GUAPCOIN

GUAP –urban vernacular (slang) for money, an abundance of money.

GUAP Coin is a cryptocurrency (digital money) developed to impact underserved

communities primarily and give them a vehicle to get more out of the money they spend.

Our mission is to reinvest in our communities as the default –not as analternative.

VISION & MISSION

Utilizing blockchain and cryptocurrency, GUAP Coin solves the problem of the ”disappearing

dollar” in communities of color. Our platform empowers community businesses and

merchants to accept cryptocurrency and enables them to thrive from a loyal consumer base

who takes pride in supporting businesses that prioritizes building economic strength in their

community. Our mission is to create a new statistic, one that reflects economic growth in

black and browncommunities.

WHAT IS GUAP COIN?GUAP is a next level initiative that infuses the “buy black” movement with blockchain technology to incentivize the Black community to invest in itself. Guap coined the phrase “tokenizing Black spending” as a means to capture our spending and show us the power of our dollars.

WHAT IS BLOCKCHAIN?Blockchain is a decentralized public ledger that permits trustless transactions between independent parties without the interference of governments & institutions. Blockchain technology forms the framework for true economic freedom.

WHAT IS ECONOMIC FREEDOM?The freedom to prosper within a country without intervention from a government or economic authority.

GUAPCOIN

GUAP COIN

Imagine establishing your business, your business rights and ownerships, creating binding rules and procedures on Guap. Imagine creating and voting on business protocols that affect the quality of service of businesses in our community. Or uploading your digital content (music) on the Guap music platform and establishing rights and rules of usage on your music, most importantly being paid what you are truly worth.

This is the vision we are implementing using GUAP.

GUAPCOINECONOMY

Guap is a decentralized platform with a built in governance that gives Black-owned businesses the weight of commercial authority, and utilizes them to underpin the network. Guap will ultimately evolve into a blockchain that will be widely adopted everywhere hence we have coined the motto “Good Uses for All People”.

What differentiates Guap from other blockchains such as Bitcoin, Litecoin, and Ethereum is that it was created to serve the needs of an underprivileged community first and foremost. At the very beginning, there will be a shared community effort to launch, educate, and grow from the inception of the genesis block.

GUAPCOIN

The Benefits

Participating in Guap will be both economically and socially rewarding.One of the key benefits is the creation and governance of a treasury offunds that can be used to stimulate economic growth.

How is this “treasury” distributed?

Voting rights – Guap wallet holders and masternodes will vote on proposals for the distribution and lending of funds accumulated in a treasury pool. Qualifying proposals will range from lending to new business initiatives to lending for business expansion. This governance gives Guap the ability to grow into being a leading Small business lender within the black community.

What Are Block Rewards?

Block rewards are incentives for nodes (participants such as miners or masternodes) to lend their resourcestoprocesstransactions.Without blockrewardsablockchainwould nothavethesupport itneeds tofunction.Thesenodes (participants)formthebackbone ofanycryptocurrencyor coin.

What Are Masternodes?

A masternode isaserveron our decentralizednetwork.It isutilizedtocompleteunique functions inways ordinary nodes can’t. Our masternodes will be used for features like direct send / instant transactions or privatetransactions.Theownerofthe masternodewould havetohold apre-specifiednumber ofcoinsto qualify as a masternode.

Voting Rights

GUAPCOIN

How do we determine who gets voting rights and why does that matter?Because our core mission is to create an economic foundation for Black-owned businesses we want to guard against efforts to cheat or sabotage the system. For instance new users coming into the platform, never supporting any of the businesses, and given the ability to submit proposals for funds and vote on those proposals . We want to preserve the integrity of the governance.

Proof Of Participation ProtocolPOP is an algorithm we developed to establish voting rights for an individual in a manner that is fair and maintains integrity for the core principles of our blockchain.

Business & Organization Registration

GUAPwilldistinguishbusiness addresses frompersonal (consumer addresses) via our business portal GuapX. Businesses and charitable organizations will register to the portal and undergo a brief trust verification. This information will be used to submit request for fund proposals publically. These request for fund proposals willundergoavote throughthe website.Fromthereon dependingon theresults of thevote theirproposal will be submitted to the blockchain to be voted on by the Guap Governors(Masternodes).

PROBLEMAccess to crypto – the people that stand to benefit from the economic freedom that cryptocurrency create, do not have easy access to obtaining it. Some people have no access at all.

Merchant Simplicity - At the current time it can be cumbersome for merchants and businesses to accept cryptocurrency – despite the cryptocurrencies have real value.

Mass Adoption – It is widely agreed that mass adoption is what’s needed to bring cryptocurrency to the mainstream but the solutions aimed to establishing mass adoption have not been implemented amongst influential markets
