Long-awaited announcement on PRP/PPR conversion ratioAs many of our early token buyers have asked about the conversion of their PPR tokens, it is now time to announce our action plan on the adjustment of the PRP/PPR conversion ratio and our upcoming second token generation event (TGE).
First of all, our team is working hard right now to polish the Papyrus MVP and will release it in a few weeks on Ethereum testnet. The MVP will consist of a simplified ad network based on Papyrus technologies, where advertisers can run simple ad campaigns for tokens and publishers can set up ad placements and earn tokens, while Papyrus provides end-to-end transparency and manage payments through smart contracts.
The MVP will utilize Papyrus’ channel layer for data scalability, and everyone will be able to see our technology in action. We will start publishing updates on that process. After releasing its MVP, Papyrus is going to launch the private part of the second TGE.
We are also working on a Papyrus technical white paper that should be ready in a few weeks and will describe our technologies in more detail as well as provide an updated development roadmap.
We believe that our community is of greatest importance for the success of our project, and we want to make our PRP token holders and early supporters happy. That is why we are glad to announce an update to our policy regarding the PRP:PPR conversion ratio.
It was defined in our terms and conditions that the conversion of PRP to PPR would be based on an exchange ratio of 1:24. But since the end of our first TGE, there have been extreme fluctuations in exchange rates and, in general, the ETH and BTC rates have increased significantly. With that in mind, the Papyrus team decided to adjust the PRP:PPR conversion rate to account for the growth of the BTC and ETH rate.
To calculate the new effective exchange rate, we are going to take the closing rate of BTC and ETH (according to the open data from Cryptocompare.com) at the end of TGE Round 1 (November 2, 2017) and the closing rate at the beginning of the private part of TGE Round 2 (the exact date will be confirmed).
The effective exchange rate for PRP:PPR will be calculated by multiplying the ratio 1:24 by the growth of the ETH and BTC prices between the end of TGE Round 1 and the start of the private part of TGE Round 2 weighted in proportion to the volume of tokens purchased in BTC or ETH. The formula will be:
where
A = 75,7531531% (percentage of tokens sold for ETH);
B = 24.2468469% (percentage of tokens sold for BTC);
X1 — (closed ratio ETH / USD 2/11/2017);
Y1 — (closed ratio BTC / USD 2/11/2017);
X2 — (closed ratio ETH / USD on the date of Private part TGE 2 launch);
Y2 — (closed ratio BTC / USD on the date of Private part TGE 2 launch).
So, if BTC and ETH prices are higher than their closing prices on November 2, 2017 — the conversion ratio will be higher, and PRP buyers will be compensated for that growth. According to the formula, the exact exchange rate will not be lower than 1:24 even if BTC and ETH prices go down.
The Papyrus team believes that this is fair to all contributors. We put our contributors’ interest first as we consider them the most valuable source of inspiration and support.
We are glad to have you with us. Stay tuned for updates — there will be even greater news soon!
