SimpleChain Foundation Council Election Guidelines
The SimpleChain Foundation is a non-profit organization for SimpleChain, a supporter and promoter of the SimpleChain open source blockchain community. Its mission is to make SimpleChain a fully trusted ecosystem that will benefit the new global business world, while reducing costs and reducing asymmetry.
The SimpleChain Foundation consists of the Foundation Council and the Technical Steering Committee (TSC). The Council serves as an idea leader, community promoter, and strategic guide in the early stages of SimpleChain development. It is responsible for the overall management of the development of the SimpleChain community, and Council members reach decisions by voting.
The current Council is made up of 5 founding members. This election will add 9 members to expand the Council to 14 members. All 14 members of the Council will share the obligation to promote the development of SimpleChain and receive equal salaries.
Candidates for this election will be from the SIPC.VIP community, the B.VIP community, the SIPCFans community, and other communities that support the development of SimpleChain. All members of the SimpleChain community can apply to be a candidate and participate in voting. To be open and transparent, this election will be run on SimpleChain through an election smart contract.
On January 4, 2019, SimpleChain mainnet was officially launched. In 2019, we witnessed the rapid expansion of the SimpleChain community, as well as the implementation of SimpleChain applications in various fields. In 2020, during the second year of the SimpleChain Foundation’s operation, through the election to add new Council members, we hope that more SimpleChain enthusiasts will join the Foundation, and use their knowledge, talents and resources to facilitate the Foundation, inspire the community, and advance SimpleChain technology promotion, application implementation, community development and ecosystem construction. Each and every member of the SimpleChain community will play an important role in this election. You votes will determine the future of the SimpleChain community.
In 2020, together let us build a stronger community, a more autonomous community, and a more prosperous, transparent, and inclusive SimpleChain ecosystem.

How Are Official Candidates Selected?
After application is closed, the SimpleChain Foundation will verify the SIPC addresses filled in by the applicants, and top 10 SIPC holders based on coin age (number of coins multiplied by number of days the coins have been held) among the applications will become official candidates.
The Council will also select 5 candidates from the SIPC.VIP community and 3 candidates from the B.VIP community, based on factors such as coin age and influence.
18 official candidates will go through KYC through SimpleChain communities, and their information will be announced on the SimpleChain official website. To activate, a candidate needs to transfer 128 SIPC to the election contract.
How to Vote?
Voters cast votes by transferring SIPC to the election contract and putting down in the transaction note the address of the candidate they are voting for. 8 SIPC constitute 1 vote. Any transactions of less than 8 SIPC will be invalid and returned to the voter address. One voter address can cast no more than 128 votes (1,024 SIPC).
Based on the votes obtained, 3 new Council members will be elected from the B.VIP community, 2 from the SIPC.VIP community and 4 from the community applicants.
After voting is closed, all SIPC used for voting will be automatically transferred to the Foundation address as community donation.

About SimpleChain
The mission of SimpleChain is to simplify the blockchain for business.
SimpleChain is a PoW main chain with flexible sub-chains. Different sub-chains can adopt different kinds of consensus and block data structure as needed, to enable a variety of applications and use cases on blockchain. Sharding is also implemented to improve performance. This double-layered structure of one main chain and multiple sub-chains can fuel various applications while ensuring the consistency of the network.
Built on VeraxChain, SimpleChain’s first sub-chain, Baoquan.com provides record keeping services which serves to keep records of online data and authenticate electronic evidence. In June 2018, Hangzhou Internet Court of China judged a case of copyright dispute based on data stored on Baoquan.com. For the first time in China, the legal effect of the electronic data stored on blockchain is recognized in the judicial system.
