Stakeholder Proposals / CryptoDex Delegate Proposal Call for Feedback:
« on: April 18, 2015, 01:00:39 am »
This is a call for feedback not yet a call for votes.

CryptoDex is a delagate and business proposal to make Bitshares the first stop trade platform for trading Blockchain Asset and Tokens Indices

CryptoDex is assembling easy to use feeds to create indices that users can hold long and short positions across marketcap weighted indexes across the entire cryptocoin universe without direct exposure to the management of the underlying assets.  Bitshares provides the ideal mechanism for this to happen.

Professional industry members need tools to hedge their direct exposure to cryptocoin holdings and outside users need to find easy to use vehicles that allow for easy exposure across all available assets.

By voting for cryptodex you enable the realm of blockchain finance to become stronger and Bitshares a premiere role for this to happen.

The proposed symbol for these funds are bitCDX-{IndexSymbol}
    e.g.  bitCDX-MCAP88
    this signifies the Bitshares Cryptodex Marketcap Weighted Top 88 blockchain assets and tokens

Additional index tracking funds include:
     The Strong Privacy Based Index
          DRK, XMR, SDC, BTCD, XDN  etc.
     DApps
          Storj, Florin, Factom, etc

Cryptodex is also looking for a way to provide high value indexes that take high market caps with low liquidity offerings into account as these tend to be the least overhyped assets on the markets that are able to maintain value and considered a solid method for portfolio investors in general as these types of assets have less negative volatility.

The Cryptodex mission is to make blockchain finance safe and sane for users with all types of experience in this new domain.

Overall Goals:
  • Create the safest possible blockchain asset and token indices on the market
  • Help provide users interfaces that anyone can use
  • Create gateways third party assets pegged to the Cryptodex on the Bitshares platform

Cryptodex is committed to providing the safest possible index mechanism available across all viable asset issuance platforms while remaining pegged to the Bitshares platform.

When voted into the delegate pay ranks Cryptodex will immediately use 80% of the funds for feeds and feed frameworks and provide 20% to the Moonstone project to finish their wallet framework.

We understand the role of feeds and delegates is up for re-implementation and are keenly watching these developments to provide the best options for users and delegates and Bitshares as a whole.

Crypto coin and asset Indices:  Tradeable Indices without market and managerial risk

Value Proposition:
    Treating Blockchain as DACs creates a reference point to treat BTA and networks as an industry.
    Blockchain Industry following indexes should be built on industry tools and systems
    Bitshares provides the most advanced distributed exchange and application specific ledger to lead this type of operation.
    Bitshares becomes more relevant inside the blockchain technology ecosystem
    Bitshares provides assets and tools relevant to those who want to safely increase their blockchain finance usage
    An index fund and exchange traded fund are among the tools of modern finance that Bitshares can operate to increase utility among the block chain technologist and believers.
    External exchanges are still needed for market price discovery and liquidity
    Industry tracking investment vehicles could increase awareness among mainstream non-adopters of blockchain technology as a fair risk asset better suited to personal style and risk profile.


External Same or Similar Assets:
    Already on the Market
        Coindex.eu (nxt)   
    Proposed Projects:
        Altcoin25     (nxt)

Bitshares Competitive Advantage:
     Bitshares has "contract for difference"  (CFD) smart contract abilities which is the foundation for bitAssets.
     Using CFD market mechanics long and short positions that track the value of the underlying asset without user risk to managerial fraud or mistakes and market liquidity squeezes.  Users can hold or short and asset that tracks the fair trade value of the underlying assets.
    Bitshares also has very fast block times providing for near trade time exchanges of value that most other blockchains cannot provide.

Potential Competitors:
    Ethereum project provides CFD capabilities and will be open for any user to create CFD contracts at will.


Proposed Asset Lines:

    Marketcap Traditional Index 
        suffix: MTI
        Traditional Marketcap Weighted Indices

    Marketcap Broad Index
       suffix: MBI
        Weight limited market cap based index to provide broader exposure to the over all market
   
    Volume Cap Index
        suffix: VCI       
        High Marketcap Low Trade Volume

    Equal Weighted Index
        suffix: EWI

    Price Weighted Index
        suffix: PWI

    Sector Specific Assets:
        Strong Privacy
        Distributed Apps
       

The above asset line provides most of  the major traditional methods for index composition and allows for varying levels of exposure to the current markets.

To make this easier for delegate participation reference python libraries to pull data from data aggregators and exchanges will be provided.


Updated Regularly to Reflect Current Status of Proposal.
