[ANN][ICO] TokenStars: Tokenize Celebrities

[nikolaich]

Can company employees use their tokens immediately?

No, they will gain access to them stage by stage, each time when platform achieves any of its goals which are described in the white paper.

It's a smart way to protect those token holders who bought TEAM tokens during TokenStars TEAM ICO. Not all the projects choose such a way.

Hello. It’s the first time when I see that someone has united Ethereum blockchain and his own blockchain within the framework of one service. What advantages will such a symbiosis give to the project?

Do you know that recent transaction commissions on Ethereum network are too high? Maybe it is wise enough to build its own blockchain inner network.

You’ve written that it’s unpractical to use Ethereum blockchain to store large amount of recordings ‘cause it will have low transaction speed. Does it mean that transaction speed will be high in your own blockchain?

[KathPine]

What happens when the network runs out of cash to fund the players? Does a new ICO happen to fund the next cohort or are additional tokens sold?

[waitsummer]

I didn’t really understand how TokenStars participants can motivate scouts to perform their work? Isn’t it the platform itself who should do it?

[TokenStars]

Yes. Our blockchain will meet all the needs of TokenStars platform including the high speed.

We plan to fund the project from the raised money during ICO and the received profit from operations.

We think that compensation for the scouts' work will motivate them.

I’ve read in the description of the project that token holders will access exclusive offers from celebrities. What kinds of offers are they, if it isn’t a secret?

[Veecker]

Greetings! Will the company hold any activities on stimulation of growth of value of TEAM coins? It would be interesting to hear what these activities will be like.

[sethme]

After the last ICO failure of ACE, why should we invest in this one ? What would be it's arguments to distinguish it in term of promotion and make sure it reaches a good score this time

An ICO after ICO is really a weird idea. Haven't heard that any project had done this so far. Don't you think that it will arouse too many questions regarding the team ability to run the project?

Hello. Thanks for your question.

TEAM truly broadens modern fans’ perception of entertainment experience. Fans earn and spend tokens, participating and influencing the careers of the celebrities. TokenStars platform provides fans with tools to become closer to their idols, including:

- online and real-life interaction with celebrities (e.g. work out or dinner with a star, one-on-one video chat, etc.)
- voting on the significant decisions (approving new players, renewing the Head of Scouting contract)
- ‘fantasy tournaments’ to select the best Scouts among the token holders
- contests among their fans with prizes (in merchandise or tokens)
- online stores and auctions with celebrities’ personalized goods.

All interactions require TEAM tokens: the higher involvement means higher demand for tokens.

There might be some misunderstanding. Can you elaborate why do you think there was a failure?

Let me provide you with some arguments why ACE was a success that we are improving:

ACE project (and business vertical) managed to show good traction:

1. Signed first tennis players for advertising representation:
- Veronika Kudermetova, 20 years old, the winner of 19 WTA & ITF tournaments, currently No. 66 in WTA doubles.
- Ekaterina Makarova, current No. 3 in WTA doubles, Olympic Champion (2016), winner at Wimbledon.
- Worked with 4 current top-100 players on the non-exclusive conditions for advertising deals.

2. Built a strong international advisory board to search for players in different geographies, to advise on local training academies and to promote TokenStars for attracting prospective talents and broader audience.
- Tommy Haas, No. 2 in ATP ranking. Silver Olympics medalist (Sydney, 2000).
- Anastasia Myskina, No. 2 in WTA ranking. Roland Garros champion.
- Robin Söderling, a Swedish tennis star, No. 4 in ATP.
- Cedric Pioline, No. 5 in ATP ranking. Winner of 2 Davis Cups as a player and one as a captain (2017).
- Maya Kurilova, former Director of Operations at Octagon Russia (Top-3 global Talent Management Agency).

3. Built a steady international pipeline of applications from young tennis talents. Found the first potential professional tennis scouts for the platform.

4. Signed the first marketing deal for Ekaterina Makarova (with Natura Siberica cosmetics brand, $50M revenue) and started collaboration with the top-3 digital agency JAMI (to leverage their brands’ network and sales force).

5. Has shown a strong presence in the media and received multiple endorsements.

6. Launched the platform development. The 1 of the 12 modules is expected to be launched in Q4 2017, as planned.

I do not quite understand what is the point in drafting an expert panel, which includes various famous people? Well, just talk to them, find out what advice they can give for the development of the project and that's it. Why this hype?

That's it, what's the hype. First of all, this is an excellent PR for TokenStars. Secondly, each member of the expert council will constantly share his experience with the development team. This will contribute well to the overall development of TokenStars.

Do not think that these guys need companies only for PR and getting some advice. No, not even at all. Of course, they will have other duties in the company, so they need TokenStars as an expert advice!
