[ANN] Enigma Catalyst - Build Your Own Crypto Hedge Fund

An Introduction to Enigma Catalyst

Catalyst is a platform for crypto-focused traders, data curators, and investors.
It is a platform that empowers anyone to build their own crypto hedge fund and participate in the coming Renaissance of the financial ecosystem. Our vision is to enable developers to build winning investment strategies, a strong track record and attract investment from community investors. Catalyst is a playground where developers, quants, and experienced traders can easily build, simulate, and eventually live trade cryptocurrencies using sophisticated programmatic strategies. Regular investors can then invest directly in winning strategies through our system. With this, we’re hoping to make smart-investing in this new emerging asset class accessible to everyone.

Over the past decade, data has become the most valuable digital asset. Some of the largest companies in existence base their core operations, not to mention revenue, on the consumption and analysis of massive data sets. Companies like Bloomberg and Thomson Reuters have built an empire of companies around data aggregation: the two companies have combined revenue of more than USD20 billion.

There are numerous very successful companies that are built on monetizing data their customers produce. In the financial realm, Yoddle and Plaid are great examples. Elsewhere there are location-data driven companies like Foursquare, not to mention tech giants Facebook and Google, which primarily collect and monetize data.

But, despite its significant role in our economy, data remains consolidated in the hands of a few large organizations. For anyone but those entities, it is not fungible or tradeable.

With the introduction of the Enigma whitepaper back in 2015 (at the time, a research project at MIT), we’ve set a single goal to break down data silos and enable data sharing. We believe that to achieve this goal, a single, open-source protocol for a decentralized data marketplace needs to exist, where data can be openly exchanged in return for incentives.

We are not alone in this belief — within a couple of months our whitepaper has been downloaded more than 100,000 times, earning it press coverage in esteemed news outlets. Further, we are fortunate to have some of the best VCs in the world supporting us in achieving this vision, including Floodgate (early investors in Lyft, Okta), Flybridge (early investors in MongoDB), Digital Currency Group and Pantera (top investors in the blockchain and cryptocurrencies space).

This is a lofty goal, one that will take years to fully materialize. But if done right, here is what we could achieve:

More open data will be available for research.
More people and organizations will reap the benefits of selling and controlling their data.
Data’s value would become explicit, as opposed to implicit (which is the case today).
Data sharing could be revolutionized in the same way Bitcoin has revolutionized payments.

WHO WE ARE

We are a team of MIT graduates, advised by professionals with decades of experience in the finance, technology, and trading industries.

The ENG Token - Catalyst's native token

We believe that to be successful, native tokens should have real utility — you should never create a token just because you can, and you should not invest in any token whose purpose you can’t understand. It is important to us and to our community that ENG serve a critical and transparent purpose for all stakeholders.
Most generally, Catalyst tokens are used to reward creation by and for the community (e.g. trading strategies, data sources) and are consumed when community members access premium services on the platform.



Right now we are focusing on the following token dynamics:



Primary: ENG is used to access  data sources on the de-centralized Enigma Catalyst Data Marketplace. Payment is on subscription level.

Secondary: ENG tokens are used for incentives to grow and ensure stability of the network. ENG tokens are used to create demand in the data marketplace: Reward tokens are provided to quants with winning strategies. This incentivizes more quants to come on the platform and consume data to refine their strategies and gain an edge.

BitPotus,

I'm one of the founders of Enigma - Here's some insights from our lawyer:

Our legal counsel Marco Santori’s (Cooley) 20 tweets about tokens & SEC - main story is, utility tokens are not securities. Catalyst is a utility token and “the future is bright for non-securty tokens” - https://twitter.com/msantoriESQ?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw&ref_url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.c[Suspicious link removed]m%2F2017%2F07%2F26%2Fsec-moves-closer-to-taming-wild-west-of-digital-currencies.html

[TheCrimsonFucker]

Incredible, what are the real possibilities? If this project comes off the paper it can be something real amid so many false promises, later on I'll read the whitepaper, hope they work hard and deliver the best!

[ozcankican]

We are working very hard to achieve our vision of creating a decentralized data marketplace that will initially be used for crypto investment decisions. We are releasing a blog post this week detailing our vision. Happy to have you excited!

Cheers - PS - I am a co-founder in Enigma

Update: We have just reannounced our social bounty campaign in the Bounty forum!

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2057194

The campaign will run August 1 through our token sale August 21. Please read the other thread for more information. Thanks for your support!

Interesting project I'll have a look at the bounty campaigns and see what's going on with those! With all the ICO's though I can't help but wonder if it would be worth it to invest in anymore projects but your project at least has a whitepaper so it'll be worth having a look. Do you guys plan to use escrow for the funds and is there a certain marketcap you're looking for with the 100 million tokens or is it just how every much investor feel like giving you?

Hi - we are a legitimate, experienced team with outside funding and a released product, so we hope to get your attention thanks for looking into us.

Our cap is $30M for the token sale. We will continue to update this post with information.

Interesting concept, good team and development..

would suggest team to check out Irfan bounty site for social media campaign
its nice and easier to manage

Good, I've seen bounty portal owned by irfan_pak10, he's really great, a bounty manager does not have to bother to check manually, but irfan's platform is still in repair phase, but the problem is over, you can use that dev

[vingaard]

Interesting concept, waiting for bounties program...
