Overview
Introducing to you Vanywhere-Skill- Sharing Marketplace.
Life from the origin has been all about man hustling and atleast striving to survive and provide for his basic needs. The quest for this survival mission within a community, has led people into gathering of different skills and roles. As such, new skills continue to emerge from them. Example, those who excelled at fashioning tools could produce enough to trade them for food. As humans continued developing new skills from pottery to textiles, agriculture and metallurgy, society began to value the importance of individual skills. Suddenly, a ceramic jar could be traded for something else, such as yarn, copper tools, or wheat.
Vanywhere’s Vision:
Vanywhere believes in the power of human interactions, of talking face to face, of listening and responding in real time. First and foremost, Vanywhere is a platform that is based on — and powered by — individuals.
Vanywhere’s Vision is to be A Comprehensive, Mainstream Skill-Sharing Ecosystem That Revolutionizes The Way People Search For And Receive Solutions. The Platform Will Provide A Single Address For Any Kind Of Need From Live Advice To Freelance Projects, Online Education And More, Replacing Existing Options With A More Intuitive, Interactive And Thorough Solution.
Vanywhere is already building a diverse community of people and skills. From chefs to stylists, and programmers to designers, the skills included represent the richness and diversity of the world. Whether connecting live with a celebrity chef while cooking dinner, talking with a crypto expert about the latest ICOs or getting live fashion advice from a social media fashion influencer, Vanywhere gives people access to personalized experiences they never had before. And it gives the people with those skills a new way to market themselves and generate income.
A new digital currency for a new economy
As part of the new economy, Vanywhere has embraced Qtum blockchain technology and is bringing cryptocurrency to a mainstream marketplace with its QRC20 token, named VANY. Using blockchain and tokenizing the ecosystem enables Vanywhere to reduce dependence on 3rd party providers and payment gateways, resulting in a dramatically lower commission.
As the driving idea behind the brand is that everyone in the world has a skill that they can market and monetize, it is essential that it’s truly accessible to everyone. Blockchain technology with peer-to-peer payments democratizes the playing field and gives everyone an equal opportunity to market their skills, even if they don’t have a bank account.
Opportunity
The freelance marketplace and skill-sharing economy are growing exponentially from day to day. On the one hand, they represent a new vision for a workforce, yet at the same time, they are still tethered by the rules and restraints of yesteryear. Vanywhere is upending the entire foundation of the employment industry, and leading the way to connect the sharing economy with the new economy.
Product Description
As earlier stated, Vanywhere is a platform based on people with skills. Within the Vanywhere ecosystem, they’re called Skillers.
Vanywhere chose that name instead of experts or professionals, based on the company’s belief that everyone has a skill. It might be their profession, but it could also be a hobby or an interest. Above all, it’s something that they excel at, are passionate about, and want to share with others.
By creating the concept of the Skiller, instead of relying on experts or professionals alone, Vanywhere has opened up the skill-sharing economy to a larger community of people, giving them the opportunity to monetize their skills.
Building an ecosystem
The Vanywhere team has been working on the platform since 2015. The company has developed both iOS and Android apps, conducted user testing and continued to further develop the product. Vanywhere has raised a $500,000 angel investment, and recently participated in the Crossrider Innovations accelerator. The funds were used to optimize and test the iOS version, as well as to run pilot campaigns, detailed later in this white paper.
The team has conducted extensive product testing to optimize both the platform and the marketing strategy and will be launching in Q2 2018, shortly after the token sale.
The Vanywhere Mobile App
The Vanywhere platform is a skill sharing App that connects people seeking and offering live services and personalized solutions. Users choose to connect through live video, voice or chat. The Vanywhere roadmap provides for the inclusion of project-based work after the launch.
The user experience has been designed and tested to be intuitive and engaging. Users can browse through the feed or use the search bar to find specific categories, individual Skillers or the desired skills. The feed is constantly updated with original content, the editors’ choices, and the hottest Skillers on the platform.
Market Strategy
Vanywhere’s vision is to be a multi-vertical platform, but it is unrealistic to launch with all verticals at once. (A vertical is a market category such as travel or fitness.) Just as companies such as Amazon began with a singular focus — in their case, books — before expanding to become the comprehensive marketplace that they are today, Vanywhere will begin with several verticals and add more over time, to control our strategic growth.
The Vanywhere team has developed a proprietary methodology, based on combined 40+ years in the digital space, which allows each vertical to be thoroughly tested and vetted before launch. Vanywhere understands the value of branding and emphasizes building strong brand awareness supported by original content creation to advance the Vanywhere brand, each vertical.
Smart Contracts
The smart contract handles both payments and the rating system. When a call is initiated, the smart contract collects payment from the user and holds it for 48 hours, at which point it is released the Skiller. The purpose of this 48 hour cooling period is to create a window for disputes to be raised and resolved, should they occur. If the user is satisfied with the service they received, the funds will automatically be released to the Skiller within 48 hours. If the user is dissatisfied, they can register a dispute which the Vanywhere team will investigate. When resolving disputes, Vanywhere will consider the records of each party, and hold the tokens until the dispute is resolved. In the event that a Skiller gets a 5 star rating from a user, the tokens will be released to them immediately, without a cooling period.
The ratings/reputation system is documented on the blockchain, with each rating tied to the blockchain address of both the user and the Skiller. This creates a verifiable reputation system that can’t be tampered with or com-modified.
The Vanywhere Token Sale Details
Utility of the token
The strength of the VANY token is that it has an actual utility within the Vanywhere ecosystem. The QRC20 token is the currency that the Vanywhere ecosystem runs on, and the only way for users to pay for services within the platform. Is it also the currency used to purchase promoted content and native ads. An additional utility of the token is that users who review and approve Skiller applications will be rewarded with tokens.
The total supply of VANY tokens is 800,000,000. It is fractionally divisible, fungible, transferable, and expected to trade on cryptocurrency exchanges. At the time of the token sale, 1 VANY will be valued at $0.05. Cap: $20M
