Introducing SEED & ZERA Utilization, Plans to Go Public, and…
*Please note that this is not yet the official ZERA white paper.
The ZERA white paper is coming soon in September! :D
Greetings, Farmers and Pre-Farmers!
There have been lots of questions regarding the SEED and ZERA, their relationship, what we will use them for, and when we plan to go public with them. To answer these questions we have prepared this posting for you. Though it may be a long article, we hope you will take the time to read and envision the direction SEED is heading with us.
The Purpose
SEED Token, like word ‘seed’ means, was created mainly to participate in the Energy Farm(‘farm’) through Farming. ZERA was created to reward the physical proof of work. Therefore SEED is being prepared to be traded only at the SEED Trading Market being set up in Singapore only, whereas ZERA is being prepared as a reward for the physical proof of work, a.k.a participating in the environment protection activities, in the Zeplanter App, which is being developed as we speak.
Introducing SEED and ZERA
SEED Token plays the role of “reserve currency” like gold, and ZERA has the nature of a currency like KRW, JPY, RMB, USD, and so forth. Therefore, ZERA is planning to be listed in Korea, the US, China, and Japan, and can be purchased using the currency of each country. This is to ensure the Harvest you receive from Farming and the rewards you receive through the App can easily be exchanged for the currency of your country.
To participate in SEED’s Energy Farms, you have to use SEED which has high values like that of gold or bonds.
The SEED can be purchased in exchange for ZERA — the currency — in the STM. This way, the flow of funds can be clearly identified by the nature of blockchain, providing transparency and reliability.
We also use ZERA, the unified currency, in the distribution of profits from the participation of Farming.
In other words, the usage area of ZERA are as follows:
1) Token that integrates currencies around the world
2) Rewards for using the Zeplanter App to participate in carbon emission reduction campaign
3) Token that can be used within the Zeplanter App
Moreover, ZERA is being planned to be released into the market through POC method over the next 30 years, and therefore 120 billion quantity will not be released at once.
In addition, the exchange rate of SEED and ZERA was initially estimated to be 1:10 or 1:20, but the ratio is likely to change according to the market situation.
Why do we do what we do?
The Earth is getting hotter each year.
You and I, and everyone around us have felt the heat increase this summer of 2018 compared to the last year, and the forecast tell us that in 2019, South Korea’s May-June temperature will be over 40 degrees Celsius.
The white rhinoceroses have gone extinct, and various other animals and plants including the polar bears are on the verge of extinction. Us, mankind also have suffered the global warming, visible through deaths from natural disasters and heat strokes. It is widely known that if we do not all work together, then the next generation’s existence itself is threatened.
The rich and powerful can move — either temporarily or permanently — to avoid the heat or the pollution, and maintain good health and lifestyle. But over 99% of the population — us, the normal people — do not have the luxury of choice, and therefore we strive towards it in our given situation.
SEED’s fundamental purpose is to create a platform that allows us to become more aware of the environmental issues and together participate as contributors to the Earth’s environment protection campaign in our daily lives through actions or other methods.
Our ultimate goal is to research and develop together to constantly improve the quality of life in the long-term, and rather than simply urging others to participate for nothing, we intent to provide rewards through ZERA tokens and invite all to participate even if it is just with a single SEED that can be seeded.
In developed and semi-developed countries, SEED Farming is sufficiently possible through excess funds. However, for the countries that are still developing, we encourage participation through ZERA, the reward tokens, even if the participation through purchase of SEED is difficult.
How SEED and ZERA Differ from Others
The companies with the goal of developing a platform-based coin that want to start development by collecting a money before listing are inevitably forced to seek for a lot of funding due to uncertainty. If the number of participants who purchased at the initial low price is much higher, this means that the supply is increased. According to the supply and demand, with the supply increased, it is difficult to raise the value after listing except for an artificial(?) method.
There are too many coins being created. And the supply and demand can easily place limitations to coins that have little or no use or purpose.
On the other hand…
In the case of SEED and ZERA, it is based on a business model in which individuals participate in eco-friendly profit-generating business with relatively high profitability because governments in each country will make a steady profit policy.
Revenue businesses, which have already been proven for decades, have been an exclusive property of investment institutions and banks — the vested interest parties — that managed deposits common people(like us) struggled and sweated to save. However, since the birth of the blockchain technology, the 4th Industrial Revolution, the common people are building an on-off line, integrated business platform based on the blockchain technology to acquire equal rights and standing to the revenue as the investment institutions. The more it is promoted, i.e. the greater number of contributors and participants, the more demand over supply will be possible.
Value increases are driven by the vision and trust(proof), and thus we need constant PR and a stable revenue model.
Coin companies that focus on technology development disappear if the technological develop cannot be completed. Even if the technology is completed it will disappear unless it is successfully commercialized.
The valuation(stock price) of the listed companies in the US, Hong Kong, and Korea are based on sales and profits. However, almost all companies in the blockchain market do not have sales and so the evaluation standards were based on technical items and speculative evaluation of future value. However, at the end of the day, sales and profits will be used as the basis for objective evaluation, along with actual technology and future value, so SEED is building all preparations for the future valuation.
We are not saying this will be a piece of cake. Of course, we cannot assume this to be easy; but we have already prepared projects based on our long experiences as well as have new Farming projects that are being prepared. We are also preparing for risk management and stable positioning by analyzing the flow of the rapidly changing blockchain market. In addition to partnering with excellent companies both at home and abroad, we are proceeding thoroughly, being consulted on legal and accounting matters.
A Few Answers about ZERA
The detailed information about ZERA will be revealed in the official ZERA White Paper in September, but let me answer a few answers to frequently asked questions.
ZERA will not be listed in a large quantity at once; rather, it will be generated(distributed) sequentially along with the increasing number of users over years and even decades. Therefore, the initial flow rate will be small and gradually increase.
Farming(in the energy farms) through SEED will continue to increase the demand of ZERA, for the Farmers will be compensated with ZERA purchased by the SEED Foundation.
Because ZERA recruits participants through the smartphone application as a part of the ‘environmental campaign’ to prevent the global warming, Zeplanter App’s revenue model will also emerge, such as the ad revenue model based on membership or access rate like that of Facebook or Youtube.
In addition, as the number of users and holders increases, so does the value of use, so we will also be cooperating with a large number of companies around the world.
In Summary
SEED is a next-generation platform based on blockchain technology with a clear business model. In other words, I think you will understand what we do, why we do it, and the goals that SEED pursues if you view SEED from a long-term point of view.
We are planning a flexible model of virtuous cycle structure to drive the price stabilization by steadily developing new farms and facilitating the purchase of SEED for Farming, and SEED Foundation purchasing ZERA to distribute the profits from the Farms to Farmers.
SEED believes that it will bring considerable value by building an ecosystem through Farming, and we hope you keep watch of our Zeplanter App with POC as a mining method.
Things will become much more clearer once we have the ZERA white paper.
I will let you know when we have it ready.
What We Promise
Although there may be some changes to the schedule, revision and supplementation to the policy. But fundamentally, we will strive with our best efforts to protect the interest of the management and staff, as well as those who participated as Farmers. In addition, we will strive to realize the future profits, while at the same time, facilitate the global environmental protection campaign.
SAVING EARTH, YOU CAN DO IT WITH SEED.
