STARTS: FEBRUARY 28, 2017 at 08.00 UTC
ENDS: April 30, 2017

Welcome to the Apptrade’s master token sale powered by OpenLedger’s crowdfunding and digital branding solutions.
 
OpenLedger & Ronny Boesing present Apptrade, “ the stock market of apps “ platform.  More specifically an app portfolio marketplace.  Each portfolio is a crowdfunded campaign featuring a group of apps, backing a shared reserve.

PROFITS OVER PERKS.
Tokens are an ideal medium for carrying out app portfolio profit sharing.
Since Apptrade is a platform that asks users to raise capital using tokens,  it was only natural that the platform itself would have a master token that serves as a clean and transparent way to gain support from the public.
Tokens simplifies funding compared to traditional outlets. At the same time offering an opportunity to “share the wealth” from the earnings of all potential app portfolios.

Apptrade is pledging  10% of all potential reserves to the APPX master  token.

How we distribute our token revenue internally:

OpenLedger is helping startups like Apptrade, to reach their goals, and at the same time making sure all master token holders are given real-time updates that reinforce their ever growing trust in a project.
 
OpenLedger is making sure that protocol and payments are done in strict accordance with published milestones.


WHAT IS OpenLedger
OpenLedger started out as a decentralized exchange. It has now become  a  decentralized conglomerate and has developed many businesses supported by recently revamped cryptocurrency exchange CCEDK.
OpenLedger is a startup crowdfunding service provider, information exchange and ITO access point open to the public so anyone can participate in “deals of the future”. For the first time crypto speculators of the world have the ability to get in front of the all the “professional”, “smart” money and reap the rewards that are usually reserved for a privileged few.


Apptrade LLC and OpenLedger ApS Relationship
With  regards to the APPX master token crowdsale and future rounds of funding OpenLedger ApS is the beneficiary of all funds, and will be releasing funds to their Apptrade project according to set milestones in accordance with platform user growth and total portfolio valuation Part of the early milestones is to create company in Denmark by the name OpenLedger's Apptrade ApS with the main shareholder being AppTrade LLC and a smaller part being OpenLedger ApS to be the official entity for all future Apptrade operations. All future revenues and dividends related to these portfolios will be distributed to the master token holders by OpenLedger ApS in cooperation with Openledgers' Apptrade ApS.

Before explaining our master token sale, let’s get into the details about Apptrade :

APPTRADE FOR USERS

What Will Apptrade Let Users Do?
Buy and trade digital royalties on the blockchain.  Dividends from digital app revenues are the highlight of Apptrade’s portfolio marketplace.

Instead of browsing single projects often rewarded with a perk, get profits from a group of digital based projects.
 
Each app portfolio is a profit sharing open market. Token offerings without the equity, without ownership in companies and the burden of development. App portfolios are collections of raw digital goods. Multiple projects per “campaign.” Each pitching in profits to power their portfolio’s token reserve.
 
With blockchain smart contracts and a decentralized exchange, app publishers can create their own “mutual funds” and raise capital without involving equity. App publishers share a digital reserve, if one app fails the others may balance out.  Used as collateral, each portfolio’s reserve sells its own supply of tokens.

Anyone holding a portfolio token would be tied into a profit sharing mechanism controlled by a DAPP.

APPTRADE FOR DIGITAL BUSINESS

For app publishers its crowdfunding on a blockchain. Full service platform that will run on the Bitshares decentralized exchange. A group of apps may self organize into app portfolios, participating in a collaborative funding and distribution model for raising funds.

 
TO RAISE CAPITAL EACH APP CONTRIBUTES A PORTION OF ITS EARNINGS INTO A SHARED DIGITAL RESERVE. SPONSORS BUY DIGITAL TOKENS BACKED BY REVENUE POOLED FROM DIGITAL GOODS.


CHALLENGES FOR APP MAKERS:
Too much competition for the exposure of apps (Click here for article)
●      Ad networks cater to the top 1% of developers.
●      Many developers have no UA strategy.
  

SOLUTION: Collaborative funding and marketing. By “app linking” Apptrade  connects apps that share a portfolio. Helping publishers compete as a group. Ultimately apps have a listing for their exits.


How Do App Developers Benefit?
1. Increased exposure. Cross marketing within a portfolio of apps.
2. Collaborative funding goes towards app’s monetization and distribution.
3. After apps grow in a portfolio, they’ll have a chance to get acquired.






Requirements For Listing An App
●     Agree to an exclusive 24 month distributors license and broker agreement
●     Contribute a percentage of monthly revenue ** ( tier)
●     Link to the other apps. Participate in cross marketing efforts.
 
*Percentage is on a tier. The monthly contribution decreases
 as the value of the app exceeds the original listing value.


APPTRADE FOR SPONSORS/TOKEN HOLDERS

“Test drive” a group of ideas before committing to an acquisition.
Sponsors profit from a range of apps without owning the apps.


 NOTE: There is a distinction between portfolio tokens holders that we describe as “sponsors”and the master token APPX.  


Sponsors are portfolio token holders who are different from the MASTER token holders. We will be growing our portfolios marketplace after raising funds through our initial APPX token sale.


FINDING THE RIGHT APP PROJECT TO SUPPORT IS DIFFICULT:
Supporting a group of apps might reduce risk over single projects at a time.
●     The 1 in 10 success rate still stands true for apps.
●     App developments costs are high.  

 
SOLUTION: App portfolios and the blockchain. Risk is diversified across a  portfolio of apps and other digital goods. Improved environments for trade with less friction between participants.


Target Market For App Portfolios And Virtual Goods  
Investment banks, structured settlement firms, factoring firms, gold companies, REITS and sovereign funds.


An Exit Strategy For Apps
 Major tech and media companies : Alphabet, Facebook, Electronic Arts, Sony, Disney. These firms don't have the time to scale original developments. So they shop sourcecode marketplaces in search of low cost prototypes to acquire.


Trust Must Scale
To achieve this initial trust on the platform, Apptrade facilitates the connection between makers and their sponsors.


●     Universal design for the app portfolio tokens.
●      In keeping with regulation, compliant ready smart contracts have the key features needed to operate a legitimate market.
●     Apptrade gradually rolls out the supply of  tokens for sale, giving each portfolio market a chance to raise capital as their portfolio inventory demands.

 
Track the performance of app portfolios on a private dashboard that can  be viewed with a login.

●     See fiscal trajectory of each portfolio.
●     Data reflects portfolio’s market activity from OpenLedger.
●    See individual app analytics.


Apptrade Business Model
●     Apptrade will earn a fee when portfolios raise capital.
●     Apptrade earns a fee when we broker the sale of an app brand.
  

Now let's get back to our master token APPX

Keep in mind we are seeking private funding along with public funding. Private capital will be added to the pot of main fundraising sales goal.

Apptrade intends to bring the mainstream financial community to the world of trading asset backed tokens. Providing a digestible context for wholesale and retail speculators.
 
Given most cryptocurrency values are tied to a core coin that is dependent on mass usership of the blockchain. Our app portfolio tokens will have the potential to explode in value without requiring large numbers of user adoption. If an app under our 2 year agreement goes viral and increases their monthly contributions, the entire portfolio may buzz with activity.
Suddenly an unknown portfolio token's reserve may become a great fortune for an obscure group of participants.
