SLVR: A Revolution in Financial Technology
INITIAL COIN OFFERING ENDS: September 9, 2017 11:59:59 pm
- 3 Million SLVR available via Ethereum ICO
- ICO price pegged to an oracle that estimates $10 worth of Ether
- 1 SLVR redeemable for 1 ounce of Silver
- Initial Float of 7 Million tokens
- New SLVR minting restricted for 5 years, until reserves are >100% outstanding SLVR
At SLVR we are creating a nexus between the silver commodities market and the blockchain, in order to facilitate the future of decentralized, peer-to-peer finance. We are issuing an ERC20 Token backed by the certified reserves in our operational silver mine located in the Sultepec Mining District in Mexico City. Each SLVR token issued will be backed by, and redeemable for, 1 ounce of silver stored in a secure vault as it is mined and refined.
By selling a tokenized crypto-asset for the pre-mined silver we are able to raise capital to fully optimize the mine, allowing for more efficient extraction, thus enabling us to achieve 100% reserves much more quickly. Additionally, we will be able to build out an infrastructure of web and blockchain services to support the redeem-ability and liquidity of this new blockchain silver market. By inspecting our technical paper, one can see our estimated capitalization over time, which puts us on track to have 100% reserves (7 million ounces of silver) within 6 years using conservative estimates which do not account for optimizations likely to result from raising fund on the front end. Not only does this model allow us to raise funds up front, but it also
allows participants to invest in an immediately liquid, transferable, uncensorable representation of real silver at a steep discount to the spot price. To reflect the pre-mined nature of our silver and to facilitate a more rapid round of fund raising, we are offering 1 SLVR token redeemable for 1 ounce of silver for approximately 10 dollars worth of ether. This price is set by an oracle contract that averages the ETHUSD exchange rate, actual price may vary at the time of purchase. The entire ICO and Token mechanism can be audited via our github.
Our VisionOur vision is to create a liquid, disintermediated, global silver market on the ethereum blockchain. This would liberate the precious metals market from middle-men and allow for low cost trading, transfers, and storage of silver. Our token allows blockchain users to hedge or expose their digital wealth against silver (a store of value for millennia) while maintaining the freedom and autonomy that a blockchain asset provides. We believe our token is the first and only truly global, decentralized and un-censorable silver asset.
We imagine a future that incorporates all of the traditional financial system mechanisms on the blockchain, and SLVR is the beginning of this vision. SLVR allows for silver traders to settle complex financial transaction against the silver market while remaining entirely on the blockchain and thus decentralized. Our technical vision, beyond a silver backed token, is a suite of
Smart Securities which users can deploy individually to implement previously complex financial transaction in a peer-to-peer manner. For example, an open source smart contract that implements the logic for quarterly silver futures contract can be deployed by a SLVR holder and directly agreed upon by another party without an intermediate exchange or clearing houses, this contract can then be arbitrated according to the
"Code is Law." ethos and ultimately settled to SLVR tokens.
Our long-term goal is to provide our token users with the tools for financial liberation and autonomy.Roadmap
