Two years since invention, Ethereum has already disrupted one industry big time. Venture Capital and traditional equity funding. Now for those naysayers who say tokens are Ethereum's killer app, we will prove them wrong!

Here's yet another disruptive solution

Ladies and Gentlemen - presenting DGCAMP to you!



DGCAMP is potentially one of the biggest real world applications for Blockchain. DGCAMP takes direct aim at investment banks and intermediaries. DGCAMP can raise capital for anyone without the need for investment banks and intermediaries. DGCAMP envisages a smart contract architecture replacing the manual processes involved in investment banking, in the issuance of corporate equity and debt securities — processes characterised by opacity and high fees. (Read our preliminary paper on http://himalayalabs.com/Himalaya-Executive-Summary2.pdf ) "Intermediaries in complex markets thrive on “the theory of opacity” and deliberately propagate the theory to further their own interests. The theory simply states that opacity of a process attracts intermediaries, and the more the opacity of a system or process, the more the intermediary can take away from the buyer or seller surplus. DGCAMP aims to do away with opacity in capital markets." - Arifa Khan, Founder Himalaya Labs — July 2017 Decentralised Global Capital Markets Platform ( DGCAMP ) is a new-age architecture where investors of capital and seekers of capital can interact freely, trustlessly and with minimum friction. The platform can operate with and without intermediaries. DGCAMP — A definition:



DGCAMP is a blockchain and smart-contract driven platform where issuers (public and private firms, governments, non-profit foundations) can access a broad class of primary market investors (both institutional and retail), complete a variety of automated transactions and processes (such as book building, auctions, syndications, dividend distributions) and can issue a broad array of digital assets to investors. Investors of every type, jurisdiction and financial status can use the platform to learn about investment opportunities across the globe, their regulatory aspects, risks and expected returns, to access due diligence reports, and to invest directly without having to go through intermediaries. A secondary market layer with buyers, sellers, arbitrageurs can easily complement this system. The system can first be envisaged as a single-country system and then extended to a multi-country global marketplace.



Capital allocation will be made in a cryptographically secure, quick, efficient, trustless way.



Benefits of DGCAMP:

Disintermediation of Investment Banking by a Digital Asset Issuance Platform:

A Smart Contract Architecture can replace everything an investment bank does in securities issuance — book building, IPO pricing, algorithm-based allotment of digitised assets to various subscribers, accepting payments and issuing digital securities, custody of digitised assets

Cost saving, for example: Taking Away IPO fees of 7–10%

De-risking of issuance process : Eliminating counter-party and settlement risks

Post-issue management of investor base and performance reporting

Digital coupon and dividend distribution

Global Open Access Trust-less Platform for direct interaction between Investors and Capital-seekers

Global efficient capital flows between countries

Potential App Market Place for Asset Management Industry and intermediaries to build on our Core Platform

Reputation scoring of investors and issuers enabled over time

Potential platform for independent service providers to sell Research, Due Diligence, Legal and Regulatory Products

Decentralisation of Access to Capital!

Decentralisation of Innovation!



DGCAMP serves as a substitute to the current manually-intensive, time-bound and costly processes involved in the issuance of real world securities for corporates, governments, and non-profits.

Come Ethereum lovers, let's break the bank!



R_Block



"R_Block (https://rblock.co/) is a decentralized, anonymous hiring network., powered by a blockchain based referencing dApp. They believe in the world of Web3.0 everybody will be rewarded for sharing their time and data. They're tackling worthwhile problems of data abuse, prejudice and centralisation in hiring.

They have a Beta dApp running on the Ethereum testnet that has received some promising feedback from early customers; GOCardless, Qualcomm, Booking.com (http://booking.com/) and Aventus. Talent Manager - GoCardless: "R_Block is a simple easy to use intuitive piece of software that I foresee completely rejuvenating employee & employer referencing using intuitive Blockchain technology."

They've recently published a new Whitepaper (https://github.com/R-Block/_Whitepaper_/blob/master/_Whitepaper_.pdf) and they have a shorter synopsis in a paper they call, the Blackpaper (https://rblock.co/Blackpaper.html)"



Luke Shipley will present R Block at the LBS event.
