WHY BLOCKCHAIN?
A blockchain is a digitized, decentralized, public or private ledger of all cryptocurrency transactions.
Constantly growing as ‘completed’ blocks (the most recent transactions) are recorded and added to it in chronological order; it allows market participants to keep track of digital currency transactions without central recordkeeping. Each node (a computer connected to the network) gets a copy of the blockchain, which is downloaded automatically.
Originally developed as the accounting method for the virtual currency Bitcoin, blockchains – which uses what's known as distributed ledger technology (DLT) – are appearing in a variety of commercial applications today. Currently, the technology is primarily used to verify transactions, within digital currencies, though it is possible to digitize code and insert practically any document into the blockchain.
Doing so creates an indelible record; furthermore, the record’s authenticity can be verified by the entire community using the blockchain instead of a single centralized authority.
A block is the ‘current’ part of a blockchain, which records some or all of the recent transactions. Once completed, a block goes into the blockchain as a permanent database. Each time a block gets completed, a new one is generated. There is countless number of such blocks in the blockchain, connected to each other (like links in a chain) in proper linear, chronological order. Every block contains a hash of the previous block. The blockchain has complete information about different user addresses and their balances right from the genesis block to the most recently completed block.
The blockchain was designed so these transactions are immutable, meaning they cannot be deleted. The blocks are added through cryptography, ensuring that they remain meddle-proof: The data can be distributed, but not copied.
BASE TOKEN
In order to power this new platform for the issuance and trading of regulatory compliant securities on the Ethereum blockchain, an ERC20 standard Polymath(BASE) token will be created and distributed to network participants.
360 Million BASE tokens will be minted and no additional BASE tokens will ever be minted after that. BASE tokens are the underlying economic unit of the Equitybase ecosystem by providing reduce and zero fee solution on the platform.
Base Tokens are a digital representation of a participation of Equitybase platform. BASE Tokens will be tradable outside Equitybase’s platform, as they are an ERC20 Token so they will have an inherent value in the exchanges. Users will also be able to utilize BASE Tokens as a zero fees incentive for investing in Securities tokens at our platform along with ERC20 standard interface that guarantees the interoperability between tokens.
BASE token, which can be kept in any Ethereum based smart/cold wallet, is an ERC20 based blockchain token with vesting functions.
BASE token are created on token sale backed by a smart contract and will be on a fixed volume basis, which are stored in any Ethereum ERC20 base wallet. Equitybase platform does not restrain investors on minimum investment or holding period.
EQUITYBASE ICO
A capped pre-sale of BASE token will start on 02/28/2018 to 03/12/2018 at a discount rate of 40%, BASE token sale will be conducted via smart contract and fully audited by Coinfabrik to ensure the security of the ICO process. The proceeds from the ICO offering will be utilize in the following manner: 60% of the funds will be used for Market liquidity (Equity Reserve) and 40% will be for product development and operations.
Public ICO of BASE Token will begin on 02/28/2018 and end on 04/30/2018 with initial discount of 30%, discount rate will be lower in increments of 5% weekly over the duration of the ICO sale. We expect BASE Tokens acquired during the ICO process will be substantially discounted against trading values on public exchanges. Minimum contributions during the public ICO will be at 0.001 ETH. Transfer rate is set at 1 ETH = 3,000 BASE.
Total availablity of BASE token will be set at 360,000,000 of which 50% will be sold during ICO, remaining reserve token will be held for 1 year and periodically release to stimulated the platform’s growth if needed. 20% of the tokens will be allocated to the founding team members and its advisors with a 12 month vesting period. 10% of overall token allotment will be distributed for community program marketing prior and after the ICO process.
