WHY LOTOSCentralized religions are failing (atheism is set to
defeat them by 2038), but we believe the
future is bright for decentralized religions.
So we are building a complete Buddhist ecosystem on the Ethereum blockchain —
the world's first decentralized religion!If you are interested,
please flip through the Lotos Network InfoDeck (2 min)Decentralized Religion Solves:
- Scientific efficacy (data collection)
- Incentivization (tangible collectibles)
- Accessibility (cloud matchmaking)
- Corruption (transparent transactions)
HOW IT WORKS1. A tablet app connects students and teachers which
anyone can use.
2. Students pay a
monthly subscription in fiat.
3. This subscription automatically buys ERC20 Karma Tokens on a
public exchange (from you, the contributor).4. The student pays teachers in Karma for classes
5. Students can recover up to half of their subscription fee by meditating (Proof of Meditation)
Some Interesting Bits:
- The number of users correlates to the value of the tokens, incentivizing all users to grow the network.
- We will create a IBM Watson AI Chatbot called "BuddhaBrain" with data we collect on the network.
- Our team will not have access to any contributions until we reach 10,000 paid subscribers (we will program this into the smart contract).
- Meditation is a big business - Headspace meditation app has 400,000 paid subscribers and is worth $250 million
- And much more!
