Product First, Raise Money Later

Sharpe Capital might be one of the very few blockchain-based companies backed by a working product that will be available from day one after the crowd-sale ends. That means sentiment providers can receive some income from SHP from the beginning. Sharpe Capital plans to launch a prototype mobile app that will make accessing the platform easier in early 2018.

With this breakthrough platform, users can make predictions for insight on blockchain assets and the stock market, and receive rewards for their efforts in the form of Ether (ETH). After a user makes a prediction, his reputation will be scored according to the accuracy of it. The more accurate predictions, the higher reputation scores will be. Users with higher scores and higher proportion of SHP tokens will receive more Ether which will be paid monthly. In other words, the amount of Ether each user receives depends on two things: the number of SHP tokens they hold, and the historical accuracy of their predictions.

SHP tokens will act as proof-of-stake in the Sharpe ecosystem. These tokens can be obtained through the Sharpe Capital crowdsale at a rate of 2,000 SHP tokens per ETH. This is a limited opportunity, after the crowdsale ends in February, there will be no further creation of SHP tokens.

A major advantage of the platform is that there is no risk for users to lose SHP tokens once they have obtained them. No matter how accurate (or inaccurate) your predictions are, your SHP tokens are yours to keep.

Sharpe Capital will also operate a proprietary investment fund, both in global equities and blockchain assets, with plans to issue a derivative token instrument tied to its performance in Q1 2019. The current alpha platform is now live which is designed to make trade decisions based on crowdsourced asset sentiment available for all investors.
