1  Economy / Trading Discussion / Libra, Facebook’s Cardinal ‘Global Currency’ on: July 01, 2019, 09:29:01 AM
First things first! What does Libra mean in this context? Libra the upcoming “Global Currency” from Facebook, etymologically means a unit of weight, equivalent to 12 ounces (0.34 kg). It was the forerunner of the pound. But, is that what they mean here? Most definitely, not.

The wordplay here is with the syllable ‘Lib’ which means ‘Freedom’, a subtle indication of Facebook’s impending solution towards making a global currency that gives financial freedom to billions of people. By becoming a bank to them in the most minimalistic way possible, Libra is set to reach about 1.7 billion people(You can use the wallet, transfer funds in Messenger and Whatsapp, yes that easy!)

According to Libra’s Whitepaper, the currency’s mission is defined as follows, Libra’s mission is to enable a simple global currency and financial infrastructure that empowers billions of people.

Word on Privacy by the Man himself

Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg threw light on the philosophy behind the whole data-leak and privacy concerns hovering around the currency. This is one important aspect Facebook Inc. is taking care of right from the beginning. He said, “It’s decentralized — meaning it’s run by many different organizations instead of just one, making the system fairer overall. It’s available to anyone with an internet connection and has low fees and costs. And it’s secured by cryptography which helps keep your money safe. This is an important part of our vision for a privacy-focused social platform — where you can interact in all the ways you’d want privately, from messaging to secure payments.”

Note: However, it is important to know that the transaction will be protected by Pseudonyms and not through Anonymity. This is one aspect that Facebook needs to be worried about.

So, what kind of currency will Libra be?

Libra’s value is meant to stay stable, so it acts as a fair medium of exchange, as merchants can be confident they won’t be paid a Libra today that’s worth less tomorrow. It is to be a stable coin right to the core. Libra’s value is tied to a basket of bank deposits and short-term government securities for a slew of historically stable international currencies, including the dollar, pound, euro, Swiss franc, and yen.

Libra Association is still figuring out the exact start value for the Libra, but it’s meant to be somewhere close to the value of a dollar, euro or pound so it’s easy to conceptualize. That way, a gallon of milk in the U.S. might cost $3 or in future money equivalent to 3 Libra, similar but not exactly the same as with dollars.

Partners – The initial Libra Associates

Facebook has been looking out for partners to fill the 100 planned nodes on the Libra’s blockchain. As of now, there are 28 partners from different segments;

  • Payment Network – Visa and Mastercard
  • Fintech firms – PayPal, Coinbase, and Stripe
  • Venture Capitals – Thrive and Andreessen Horowitz
  • Non-Government Organizations – Kiva and Women’s World Banking
  • Telecom – Vodafone
  • Marketplaces – eBay, Lyft, Uber, and Spotify.

The ambitions of each partner are varied: the software companies augur economical global payments (especially focused on micropayments). The NGOs wish to offer newer ways to provide financial services to the people who don’t have basic banking facilities (they could later become customers of the other financial partners).

Blockchain partners envision Libra as a means to target other cryptocurrencies. Another new entrant is Calibra, Facebook’s subsidiary that is creating a wallet and other seamless processes for the Libra ecosystem.

There are no banks that have joined hands with the Social Media giant on this, however, the company says it’s open to partnering with banks.

Revenue – Libra’s all about the longer run!

Facebook is not going for the short game and is clearly aiming to stabilize its relevance in the longer run. This is evident from Facebook’s Vice President of Blockchain David Marcus’ verbatim, “If more commerce happens, then more small businesses will sell more on and off a platform, and they’ll want to buy more ads on the platform so it will be good for our ads business.”

So, Facebook has started its journey North with Libra; a stable coin combined with the power of Blockchain.

2  Economy / Trading Discussion / Breaking Down Different Types of ERC20 Wallets on: June 10, 2019, 06:40:47 AM
Ethereum to Bitcoin is like Linux to Windows. While the Bitcoin can be credited with making cryptocurrency popular among the masses it is Ethereum that has made it flexible for anyone to create their own cryptocurrency and tokens. This feature of Ethereum has made it a primary choice among crypto enthusiasts who would like to create their own cryptocurrencies, program their own smart contracts and launch their own ERC-20 tokens.

To digress a little, ERC-20 is the standard or the protocol with which all the tokens created on Ethereum need to comply. Although there are other standards which are extensions of ERC-20, it still continues to be the most common standard used all over the planet!

With the growing number of tokens, it becomes increasingly necessary to have a wallet to store this tokens and transact over the blockchain. A wallet needs to have a few features for it to qualify as a valid one.

  • The wallet should give you complete control over your private keys.
  • The wallet should have a simple, intuitive and easy to use interface.
  • The wallet should not compromise on security and should have a timely backup and restore features.
  • The wallet should be compatible with different operating systems.
  • Above everything, the wallet should have after community support to resolve issues as quickly as possible.

Considering the points given above, here is a list of some of the ERC-20 wallets that Blockchain App Factory and the team of experts in here consider as the best.

Ledger Nano S

Ledger Nano S is a hardware wallet and being a hardware solution for a software-evolution, this wallet has managed to impress a lot of experts.

The wallet has an active development team with all the security features like PIN, seed keys and paraphrases that will help you secure your ERC-20 tokens. It offers support for more than 20 different cryptocurrencies in a single device and the numbers are constantly being upgraded by the dedicated development team. At the cost of $65, it is also the cheapest multi-currency hardware wallet.

Trezor

The Trezor one of the earliest cryptocurrency hardware wallets and is still in existence. The sheer age brings in a default attribute that it supports all ERC-20 tokens. Just like its hardware counterpart, it has all the security features like seed key, PIN protection, and paraphrase features, in addition to an OLED screen.

MyEtherWallet

MyEtherWallet is a web-based open source wallet coded in JavaScript. The first non-hardware wallet on our list is quite user-friendly for securing your Ether and ERC-20 tokens. It also helps in interacting with smart contracts.

The MyEtherWallet is an offline wallet and nothing is stored on the servers of MyEtherWallet. The system browser is used to generate essential data. The non-storage of data on central servers the ownership given to the user for the private keys and the elimination of third parties to ensure the security of funds makes it one of the best wallets.

However, it is a hot wallet and it is strongly suggested not to store large amounts of funds in MyEtherWallet. It can be used in combination with Ledger Nano S and Trezor to transfer funds back-and-forth and actively trade your tokens.

MetaMask

MetaMask, like MyEtherWallet, is a browser-based wallet that gives you access to the Ethereum network. This wallet helps you to store, send and even manage your ERC-20 tokens on it. The active development community and the support that comes along with it, the seamlessly intuitive user interface and the design are the greatest advantages of MetaMask.

Atomic

We have been looking at hardware wallets and browser wallets. However, when it comes to a wallet that allows you to store all your ERC-20 tokens in one place, and also transact, Atomic - the desktop wallet - takes the cake. Atomic represents an interface that connects to several Ethereum block explorers and it reflects the balance of your tokens. A simple input of your contact address into the corresponding field will get you to have all your tokens in a single place.

Atomic is fully decentralized and it facilitates full encryption of your private keys. Atomic also sports Android application, and the iOS application is in the process of being built. What makes Atomic even better is that it has its own ERC-20 token and you can use your wallet to trade that token as well!

Coinomi

Coinomi is a  mobile wallet and its claim to fame can be attributed to its support for forked coins. Coinomi supports both Ethereum and Ethereum based tokens. It gives complete control over your funds at all times because it is a hierarchical deterministic wallet - the holy grail of a wallet where you do not have to remember a lot of credentials, and it is not easy to forget the only one that you need to! One small disadvantage that Coinomi brings is that the token feature is not available by default, and it needs to be configured separately by adding your list of chosen tokens.

Which One to Choose?

When it comes to cryptocurrency wallets, there is no one size fits all. Based on your requirement and the nature of your token trading, you can choose one of your choices. However, Blockchain App Factory strongly advises a combination of a hardware wallet and a web-based hot wallet so that you know that your hardware wallet provides maximum security and the web-based one gives you the garnish of versatility.




3  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: What are the things to be considered when choosing the appropriate exchange for on: June 06, 2019, 06:34:41 AM
Choosing the perfect exchange can be a hard decision to make. But if you follow the criteria given below, you won’t feel so lost.

Some points to consider:

  • Restrictions based on location
  • Transaction fees
  • Security
  • User experience
  • Liquidity
  • Volume
  • User support

Keeping these in mind, you will find an exchange that suits your needs best. Check for the exchange’s credibility and past history for security breaches and scams.

Some of the well-known exchanges in the cryptocurrency industry today are Binance, Coinbase ShapeShift, Changelly, Bittrex, and Bitfinex.

Your options are not limited to these exchanges. There are many more in the market that could provide the features you are looking for. Conduct your own research and find the perfect fit. Happy trading!


4  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: An Experiment on trade - Smart contract for trustless trading on: May 10, 2019, 06:25:28 AM
Isn't this the same concept as Atomic Swap or hash time-locked contracts (HTLCs)?
5  Bitcoin / Wallet software / Re: Hot vs Cold Wallet Cryptocurrency on: May 09, 2019, 12:15:43 PM
Hot wallets are basically wallets that are connected to the internet that may or not may not be controlled by third parties. They are easier to access but more vulnerable to hacking than cold wallets. So it is important to choose a wallet that is well-known for its security. Hot wallets can be used when you are going to be executing trades frequently.

If you are only looking to hold your cryptocurrencies, a cold wallet will suit you well. You can always split your funds and store a part of it in a hot wallet and the rest in a cold wallet depending on how you want to use the funds.
6  Bitcoin / Hardware wallets / Re: Looking for a open source and secure wallet on: May 08, 2019, 12:59:43 PM
Hi

I am looking for a open source and very secure wallet that supports BCH,BTC,ETH,XRP,EOS coins. Anything out there?

Security is important when it comes to cryptocurrency wallets. A majority of multi-currency wallets are not open source. And most open source wallets do not support multiple currencies. Some of the reputed wallets are Ledger Nano S, Trezor, Exodus, Atomic wallet, MyEtherWallet, and more.
7  Bitcoin / Wallet software / Hot vs Cold Wallet Cryptocurrency on: May 08, 2019, 12:58:31 PM
A cryptocurrency wallet is not like any physical wallet that stores money. It does not actually store cryptocurrencies for its users. Rather, it stores the public and private keys that give users access to their cryptocurrencies. There are various types of cryptocurrencies depending on the way they are used and the platform that hosts them. A cryptocurrency wallet can be of two types:

  • A hot wallet is an online wallet that is managed by a third-party who has the public and private keys.
  • Cold wallets exist offline, on an app in a smartphone or desktop or even as hardware devices.

For users who are storing a minimal amount of cryptocurrencies, they can opt for hot wallets. But in case users are storing large volumes of digital currencies, it would be better to go for cold wallets for added security.

Stop spamming all over the forum and then repost your topic but in different formats for advertising.
Answer the questions from here -----> https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5122717.msg50240274#msg50240274 , and this is part of these questions.

One of these addresses is registered on this site, what is your explanation?
Also, why do you need more than one phone number and more than one address in more than one country?
   
S A EONSOFTTECH PVT LTD
Prestige Palladium Bayan
5th Floor, 129-140, Greams Road, Thousand Lights West
Thousand Lights, Chennai- 600006
Tamil Nadu.


Our company shares office space with multiple others and therefore, the occurrence of another site mentioning the same address is actually a very very normal thing. We are expanding and consistently so. For this purpose, we have our head office situated in Chennai, with other offices located in Ahmadabad, and Singapore.
9  Bitcoin / Project Development / Re: An advanced cryptocurrency exchange to bridge the buyer and seller gap on: May 04, 2019, 01:14:24 PM
I will advice you not to trust in a project which was advertised on 14 different thread in a month

talking about trust, they have many phone contacts

+91 638 266 5366 ( India )

+1 (323) 522-4739 ( EUA )

I suggest that people first test to see if these phone numbers work or not.

they also have many physical addresses




I also suggest that people check if these physical addresses are real or not.


We believe in promoting our services and obtaining organic leads. For this reason, we opt for advertisement through various threads and also look to gain knowledge from fellow members. We firmly believe in the barter of knowledge, if that’s not too much!

Our contact information is legitimate! For clarification, feel free to call us anytime. We are available to answer your queries. By all means check any info on our site at your leisure. We work in a space that accommodates other companies as well, which is why our address could appear in the same place as other companies. We are young, we don’t own an entire building, yet!

We are a constantly growing company and therefore have branches in Chennai, Ahmadabad, and Singapore. You can look for The Executive Center, a company we have tied up with, to verify this fact.
10  Bitcoin / Project Development / How we Develop & Audit Smart Contract at Blockchain App Factory? on: March 28, 2019, 12:26:24 PM
Cryptocurrency and blockchain have been changing the face of finance and security all over the planet. The cost-efficiency and the security can only be attributed to the conditional execution of processes with utmost efficiency. It won’t be an exaggeration to state that the awesomeness of blockchain entirely rests on the smart contract. To reap the fullest benefits of blockchain technology in certain domains, developing a perfect smart contract is a vital step.

Since Ethereum is one of the most widespread blockchains, developing an Ethereum smart contract is something that many organizations look forward to. Blockchain App Factory specializes in creating smart contracts for the Ethereum blockchain. Our services ensure the highest efficiency and performance.

The Team at Blockchain App Factory:

The team at Blockchain App Factory brings experience and robust knowledge of working with different blockchain and the smart contracts including but not limited to Ethereum. Our commitment to providing the best-in-class service essentially including vital aspects like security makes us one of the most preferred partners for Ethereum smart contract development. We understand the business and financial needs of our client and proceed to create smart contracts in accordance with their requirement.

Starting right from gathering the requirement for your smart contract, our professionalism steps into the program. Our experience in marketing, project analysis and the meticulous process of testing the source-code makes sure that your a major part of smart contract audit is complete even before the launch of the smart contract.

Our team brings with it the experience of working in multiple blockchain-related processes like Blockchain Development, smart contract development, smart contract audit, Initial Coin Offering, Security Token Offering development, and even creation of new cryptocurrencies. Our experience and expertise converge to give you the best of Ethereum smart contract development services.

Our Process:

The tight process we follow ensures that a development team works in tandem with your team and their requirements. The important steps of our smart contract creation and audit process are:

Requirement Gathering

The first step towards creating a successful smart contract lies in understanding the business logic and the requirements of the client. Our team understands the business goals to be reached by implementing the Ethereum smart contract. Our research is aimed at improving the overall level of understanding of smart contracts. We will take care to collect the document containing the client-specifications or even create one if need be.

Analysis

For the smart contract audit, the first step is to manually analyze the code of the smart contract. We work on the functionality, the bugs and the stability of the smart contract which are needed to keep it working. After manually testing the smart contract, we deploy a smart contract on a live network to see its actual working. As and when we work, we also take steps to check the different resources that the smart contract uses under different conditions.

We validate the code for meeting the standards and recommendations. This process ensures that the code is readable, easily understandable and also makes way for any other organizations to work on the code. Once done, the debugging process starts and this step is one of the most important as it will tell the client about the validity and the functionality of the code in terms of quality, security, and stability. Once all the checks are done, the smart contract is deployed on a test network and it will help diagnose the issues that might not have been bloidentifiable in the inspection.

Advice

Based on our analysis on the bugs and the other issues, we help the client understand the changes that are needed to be made to the smart contract even at the conceptual level. Our aim is to give the client a complete understanding of the risks and the problems involved in the current model of their smart contract.

Testing

The unit testing ensures that every individual unit of the source code is checked for meeting the system requirements, compliance with the data handling procedure, and the storage of information. We test the smart contract for different use case scenarios based on buying of tokens and the withdrawal of tokens or anywhere in between. Testing is an important step in the entire process because the immutability of the smart contracts would mean that they cannot be edited once deployed.

Vulnerabilities

Test cases might not be able to cover extreme scenarios. There are certain instances when the smart contract might not have shown any vulnerabilities in the testing but might encounter one in the future. Our extensive and expansive checks make sure that we discover and patch as many vulnerabilities as possible. Some of the most common vulnerabilities are:
* Reentrancy
* Timestamp dependency
* GAS limits and loops
* Transaction ordering dependency
* Exception disorder
* GASless send

The Overview Document

The report document will give you a birds’ eye view of the project. It will also offline the identified and documented issues that occurred during the auditing process. This section can function as a checklist for the client to prepare for what comes after. The report section will showcase the overall quality, the completion, and breakpoints for the smart contact. Overall, it will showcase the quality and reliability of the project.

Our Services

Blockchain App Factory specializes in all the services that fall into the spectrum of blockchain, cryptocurrency and smart contract. Our services include smart contract development, smart contract audit, cryptocurrency creation, cryptocurrency exchange creation and launching your own Security Token Offering or Initial Coin Offering. Should you have a requirement in any of these, feel free to get in touch with our team and we will ensure that it is executed without compromising on timeliness, professionalism, and quality.

11  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / How to Write Upgradable Smart Contracts in Solidity? on: March 27, 2019, 10:29:33 AM
Smart Contracts - Are They Really Smart?

Smart contracts govern the way in which a blockchain function. The immutability of the blockchain extends into smart contracts as well - a smart contract once coded cannot be modified. This is one of the primary reasons for the blockchain and the data in the blockchain being super-secure. There is no way to edit the data on the blockchain, and there is no way to circumvent the conditions laid out on the smart contract.

This advantage has made blockchain highly dependable for financial transactions, maximizing security and minimizing efforts and expenses, both in time and money. However, sometimes, the biggest boon also becomes the biggest bane. Any software is supposed to have some room to ‘evolve’ and smart contracts, by virtue of their immutability, lack that attribute. Anything that doesn’t change according to the changing times cannot be honored with the prefix ‘smart’, and smart contracts should not be an exception.

Upgradable Smart Contracts:

Sometimes, to stay relevant, it might be essential to lose a quality that made you relevant in the first place. In the case of smart contracts, the solution lies in using ‘upgradable’ smart contracts. This type of smart contracts solves many crucial problems.

Before we proceed to discuss this revolution, we will need to understand the areas where upgradation of smart contracts in Solidity might be expensive and the ways to optimize the costs and resources.

The Processing Cost - Block Gas Limit:

The transactions involving upgradation of smart contracts are relatively large, owing to the amount of processing that needs to be done. The steps include the deploying of smart contract, movement of data and the references.

Inter-Contract Dependencies:

In most cases, when a smart contract is compiled, all the imports are originally compiled into the smart contract. This would mean that a small change in one of the contracts might trickle down to the other contracts that might reference one particular smart contract that is awaiting an upgrade.

Upgradable smart contracts surely present a big bliss. However, the points that have been quoted above will have to be taken into consideration. These dependencies affect the size of the transaction. We have given below, the workarounds to minimize the cost and not suffer any lapse in the safety and security offered by Solidity.

Avoid Copying of Large Data:

One of the most expensive parts of a smart contract is in storing of data. Upgradation of the smart contract containing large storage variables might have a chance of hitting the transaction gas limit during the data-copying process. Therefore it is suggested that you isolate the data store from the rest of your code and make it as flexible as possible so that this hassle might not be always necessary.

Depending on the circumstances, the size of the datastore you need, and the frequency of expected structural changes, you might want to choose a strict definition or a loosely typed flat store. The second type ensures that the data schema changes can be implemented any upgrades to the smart contract.

If there needs to be a smart contract upgrade, switching the upgraded smart contract to eternal storage smart contract instance ensures that you don’t have to copy any data and waste your gas on those operations.

Using Libraries to Encapsulate Logic:

Libraries are special forms of contracts that do not allow any storage variables and exist as singletons. These libraries present a great advantage when it comes to smart contract upgrades - they allow encapsulation of business logic or date management logic. This would mean that the frequency changing elements of a smart contract can be coded in a library as opposed to the actual smart contract.

While it might seem that every call has a gas overhead, the benefit of avoiding upgradation weighs over the expense of frequent calls. There have been instances where the usage of libraries costed 10% less.

Using ‘Interfaces’ to Decouple Inter-Contract Communication:

In this method, ‘abstraction’ of contract implementation happens behind and interface that only defines its function signatures. This method is quite similar to the concept of abstraction in object-oriented programming. Instead of importing the entire contract, an interface containing the function signatures is used. Any possible upgrades to the smart contract that don’t affect the interface are eased. This model can be implemented without redeploying the calling contract.

Above all…

It is to be understood that, while on paper, the smart contract code is immutable, there is always a possible workaround. The ‘immutable’ smart contract can be made ‘mutable’ by default by having chunks of codes in different contracts, and the address of a contract can be ‘called’ for execution. The domino-effect of an upgraded smart contract, in effect, renders any smart contract modifiable.

Blockchain App Factory’s Upgradable Smart Contract Services:

Blockchain App Factory, in addition to its smart contract development and smart contract audit services, also brings you enhancement of smart contracts on Solidity. Get in touch with our expert team to take your Solidity upgradable smart contract development forward to its business-relevance!!

14  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Anyone Looking for Launch your Next Trend Setter on: March 14, 2019, 01:21:55 PM
Next Trend Setter that means Security Token Offering (STO)


Security Token is the Next Trend Setter

The digital world of blockchain has started moving from ICOs to the concept of STOs. As with any new technology, the movement of ICOs to STOs is a natural evolution of stable cryptomarkets. The cryptocurrency bubble of 2017 has burst in the first quarter of 2018, with more than 800 cryptocurrencies being dead and deemed to be fake. Investors have lost around $3.8 billion dollars by investing in shitcoins & scams.

The 2017 Year of ICOs → 2018 Year of STOs

The latter part of 2018 is expected to witness the take-off of tokenized securities. The gamble on utility coins seemingly falling apart, as Bitcoin has lost 70% of its value by mid-2018. SEC will protect ordinary investors and prevent frauds, pump & dumps, and other scams. Security Tokens will increase compliance requirements, such as disclosures and filings, and help meet expectations of token-buyers. The legal precedents of traditional securities will apply to security tokens and subsequently protect token buyers’ rights and expectations.

Security Token Offering

Many tokens or coins, including BTC & ETH, do not have any widespread utility in the business ecosystem. However, in many projects, the coins are like shares in an IPO. These are called Security Token and released with Security Token Offering (STOs). A security token is backed by tangible assets, such as profits, revenue, or any other collateral. The positioning of STOs is that it is not a utility token, but a security token.

The cost of Security Tokens, abiding by regulatory compliance and regulatory frameworks, is cost-effective and more efficient with reduced interference from regulatory authorities, such as the SEC. 

Security Token Trading Platforms

The question that arises when any ICO has been launched and the coin or token has been purchased is ‘Where do I exchange it?’. The secondary trading and liquidity are reduced, as securities are subjected to restrictions and cannot be traded with ease like Utility coins.

Exchanges, like OpenFinance Network, offer an all-in-one service alternative asset trading platform. They are open source with trading, clearing, and settlement services. In addition, the liquidity and asset transfer efficiencies are streamlined with the fully compliant trading of privatized security tokens.

The Integration of Markets

The merging of traditional financial markets with the crypto-market will contribute to the betterment of the investment market on the whole. The storm of peaking and subsequent drop of the crypto-market in late 2017 and early 2018 have washed away the blockchain landscape. When the storm had cleared, there were only a few projects with real repute and true value. The real use case and ability to denominate value turned Security token into a hybrid model with blockchain and it’s accompanying benefit.

Key Takeaways


  • There is a clear demarcation in the crypto-space – Security & Utility Tokens
  • There are uncertainties on what cryptocurrencies qualify as a security token.
  • There is nothing preventing a security token from having a use value(utility value).
  • A Security Token has better legal clarity and protection for the company and investors, however, there are strict regulations and limitations.
  • Secondary Trading of tokens will be established through Security Token Trading Platforms.
  • A Security Trading Platform will automatically increase liquidity, being beneficial for the investors.
  • These tokens can be traded in your exchange with our Alternative Trading System for the Security Tokens.
Blockchain App Factory

Blockchain App Factory, a security token service company, is at the forefront of this innovation and a Trillion dollar industry begins with us. Our development team has created security tokens on our own blockchain thereby, eliminating the limitations of gas prices and changes in protocols and regulations of Ethereum Platform.

17  Economy / Service Discussion / Security Token Marketing on: March 11, 2019, 12:44:59 PM
Security Token Offerings or STOs are all the rage nowadays and for good reason. This form of raising business capital is garnering interest from investors and entrepreneurs alike because it emphasizes on factors such as trust and reliability. STOs, adhere to a strict set of regulations that are aimed at protecting the interests of both the entrepreneur and investor.

STO marketing refers to the process of promotion for a project using Security Token Offering as a means to raise funds. This process involves a variety of steps and they have been mentioned below:

  • The preliminary stages involve market research, fund allocation and identifying potential
  • This is followed by developing an elaborate white paper that covers and highlights the different aspects of your project.
  • Next, the entrepreneur will list the project on an STO listing where it will be reviewed by the community.
  • To attract investors, events and programs will be organized to generate awareness around the STO.
  • Social media and email marketing will be employed to reach a larger audience of investors. Alternatively, this method will also allow investors to follow the progress of the projects.
  • Influencers can be hired to popularize the project. Alternatively, entrepreneurs can make use of SEO techniques and advertising to reach target audiences.

While the above list is not exhaustive and involves a lot more steps, the whole process of STO marketing may seem intimidating to the entrepreneur. Fortunately, there are many companies that provide marketing services for your STO project. Blockchain App Factory is a leading and trusted company that offers premium STO marketing solutions that makes your project stand out from the crowd. Through an experienced team of experts and access to investor networks, Blockchain App Factory helps give your STO a competitive advantage.
