Worker proposal

Given the growth of the BitShares ecosystem, we, Blockchain Projects BV see the urgent need to revise the existing
white papers and documentation of the whole BitShares platform.

From our recent business developments, we can confirm that regulators are taking a closer look into the whole
crypto ecosystem and they are constantly confused due to unaligned use of terminology of old economy, such
as assets, shareholders, equity, dividends.

Unfortunately, our technical information is also “polluted” with analysis in non-technical areas, such as bitassets
and trading. As can be found in the second spokesperson report, this requires an major rework.

Furthermore, the existing documentation hasn’t been updated and reviewed consistently. The majority of newcomers
to the platform run into similar issues which could be resolved by improved documentation and better integration into
the whole ecosystem (e.g. the reference wallet).

To ensure a proper and accurate representation of the BitShares platform, major rework of existing material is required.
The documentation will not be reviewed by legal council as it has a purely technical aim.

Please note that this worker proposals focuses strongly on the technical aspects of BitShares. Legal aspects need to
be dealt with separately.

It is our strong believe that it is required to separated the technical documentation (such as RPC, blockchain APIs, etc.)
from the functional and legal description (such as the DEX, and bitassets). This will help to distinguish BitShares (as
a platform) from the BTS token (as a cryptocurrency) and the services (such as the exchange) offered through smart
contracts.
