Abstract

PingPaid, formulated to solve the problems that plague the

trustless transfer of assets, is a unique payment solution

that will revolutionize the way we transact, by bringing

practicality and security to “Trade and Value” transactions.

PingPaid is an easy to use, working platform and protocol

that allows parties to secure and transact payment for goods

and services using a secured and advanced modular control

program. We put power and ease in your control as

merchant and consumer. You can define terms, agree to

terms, and use PingPaid’s unique technologies to accept the

terms defined. PingPaid takes “Smart Contracts” to the next

level. We have focused on simplicity and effectiveness; this

is the future of asset transactions using blockchain.

Blockchain is a revolutionary technology that will find itself

in so many different applications in our lives. Blockchain

technology has already begun to make an unmatched

impact on the digital age; no technology holds a greater

potential for humanity. PingPaid is capitalizing on this and

positioning ourselves as the premier choice for conducting

various forms of transactions on the blockchain. Value

transfer is the primary application of the Blockchain.

Even with its growth potential, there is a lot more work to do in this space.

Our Philosophy

We want you to be able to rent your property, to create

customizable and personal contracts and not have to worry

about things going wrong or not receiving your service or

being paid. We have effectively created and executed our

platform and will continue to expand our unique platform

that allows value to be transacted using cryptocurrency

assets. There are many applications for PingPaid, and we

have working services that display the use for the unique

combination of blockchain and decentralized escrow.

We have implemented various strategies and concepts,

including the unique use of QR codes, secure cryptography

in our security systems, escrow agreements, and the

Ethereum Smart Contract platform. We want to introduce

the power of Blockchain to the entire world and bring to you

the best transactional platform and protocol – PingPaid.

Introduction

What happened when banks lost the money you entrusted

them with during the global economic crisis of 2008? A

tumultuous stock market crash, a breached banking system

& a mortgage meltdown all were conducive to a ruinous

recession. People asked for an unbounded system- no central

control. Many wanted solutions to protect themselves against

any future financial crisis that may occur. The collapse of trust

between banks amid soaring inter-bank lending rates was the

epicenter of the crisis a decade ago and financial market

volatility soared to record highs amid fears for the stability of

the banking system at large. The answer came in 2008,

blockchain technology. The core of Bitcoin and blockchain

technology bestows trust through a decentralized protocol

that eradicates intermediaries. Blockchain is a decentralized

public ledger, the technological base for Bitcoin, Ethereum &

all cryptocurrencies alike.

Smart Contracts introduced by the Ethereum network is a

way to perform computer operations in a decentralized

manner. Smart Contracts employ an innovative solution to

many real world applications. Smart contracts use

algorithms to connect parties. As an integral element behind

the dynamic use of the PingPaid token, Smart Contracts

joined with backend algorithms create a payment and

procurement protocol and platform for cryptocurrencies.

PingPaid token is an Ethereum based token. According to

Forbes, ‘investment banks alone could save up to $12 billion

per year by adopting blockchain technology and Smart

Contracts, effectively a program code that automatically

performs certain actions when pre-defined conditions

occur.’

PingPaid BETATM

PingPaid utilizes many unique features on its platform to

get you up and running. PingPaid Beta ™ allows you to rent

to guests and have guests pay by using cryptocurrency,

remit services, sell real world things like food and items, and

more using the power of the PingPaid protocol.

Bill (owner/host) lists his home on the PingPaid platform as a

rental. Bill specifies availability, and he can change these

dates anytime. When listing his rental, Bill can specify which

cryptocurrencies he will accept for booking. Bill will specify

whether he will require release of escrow funds upon first

Tag-and-Query (which would be upon guest’s arrival), or if

he will agree to have the funds released after the guest’s

stay has completed, based off of what other items or

amenities the guest has added to their stay using PingPaid

protocol and platform. This complex process happens

seamlessly using the PingPaid platform and protocol.

Using PingPaid, Bill can offer optional services to compliment

the guests stay, purchased with cryptocurrency. This allows

for seamless exchange of assets, and integrated

verticals for flexibly transacting real assets. PingPaid will

have countless applications, and we plan to offer an

Application Programming Interface (API) for open source

and private development on our platform. We want Smart

Contracts and secure payments to go hand in hand. The core

function of PingPaid allows you to create digital and live

invoices scanned with our unique QR code reader. Once

scanned, the client confirms their secured cryptocurrency

credentials for the releasing of assets. Some other

parameters are involved in this process.

The PingPaid protocol allows the processing of secured

transactions; both the merchant and client must hold

PingPaid tokens on the platform. This provides value for the

PingPaid token holders as it Is a vital module needed to use

the platform. As a merchant or client, you can create secure,

instant live invoices that require specific conditions for an

asset’s release. We have created PingPaid SettleUp ™ to be

decentralized and trustless, using Smart Contracts to

validate conditions of the agreement.

Tag-and-Querying™

PingPaid functions on its core technology, the Tag-and-

Querying™ mechanism. We believe the blockchain

revolution does not have to be complicated, and asset

transfer is the best application for the Blockchain. Using our

mobile and desktop systems, the Tag-and-Querying™

allows merchants, property owners (hosts), consumers and

clients to have instant and secured asset transfers.

We want to put the power of decentralized trust in your

hands. After creating quotes, clients and hosts can scan a

unique QR code that only you as a merchant would be able

to provide on your end. In the case of hosting, you will reveal

this QR code once the guest arrives at the property. This

unique technology connects the host/merchant with the

guest/client.

Itemize everything, from restaurant menu selections to

vehicle sales, with pre-created Smart Contracts tailored to

specific use-cases.

Create unique conditions to release funds by enabling

escrow, and using unique QR Tag and Querying technology

provided by PingPaid.

Track, create, and manage itemized receipts for processing

using PingPaid, tailoring them to specific users or a

generalized consumer base.

Application Program Interface (API) is in development to

allow third parties to use PingPaid to create unique and

powerful smart contracts to revolutionize value exchange

on the Blockchain.

Token Mechanics & Value

PingPaid is a platform, powered by its token of the same

name. The PingPaid token (an ER20 Ethereum-based token)

will be used to pay the fees on the PingPaid platform.

PingPaid will allow asset transfer and security in various

different cryptocurrency assets. The roadmap will elaborate

how PingPaid will progress as a platform and show plans of

the platform and protocol. There are 75 million PingPaid

tokens. 60 million tokens are available in an ICO to invest in

and grow the platform. The ICO begins on July 1 2018.

Token Economics

PingPaid token holders pay NO FEES to use the PingPaid

platform and must use the PingPaid token on the

PingPaid platform in order to get this Benefit.

The PingPaid Clearing Cycle ensures that the PPD ecosystem propels the PingPaid token usage, through the platform and protocol. The PingPaid Clearing Cycle incentivizes the PingPaid token in the token economics, and provides the mechanism to utilize other cryptocurrencies without limiting the use of other assets. This encourages global cryptocurrency usage in the mainstream. The PingPaid token powers the platform, protocol, discount and loyalty programs.

PingPaid Clearing Cycle

The PingPaid clearing cycle is a mechanism used in the

PingPaid token economics. The PingPaid clearing cycle is

what happens when a consumer uses the PingPaid platform

or protocol to complete a transaction. If the consumer uses

PPD tokens to complete the transaction, the clearing cycle is

completed. If a non-PPD token is used, the algorithm

automatically demands and deduces a fee of the

cryptocurrency used to complete the transaction from the

client’s account. The system automatically allocates a

certain percentage of the collected fees towards providing

discounts to accounts holding PPD (merchant or client). The discounts continue progressively as the system collects more and more fees. The discount levels increase respectively. The discounts are applied in all PingPaid PPD account holders after a certain threshold of collected amounts have been reached. We have many plans for the discount program. This can translate to being redeemable assets in the PingPaid token ecosystem. Theoretically, this allows PPD holders to enjoy massive benefits in the PingPaid ecosystem. Both merchants and clients are eligible to participate on the virtue of having a PingPaid account and being PingPaid token holders.
