WHAT MAKES BEAUTIFUL PRODUCTS

The XResearch, Crypto Online Media Platform

Company Description

A cryptocurrency insights portal powered by the blockchain:

  1. XResearch, Crypto Online Media is an all-in-one crypto insights portal and media platform for investors worldwide
  2. The XResearch, Crypto Online Media platform will be built to serve both investors in cryptocurrencies, blockchain companies, and ICOs and anyone interested in learning more about cryptocurrency markets who may one day decide to invest.
  3. Investors will access the XResearch, Crypto Online Media platform through a CoinDesk-like website, where a menu of services will be offered for free with the objective to build traffic to the site and promote click-through links to paid research and services.
  4. Later iterations of the XResearch, Crypto Online Media platform will allow users to become validating nodes and will also feature a members-only contributor portal as well as automated reputational scores with a dedicated section for contributor content, ranked by accuracy score and automated member voting.

ICO Structure

Open to all non-US, non-China, and non-India participants

Due to concerns regarding regulatory uncertainty surrounding ICOs in the United States and outright bans of ICOs in China and India, the XResearch, Crypto Online Media ICO is only open to participants who are not citizens of the United States.

Why an ICO?

How we intend to validate and launch XResearch, Crypto Online Media

  1. The XRES coin is an ERC-20 token that runs on the Ethereum Virtual Machine and is used as our primary method of payment for many XResearch, Crypto Online Media services, and offerings.
  2. All data, research, agency ratings, recommendations, and community member contributions will be stored in the hashed form on the Ethereum blockchain for validating and auditing the performance of contributing members on our platform.
  3. Funds from the ICO sale will primarily be used to develop the ongoing infrastructure of the XResearch, Crypto Online Media platform.

Transparency for crypto-investors and traders

Creating a recognized source of accurate information

  1. Lack of transparency is a significant problem in the ICO marketplace. ICO firms are dispersed globally, and many of them provide limited information with milestone roadmaps and distribution of funds raised.
  2. XResearch, Crypto Online Media believes a significant opportunity exists to become a recognized source of accurate information and data for the cryptocurrency economy by providing professional due diligence of ICOs, blockchain companies, and cryptocurrency groups.
  3. From time to time, XResearch, Crypto Online Media expects to initiate buyback programs funded by profits or through token-burn mechanisms.

XResearch Business Model

  1. XResearch, Crypto Online Media will offer email updates on progress to date and a dashboard preview of what members can use. This will be available to non-subscribers and will include crowd-sourced research brought to the platform by verified nodes on the main net.
  2. Subscribers who wish to receive proprietary research from the XResearch, Crypto Online Media team or XRES validated contributors may pay for services with fiat, XRES coin, or other approved cryptocurrencies, like ETH.
  3. In addition, XResearch, Crypto Online Media will offer advisory services through our B2B platform to prospective issuers of ICOs and to institutional clients such as banks, asset management firms, and hedge funds, as opportunities present themselves.

Technology & Business Model For The Solution

XResearch, Crypto Online Media Platform

Publishing site and a members-only site

XResearch, Crypto Online Media will feature two separate post-ICO websites: a free site that anyone can visit and a members-only site that can only be accessed by XRES Token holders.

  1. Public website As described in Section 4.2 of this whitepaper (MVP), the public XResearch, Crypto Online Media website will be a free, content-heavy publication, like CoinDesk, but with a focus on blockchain- and ICO-related research and news. It will be open to all visitors, without restrictions.
  2. Members-only website and dashboard Sending and receiving cryptocurrencies and tokens, while simple in theory, can often be frustrating in practice.

The XResearch, Crypto Online Media Ecosystem

How XResearch, Crypto Online Media runs

  1. The XRES DApp The third iteration of XResearch, Crypto Online Media will be a decentralized application, or DApp, run and maintained by the community.
  2. The XRES Wallet Each XRES Token holder must complete a one-time setup process to obtain their unique XRES Wallet, which is not associated with their member profile.
  3. An Immutable Audit Trail of Performance Validators, Contributors, and Verified Contributors.

Getting paid for contributions

Validators, Contributors, and Verified Contributors

There will be three primary types of service providers in the XResearch, Crypto Online Media Ecosystem: Validators (validating nodes), Contributors, and Verified Contributors.

  1. Validators The XRES DApp will allow any XRES Token Holder to enter the member dashboard, click on “Become a Validating Node”, and run our code on their machines, creating a master node network.
  2. Subject to change In return, Validators will receive XRES tokens as compensation for performing their duties as nodes.
  3. Contributors, any XRES Token Holder may choose to contribute their own research content for review.
  4. Verified Contributors Contributors may choose to undergo verification to publish paid content to the community.

Paying for services

Advertisers and subscribers

XResearch, Crypto Online Media will receive its revenue from two primary sources: Advertisers on our publishing website, and Subscribers (paying XRES Token holders) on our members-only website.

Advertisers We invite advertisers to contact us directly about advertising on the XResearch, Crypto Online Media publishing website.

Subscribers If an XRES Token holder wishes to subscribe to our core team’s research (or to one of our verified contributors), they must pay the specified number of XRES Tokens to the corresponding public address.

Fiat or Crypto?

All XResearch, Crypto Online Media core services can be paid for with XRES Token or specified fiat currencies. At some future date, the XResearch, Crypto Online Media team may decide to accept other non-XRES cryptocurrencies as payment (e.g., BTC, ETH).

Minimum Viable Product (MVP)

Free content available to all website visitors and email subscribers

The Minimum Viable Product (MVP) will be a website similar to CoinDesk where users have free access to a variety of data services, including but not limited to lead news stories, scrolling new stories, market quotes, YouTube videos for training and marketing, an event calendar, and links to social media.

Paid services (B2C)
