White Paper

ABOUT THE PROJECT
Cryptogene's mission is to provide blockchain-based solutions, especially for African countries. The project targets Africa as its primary base and seeks to create better integration and development using the plethora of advantages the blockchain technology offers. We intend to bring cryptocurrency and blockchain technology mainstream on the continent


THE GOAL
| Educate |
| Adopt |
| Implement |

Cryptogene is building a hub which would bring blockchain technology mainstream in Africa through education, awareness creation, and implementation of blockchain based services. This, the Cryptogene project aims to achieve through the application and use of blockchain tools by producing quality products and end-user services valuable to enthusiastic and engaged individuals


BACKGROUND
Cryptogene was founded mid-December 2016 as a Telegram community where people of all nationalities converge to share useful, verifiable information regarding cryptocurrency and the blockchain technology. It expanded further to accommodate interests on building valuable and problem-solving cryptocurrency solutions using the blockchain technology
With emerging trends in the global cryptocurrency space, there was the need to improve, engage and take problem solving outside of the vicinity of online community group chat. Creating more public awareness, developing, and managing the public perception of the technology as well as a faster integration into daily lives became paramount


BLOCKCHAIN MULTI-PLATFORM HUB
Cryptogene is building a hub which would bring blockchain technology mainstream in Africa through education, awareness creation, and implementation of blockchain-based services. This, the Cryptogene project aims to achieve through the application and use of blockchain tools by producing quality products and end-user services valuable to enthusiastic and engaged individuals


PROJECTS
The Cryptogene team will continually work to provide various use cases for the CGT token. However, our initial use cases include:

Digest
A wiki-like blockchain platform for knowledge sharing. It will serve as a well-structured platform for bridging the gap between the professionals and newbies in blockchain void of much technicalities

blockMART
Allows users to list their items for sale. And connects buyers and sellers. This is targeted at entrepreneurs and retailers who would accept cryptocurrencies as a form of payment for their goods and services

Havene
A system where currencies and other digital assets can be exchanged with cryptocurrencies without the traditional barrier of borders. The Cryptogene Token will serve as the base currency for this exchange

Spiel
A social media platform useful for communication or inviting members to organized social events. It would be similar to bitcoin talk forums but tokenized. This would be the advanced phase of the parent cryptogene telegram group

Silk
Allows members to share their blockchain ideas and get crowd-funded for a start-up. Also, developers and other related service providers could pledge their involvement if the owner of the idea requests such. Another interesting feature is the ability for a member to post a concept and let the idea be developed by community members by brainstorming. The participating members then become stake-holders in the project after a proof-of-idea has been verified. Silk comes with a voting mechanism that enables individuals who stake the platform’s token have a degree of vote to implement a project

[ddh343]

ICO is still nearly 1 months from the date of sale. Will there be a bounty or an air drop for warm-up?

Looks interesting. Where in Africa are you most likely to start your (ad)venture?

Oh... in your white paper under Abstract, "paved way for more applications" should read "paved the way
for more applications"

why token supply 5.000.000 ?
I think it's very little, is there any reason for that amount

The idea was not to create alot of token in circulation  for the pre-sale and beyond so as to increase CGT's value, excesses would be burnt. For the ICO, 20,0000,000 CGT would be created and sold for $0.1. As cryptogene project commences, it's various use-cases would also increase the demand and value for the  CGT as this would be it's base token for all its projects. Also plans are being put in place to further develop it's own blockchain in advance phases of this project.

[auroboros]

this is a very brilliant idea for the development of cryptocurrency, everyone knows that Africa is a continent that does not get a complete educational supply, with this project, education, especially education about crypto, will reach the whole of Africa, but there will be many obstacles and challenges that will be encountered as well as with cooperation with local government, I hope the team can overcome it all, so guys, hopefully run well and succeed

[adarwis]

is this a new thread? Why?
I see you have no problem with the old thread
but anyway, I really like this project and all the concepts, although the development is not fast, but hopefully goes according to plan

[Musicrela]

It looks very good

The ICO will begin it says on 24th September, is there a fixed date for the end of it or until all tokens are sold? I made an overview video in Chinese but am thinking to make one for ICO details as well later on. Here is my Chinese overview of Cryptogene:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=egxOiA0ZVgs&feature=youtu.be

[Rengganis]

I really love the roadmap, very unique, this project also has an interesting concept, africa is starting to become the attention of the kryto businessmen, but I'm not sure crytocurrency will berkembng quickly there, but anyway, I'm very interested in your ICO, good luck
