MANIFESTO DECENTURION1
2/192
PREAMBULA HUMANITY IS CONSTANTLY STRIVING FOR IMPROVEMENT AND IS ENGAGED IN THE ENDLESS PURSUIT OF EFFICIENCY AND HARMONY. PROGRESS IS THE DRIVING FORCE OF HUMAN EVOLUTION, BUT THE RESOURCES REQUIRED TO SEEK, IMPLEMENT, DEVELOP AND MASTER THESE NEW SOLUTIONS ARE COLOSSAL. THERE ARE THOSE, THE INNOVATORS, WHO DARE TO FOLLOW THE PATH OF PROGRESS, BECOMING THE FOUNDERS OF HISTORY. THEN THERE ARE THOSE, THE INHIBITORS, WHO ATTEMPT TO HINDER PROGRESSION BY CREATING OBSTACLES AND REGULATIONS. HOWEVER, ONCE THE WHEELS OF PROGRESS HAVE BEGUN TO TURN, THE INHIBITORS CANNOT STOP THE FORWARD THRUST OF INNOVATION. IT IS INEVITABLE THAT THEIR ATTEMPTS TO STOP PROGRESSION WILL BE ULTIMATELY CAST ASIDE, BECOMING A THING OF THE PAST. LOOKING AT OUR HISTORY, WE CAN SEE THE POWER INNOVATION HAS HAD ON SOCIETY. FROM THE INVENTION OF THE WHEEL, TO HARNESSING ELECTRICITY AND THE EVENTUAL EMERGENCE OF THE INTERNET, THESE WORLD-CHANGING TECHNOLOGIES ALL BEGAN AS A DREAM, FORGED BY OUR WILL TO ADVANCE. NOW THERE IS A NEW FORCE EMERGING, ONE CAPABLE OF BECOMING THE LATEST WORLD-CHANGING TECHNOLOGY; BLOCKCHAIN. STARTING AS DECENTRALIZED REPLICATIONS OF BITCOIN TRANSACTIONS, THE USES FOR THE DISTRIBUTED DATA STORAGE TECHNOLOGY KNOWN AS BLOCKCHAIN IS RAPIDLY ASCENDING ABOVE THE THRESHOLD OF CRYPTOCURRENCIES. 3/193
BLOCKCHAIN IS PROVING TO BE USEFUL IN SOLVING OTHER INFORMATION-RELATED ISSUES: IN PARTICULAR, SOME COUNTRIES HAVE ALREADY TRANSFERRED SOME SERVICES RELATED TO ECONOMICS, GOVERNANCE AND LAW TO BLOCKCHAIN TECHNOLOGY, THEREBY INCREASING EFFICIENCY AND ACCOUNTABILITY. AS BLOCKCHAIN S USEFULNESS BECOMES MORE APPARENT, THERE S NO DOUBT MORE AND MORE WORLD-WIDE APPLICATIONS OF THIS METHOD WILL FOLLOW. SOME REGULATORS ARE THE INHIBITORS OF HUMAN ADVANCEMENT, INDIVIDUALS WHO STOP THE WHEELS OF HISTORY FOR THEIR OWN PERSONAL GAIN, AND ARE THREATENED BY BLOCKCHAIN S ABILITY TO STORE INFORMATION IN A TRANSPARENT, UNCHANGEABLE MANNER. THEY ARE THE PROBLEM, AND BLOCKCHAIN IS THE SOLUTION. 4/194
DECENTURION - THE FIRST BLOCKCHAIN- BASED STATE THE WORLD IS AN OPEN-SOURCE PLATFORM AND HUMANITY SHOULD BE EMPOWERED TO MAKE CHANGES TO THE SYSTEM TO BENEFIT THEIR LIVELIHOOD. DECENTURION HAS ABSORBED ALL THE BEST FROM DECENTRALIZED TECHNOLOGY TO BECOME THE FIRST DECENTRALIZED STATE IN WHICH ECONOMY, GOVERNANCE AND COMMUNICATIONS ARE BUILT ON A BLOCKCHAIN. RIGHT NOW, DECENTURION IS AN ECONOMY SUPPORTED BY THE BASIC TOOLS OF DIRECT DEMOCRACY. IN THE LONG RUN, DECENTURION WILL LEAD TO A NEW TYPE OF SOCIAL, JURIDICAL AND ECONOMIC INTERACTION BETWEEN PEOPLE. IT WILL BE THE WORLD S FIRST TRULY AND FULLY DEMOCRATIC SYSTEM. THE DECENTRALIZED PRINCIPLE OF DECENTURION ASSUMES NO PRESIDENT, CHAIRMAN OR CENTRAL GOVERNING BODY OVERSEEING THE SYSTEM. INSTEAD, EVERYONE PLAYS AN EQUAL ROLE IN THE GOVERNMENT. LIKE ANY TRADITIONAL STATE, DECENTURION 5/195
OWES ITS EXISTENCE TO ITS CITIZENS ACTIVITIES. HOWEVER, DECENTURION IS UNIQUE IN THAT RESIDENTS POSSESS SUCH HIGH VALUE THAT THEY DO NOT PAY ANY TAXES TO THE STATE. ON THE CONTRARY, DECENTURION TRANSFERS ALL OF THE ASSETS TO ITS CITIZENS FOR FREE IN THE FORM OF TOKENS FROM STARTUPS ADMITTED INTO DECENTURION. 6/196
TOKENS AND EMISSION THE LAUNCH OF DECENTURION BEGAN WITH A TOKEN RELEASE. DECENTURION ISSUED A TOTAL OF 30,000,000 TOKENS IN THREE STAGES: 1. 10.000.000 TOKENS ISSUED TO DECENTURION TEAM; 2. 10.000.000 TOKENS RECEIVED BY INDUSTRY INFLUENCERS: TOP100 BLOCKCHAIN CELEBRITY ; 3. 10.000.000 TOKENS DISTRIBUTED AMONG ALL INTERESTED, IN DIRECT PROPORTION TO THE VOLUME OF THE ETH KEPT IN THEIR CRYPTO-WALLETS DURING THE FUNDRAISING PERIOD (THE UPPER LIMIT IS 10,000 TOKENS). TOKENS ARE DECENTURION CURRENCY AND CAN ALSO SERVE AS PO- TENTIAL CITIZEN PASSPORTS. DISTRIBUTION OF DECENTURION TOKENS DURING THE FUNDRAISING PERIOD IS FREE OF CHARGE. TOTAL EMISSION IS LIMITED TO 30,000,000 TOKENS (THE UPPER LIMIT ON THE END NUMBER OF CITIZENS OF DECENTURION). WE DO NOT SEEK TO CREATE THE MOST NUMEROUS DECENTRALIZED STATE. INSTEAD, THE MAIN PRIORITIES ARE THE QUALITATIVE INDICATORS OF CITIZENS - THEIR VALUES, COMPETENCES, DRIVE FOR INNOVATION, ETC. - AND THE MAXIMUM INCOME PER PERSON. 7/197
MANIFESTO DECENTURION DECENTURION CITIZENS A PERSON AND HIS/HER ACTIVITY IS AT THE HEART OF DECENTURION, AND EVERY CITIZEN IS AN OFFICIAL STATE REPRESENTATIVE. DECENTURION IS SIMPLY A BLOCKCHAIN-BASED ECOSYSTEM OF PEOPLE S INTERACTIONS, AND IT IS THEIR ACTIVITIES - BOTH AS INDIVIDUALS AND IN GROUPS - THAT DRIVES THE ENERGY FOR THIS SYSTEM. THEREFORE, CITIZENS ARE THE ONLY BENEFICIARIES OF DECENTURION. 8/198
ECONOMIC MODEL THE ECONOMY OF DECENTURION IS BASED ON TWO PARTICIPATION TYPES: CITIZEN AS A PHYSICAL RESIDENT; STARTUP AS A LEGAL RESIDENT. STARTUPS JOIN DECENTUIRION IN ORDER TO DISTRIBUTE THEIR OWN TOKENS AMONG DECENTURION RESIDENTS, THUS ACHIEVING BUSINESS INDICATORS MANY TIMES GREATER THAN THOSE THAT COULD BE ACHIEVED THROUGH A CLASSICAL ICO. BY TRANSFERRING THEIR TOKENS TO DECENTURION, THE STARTUP RECEIVES NOT JUST USERS, BUT RESELLERS AND EVANGELISTS WHO ARE INTERESTED IN USING STARTUP TOKENS TO ENSURE THEIR OWN ENRICHMENT AND PROSPERITY. 9/199
RECEIVING DECENTURION CITIZENSHIP RELATIONS BETWEEN DECENTURION AND ITS CITIZENS ARE REGULATED THROUGH SMART CONTRACTS. IN ORDER TO BECOME A DECENTURION CITIZEN, A USER HAS TO ACTIVATE HIS/HER PASSPORT (ID). TO DO SO, THE USER MUST PERMANENTLY FREEZE ONE DECENTURION TOKEN IN THEIR ACCOUNT. THUS, THE NUMBER OF TOKENS IN CIRCULATION IS CONSTANTLY BEING REDUCED. 10/19
AFTER PASSPORT ACTIVATION, THE NEW DECENTURION CITIZEN RECEIVES A PAPER COPY OF IT, THEIR PERSONAL LANDING PAGE IN THE DECENTURION SYSTEM AND A MANUAL FOR ENGAGING IN ECONOMIC ACTIVITIES IN THE EXTERNAL MARKET. NEW CANDIDATES CAN RECEIVE DECENTURION TOKENS FROM CURRENT ACTIVE CITIZENS. THE PROCESS FOR RECEIVING DECENTURION CITIZENSHIP IS THE FOLLOWING: DOWNLOAD THE MOBILE APP AND AUTOMATICALLY RECEIVE A WALLET TIED TO THE ACCOUNT; MOVE DECENTURION TOKENS TO THE ADDRESS OF YOUR WALLET IN THE SYSTEM; ACTIVATE PASSPORT, LANDING PAGE AND SMART CONTRACT. 11/19
BASIC RIGHTS UPON PASSPORT ACTIVATION, ONE DECENTURION TOKEN IS FROZEN IN A CITIZEN S ACCOUNT. CITIZENS CAN OWN ANY AMOUNT OF UNACTIVATED DECENTURION TOKENS WITHIN THE NUMBER ISSUED. POSSESSION OF DECENTURION TOKENS GIVES EACH CITIZEN AN OWNERSHIP RIGHT DIRECTLY PROPORTIONAL TO THE AMOUNT OF TOKENS THEY OWN. EVERY CITIZEN OF DECENTURION HAS THE FOLLOWING RIGHTS: THE RIGHT TO RECEIVE STARTUP TOKENS FOR FREE - IN PROPORTION TO THE AMOUNT OF DECENTURION TOKENS OWNED BY THE CITIZEN; THE RIGHT TO DISTRIBUTE STARTUP TOKENS; THE RIGHT TO DISTRIBUTE DECENTURION TOKENS AND ONBOARD NEW CITIZENS. THUS, DECENTURION TRANSFERS TO ITS CITIZENS FULL OWNERSHIP OF GOVERNANCE AND PROMOTION OF THE STATE: MONEY - ALL THE INCOME IN THE FORM OF STARTUP TOKENS ADMITTED TO THE DOMESTIC MARKET; POWER - ALL THE POWER THROUGH THEIR RIGHT TO ADMIT NEW RESIDENTS AND PROJECTS; GLORY - ALL THE INFORMATIONAL AND PROMOTIONAL SUPPORT OF DECENTURION. 12/19 12
STARTUP TOKEN IMPLEMENTATION WHEN STARTUPS ENTER THE DOMESTIC MARKET OF DECENTURION, THEIR TOKENS ARE DISTRIBUTED TO ALL CITIZENS FREE OF CHARGE IN PROPORTION TO THE NUMBER OF DECENTURION TOKENS IN THE CITIZEN S POSSESSION. EACH CITIZEN CAN EITHER DECLINE PENDING STARTUP TOKENS, OR ACCEPT THEM AND PLACE THEM ON THEIR LANDING PAGE FOR SALE. TOKENS ARE PUT UP FOR SALE AT RECOMMENDED PRICES, BUT CITIZENS HAVE THE ULTIMATE RIGHT TO NAME THEIR PRICE. THE LIQUID CRYPTOCURRENCY GAINED FROM THE SALE OF STARTUP TOKENS BECOMES THE CITIZEN S PROFIT. THESE PROFITS ARE NOT TAXED BY DECENTURION. 13/19
DECENTURION TOKEN IMPLEMENTATION IN PARALLEL WITH A STARTUP TOKEN SALE, CITIZENS CAN SELL DECENTURION TOKENS AS WELL. SMART CONTRACTS ENABLE THE FOLLOWING ECONOMIC MODEL: A CITIZEN OPENS A LOT FOR THE SALE OF DECENTURION TOKENS IN HIS/HER POSSESSION AT A QUANTITY AND PRICE HE/SHE DETERMINES; BY DOING SO, HE/SHE OPENS A LOT FOR THE PURCHASE OF DECENTURION TOKENS IN THE QUANTITY AND AT THE PRICE HE/SHE ALSO DETERMINES ON HIS/HER OWN. AS SOON AS THE SALE OF HIS/HER PERSONAL DECENTURION TOKENS INCLUDED TO THE LOT IS OVER, THE SYSTEM AUTOMATICALLY CLOSES A PURCHASING DEAL UNDER TERMS AND CONDITIONS SPECIFIED BY THE CITIZEN. THIS IS POWERED BY A SMART CONTRACT THAT ONLY WORKS FOR CITIZENS OF DECENTURION. NON-CITIZENS STILL HAVE ACCESS TO THE MARKET, BUT CAN ONLY BUY DECENTURION TOKENS MANUALLY. 14/19
DEGREES OF PARTICIPATION AT THE BASE LEVEL, DECENTURION RESIDENTS BECOME USERS, RESELLERS OR EVANGELISTS OF STARTUP TOKENS. IN THE FUTURE, THEY WILL BE ABLE TO CHOOSE OTHER DEGREES OF PARTICIPATION, SUCH AS: ADVISER - A CITIZEN ASSUMES THE OBLIGATIONS PROPOSED BY THE STARTUP FOR ADVISERS, AGREES TO BE PLACED IN THE ADVISORY SECTION OF THE STARTUP, AND ALLOWS THE STARTUP TO BE PLACED IN MY PROJECTS SECTION ON THE CITIZEN S LANDING PAGE. IN EXCHANGE, THE ADVISER CITIZEN RECEIVES STARTUP TOKENS IN DIRECT PROPORTION TO HIS DECENTURION TOKENS AND IN COMPARISON TO OTHER ADVISERS IN THE GROUP. REVIEWER - THE 100 LARGEST TOKEN HOLDERS OF DECENTURION RECEIVE EXCLUSIVE DEALS AND INCENTIVES FOR THEIR INTERACTION WITH STARTUPS. 15/19
STARTUPS - LEGAL RESIDENTS STARTUPS ARE THE SECOND PART OF DECENTURION S DRIVING FORCE. IN TRADITIONAL ECONOMIES, STARTUPS ARE COMPLETELY DEPENDENT ON VENTURE FUNDS AND INDIVIDUAL ANGEL INVESTORS, WHICH OFTEN LEADS TO PREMATURE BUSINESS DEATH DUE TO AN INABILITY TO ACQUIRE ADEQUATE FUNDING. BLOCKCHAIN HAS OPENED REAL-TIME CROWDFUNDING OPPORTUNITIES. THE RESIDENTS OF DECENTURION ARE ABLE TO THE FINANCE PROJECTS THAT ARE MOST ATTRACTIVE TO THEM. DECENTURION STARTUPS NEED TO ONLY RESPOND TO PEOPLE S REAL NEEDS AND DEMANDS, AND CONVEY THEIR IDEAS TO CITIZENS IN A CONCISE MANNER. 16/19
OPPORTUNITIES FOR STARTUPS DECENTURION S TOKEN DISTRIBUTION MODEL PROVIDES INCENTIVES FOR THE MOST SUCCESSFUL, OUTSTANDING, COMPETENT, EDUCATED AND RICHEST PEOPLE TO BECOME ITS CITIZENS. THIS IS WHY DECENTURION REPRESENTS THE MOST EFFICIENT MARKET FOR THE CONSUMPTION OF GOODS AND SERVICES. A STARTUP ACCEPTED INTO THE DOMESTIC MARKET ACQUIRES: MILLIONS OF USERS. HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF RESELLERS. TENS OF THOUSANDS OF PROMOTERS. THOUSANDS OF ADVISERS. HUNDREDS OF EMPLOYEES. THE COST OF A MARKETING CAMPAIGN PROVIDING SIMILAR RESULTS OUTSIDE OF DECENTURION COULD COST TENS OF MILLIONS OF DOLLARS. HOWEVER, IN THE DECENTURION ECONOMY, STARTUPS GET THIS SAME EXPOSURE SIMPLY BY DISTRIBUTING THEIR TOKENS AMONG THE CITIZENS. IN ORDER TO BRING A STARTUP TO DECENTURION S DOMESTIC MARKET, TEAM MEMBERS HAVE TO: REGISTER IN THE SYSTEM THROUGH THE WEBSITE OR APPLICATION; 17/19
ADD A PROJECT DESCRIPTION IN THE INTERNAL CABINET OF THE SYSTEM AND ATTACH THE NECESSARY DOCUMENTS; SPECIFY THE PARAMETERS OF TOKEN DISTRIBUTION: TEAM, USERS, PARTICIPANTS (REVIEWERS, PROMOTERS, ADVISORS); TRANSLATE TOKENS FOR DISTRIBUTION TO A SINGLE ACCOUNT OF THE SYSTEM. AFTER THAT, EVERY DECENTURION CITIZEN WILL RECEIVE STARTUP TOKENS (IN PROPORTION TO THE AMOUNT OF DECENTURION TOKENS IN THEIR POSSESSION) AND WILL BE ABLE TO TAKE THEM TO THEIR LANDING PAGES FOR SALE. 18/19
PERSPECTIVES AT FIRST, DECENTURION DISTRIBUTED ITS OWN TOKENS BETWEEN CITIZENS, THUS DEFINING THE RIGHT TO ASSETS (GETTING STARTUP TOKENS), POWER (MAKING DECISIONS ABOUT STARTUP TOKENS AND DECENTURION TOKENS) AND GLORY (DECENTURION PROMOTIONAL SUPPORT). IN THE NEAR FUTURE, WE PLAN TO EXPAND INTERACTIONS BETWEEN CITIZENS AND STARTUPS: INTRODUCE NEW ROLES OF REVIEWER, ADVISER, VALIDATOR, EMPLOYEE; AND CREATE A TOOLKIT FOR TEAMWORK. GLOBALLY, WE WANT TO IMPLEMENT THE FULLY-FLEDGED INSTRUMENTS OF DIRECT DEMOCRACY, WHICH WILL ENABLE DECENTURION CITIZENS TO FULLY REGULATE THE POLITICAL, ECONOMIC AND SOCIAL LIFE OF THE SYSTEM ONLINE AND BEYOND. 19/19
