Token Swap ERC20 into CPY.
As outlined in our roadmap, we will initially launch an ERC-20 token on the Ethereum blockchain. In Q2 2018, we will performa token swap of the 100.000.000 ERC-20 tokens onto our new chain. At this point, node operators will be eligible to receive compensation in CPY for securing the network using our Proof-of-Stake consensus model.

Pre-sale and public sale (60%).
A total of 60% of all tokens will be available for purchase by the public / community during the COPYTRACK Initial Token Sale by the Distributor. During the Pre-Sale, the distributor will sell one-third of these tokens, i.e. 20% of the total amount, for a discounted price. The other two-thirds, or 40% of the supply, will be released in the public sale to people on the COPYTRACK Whitelist. At the end of the token sale, all remaining tokens will be burned.

Business Development (20%).
20% of tokens will be allocated for business development and to fuel future innovation. These tokens will be released over atime frame of 3-5 years in order to establish the CPY-token as a means of payment wi-thin the digital image ecosystem and for community initiatives.
Founders, Advisors & Strategic Part-ners (20%).
At the same time, in order to build, support and scale COPYTRACK in the present and the future, the founding team,
advisors and strategic partners are awarded a total 20% of the token supply. The founders committed to the following lockup period and release plan:
After a 6 month cliff 25% and every month thereafter 5% of their allocation.

By introducing a distributed database for images, we are moving image copyright registration, licensing and payments to the blockchain. This will reshape how photographers and creators protect, track and monetize their work in the following ways:

No more image theft
By registering images directly on the blockchain, all their usage and distribution will be registered. Creators are automatically notified whenever an image is being used.
Global copyright database
The open and global database of rights-holders and their work allows users to easily license and track their creative work.
Fair & transparent compensation
The CPY token directly connects creators and clients and facilitates transactions via smart contracts. Creatives are in full control of their own pricing and licensing options without any intermediaries, who nowadays take cuts of up to 70%.

COPYTRACK´s Current & Future Business Model
COPYTRACK will set the precedent for a global, transparent and decentralized register for copyrights of digital content. At the same time, COPYTRACK will implement the first use-case for the decentralized ledger: The Global Copyright Register for Images, followed by a transparent Image Marketplace.

The Future of Digital Content
Our new platform consists of 5 layers and begins with creating an account, followed by the upload of images, proof of authorship and ends with the artist exercising full copyright control. After creating an account, an artist will upload an image. We will then perform an audit on the authenticity of the authorship and if successful provide a blockchain- based certificate to prove ownership. From here on out, the artist maintains complete copyright control.

Copytrack is the undisputed market leader in uncovering image theft with headquarters in Berlin and Singapore and subsidiaries in New York and Tokyo. Over the past three years we have helped the photography community to claim image rights in over 50.000 of unsolicited use cases.
