MoatFund is a Fund Managing Protocol administered by Smart Contract deployed on Ethereum Blockchain which maintains the immutable records of all operations, generating a transparent and secured network to manage the funds on blockchain technology.

Confused? Lets get things into perspective.

Smart Contracts. What are they?

Smart contracts are the codes running on a decentralised world computer (aka ethereum) which helps you trade money, property, shares, or anything of value in a transparent, conflict-free way, hence allowing credible transactions without third-parties (middlemen). Smart contracts have the potential to eradicate the middleman. They offer independence, trust, cost savings, productivity, precision, and backups that traditional contracts (banks) cannot offer.

So Instead of putting the taxi driver out of a job, blockchain puts Uber out of a job and lets the taxi drivers work with the customer directly — well stated by Vitalik Buterin (Founder of Ethereum).

As per the recent stats, the Ethereum blockchain is, without a doubt, the most active smart contract platform in existence. Of the top 100 tokens by market cap, 94% are built on top of Ethereum. Of the top 800 tokens, 87% are built on Ethereum. Most of these tokens are “ERC-20 tokens,” which made possible the majority of the $5.5 billion raised through token sales in 2017 and the $6.5 billion raised in just the first quarter of this year.

We can even conduct a nation wide democratic votes on ethereum blockchain. Canada already started using Ethereum blockchain to enhance transparency in govt funding.

The existent abilities of Ethereum Blockchain based Smart Contracts cannot be fathomed. One of which is Implementing Decentralised Autonomous Structure (DAO) in a country, company, organisation or a non profit venture (which we have applied in our crypto project, MoatFund).

MoatFund is a Fund Managing Protocol Powered by Ethereum Blockchain with DAO Implemented.

We built a crypto protocol, MoatFund, intending to shift all major activities of the Fund Managing Industry-run by smart contracts implemented on Ethereum Blockchain, which is publicly accessible and can control the entire network of fund managing capabilities.

MoatFund is deliberate to disrupt the PMS (Portfolio Management Service) industry by constructing a decentralised model to manage funds. As already mentioned, the absence of intermediaries (middlemen) makes the procedure much simpler and faster.

Everything follows the pre-written code. All contracts are accumulated in the blockchain, in an encrypted form. The objective of the system is that no one can modify the smart-contract codes. In addition, private keys are used for signing, which increases the level of security, leaving out no chance to scam the system.

You read it right. Yes, there’s no legal agreement and no third party interrupting the system. Yet, your funds are completely safe and protected in the MoatFund Protocol. No one can scam the system. It is trustworthy, consistent and decentralised.

MoatFund is defining the smart contract protocol of Portfolio Managing Services (PMS). It is the combination of 6 interconnected Smart Contracts running on Ethereum Blockchain;

1. Fund.
2. Unit.
3. Board.
4. Address. (Added recently).
5. Asset. (Upgraded recently).
6. DEX. (Upgraded recently).

How to invest?

Meanwhile in its expansion stage, MoatFund will continue to upgrade its investment processes and strategies according to the latest blockchain drifts.

Recently, our developers team, launched our up-to-date version of MoatFund (MoatFundv2.0), which is proposed to significantly fasten up the process of concluding transactions with improved security.

To learn more about investing in MoatFund, click this, to examine the Step by Step process to invest in MoatFundv2.0.

Board Members play a very vital role in Implementing Decentralised Autonomous Structure. They will vote for each and every investment proposal deployed on smart contract.

Our team at MoatFund will draft the proposal with specific fund (like 2.5 ETH investment for SugarCoin) and all the Board Members will vote in “favour” or “against” for the proposal.

If the voting result is in 50% favour, we will receive the funds or not the funds will be sent back to the place it came from (i.e. Fund Contract). Also, we cannot fetch more ETH than what is proposed in the proposal.

The whole process is beneficial to ensure the protection of funds, efficiently and securely managed via smart contracts.

MoatFund Assets.

At MoatFund, we have done profound analysis of numerous cryptocurrencies. Read their whitepaper, used their market ready products (if any), interacted with their team, did peer analysis as well as compared project growth vs market value.

We consider investing in protocol based tokens as they are decentralised, hence they have the competence of surviving hereafter. Our MoatFund portfolio is mostly concentrated with protocol based tokens (ZRX, KNC, OMG, RCN, RDN, MANA, REQ etc.).

There are a few handful of cryptocurrencies which will outlast the bubble with exponentially high returns and we are extremely determined to find those cryptos and add them in MoatFund.

Fund Operations.

We are developing MoatFund operations to a wide range of Ethereum Blockchain based projects.

• Utility tokens: We will heavily invest in protocol based tokens which can sustain even without having any central reliance. Decentralisation means no single point of failure, but instead a network that has 100% uptime.
• DAI creation: It’s the first ever decentralised USD pegged token on Ethereum Blockchain. At MoatFund, we will indulge in DAI creation process. It’s like loaning yourself money!
• Security Tokens: We will see a speedy boost of security tokens in 2018. Tokenising assets will be real and a materialistic trend in crypto market, we will see in the future. Going forward, at MoatFund, we will always prefer security tokens over utility tokens.
• Crypto collectibles: Assets that will be tokenised in the near future such as equity (private and public), real estate, venture funds etc. will be duly added to our investment strategy.

MoatFund dApp (decentralised Application).

We have introduced our very own MoatFund dApp. It is a simple interface to track your MoatUnits which will also facilitate the investment and redemption process of MTU.

To access the dapp, you must be on a desktop browser with Metamask extension installed.

[Future Rollouts] Start Managing Funds on Blockchain.

Our future rollout will expose our protocol to all the fund managers who want to start their fund managing protocol on blockchain without handling the technical aspects of managing smart contracts and let them show their expertise in managing funds and cultivating returns for their clients.

An article has been written about how literally ‘anyone’ can start managing funds on our protocol alongside putting forward our initial idea on our brand new MoatGovern (MGV) Token, click here to find out more.

Advancements so far.

At MoatFund, we truly believe in honesty as our policy and transparency as our intention. Recently, on the 10th of June, MoatFund v2.0 was launched with a change in smart contract protocol and investment strategies.

The potential is evident, and will only increase as things progress. There’s still a lot of updates in store.

Our new protocol supports upgraded token contract, MoatUnits (MTUv2). All the existing unit holders are requested to migrate their MTUv1 into MTUv2. It’s a one step process: MTUv1 >> MTUv2.

We have plans to integrate almost all of the DEX trading platform. Our initial launch will include Kyber Network. It’s one of the best DEX with high liquidity. Instead of matching buyer and seller, they had introduced a concept of Reserve Managers who buys and sells tokens.

MoatFund Quarterly Report (June 2018)

Amidst highs and lows and couple of lessons learnt, we are pleased to have completed our first quarter successfully. So far, we have raised 38.76 Ether with 203,493 MTU issued to 25 early investors.

In our quarterly report we have put forward our recent activities, assets under management and future plans but also the lessons we learnt during this quarter, to view it click here.

Future Improvements.

• Using DAI as base currency at MoatFund. It’s sometimes really hard to track the performance of fund due to fluctuating nature of ethereum.
• Board members will be rewarded for voting and maintaining the decentralised governance in MoatFund.
• Changing the team incentive model to fixed annual fees and a fraction of profit.

Disclaimer; Here’s an honest statement that most of the crypto projects refrain to say — We sincerely apologize for spoiling the excitement, but it’s really important. Buying MoatUnits is extremely risky. We expect to have a very volatile crypto market where the price may plunge or spike by double digits in short spans. If you can’t handle the 50% drop or start dreaming lambos after 500% spike, don’t participate in MoatFund Unit Offering! We are expecting investors with long horizons.
