Dimensions Network approaches the cryptocurrency ecosystem in a businesscentric and operative way. We focus on research and innovation which will lead to tangible results within a projectable timeframe. We learn valuable lessons and build knowledge while solving real world problems, and use this to leverage our position within the market.
We have started by building a centralized Derivative Trading Platform that supports coin pair trading, options contracts and futures contracts. We anticipate a great interest for these new
derivatives and a substantial return on investment. Moving forward we will expand our services onto a decentralized network, and offer our users cryptographically secure derivative trading.
We will leverage our customer base and industry knowledge to develop a realtime transactional currency. We will build out solutions and focus our rollout on geographies where there is significant friction in the existing banking system, and hence a great opportunity.
We will share our success with our token holders by allocating 15% of the platforms trading fees to their Ethereum Addresses. In addition to this, our token holders will receive an equivalent share of the new tokens generated for our realtime currency.
Dimensions Network is one of these organizations, and we have multiple objectives to complement instead of compete with existing initiatives. We will stand on the shoulders of giants, and use their exceptional technologies to build real world solutions which will generate solid returns.
Vision:
Build and operate the most professional cryptocurrency trading platform, with a full range of services from coin pair trading to options, futures and other derivatives. Establish ourselves as the leading Centralized and Decentralized trading platforms within the crypto ecosystem with interconnected liquidity pools. Disrupt the fiat currency system by using our hard fought innovations to establish a realtime cryptocurrency with global reach and accessibility to the masses.

Mission:
A financially sustainable approach to cryptocurrency trading and development, and to overcome major technical and industrial challenges facing the crypto industry.
Our Approach:
  • We constantly survey the market and stand on the shoulders of giants when building our platform. 
  • We use systems and software used by the major banks to achieve scalability and redundancy of our trading platform. 
  • We follow industry established lessons learned where possible. 
  • We deliver both centralized and decentralized solutions, and link them together to give our customers the best choice and experience. 
  • Operating the business will give us valuable market insight and connections with our customers. We will use this information to develop technologies and products which better match our customer requirements. 
  • We will utilize our profits to further develop our platform, which will add the strength of our platform and give us a competitive edge. 
  • We target developments which produce a soon, certain and positive impact to our revenues, and do not reinvent the wheel or waste precious resources when existing open  source solutions are available. 

Our Stakeholders
 We are highly conscious about return on investment. With our proven startup background, we understand very well what it means for a business to be generating revenue soon after it has launched.


Our Umbrella Plan:
Phase 1 – Centralized Platform – Rapid Revenue Generation
Build a scalable high performance trading platform for: coin pairs, margin, shorting, options contracts, futures contracts. This platform will deliver significant financial returns as the appetite for hedging and leverage grows, and will help towards funding future developments.
Phase 2 – Decentralized Platform – Security and Transparency
Our second objective is to utilize decentralized networks to replicate our platform. This will allow unrestricted, fully transparent trading, free from centralization risks. The initial Liquidity on this decentralized network will come from linking this new decentralized platform to our existing centralized platform. The two platforms complement one another and allow breathing room for the future development of decentralized technologies and protocols. Users will be able to interact with our platforms in a manner which best suits their desires and risk profiles.
Phase 3 – Real Time Currency
Our third objective is to produce a real time transactional currency and exploit our customer base to gain traction in key markets.
Futures Overview:
A Futures Contract is an agreement between two parties – a buyer and a seller – wherein the former agrees to purchase from the latter, a fixed amount of cryptocurrency at a specific time in the future for a predetermined price. As futures contracts are standardized in terms of expiry dates and contract sizes, they can be freely traded on exchanges. A buyer may not know the identity of the seller and vice versa.
Advantages:
  • Futures contracts allows hedgers to shift risks to speculators. 
  • It gives traders an efficient idea of what the futures price of the cryptocurrency will be. (Market driven consensus) 
  • Gives an indication of the future supply and demand dynamics. 
  • Since it is based on margin trading, it allows small speculators to participate and trade in the futures market, by paying a small margin instead of the entire value of physical holdings. 
Risks:

  • Margin leverage both amplifies losses in the same way it multiplies profits 
  • The increased complexity of futures contracts may lead to excess losses in beginner users.

SKARA ICO REVIEW

Image result for skara ico

SKARA is a new entertainment universe that includes a multiplayer competitive eSports p latform, narrative role playing (RPG) games and mobile apps in a rich fantasy world described in a series of novels to be published January 2018. SKARA is one of the frst games to overcome this barrier by creating a new
cryptocurrency in the form of an ERC-20 token based of f the Ethereum blockchain called SKARAT (SKARA Token - SKT), which can be traded on the
open market. Through this new vehicle, participants in the SKARA community will be able to buy, sell and trade in-game assets without having to go to shady black
markets.
Legal and compliance
SKARA will be playable for free. Players will be able to acquire dif ferent kinds of assets in SKARA using two dif ferent currencies, a sof t currency called Shard (that you can earn by playing the game) and a premium currency called SKARAT (which you can acquire with FIAT money). The SKARAT (SKARA Token) is a unit of value that will be created to self-govern our ecosystem, and empower SKARA users to interact with other products, while facilitating the distribution and sharing of rewards and benefts to all of our community and stakeholders.
Most SKARA assets that can be bought with SKARATs are purely cosmetic and don’t provide a competitive advantage in-game since we aim to become a competitive eSports game. Some of these assets will grant special abilities or higher stats but only in certain non-competitive game modes such as single-player mode. SKARA will always be free to play and free to win. In order to incentivise players to keep playing and spending money in SKARA, we need a large community of gamers engaged continually, this is only achievable with retention mechanics that will encourage participation. This is why the dual currency structure is important - the sof t currency Shard rewards players who spend time in the game and helps keep them engaged.
SKARA TOKENOMICS
The following assets will be achievable for free by playing Skara, using
shards, or by leveling up:
  • Common, Rare and Epic skins and weapons.
  • Avatars
  • Frames for avatars
  • Sprays
  • Common Emotes
  • Common Victory Poses
  • Voice Lines
  • Character Add-ons (beards, scars, tattoos, etc)
  • Banners
  • Dyes
The following assets will be available by spending SKARATs:
·       Purchase of unique player skins
·       Purchase of Legendary weapons and items
·       Epic and Legendary Victory poses
·       Boosts
·       Purchase of in-game territory
·       Player-to-player trades
·       Players will be able to bet on dif ferent events (i.e. tournaments, championships, leagues…) using SKARATs
·       KARATs will be used to deploy events’ awards for those
participants
·       Professional players will receive part of their gains in SKARATs
SKARATs and valuable game items will be stored in a decentralized blockchain on the user’s dedicated Ether wallet. The game will allow the user to link his blockchain identity (wallet) to his account in SKARA. Accounting for game assets through the blockchain allows the users to take the value of their game items outside of the SKARA universe. By having the freedom to buy, trade and sell items, Skara assets (including SKARATs) become even more collectible and valuable.
Using tokens
When a SKARAT enters the game, it gets parked in a SKARA - The Blade Remains Wallet, tied to a player’s account. When the reverse process takes place, the token is moved from SKARA - The Blade Remains Wallet to the new owner’s Ethereum wallet, and this SKARAT is no longer in the game. All such token transactions are stored on the blockchain. The SKARA - The
Blade Remains game server has access only to those tokens that are held in the SKARA - The Blade Remains Wallet.
Players spend SKARATs on unique game content, on player-to-player trades, or by participating in SKARA Tournaments (whether playing or betting). All this daily activity by the millions of players we are forecast to have playing SKARA creates a constant demand for SKARATs on the open market.
When a player purchases something, e.g. a weapon or a boost, from the game itself, we burn 50% of spent SKARATs, and move the remaining 50% to a special account called Game Funds. Burning half of the SKARATs involved in every in-game transaction provides inflationary price pressure on the market value of the remaining SKARATs as the limited supply of SKARAT tokens is continually reduced.
Ways to purchase SKARATs by a player
  1. SKARAT (SKT) is the token issued in the Token Sale.
  2. SKARATs are ERC20 compliant Ethereum smart contract tokens.
  3. Only ETH will be accepted as a contribution. You can use certain
    exchanges such as Evercoin, to contribute with Bitcoin, Litecoin, Dash and
    other cryptocurrencies. Contributions coming from exchanges will not be accepted and the money will be lost.
  4. To contribute into our token pre-sale or to comply with our Whitelist
    procedure:
·         Visit https://www.skaratoken.com/
·         Provide your email, telegram username and amount expected.
·         A minimum of 10 ETH will be accepted for the pre-sale.

ETH/SKARAT price: We cannot determine the exact amount a token will cost in ETH until the token sale starts due to price fluctuations.
We will update the price of ETH according to the market at 2PM (CET) each day af ter the token sale goes live in order to adjust for any price fluctuations. To see the current SKARAT value, go to www.skaratoken.com

MOMENTUM - MobileBridge Momentum

MOMENTUM
MobileBridge Momentum
Platform and Token


Image result for momentum icon




MobileBridge is set to revolutionise the world of marketing and customer loyalty by redefining the way in which companies build and manage relationships with their customers. We are launching the world’s first blockchain and crypto-token based marketing automation platform and the Momentum Token. It allows companies to use the Momentum Token or launch their own crypto tokens to more accurately engage and reward their customers in exchange for their attention, business, brand advocacy and data insights, whilst giving the consumer full control over their personal data.
This breakthrough redefines the way in which companies and customers mutually drive and perceive the value they get from each other. It transforms the traditional and outdated distribution of marketing budgets by shifting acquisition and retention budgets towards those who matter most to the bottom line: the customer. With the MobileBridge Momentum platform, consumers can earn crypto tokens by investing their time, attention and good-will to promote the companies they like. The Momentum and company-branded tokens earned can be redeemed in a company reward program or exchanged into real-world money or other crypto currencies like Bitcoin.
The MobileBridge Momentum platform enables companies to:
  • Launch their own, or co-branded, token-based incentive and reward scheme
  • Build up a detailed understanding of each customer by using accurate and actionable data
  • Engage using relevant and effective 1:1 conversations with customers and their friends
  • Reward customers with crypto tokens, discounts or other incentives, by for example:
·         Making a purchase
·         Providing insights about themselves by completing their user profile, sharing their preferences, plans or habits or filling in a quick poll or survey
·         Posting reviews, videos or blog posts about products they bought or services used
·         Learning about new products, clicking ‘like’, watching a video or playing a game
·         Sharing information or promotions with friends, e.g. by sharing a review of your new running shoes with five of your running friends they will be notified of promotions next time they are near the store.
  • Enable consumers to collect crypto based rewards inside the physical store using mobile and AR, as well as online
MobileBridge has already developed a ground-breaking, mobile-first marketing automation platform, which is live and has been used with great success by some of the worlds most respected brands, including Burger King, Volkswagen, Dansk Supermarked and Pirelli. However, extending this platform with a significant amount of blockchain based features and functions, such as token-based incentives and rewards and consumer-controlled profile management, will take it beyond
anything the market has ever seen, with opportunities far beyond abilities.
VISSION
Introducing decentralised 1:1 blockchain driven marketing. Even in its own right, the current MobileBridge platform is a solution that is gaining great traction in the market and we are looking at strong growth in 2018. As the market continues to develop, we will continue to evolve our platform strategically. We have seen in the current version of our platform, that incentivizing consumers to take certain actions, using gamification or rewarding customers with discounts or loyalty points has been a very successful and disruptive concept.

Introducing the MobileBridge Momentum Platform
The MobileBridge Momentum platform combines marketing automation with a token-based incentive and reward system. It transforms the way companies do marketing.
The platform covers the entire lifecycle of a consumer; from becoming aware of a brand, to evaluation activities and the actual purchase. It continues to drive marketing activities post-purchase, such as the creation of reviews and the direct marketing of customers to their friends. They in turn help other consumers to validate the brand and strongly influence their buying decisions. Consumers can earn rewards and incentives centred around three areas; their own attention, business and data, activities in the broader community and activities related to their social network and immediate friends and family.
Personal data
The MobileBridge Momentum platform will not only allow retailers to reward users for the use of this data, it will also enable users to have full control over their data. It removes any security and privacy concerns and addresses inevitable legal changes to protect customer data such as the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) that will be rolled out in 2018.
The MobileBridge Momentum platform addresses the following common privacy issues:
·         Data Ownership – All users own and control their personal data. The MobileBridge platform recognises the users as the owners of the data. Companies are guests with delegated permissions.
·         Data Transparency and Auditability - Each user has complete transparency over what data is being collected about them and for which purposes it is used.
·         Fine-grained Access Control - The user can change the permissions and revoke access to data collected on the system. The access-control policies will be securely stored on the blockchain and only the user can change them.
OUR PLATFORM
Current MobileBridge Solution overview
MobileBridge is a 100% cloud-based, B2B SaaS platform and is based on modern languages such as React and NodeJS and database technologies such as mySQL, MongoDB and Elasticsearch. Our microservices-based architecture is highly scalable and highly flexible. It processes and interrogates huge amounts of data in real-time, combining historical data with inbound data streams to create great customer experiences for our clients when they are most relevant. Our analytics platform provides detailed insight into the success of activities run on our platform, providing detailed insights into how best to improve the user experience for higher returns on investment.
The MobileBridge Momentum Platform on the blockchain
Looking for appropriate technology to support our next generation platform, the MobileBridge team opted to use blockchain technology and launch a token to support its operation; the MobileBridge Momentum Token. The blockchain provides us with benefits that further strengthen our platform and proposition;
·        It provides data transparency and enables full data ownership for the end user.
·        It enables ledger capabilities, allowing for rewards to be easily distributed and controlled.
·       It allows us to spin up further coins that enable third parties to run their reward applications on top of the MobileBridge Momentum platform.
The MobileBridge Momentum Token
The MobileBridge Momentum Token is a utility token which will be used as:
  • A rewards and loyalty token - used to reward consumers for their attention, business,
    brand advocacy and data insights
  • A “gateway” token for branded rewards and loyalty tokens - the Momentum Token
    allows consumers who own company branded tokens (e.g. Best Burger Token) to
    convert those tokens into Momentum Tokens on the MobileBridge platform. Once
    they have Momentum Tokens, they can keep it in their wallet, trade it or exchange
    Momentum Tokens into other crypto-currencies1.
  • A platform payment currency - used by companies who are using the MobileBridge
    Momentum Token to pay for using the platform
  • A Crypto-currency - an encrypted decentralised digital currency, holding value and
    transferred between peers

A “gateway” token – ‘to’ and ‘from’ company branded rewards and loyalty tokens
The MobileBridge Momentum Platform allows companies to launch and reward users with their own branded rewards and loyalty token. The Momentum Token allows consumers who own company branded tokens to convert those tokens into Momentum Tokens. Once they have Momentum Tokens, they can keep it in their wallet, transfer it with peers or exchange Momentum Tokens into other currencies.
A platform payment currency
The MobileBridge Momentum Token will be the only accepted payment currency used for paying for the use of the new MobileBridge Momentum Platform (MMP). MobileBridge shall burn 30% of all tokens received as a mean of payment, the rest being re-sold into the market in order to cover company costs. Due to the nature of blockchain, and the transparency it offers, companies paying using the Momentum Token for their services, always have a clear
grasp what and how much they are paying. There will be multiple models to choose from, including a “Pay-as-you-go” pricing model which allows companies to easily adapt to changing business needs without overcommitting budgets yet offering full flexibly and responsiveness to changes. Companies can adapt their business depending on need and not on forecasts, reducing the risk of over allocating or undershooting capacity.

A cryptocurrency
The MobileBridge Momentum Token is an ERC-20 compliant Crypto token. The Momentum Token makes it easy for consumers to convert the rewards
they have earned into any other crypto-currencies such as Bitcoin and
Ethereum.
The MobileBridge Momentum Platform evolution
In order to introduce the advantage of the blockchain capabilities into our platform as early as possible, we are planning to phase the rollout of various key features.\
Step 0 – Provide transparency on user data
Step 1 – Transforming the marketing paradigm
Step 2 – Allow for industry collaboration
Step 3 – Enhancing existing loyalty systems
Step 4 – Future use
Benefits for the consumer
Ultimately the MobileBridge Momentum Platform will bring consumers two things they don’t get today; relevant marketing that is actually connected to what they care about and a share in the value they bring to a brand or retailer. However, underlying these benefits there is more:
  • A better, more relevant customer experience will make relationships with your favourite brands so much more seamless, enjoyable and valuable – get to a ‘win-win’ situation with the brands you like and that respect you.
  • Messaging and promotions will only ‘appear’ when it’s timely and part of your user experience – no more unnecessary spam.
  • Get rewarded for explicitly sharing your profile and preference data, for your engagement, your advocacy and ultimately your trust and repeat purchases you make.
  • Exchange your rewards for real, portable value. Decide how you want to spend your rewards. Exchange your Momentum Token-based rewards for fiat currency, other retailer branded tokens, or maybe even pay directly with the Momentum Token.
  • Your personal and reward data will be stored in a secure and transparent fashion – you will have control over what data you would like to share at all times.

Benefits for the marketer
For companies using the MobileBridge Platform, it will drive significant efficiencies by enabling them to target customers much more efficiently, reward them for their engagement and purchases and still save significantly on their market spend.

  • Build user experiences that seamlessly weave your strongest digital and physical assets that match your consumers’ needs ‘in the moment’.
  • Finally get to a point where you can build real engagement and real relationships with the consumers that matter most. Excite them and unleash their creativity to support your brand.
  • Grow your target audience with pre-qualified individuals, aided by your best customers. Reduce your cost of acquisition (CAC).
  • Increase conversion rates and revenue through better content, better personalisation and better activation enabled by tangible rewards and incentives.
  • Build lifetime value (LTV). Retain those consumers that you have worked so hard for to acquire and turn them into loyal customers that not only continue to buy from you, but become active brand ambassadors.
  • And for the first time, gain detailed insight into your marketing spend beyond your digital estate. Understand which activities, data or promotions drive the highest return, allowing to precisely control your spend.
