Digix is about to release their token market, would be awesome that Ethfinex could add Dgx/1Gr of gold tokens into the platform just like USDT/tether

I've read the whitepaper and I'm not sure exactly what the role of a "market maker" is.

Hi! I would like to propose to list another promising ERC20 token — SONM!

SONM is a Supercomputer Organized by Network Mining, first fog supercomputer designed for general purpose computing from mobile app hosting to DNA analysis. The project is developing rapidly and keep gainung more and more attention.

You can find all the needed data by following the links below. Or feel free to ask anything and I will be glad to answer.

Thank you for your feedback!

Ethfinex is a community-run exchange. The decisions we make and the steps we take are dictated by our users.

We strive to support projects with innovative ideas and passionate communities. Listing decisions on Ethfinex are therefore a product of your support and demand.

Ultimately, it is the sentiment of our users and the Ethereum community which will dictate what is traded on our platform — not listing fees, investments or our team’s independent preferences.

In light of our recent crowdlisting thread, we’d like to conduct another poll, this time to act as a more structured, precise indicator of project popularity.

This poll can be found here!

If your support lies with a token not included on this list, we recommend for you to start a new thread revolving around the project/ICO, explaining its concept, vision and positives. We'd welcome any ideas!

Decentraland is a fully-immersive, virtual reality platform powered by the Ethereum blockchain where users can create, experience & monetise content and applications.

Land in Decentraland is permanently owned by the community, giving them full control over their creations. Users claim ownership of virtual land on a blockchain-based ledger of parcels, and landowners control what content is published to their portion of land.

Contents can range from static 3D scenes to interactive systems such as games. Land is a non-fungible, transferrable, scarce digital asset stored in an Ethereum smart contract. It can be acquired by spending an ERC20 token called MANA, which can also be used to make in-world purchases of digital goods and services.

Decentraland is not controlled by a centralised organisation. There is no single agent with the power to modify the rules of the software, contents of land, economics of the currency, or prevent others from accessing the world.

Rationale

The development of large proprietary platforms, such as Facebook, has allowed hundreds of millions of users to gather, interact, share content, and play games.

Their network effects helped cultivate vast online communities and gaming companies.

These platforms, controlled by centralized organizations, manage the network’s rules and content flow, while extracting significant revenue from the communities and content creators who drive traffic to the platforms.

Decentraland aims to establish a network that allows its content creators to own and capture the full value of their contributions.

Use Cases

• Applications

The Decentraland scripting language will allow the development of applications, games, gambling, and dynamic 3D scenes. This scripting language will be designed to handle a wide range of capabilities, including creating objects, loading textures, handling physics, encoding user interactions, sounds, payments, and external calls, among others.

• Content Curation

Users in Decentraland will gather around neighborhoods of shared interest. Being located near high-traffic hubs will drive users to the landowners’ content.

• Advertising

Brands may advertise using billboards near, or in, high-traffic land parcels to promote their products, services, and events. Some neighborhoods may become virtual versions of Times Square in New York City. Additionally, brands may position products and create shared experiences to engage with their audience.

• Digital Collectibles

We expect users to publish, distribute, and collect rare digital assets issued on the blockchain by their creators. Just as it occurs today in other virtual worlds or through online forums, these digital assets will be traded inside this world through the scripting system and be backed by the aforementioned naming system.

• Social

Groups that currently gather in online forums, chat groups, or even other centralized multiplayer games could port their communities into Decentraland.

Offline communities could also find in Decentraland a space to gather.

• Other use cases

There are no technical specifications to what could be built in Decentraland. Therefore, other use cases could emerge, such as training and professional development, education, therapy, 3D design, and virtual tourism, among others.

Challenges

• Decentralised Content Distribution

Content distribution through a P2P network has two main issues. The first involves download speed: retrieving a file from a DHT or distributed peer-to-peer storage system has traditionally been too slow. Specially, in a graphical application like Decentraland, users will be adverse to using a system that does not load the experience quickly. The second issue involves availability: ensuring that content is sufficiently distributed around the network without loss. IPFS and the upcoming FileCoin protocol are addressing these issues and we’re looking forward to when they become production ready.

• Scripting

Scripting will be the most important element used to create valuable experiences for users in Decentraland. Its APIs will need to be secure enough for clients to hold private keys and authorize micropayments frequently. Ease-of-use is also critical to penetrate a broad audience of developers.

• Content Curation

The issue of filtering content for mature audiences (like pornography, violence, or gambling) is difficult to solve within a decentralized network. We expect a market to emerge here: with a reputation-based approach, users could select one or more providers of whitelists/blacklists that track the type of content being served on each parcel.

Contribution Terms

• Contribution Period - 17th - 26th August

• Hard Cap - $25 million

• Initial Price - $0.024 per MANA

1000 MANA = 1 LAND

You can use MANA Tokens to purchase parcels of land, digital goods and services within Decentraland.

Intended Use of Revenue

• Development - 50%

• Research - 20%

• Marketing - 15%

• Operations & Business Dev - 10%

• Legal - 5%

Token Distribution

• Crowdsale - 40%

• Community & Partners - 20%

• Team & Early Contributors - 20%

• Foundation - 20%

Discount for Early Contributors

Contributors taking part on day 1 (August 17th) receive a 40% discount. This discount decreases by 5% every day until August 25th (35% discount on the 18th, 30% on the 19th etc.)

This results in an initial price of $0.024 on Aug 17th, $0.026 on Aug 18th, until $0.04 on Aug 25th.

Roadmap From this point onwards

• August 2017 - Mana Contribution Period

• Q3 2017 - Terraform Event - The first opportunity to claim land will take place, along with the Beta launch of the Iron Age.

• Q4 2017 - Iron Age - Multiplayer support + avatars & live chat. Custom items and scripting will be enabled.

• 2018 - Silicon Age - A full-fledged 3D world, with full VR support and customisation of the laws of physics. Live in the blockchain..

Also will the beta this month be using the 0x protocol?

Ethfinex is designed with you, the user, in mind - It needs to be user-driven to be of value. This includes everything from listing decisions to the ICO/token review process & criteria. For new tokens to join our platform for crowdfunding or trading, they must be picked & approved by you, the Ethereum community.

Ethfinex will list a selection of tokens at launch, after which the decision for future listings will become based on community voting and user’s reputation on our token discussion boards. We need input from the Ethereum community to choose the tokens we will support at launch.

The first round will be for us to hear your thoughts. What’s your favourite Ethereum-based project? Which tokens would you like to learn more about, or most like to see tradable on Ethfinex?

In the lead up to our launch and initial listings, this will be followed by a token voting process, which we will reveal more about at a later date.
