proceeds will be used in project development, marketing campaign, and partnership deals. Vanig token is therefore created and will be used in the marketplace.

Here the important details about the token sale and the private sale

  1. To motivate people to join various communitiesand proactively participate.
  2. To share their idle computing resources and get rewarded in STARs.
  3. To buy and sell computing servicesand resources in peer-to-peer transactions without any intermediary.
  4. To motivate community members to create rare digital assets and trade them using STARs.
  5. Access to new computing services that may be introduced by the Collaborative Astra Network in future.

Metabase build, scale, and monetize next-generation businesses platform



Metabase
Metabase is to build a blockchain platform to build, scale, and monetize next-generation businesses.
In this whitepaper, we describe the technical aspects of Metabase - providing technological solutions and innovations to overcome the challenges discussed above. As we mentioned the challenges of the first-generation blockchains, namely - Scalability, Limited Programming Ecosystem, Security and Usability and Governance. Here is an outline of how Metabase is planning to address these issues.

How it work ?
Scalability
In the Protocol section, we address scalability at a technical level by describing an innovative next-gen blockchain protocol that scales with adoption.

Limited Programming Ecosystem
A Virtual Machine 2.0 with an augmented OpCode Space - unleashing a rich programming ecosystem which enables programming on high-level programming languages for end users, low-level programming languages for organizations and identity systems within the core blockchain.

Security and Usability
In the Virtual Machine section, we describe how Metabase will incorporate standard security constructs into the OpCode space itself - reducing the burden of application programmers. An augmented OpCode space will also make blockchains easier to program.

Governance
A blockchain should be like a living specimen that evolves over time. Under the Governance section, we describe a framework to enable a controlled evolution of Metabase - with the process guided by open consensus of the participants. Governance of Metabase encompasses areas from Metabase Improvement Protocols to controlling base axioms of the system.
Hence, with these features, Metabase will overcome limitations of first-generation blockchains and enable programmers and entrepreneurs to build their blockchain based solutions on a rich, scalable, secure, easy-to-use and evolving platform.


Challenging Scalability

Currency and its purposes
A currency can act as a medium of exchange, a store of value or both. For example, in modern times, the US Dollar has acted as a medium of exchange for international trade. It has also acted as a store of value, especially for people in volatile economies. Before the advent of paper currency, gold and silver coins acted as a ‘store of value’ while less precious metals like tin and copper coins provided for ‘medium of exchange’ coins.

Bitcoin’s woes
The economic dilemma of a cryptocurrency is best articulated by Bitcoin’s tricky situation. For it to be useful as a store of value - its demand and adoption should keep rising. This along with its deflationary nature will ensure Bitcoin keeps rising in value (vis-a-vis other currencies like USD). However, this has a double negative impact on its purpose as a medium of exchange.

Metabase and Challenging Scalability
  • Impact I needs redressal at an economic policy level - for Metabase, we address this in the Monetary Policy section.
  • Impact II requires addressing the technical issue of scalability or transaction throughput. In the Protocol section, we introduce how Metabase throughput would scale with increasing adoption to provide stable transaction fees.

Metacore - Store Of Value
  • Metacore Tokens Issuance - as Block Rewards.
  • Block reward per block for the first 2 Million Blocks are fixed at a constant denoted by Reward(max)
  • Block reward per block halves after every 2 Million Blocks, hence block rewards for different block numbers look as follows:


  • Each duration where the block reward is constant is referred to as a ‘Halving Epoch’The duration of a ‘Halving Epoch’ is denoted by khalving = 2 Million Blocks
  • Reward(max) will be a constant value determined by token issuance in Pre Sale (refer Token Sale Economics document for a sample calculation).




Token Distribution and Supply Over Time




Metabit - Medium Of Exchange
Metabit is the Medium of Exchange currency of Metabase. It is the transactional token of Metabase and will be used to denominate transaction fees. Metabit as a currency is inflationary in supply with a degree of demurrage associated which can be governed by the governance framework.
Based on supply of Metabit and Metacore, there is a rate of exchange derived between both tokens. All transactions of Metabase have a static transaction cost in terms of Metabit, but when the rate of exchange is applied, the overall transaction cost is reducing in nature with respect to Metacore.



Tools
Metabase system will embrace both browser and mobile platforms as first-class citizens and aims to encourage and support developers in search of easy-to-use blockchain applications on Metabase blockchain. This way Metabase aims to kickstart the second wave of innovation on blockchain which will be very similar to the advances in web services that followed the browser revolution.
Metabase core implementation will consist of Metabase Virtual Machine (MVM), the Metabase client (P2P, Consensus), Metabase Compiler and finally the interfaces that enable interactions with Metabase.



Metabase Mobile Light Client
Metabase will launch with a Light Client for mobile platforms, a type of blockchain client that does not need to download the entire blockchain to work. This way Metabase users will start using official mobile wallets right away instead of relying on third-party software. Besides wallet functionality and if the end-user so requires, Metabase Light Client will be able to store and process necessary KYC and identity information securely. This piece of information may be used for authentication in various types of interactions like trading in exchanges or sharing invoice details, therefore, embedding Metabase more and more into real life interactions.
Metabase Browser Extension
Metabase will be launched on modern browser platforms via a browser extension similar to Metamask. Metabase browser extension will enable users to interact with the next generation of products and services safely and securely right from their browser without downloading the entire blockchain.

Metabase Developer SDK and Integrated Development Environment
Developers will be able to create and deploy new products to Metabase blockchain directly by using the browser plugin and IDE. In terms of functionality, Metabase IDE will not be limited to compiling and deploying smart contracts but will play a critical role during development and guide developers to use best security practices at every step.
