ZSC Token Goes Live In

What is the Zerosum Platform

The ZeroSum Platform is a peer versus peer competitive platform that allows individuals to create and participate in competitions that require a measurable skill in a given subject matter. Users enter with a defined entry fee and if victorious against their peers win prizes immediately. Initially created to isolate trading skill in trading competitions the platform and technology base are extensible in order to support any desired peer versus peer competition event. The ZeroSum Platform is already built and available at www.zerosummarkets.com – ongoing development and support for third party implementations are continuing to bolster the ZSC Token.

ZeroSum is a ground breaking blockchain technology platform that empowers individuals to demonstrate their skills in a competitive format against their peers

What is the ZeroSum Sentiment Engine

The ZSC Token will become the access token for users who wish to access ZeroSum’s proprietary sentiment index. The ZSC Smart Contract will provide aggregated, anonymized real time trade data to our Sentiment Engine which in turn will produce a simplified feed accessible through our custom UI or API.

User Cases

The Young Trader

Zach is a young student of the markets, just getting started in the world of trading. He has heard stories of friends making and losing money in retail trading, either in apps or online platforms. After trying his hand and losing his first $1,000 from an online retail FX shop like FXCM he decides he needs something different. Not willing to give up trading just yet Zach finds the ZeroSum network. He purchases his first ZSC Tokens from ZeroSum onboarding page, which integrates with an established ERC20 token exchange, he is ready to start trading. Zach first enters a free competition and places fifth which is good enough to earn him an additional 50 ZSC. Zach is now engaged, he enters another competition, 3 players trading EUR/USD over 24 hours. Zach comes out ahead and wins additional ZSC. Zach has been planning on buying a camera drone for some time so he visits an ERC20 exchange and trades out some of his winning ZSC Tokens for USD. With his remaining ZSC Zach continues to compete on the ZeroSum Platform.

The Experienced Trader

Jerry has been in the markets for a while it’s been nearly 20 years since his hay-day in the late 1990s early 2000s retail trading boom. After losing a decent amount of money in 2008 the pain of trading has left Jerry more cautious than he used to be. Jerry knows he is a good trader, in fact, he has proven this time and time again with side bets with his buddies from work and the gym. Although a savvy trader Jerry is cautious about where he opens accounts, the fees are killer for him and he knows the eat away at his returns. It’s just hard to beat anything these days, he often finds himself quipping to his friends. After hearing about ZSC Token platforms Jerry decides to purchase ZSC Tokens for his crypto-wallet. After seeing a noticeable increase in value and usage on the ZSC network Jerry goes to a ZSC enabled site and enters a few competitions. The marked difference between traditional trading avenues draws him in. Suddenly he is no longer competing against banks but other living traders! Jerry crushes competitions with his experience and earns himself a great return of ZSC Tokens. Knowing that he will continue to use the platform in the future Jerry buys additional ZSC Tokens from the exchange in order to achieve the Diamond Tier status. Jerry has realized that the retail boom is coming back with this new mechanism that enables skill over hardware and he is ready.

The Third Party Operator

PvP-FX and its sister site PvP-EQ offer peer versus peer FX competitions and Equities competitions as their names suggest. They see opportunities in South America and South Africa, markets that the ZeroSum Operators have not yet reached in their rapid growing expansion. They license the ZeroSum technology and white label solution. After purchasing a large amount of ZSC to hold in reserve on the open exchange PVP-FX and PVP-EQ open their offerings to their prospective regions. They bolster the usage of ZSC over the entire network and demand and daily volume increases 25% over the first three months of operation.

Non Trader Use Cases of ZSC Token

Jack and Yousef are not traders but they have been arguing over who is more skilled at predicting the weekly rainfall in Everett, WA. After searching for a solution in how to definitely answer their argument they have explored possibilities of other prediction market sites to settle their dispute. None of the current sites, Augur, Gnosis, STX allow for a hassle free way of resolving since it requires constant creation, update, resolutions, recreation patterns. Yousef has a daily rainfall data stream and so creates a single competition on a ZSC Token based platform ComPETERS (named after the two brothers Peter who founded the site). On this site Jack and Yousef are able to compete daily and be rewarded in their predictions without having to constantly create a new competition. The winner after three weeks of daily competitions walks away with 1,100 ZSC which he then sells on an ERC20 exchange. Jack and Yousef continue to find new ways to test their skill against one another and become recurrent users of ComPETERS.

Sentiment Subscriber

Ralph and June are institutional traders and are looking for an alpha generating signal to add to their other data feeds. They find the ZSC Sentiment Engine to be highly valuable in alerting them to shifting tends in retail trading sentiment on an instant basis – something that previously was only accessible on a weekly report. They purchase ZSC Tokens from an exchange and subscribe. Ralph uses the provided UI while June opts to build the Sentiment Engine into her trading algorithm via the Engine’s API. Their monthly ZSC fee for access is then part of the distribution to ZSC platform users who contributed the sentiment data.

ZeroSum knows that a safe and successful Token Generation Event is paramount to user confidence. We have retained an expert in the firm who will be conducting the Token Generation Event on our behalf. New Alchemy has completed dozens of successful and high profile Token Events previously.
ZeroSum is the first of many platforms to utilize the ZSC Token. It provides users with daily fantasy styled trading competitions. Peer versus peer competitions allows users to earn prizes based on their skill and removes all the negative externalities typically associated with retail trading.
ZSC is the Token that will power a network of peer versus peer competitive platforms. ZeroSum is one example (and already built) but ZSC has been designed with extensibility in mind. ZSC also is the Token that allows access to our proprietary Sentiment engine.
Anyone can access the ZSC Sentiment Engine by signing up with ZSC Tokens on a monthly basis. Our in house algorithms take all data generated on the ZSC network and consolidate it into a usable alpha signal for trading purposes. Users who contribute to the data (users of ZSC competitive platforms) will receive a pro-rata distribution of the ZSC generated as fees.
ZeroSum is inherently a competitive platform that tests user skills. We are providing an on-demand arena where users can earn prizes through trading. Unlike prediction markets which are often slow and non-engaging Zerosum rewards users with activity. Our platform scales geometrically with each new user and the value of our Sentiment engine increases dramatically as an alpha providing signal.
Absolutely! Unlike other Token Sale events offering vaporware and an idea. The Zerosum platform is already built. Our team consists of Wall Street veterans, a former Uber chief data scientist and a development team with decades of experience. On top of all that we have retained New Alchemy to ensure a successful launch of the ZSC Token Generation event.
