The use of NFTs

NFTs have become very popular over the last few years, we all know the story of someone who made the investment and had great returns, or we have all wanted to be part of BAYC. But it is clear that the first thing we assign to NFTs is art, and it is a reality that although there are some very cool art design collections, it is not all about NFTs. NFTs go far beyond being art collections with financial and exclusive benefits, so now we’ll share what else NFTs can be used for other than being a unique art collection. Music: We have heard of several bands and music groups exploring the world of NFTs to release versions of their music albums and some of their songs. Certifications and licensing: Every day the way is being paved for us to be able to have our NFT IDs, carrying them in a digital form and with real validity. Sports Currently, some teams have decided to try selling tickets as NFT, such is the case of the PSG team that has sold tickets for its tour in Japan. Property and real estate With the advent of the metaverse and digital properties such as land or smaller assets, eliminating intermediaries in the operations of buying and selling real estate. It is clear that the destiny of NFTs gives for more and it is just beginning, in this blog we already have some latest news entries of curious ways how some companies have used NFTs in creative ways and to their advantage. We hope to see more and more in the future here at The Blue Manakin.

England will allow sending legal documents via NFT

The High Court of England and Wales has granted Fabrizio D’Aloia, founder of the Italian online gambling company Microgame, to file a claim through his lawyers Giambrone & Partners LPP to anonymous persons through an NFT drop to their wallets. This move will allow Mr. D’Aloia to serve legal documents to these unknown users through their wallets. This news is quite significant for the crypto world, as it leaves a precedent in which it will be possible to have one more defense against scams and hacks that are often done through wallet addresses. “This is very important because it shows the court’s willingness to adapt to new technologies and embrace blockchain and, in fact, step in to help consumers where previous legislation and regulators simply could not,” Joanna Bailey, an attorney at Giambrone & Partners LPP who worked on the case, told CoinDesk. D’Aloia said he was duped by an online broker into depositing around USDT2.1 million and USDC230,000 in wallets that turned out to be fraudulent. But thanks to the England court D’Aloia is allowed to sue the responsible persons by sending the court documents through an NFT to the wallets. It remains to be seen what will happen in the future with this lawsuit, because if it comes out well we may see new regulations in the crypto and NFT world. In The Blue Manakin, we want to remind you that although the crypto world is the future of finance, we can still encounter many scams with which we can lose our money, so it is important that before sending money do your best to verify the veracity and that with the slightest doubt you have a stop to think a little bit. Also, remember that we should never invest money that we cannot afford to lose.

How to promote Crypto

Today there are thousands and thousands of cryptocurrencies, so the real differentiator that can exist from one project to another is undoubtedly apart from what it is focused on or the reason why the currency has been created, is its marketing campaign. As we have mentioned in other entries of this blog, we must have marketing specialists who know well the medium of cryptocurrencies in the most popular social networks Sometimes tactics change from project to project, and especially if we are talking about an NFT collection or even an ICO, now we will share some general ways in which we can promote our cryptocurrency on social networks that should be used. The networks and platforms for cryptocurrency promotion are: Twitter:   Twitter will be one of the main means by which you will share everything relevant to your project, here you can share important data and tell what the project is about. Unlike NFTs, the language we should use is a little more serious, since investments in cryptocurrencies are so. For cryptocurrencies, promoters can still be used, but if you have to be more careful since there are usually fewer and since we cannot find so many, we have to select the best ones. Verifying that their engagement is good and not very different from the numbers of followers they have, normally with them you can handle airdrops, Rt, QT, and different tracking dynamics. Twitter ads also work to attract more people, but it is better to first share them through promoters. Instagram: Instagram is still the space where we can have a more personal twist on the project, here we can focus on sharing the mission for which the coin exists through different publications. In the stories, we can share the same as on Twitter different data and statistics about the project and its mission. We can also contact promoters to upload stories and publications, promoters should also verify if they have the turn of cryptocurrencies and not NFT. Newsletter: Unlike with NFTs, with cryptocurrencies, we can manage an email subscription, which we will use mainly to send visual updates on how the project is going. Also, this newsletter can be used as a form of communication to get collaborations with more serious companies and people whom we will see as investors, in the same way, you can share a fairly illustrative newsletter that talks about the project in general and invite you to contact us to talk more in-depth. Linkedin: This social network will help us to promote our project more seriously, also making publications talking about the project, here sharing a little more information as a way of mini-blog. The main thing is to seek to form relationships with people and generate networks of opportunity. Telegram: Cryptocurrency groups on telegram are more common than those of NFT since while they use discord as their main means of communication, with cryptocurrencies it is better to have a direct approach with the people who are buying and investing in our asset, so a telegram group with your loyal investors comes in handy. This is where people will first find out about the latest status of your project and the publications we will make on the different social networks. At The Blue Manakin, we have the tools to support you to make an effective promotion plan for your cryptocurrency project, apart from the fact that we already have a base of influencers and specific promoters of projects with cryptocurrencies, quote us.

Central Bank of France

France starts with the second phase of its CBDC project

The first tests of the first phase in the Bank of France’s trials for a wholesale digital euro have been completed. But now it has been announced by François Villeroy de Galhaula who is the governor of the Bank of France that the second phase of the tests is expected to start this year. They commented at the Europlace International Financial Forum in Paris that four or five new experiments are expected to be launched. The European system is looking at the scope and design of a central bank cryptocurrency (CBDC) in euros. The rationale is that a retail digital euro can maintain the role of central bank money in the economy even when it is “threatened by the digital revolution,” Villeroy de Galhau continued. “I believe that the Eurosystem should not have the role of managing digital euro holdings: the Banque de France closed its last private client accounts more than 20 years ago, and has no intention of reopening any.” The Banque de France’s proprietary technology for its digital ledger is referred to as DL3S, for a possible future system. An automated market maker platform based on a decentralized financial model was also designed, where multiple CBDC settlements will be possible. Further testing will be to see how the digital euro performs with private agents and other central banks, preparing to implement it in the pilot scheme in 2023. Again we see a nation betting on the digital world, hopefully, these tests will prove positive so that many more countries will be interested in leaping to have their fiat currencies converted into digital assets.

Game stop

Game Stop launches beta of NFT marketplace

This Monday Game stop has finally released the beta of its NFT marketplace to expand and offer new digital services. The company hopes to take advantage of its customers, who are gamers and geeks and have the most exposure to the world of blockchain technology and NFTs. The GameStop NFT marketplace will be accessible from multiple cryptocurrency wallets, but mainly from the company’s own GameStop Wallet. The marketplace has found its development through collaboration with Immutable X, thus receiving GameStop some IMX tokens which have been sold for approximately $77 million. GameStop is one of the companies that has been working on ways to innovate within the crypto and NFT world for quite some time, making some announcements somewhat stealthily in the space since May 2021. In January 2022, the stock, which is popular with retail traders, shot up 30% following the announcement of its NFT division. This NFT marketplace could mean a new era not only for GameStop but for many other smaller companies that want to make the leap into crypto innovation. Hopefully, the company’s renaissance through its marketplace will become more noticeable in the future.

PSG NFT japan tour

PSG sells NFT tickets for its Japan tour

French soccer team Paris Saint Germain will return with its Japanese tour for the first time in 27 years, and it comes as an innovation as the ticket for its matches in Japan comes in the form of NFT. Three premium tickets for the Japanese Tour NFT will be available, one for each of the three matches, and will be on sale until Wednesday. Those who manage to purchase their NFT tickets for the PSG Japan Tour will get VIP access to the venue and will also be able to meet and greet with some of PSG’s star players. As this is the first time PSG has returned to Japan since 1995, an NFT will be launched to commemorate the event. PSG’s first match on their tour will take place on July 20 with Kawasaki Frontale as part of the J1 League. Some of the soccer stars present will be: Kylian Mbappe Neymar Jr Lionel Messi  Marco Veratti Marquinhos  All of whom will be on tour in Japan. We see that soccer clubs are among the companies that have more acceptance for innovations related to cryptocurrencies and NFT, being undoubtedly PSG one of the first to adopt them. For since December 2020 they have had their fan token on Binance which they use to encourage the participation of their fans around the world in club affairs. Today PSG stands as the first soccer club to sell its ticket as NFT, but it is worth noting that around the world other clubs are also championing many bullish innovations regarding the adoption of digital collectibles. One example is that in March, FC Barcelona announced that it was preparing to launch its NFT collection and cryptocurrencies. Other clubs, such as Manchester United and Manchester City, are also investing in Web3.0 and the Metaverse ecosystem. We expect to see more adoption of cryptocurrencies and NFTs not only by soccer clubs but also by all their fans.

bitcoin pizza day

Fun facts in the crypto world: “Bitcoin Pizza Day”

If you are a crypto enthusiast you probably taste that every May 22 is celebrated Bitcoin Pizza Day. This is the day on which Laszlo Hanyecz, a programmer from Jacksonville, Florida who, considering the historical maximum to which the currency has reached, spent 3.9 billion dollars in bitcoin to buy pizzas. Well over 10 years ago, Hanyecz posted on the Bitcointalk forum that he would pay 10,000 bitcoins for two large pizzas. The man ordered his 2 pizzas from Papa John’s, as promised, and paid with 10,000 bitcoins which at the time cost him about $41. However, the clever programmer is proud to have played a fundamental role in the construction of the universal phenomenon that bitcoin has become over the years. This is one of the first Bitcoin transactions, the man said that his primary goal that night was not so much to buy a pizza as to prove that goods and services could be exchanged for BTC, as with classic fiat money, and to contribute to the adoption of the cryptocurrency, adding that: 9 months after the purchase, Bitcoin achieved parity with the US dollar, making both pizzas worth $10,000 and in 2015, the fifth anniversary of the Bitcoin Pizza Day, both pizzas were valued at $2.4 million. Despite the astronomical increase in his pizzas, and in the cost of Bitcoin, Hanyecz seems unrepentant.

Titkok influencer Khaby lame becomes Binance’s brand ambassador

Binance adds a new signing by hiring influencer Khaby Lame, the Italian-Senegalese content creator who achieved fame for his viral videos on TikTok about life hacks. Khaby is looking to expand Web 3.0 education so he has become a global brand ambassador. The “Khaby gesture” is his signature as he became a sensation on TikTok where Khaby would critique life-hacks videos in situations that looked complicated but really weren’t, but the cool thing was that he did it without saying a word which led him to be the most followed creator on TikTok, with over 144 million followers on the platform and 78 million followers on Instagram. With the influence of Khabane “Kaby” Lame, Binance will use their new collaboration to help clear up some of the misconceptions about Web3 and work on exclusive NFT collections, further enriching the fan experience. “I consider my fans my family and am always looking for new challenges and interesting content to share with them,” said Khaby Lame. “I’ve been curious about Web3 for a while now and have embraced this opportunity to partner with a leader like Binance because it aligns perfectly with what I do: making complex things easier and more fun for everyone.” As we discussed with Binance’s signing of Cristiano Ronaldo, the exchange is leveraging public figures to bring the crypto world to people who had always wanted to take the plunge but were afraid to do so, and seeing more and more well-known people getting into this place is making people lose that fear. We hope to see more collaborations like this in the future.

crypto Whale

Bitcoin Whales who are they?

In the world of cryptocurrencies, various scales have become popular, in which most use different animals to pigeonhole the many investor profiles. The largest investors in digital currencies are known as “whales” It is customary to call such players with a minimum of 1,000 BTC. Several of them are known, such as Pantera Capital or Coin Capital Partners, even if other influential addresses are not known. It is complicated to know to whom the addresses belong or whom the entities hold the largest portions of Bitcoin. However, reports provided by analysts and professionals allow speculation as to who might qualify for this set of giant fish. So a whale is an actor that trades vastly more money than the average investor so they possess the power to manipulate it up or down. As an example, when whales begin to hold their bitcoins for extended periods, it indicates a good future for the cryptocurrency and there is speculation of a rise in its cost. The opposite may also happen. Once whales massively sell an asset, other smaller investors tend to continue the trend, and consequently, it can cause a drop in the cost of the currency. Not only can monumental organizations be known as whales, but some have speculated that there are individual investors, popularly known in the crypto world. One example is Satoshi Nakamoto, who is the first to mine and hold this asset and is believed to have around 1 million bitcoins. Other known investors who could receive the title of whales are the Winklevoss twins, who in 2013 mentioned having 1% of all Bitcoin and who could currently collect more than that. The whales as a group have not diminished, but they have increased, so they will continue to accumulate large amounts of bitcoin and act as holders for a great period more. Other denominations to know are as follows: Shrimp: less than 1 BTC Crab: between 1 and 10 Octopus: 10-50 Fish: 50-100 Dolphin: 100-500 Shark: 500-1,000 Whale 1,000-5,000 Humpback whale: more than 5,000 bitcoins Many times while navigating this immense world, we may come across terminology that we don’t know or fail to understand so here at The Blue Manakin we will do our best to help you understand this vocabulary in the crypto world.

crypto marketing

Crypto Marketing. What is?

A cryptocurrency marketing strategy is something important for companies that are entering or looking to enter this crypto world to grow and prosper. This must be planned consistently, this is crucial for any type of token, ICO, NFT, or cryptocurrency can be effective, because without one are few projects that manage to reach the soft cap. But what is the most important thing to take into account about this industry? The cryptocurrency market has expanded dramatically in recent years. There are thousands of companies with their tokens or coins so if you are a new company or want the one you already have to gain traction in this super-competitive environment it is important to take into account some strategies to take advantage of with digital marketing. Before discussing these strategies, you must first consider the objective of what you are going to market, many people think that ICOs, cryptocurrencies, and NFTs have the same marketing method but the reality is that they are not the same. The strategies are as follows: Create a website (works for all 3): A site designed efficiently and that is pleasant with new users with a logical path helps a lot, besides you have to look to make clear any doubts that may exist. Newsletter (more for ICOs and cryptocurrencies but can also apply to NFTs): Always collect emails when you start encouraging your project, which is going to serve to start creating a list of subscribers to whom you can send the latest news about the project through an easy-to-read and attention-grabbing email. Networking on LinkedIn (ICO): It is a network that works perfectly to establish assignments and reach potential sponsors and influencers since its advantage is that people in this social network are more accustomed to direct messages about business. Social networks ( The 3): The importance now with common networks like Twitter, Facebook and Instagram are good for anyone to get to know you, a tip here is to keep them always updated, uploading eye-catching content and creating interaction with users. Discord (mainly NFT but it can also be applied with cryptocurrencies: It is one of the most important things for projects to have a space where all the people interested in the project can live in the same space together with the creative team. Here you can offer the latest news about the project, segment the community by roles, and help to avoid scams. And so many other things that we at The Blue Manakin can help you set up Airdrops (The 3): Sending free coins or tokens help promote your project, these pitches are popular with investors and get people interested in the project. Podcasts and live interviews (All 3): Podcasts and streams are becoming more and more popular and there are many that talk about the crypto and investment world, having one is a good way to educate people about your product apart from having a high-quality reach. Verify your project (all 3): Let experts analyze your blockchain and ICOS projects and look for positioning on project rating websites. Influencers (All 3): A mutually beneficial assignment is created, where the influencer shares information and product advantage with their loyal audience, with whom they equally consent, giving you equal critique for review and analysis. But you have to keep in mind when getting an influencer that their content is relevant to the brand and what you want to communicate. It is also important to verify what type of content our influencer shares since you will not give an ICOs project to one that only talks about NFT in their channels. Telegram (ICOS and cryptocurrencies): Telegram contrary to many social networks, allows crypto ads, apart from the fact that because of its end-to-end encryption it offers better security to operators. Using it well involves creating a committed community through its groups. Get advice from a crypto marketing agency (all 3): You can look for a marketing agency in your country or prepare your marketing team with some course. Always looking for that you can learn or advise everything about the crypto world.

Never fear the truth

Johnny Depp makes a donation of NFT profits to a children’s hospital

The original collection gathers 11,100 Johnny Depp “Never Fear Truth” NFTs which have been handmade by the famed artist himself. The fact that has attracted many people to this collection apart from the fact that they are made by the pirate jack sparrow himself is the holder of these tokens, that can have both the “non-physical” and the “non-physical” option to purchase each painting for sale. Both of which are kept within the marketplace. However, only 10,000 NFTs are available for sale, while the other 1,100 NFTs are held in the hands of the performer. Depp’s art is portraits of his loved ones, such as close friends, people who have inspired him throughout his life, and even himself. This art is made in a Pop Art style that is full of strong and appealing colors, consonants, and triggers when it comes to expressing something. The Never Fear Truth community has grown quite a lot, they already have more than 2K owners of the art. Another attraction to this art is that it comes with a cause since the actor decided to donate 25% of the proceeds from the sale of his collection within the Rarible platform, to several specialized and recognized foundations. So currently Johnny Depp has already donated almost $800,000 dls to charities from the sale of NFT, dividing the money between: La Perth Children’s Hospital Foundation La Great Ormond Street Hospital Children’s Charity The Footprint Coalition El Children’s Hospital of Los Ángeles. It’s nice to see what NFT collections can accomplish beyond being a money-making goal. Many times the characteristics that can make a project stand out the most are the background they have and when they are made for a charitable cause thus using blockchain as the means for anyone in the world to participate and own a piece of it all.

ICO

What is an ICO (Initial Coin Offering)?

An ICO is the initial offering of a coin and has to do with the financing of a project that aims at the birth of a new cryptocurrency. An Initial Coin Offering is a fairly popular funding process in the crypto world whereby the developers of a project offer an early token sale to the public to raise funds and develop the token project. If we contribute more money to the ICO, more tokens will be given to us. Early investors or people who buy in the ICO phase because they believe in the project or simply because when the project manages to develop with the funds collected, the coin will be in high demand and this will positively impact the price of the asset. What are ICO sales like? Sales can be open to the public so that anyone can invest with any amount of money they wish for They can also be reserved for private sales with investment funds and other major investors in the market. The procedure is a free choice for developers. It is always important to keep in mind that the idea is that you are not selling an investment asset, but you are pre-selling an asset that can be used within a platform. Advantages of ICOs: The authors of the new currency do not have to achieve financing from banks or investors. For individual investor users, it serves to finance highly innovative companies directly. In the end, we can say that ICOs are a new way to start a startup, for the moment it is something that applies mainly to the world of cryptocurrency, but there is the possibility of financing projects outside this world because of its ease and disassociation from third parties such as banks or investment funds. On the other hand, people who want to invest in an idea they like can do it without any problem of being rejected.

Tectum

Tectum: the fastest Blockchain in the world

During the rise of NFTs, one of the big problems was the deficiency of some blockchains with lack of scalability, which proved to be detrimental to any further development. So many projects have been working to solve these problems and scale their networks without sacrificing security and decentralization. One example of this is Tectum. Tectum’s Blockchain? Tectum is a platform that uses a proprietary record change signature management algorithm and its blockchain is capable of handling more than one million transactions per second calls which are referred to as “Events”. This handling achieves rapid delivery of event status, as well as network-wide property updates, along with distributed levels of access to the system’s functional modules. But one of the most striking features of the Tectum blockchain is the ability to store hashes assigned to the original data that is stored at a lower level rather than directly on the blockchain. Which manages to more effectively isolate transaction information and validation using hashes along with signing and encrypting packets at the transaction end. The main purpose of this is to make the event-related information instantly verifiable and also accessible to the public. So Tectum has become a suitable choice for applications such as: Geopositioning recording Internet of Things (IoT) Billing records Logistics Municipal or legal records storage In essence, the network processes packets, blocks, and virtually everything while keeping it at the top level of its blockchain. This is the main reason why Tectum can achieve such substantial transaction throughput without sacrificing security procedures. Blockchain is something that as technology advances and the use of cryptocurrencies is increasingly adopted, it is going to evolve until we can see better applications in different fields is a unique process that every company will want to have.

How to Find NFT Influencers

Over the last decade with the increased use of social media the word “Influencer” has become a common word to hear in our day-to-day lives. What is an influencer? We can say in a simple and summarized way that an influencer is a person who stands out in some media, by which he/she expresses opinions on some topic, which is transmitted and generates a great influence through his/her audience Cryptocurrency influencers are now a diverse group. Some earn money by promoting products, while others have no financial motive other than they are interested in the topic and want to promote the cause of cryptocurrencies. Given the breadth of their objectives we can talk about some types of crypto influencers: People involved in the development of cryptocurrencies or services involving the crypto world. · Influencers who invest in one or more innovative projects in the crypto world. Researchers who write about what’s new in cryptocurrencies Analysts who are more focused on price analysis and who publish investment advice. Finally, the job of a crypto influencer is to implant an idea in the minds of their community. And we’ll leave you with some of the advantages they can give us: Information International news ·Scenario analysis, Price forecasts. Now we will go to what we have to look for in the most used social networks in the world of cryptocurrencies such as: Twitter: Twitter is undoubtedly one of the main social networks when it comes to the dissemination of a cryptocurrency, here the influencers we will look for are those who have a good engagement. Many times we can find verified accounts with millions of followers but their publications barely reach 5 likes. So it is always the first thing we have to visualize in the accounts of these influencers. One of the best tactics is to make collaborations with them, use Rt, Qt and giveaways. Discord: In discord is where the community moves, here the influencers are not so present since it is not only one person, in discord, it is better to move through the servers with many people that are active. In them, you can talk to moderators to give better visibility to your project through collaborations and activities within their server. Instagram: On Instagram, we can find specific users that can help us to promote our project through stories or publications. But one of the advantages that we can find in this more visual network is the cryptocurrency and NFT news account Telegram: Telegram is somewhat similar to Discord since we are not looking for a single person but a group dedicated to the dissemination of crypto projects, which can help us with the pinned message and more organic and direct dissemination through the users present in the group. While we have left some tips to make the search for influencers in the most used social networks for crypto and NFT projects. Our main recommendation is to turn to a marketing agency focused on this world for a better diffusion.

More and more new NFT projects keep appearing in the market and one way to get a secured space in the mint of these is through the Whitelist. The Whitelist is a way in which both users and creators of the collection can win, as users are given the opportunity to get the NFT at a low cost while for the creators, it serves as a list to get an idea of how the sale will go, even with this first exclusive mint you can get an initial fund to start moving the project further on the roadmap. How to join a Whitelist? Here we will share some recommendations for finding and joining Whitelist projects: Get to the project before the mint date All NFT projects in their early stages will have a Whitelist with a limited amount of slots, so if we get to the project on time we can see what activities the creators are doing to give away a spot on their WL. Join the social networks and the NFT project discord Every good NFT project has social networks mainly Twitter and much more important, they must have a discord server. Many times on their networks and discord there are competitions or invitational activities where the prize is a spot on the whitelist. In these accounts is where we will find the most updated information about the collection. Follow the instructions to join an NFT whitelist Each project manages its whitelist differently so it is important to always check what are the requirements to join a whitelist. Normally in the collection’s discord server, we can find a channel usually called #Whitelist-info. The whitelist is important because they give us an opportunity to join collections for lower prices, it is a way to get even closer as a user to a project. What is important to mention is that many times by DM both in discord and Twitter we can receive messages offering us places in a whitelist or telling us that we have been selected, many times these messages can be a scam. Remember that no moderator or project founder will send you a DM.

Coca Cola to launch a Pride collection of NFTs in polygon

The world’s most popular beverage company has entered the world of NFTs by launching an “NFT Pride Collection” whose proceeds will benefit LGBTQIA+ charities. This is a collection of 136 video files featuring Coca-Cola bottles with the inscription “Love,” which will be found on the Polygon network characterized by its low rates. “The limited-edition pieces feature an exclusive version of the iconic Coke bottle with artwork by Rich Mnisi, fashion designer and leading LGBTQIA+ rights activist in South Africa” posted Open Sea the most popular marketplace for NFTs. The acquired NFT is a surprise until the last minute. On the collection’s website, there is a section marked “Mint” and after making the payment, which as of today is equivalent to USD 134 in Polygon currency, the user will know his new token. On July 4 there are already 95 tokens issued from the collection and even some of them are already for resale on Open Sea or other marketplaces. So there are another 41 tokens left that can be purchased at launch price. Today we don’t taste if we could get a guarantee that the investment we will make will be increased, but that’s not always what the market is about, since this collection supports a cause and sometimes that’s what matters, the love of art and this NFT world in which we believe in both.

How to write a White Paper for Cryptocurrencies

Every crypto project that you want to rely on must have a white paper which is a document that includes all the detailed information about what you want to achieve with your project, its architecture, and the interaction with the users. A whitepaper should contain these points: Introduction: Write an introduction that hooks people to continue reading the rest of the whitepaper, you can start by giving the objective you hope to accomplish to talk about it later, explain the benefits and give an overview of the content that we will find in the whitepaper. The team: Introducing the team is an essential and fundamental part of the white paper, it is the human part inside a document full of technical specifications, you can include photos and small descriptions of the team such as what is their role in the project and their experience within the crypto world. Table of Contents: White Papers are technical documents, so on average they can have from 25 to more pages, so we can place a table with all the contents to touch, so the reader can locate the important topics and even read will the document by the topics that most interest him at the beginning. The objective of the project: This is where we start talking in-depth about the project, so take as many pages as you need to explain what is most important, explaining what the project is and where it is headed. How you are going to achieve it: In this part, you can talk about the prototype data, first users, development strategy, and a bit of the road ahead. Tokens: We will use this part to talk specifically about the tokens that make up the project, the way they work, and what their special features are. In the end, this is the image of the project, it is what people are going to see visually in their wallets so we have to give it a good presentation. How the funds raised will be used: It is necessary to show investor users where their money is going to be going in the early stages of the project so that they have a better notion of the investment they will make for the development of the project. The roadmap: Every good crypto project should present a detailed roadmap for the next 12-24 months, which you can make eye-catching by showing that it has been completed and where along the road the project is going. Legal Notice: Do not forget to place a legal notice or disclaimer, which should contain any important legal restrictions or notices. As certain regulations in countries and in general things help to indicate that in the end we all risk for the project and if it does not go well we all know what we were getting into. Alternate Modalities to White Papers Next, we will show additional documents to the white paper which are intended to complement the information found in the White Paper. One Pager A document that describes the White Paper in a more summarized form, normally with an extension of one or two pages at the most. Yellow Paper When we have complex innovations at a technological level, a yellow paper helps to describe well all these ideas and serves to expose to the investor if the team has the necessary technical capacity to develop the project correctly. Beige Paper It is a less technical and complex Yellow Paper for the understanding of all audiences. As final tips when preparing a White Paper we must use a formal writing style, without spelling mistakes and almost perfect writing is very descriptive and professional. We should review it more than once before publishing it and we also recommend translating it into the most spoken languages so that it can reach more people. At The Blue Manakin, we help you with your white paper to make it as detailed and eye-catching as possible.
