So please be careful and use upvotes in a way that you genuinely believe will benefit the network. # Reputation Points Reputation Points (RP) measure your trustworthiness within the community. Ranging from 100 (highest) to 0 (lowest) ## Losing RP Posting and/or upvoting harmful low quality content will reduce RP. Maintaining a high RP is essential for keeping your role and continued earnings. **If RP drops below 50, earnings will be temporarily suspended until it is restored.** **If RP drops below 35, your account will be subject to an investigation, which may result in a permanent ban.** There are 2 types of violations: **Content** and **Account** level #### Content level | Action | Participants | Reduction | | -------------------------- | ------------- | --------- | | Posting Prohibited Content | Post creator | -5 RP | | | Post upvoters | -1 RP | **Account level** | Action | Participant | Reduction | | -------------------------- | ----------- | --------- | | Posting Prohibited Content | Account | -35 RP | | Action | Participant | Reduction | | --------------- | ----------- | --------- | | Abusing Upvotes | Account | -35 RP | ## Restoration RP is gradually restored twice a month on `1st` and `15th`, provided the user hasn't lost a significant amount of points between each period. # Feed The **Feed** is where all content is displayed. For both readers and contributors, there are different tabs, each serving a specific purpose to help consume, organize and interact with the content effectively. ### **Best** The Best Feed is the go-to place for everyone to consume their daily crypto intel, showcasing the highest-quality content, either upvoted by a Moderator or marked as highly valuable based on its accuracy and contribution. ### Trending The Trending Feed displays top posts with at least `2` upvotes, sorted by a combination of date and upvote count to highlight the most current and popular content. ### New The New Feed displays the latest posts with fewer than 2 upvotes, awaiting more community engagement. It’s the perfect place to discover and upvote fresh content as it’s submitted. ### Unverified/Other The Unverified/Other Feed displays the latest content from new, unverified users as they learn to contribute and work towards unlocking their roles on the platform. Future Analysts are bred and born here. ## Personalization (coming soon) Users can customize their feed to show their preferred type of content, tailoring the experience to their interests and needs. # Weekly Rewards You can earn CURE rewards by contributing to the platform through sharing, writing, and, most importantly, upvoting content. These rewards are calculated on a weekly basis. At the end of each week, all user actions—such as posts and upvotes—are snapshotted. This snapshot captures your activity for the week, and rewards are generated based on your contributions. The activity count resets to 0 every week on Monday 00:00 UTC, ensuring a fresh start for everyone as the new week begins. ## Pending Week Once the weekly snapshot is taken, all earned rewards enter a pending state for the following week. During this pending period, moderators and other users, referred to as "Bounty Hunters," have the opportunity to review the activities and flag any suspicious or inappropriate content. This additional week acts as a safeguard to ensure fairness and transparency across the platform. After this review period, your rewards are finalized and released to you. # Diamonds Collect daily [diamonds](https://cyrator.com/diamonds), maintain your streak, and boost your chances to unlock surprise rewards.

Posts should be made with the intention of contributing to informed and meaningful discussions. Our community guidelines are subject to change as our platform evolves, and we welcome feedback from our analysts on how we can improve our policies and guidelines to better serve the needs of the community. ## Shilling 1. Prohibited behavior: Shilling, which is defined as promoting a cryptocurrency project without disclosing conflicts of interest or posting messages with the sole intention of pumping the token, is strictly prohibited on our platform. 2. Ethical conduct: Analysts are expected to act ethically and disclose any conflicts of interest that might influence their reviews or analysis. This includes ownership of any tokens or holdings in the projects they review. 3. Focus on fundamentals: Our goal is to promote research and analysis based on fundamentals, not just hype or speculation. Analysts are encouraged to provide in-depth, objective, and critical analysis of projects, focusing on their underlying technology, business model, team, and other relevant factors. 4. Penalty for violations: Analysts who engage in shilling or other prohibited behavior will have their accounts blocked, and all their pending points and rewards will be revoked. Additionally, they may be subject to further penalties, including but not limited to fines or legal action, as determined by the platform's management. ## Providing Financial Advice It is important to maintain impartiality and objectivity when reviewing a blockchain project, and giving financial advice such as advising people to "hodl" or buy tokens is not appropriate in a review. ## General Guidelines for Writing Reviews 1. Reviews should be rated based on how the project compares to other projects in the market in the specific category you're reviewing. If the project is similar to others in the market, it gets a 3-star rating. 5 Stars should be reserved for projects that are best in class and 1 stars should be reserved for projects that engage in deceptive practices. 2. The content of the review should focus on the arguments that support your rating. Explain what stands out from the crowd, whether it's good or bad. For example, if a project gets a 5 star review in marketing because of a fantastic intro video and transparent analytics then mention those items. There's no need to mention lots of other items where the project simply meets industry standards. **The goal is to give the reader the most important information es clearly as possible.** 3. General explanations on a project, like how the technology works for example, are not the most important part of a review and should only be included if necessary. If everyone would explain basic infos in their reviews, the reviews would become very repetitive and boring to read. 4. If possible, supply source material with your reviews, like screenshots, links and quotes. 5. You should also keep updating your reviews if you have important new information about a project. Users are encouraged to provide feedback on reviews via the comments and analysts are encouraged to incorporate that feedback in their reviews. 6. To ensure that our reviews are objective and comparable to those of other analysts, we ask that reviewers keep their ratings to each specific category, without letting their rating be influenced by factors outside of that category. For example, if a project has great marketing but poor tokenomics, the reviewer should rate the project 5 stars in marketing and 1 star in tokenomics. By separating reviews into categories, it allows analysts to focus on their areas of expertise and it makes it easier to compare the reviews of different analysts. 7. AI can be used to assist in writing reviews, including translation, and can be used to help better understand a project or the technology a project uses. However, it is not acceptable to use AI to write reviews without any genuine input. Cyrator reviews reflect YOUR opinion, and while AI can be used to help formulate it better, the review should be written by you. We can detect reviews that are purely generated by AI and will remove both the review and the analyst's access to the platform.
### Examples of great reviews: * [On Chain Activity (Optimism)](https://app.cyrator.com/post/63e1ea0501e601312a42dc94) by [El GG](https://cyrator.com/profile/63dc8a7f3ce78468ae025a1d) This review is very short, to the point and gives you exactly what you need to know. * [Buy?

It's also supported with personal opinions and critical viewpoints. * [Progress (Astar)](https://app.cyrator.com/post/63f774c5ef0f1ee00a7b773c) by [Vovj\_P](https://cyrator.com/profile/63e32725a709eea61c6394db) # Whitepaper Abstract Cryptocurrency has the potential to revolutionize the way we fund innovative ideas and drive economic growth, but it's currently hindered by a lack of transparency and public trust. Cyrator is an **open, decentralized and secure knowledge-sharing platform** that provides a clear and accountable overview of the crypto industry. Powered by a sustainable token model that rewards skilled users, Cyrator's mission is to help people identify and support the best crypto projects, avoid bad investments, and rebuild the public's confidence in the industry. # 1 Introduction Spotting the next big crypto project can be a daunting task. With thousands of projects to choose from, it's essential to conduct thorough research into a project's fundamentals, including its technology, team, idea, progress, and other important factors. Great projects solve real problems with innovative technologies and are run by capable and dedicated teams. However, conducting thorough research takes time, making it unlikely that you'll find the best projects on your own. Narrowing down the search by market cap also isn't helpful, as highly ranked coins are already too expensive. Getting recommendations from publications or influencers is another approach, but it can be difficult to trust these centralized entities, as they often promote tokens they plan to sell. Our solution is to create an open, decentralized, and secure knowledge-sharing platform. Imagine a community where thousands of analysts rate projects and share their research, making it easy to spot the best projects among thousands. You wouldn't have to trust a single source, as highly rated projects are reviewed by many analysts. Cyrator is a decentralized crypto research community where analysts get rewarded for sharing their insights. Analysts can rate projects on the most important categories and include a review for each rating. The more a review is upvoted, the more the analyst is rewarded with CURE tokens. Users can browse the highest-rated projects and read through their reviews. They can also follow top analysts, chat with community members, or become analysts themselves. Accessing ratings on the platform is completely free. Cyrator will use a sustainable token model to attract skilled analysts and support its token value with highly monetizable products, including a launchpad, private project reviews, premium listings and more. # 2 Technology Empowering Knowledge Sharing ## 2.1 Research Methodology Cyrator breaks the crypto review process into categories such as idea, team, technology, tokenomics, progress, etc. Analysts can write reviews and provide ratings for each category which are then combined into a comprehensive overview of each project. Analysts can employ their own research methodology within this framework, but they are encouraged to cite their sources via a citation feature. ## 2.2 Sorting & Rating Algorithm Reviews are sorted by the highest upvotes by default. For recency critical categories, like progress for example, outdated reviews receive an age penalty. Analysts will be notified if one of their highly rated reviews is in danger of receiving an age penalty, allowing them to update their review in time. A project's Overall Rating is computed as the weighted sum of individual review ratings, adjusted for the count of likes and upvotes each post receives. Each type (like and upvote) has a predefined weight which scales its impact on the final rating. This ensures that reviews with higher quality (as determined by upvotes) have a proportionally greater influence on a project's overall rating.\ \ **Formula:**
Where: * $$R$$ = Overall rating * $$𝑅𝑛$$ = Rating of the nth post * $$𝑈𝑛$$ = Like count of the nth post * $$𝑆𝑛$$ = Upvote count of the nth post * $$𝑊𝑢$$ = Weight of a like * $$𝑊𝑠$$ = Weight of an upvote * $$𝑛$$ = Total number of reviews ## 2.3 Reward System The network utilizes its native token, CURE, along with a points system, to reward analysts for their valuable contributions. Analysts accrue points through activities such as writing reviews, receiving likes on their reviews or giving out upvotes. At the conclusion of each week, Cyrator distributes a predetermined amount of CURE tokens proportionally among analysts based on their total points earned relative to the sum of all points awarded that week. This method ensures a fair and transparent allocation of rewards, directly correlating an analyst’s earnings to their engagement and the community’s appreciation of their contributions. This approach not only incentivizes quality content creation but also fosters an active and collaborative community of analysts. {% embed url="" %} ## 2.4 Proof of Curation (Staking) Community members can staking CURE to support the analysts of their choice. Stakers receive a share of weekly rewards from a staking pool. Rewards are proportional to an analyst's share of the week's points. This incentivizes stakers to support analysts who write high quality reviews. Rewards decrease linearly with the number of stakers per analyst, incentivizing stakers to discover and support new talent. Analysts also boost their earnings based on the amount staked by their supporters. This encourages analysts to write high-quality reviews and promote their reviews to new audiences. Analysts with a high number of subscribers are required to stake a certain amount of their earnings as collateral." ## 2.5 Dealing with Fast-Changing Information Our platform has several features planned or already implemented to manage fast-changing information on a particular project: 1. Analysts can edit their posts, ensuring that their analysis is up-to-date and relevant. Posts have a transparent edit history, allowing users to view previous versions of the post and track changes. 2. Only the top-rated reviews will carry significant weight in the overall rating, and analysts will be incentivized to regularly update their top-performing posts. 3. Analysts will receive periodic reminders to review their top-performing posts, with the frequency of reminders varying based on the category of the post. If analysts repeatedly fail to update their posts, they will receive an age penalty and their posts will gradually drop off from the top. 4. Progress Reviews allows analysts to update the community on key developments through stacked reviews, displaying the latest on top. The average rating from all a user's submissions is used. 5. Optional Rating Feature allows team members to disable ratings on a review, enabling them to post informative updates without affecting the project's overall rating. ## 2.6 Fraud Prevention While the sharing and comparison of research is important, it's also important to ensure the integrity of the research. Cyrator has several protocols in place to minimize the risk of fraud on the platform. ### 2.6.1 Time Delay Instead of earning tokens immediately, analysts earn points for publishing a review or when people upvote their reviews. Cyrator publishes how many tokens each analyst will earn based on their points at the end of the week. However, the tokens are only transferred 1 week later to give the community time to scrutinize their earnings and report bad actors. ### 2.6.2 Bounty Hunters Any community member can earn rewards by reporting bad behavior. All earnings are transparently listed in the app and our leaderboard makes it easy to find and scrutinize the highest earners. Users can inspect who upvoted a post to make sure they weren’t fake accounts. Bounty hunters can also report plagiarism, shilling, and cyberbullying, among other harmful activities. Initially, the Cyrator team will make the final call on reported behavior, but eventually token holders will vote on the most important decisions. ### 2.6.3 User Verification Cyrator is set to enhance the user verification process to better accommodate the platform’s open nature and ensure the integrity of contributions. Scheduled for implementation in the coming months, these updates are designed to foster widespread participation while maintaining high standards of quality through a structured progression system. * **Open Platform**: Anyone can join Cyrator and immediately begin writing, curating, and moderating content. This inclusive approach encourages widespread participation while maintaining quality through a structured progression system. * **Role Advancement**: Users start with basic capabilities but can unlock advanced roles such as Analyst, Curator, and Moderator by meeting specific, scalable criteria: * **Analysts**: Required to write several posts and receive upvotes from multiple curators. * **Curators**: Must curate content for a specified period and maintain a favorable reputation score. * **Moderators**: Need to have been active as an Analyst or Curator for a designated period, possess a history of successful reports, and be elected by existing moderators. * **Stake and Reputation Requirements**: To ensure accountability, users advancing to higher roles must stake CURE tokens. The open platform uses a Reputation System where users gain or lose reputation points based on their actions. Negative behaviors, such as spamming or biased voting, lead to reputation penalties, which can result in slashing or bans for severe violations. * **Rewards and Incentives**: As users progress and take on more significant roles within the community, they unlock different types of rewards and become eligible for periodic distributions of CURE tokens based on their contributions and engagement levels. # 3 Existing Projects Currently, there are a number of services that provide insights on crypto projects, but they often fall short in terms of trust and the depth of information provided. Many of these services focus on indicators for day trading rather than fundamentals. ## 3.1 Coingecko / CoinMarketCap (CMC) Coingecko and CoinMarketCap are popular sites that rank projects mostly by market capitalization. Users can also sort by trading volume or time-based performance, among other data. However, market capitalization is not always a reliable indicator of project quality. Our analysis of hundreds of projects in the top 500 has shown that there are both strong projects and scams at all levels of the list. ## 3.2 Tokenmetrics Tokenmetrics is a popular subscription service that claims to use AI to deliver trading metrics from over 70 data points. It focuses on technical analysis and charges $299/month for premium accounts. ## 3.3 Lunarcrush Lunarcrush ranks projects by social mentions, but this approach can be unreliable as it can lead to lower quality projects being ranked higher. ## 3.4 Tokenterminal Tokenterminal provides scraped data such as active users, developers, revenue and more, but the data is limited to a few hundred projects. ## 3.5 The Long List of Crypto (LLC) The Long List of Crypto is a list of 1600 crypto projects including a one-line description for each project. Projects are categorized by type and maintained by volunteers. The industry lacks a transparent and decentralized ranking of crypto projects, maintained by a network of human analysts who verify each other's reviews. Such a list would bring much-needed clarity to the industry and make it easier to identify good projects to invest in, use their products, or collaborate with. ## 3.6 ICO Rating Sites There are many ICO ratings sites, almost all of them have corrupt ratings, leading to consumers losing trust and the platforms either closing down or faded away. The following is a list of such sites: # 4 Products ## 4.1 The Cyrator List Our flagship product, the Cyrator List, provides a clear and comprehensive overview of the crypto industry, making it easy for users to discover the best projects. We believe the list will become the go-to resource for finding top-quality projects and in the future, we plan to add sections for content and discussions similar to Twitter. ## 4.2 Decentralized Launchpad The Cyrator Launchpad is a more trustworthy alternative to centralized launchpads as it is evaluated and picked by a decentralized network of analysts. Projects can apply to launch their token on the platform, and our network of analysts will evaluate and vote on the application. Analysts have a week to review accepted projects and another week to verify each other’s reviews. Any unethical reviews are flagged, voted on, and removed, and the creators of such reviews are penalized and may have their access revoked. Analysts are compensated in CURE tokens, which incentivizes them to write honest reviews. Only Cyrator Pro users can access private sales, but all Cyrator users can access public sales. ## **4.3 Private Reviews (Get ReVIEWED)** Projects can engage Cyrator analysts for private, in-depth reviews to enhance visibility and gain actionable feedback. This service includes: * **Structured Review Options**: Choose from micro to in-depth reviews tailored to project needs. * **Visibility and SEO**: Reviews are designed to improve online visibility and search engine rankings. * **Promotional Materials**: Includes a "Cyrator Reviewed" badge, infographics, and potential for AMA sessions, helping projects attract and reassure investors. * **Flexibility**: Reviews can be kept private or made public to showcase credibility. This streamlined service offers projects comprehensive tools to stand out, leveraging Cyrator’s platform for enhanced market presence and investor engagement. ## 4.4 Premium Listings Projects will be able to connect directly with followers on their Cyrator listing by renting the "Claimed Listing" feature. The feature includes an ad banner, announcement board, and a messaging feature. Projects will not be able to affect their reviews. ## 4.5 Ratings API Third parties can purchase API access to use our ratings data on other platforms. ## 4.6 Ads Cyrator will run ads on the homepage and various other locations in the app. The amount of ads will be limited to ensure a pleasant user experience. Token holders can vote blacklist certain ads or advertisers.
# 5 Tokenomics To create one of the best tokenomics in the market, we’ve developed the CURE token in collaboration with our community of over 50 crypto experts, which have collectively reviewed over 700 projects. **Utility**: The token rewards contributions to the platform, protects against shilling and other harmful behavior, and can be used for purchasing services. **Deflationary Pressure & Demand**: Potent mechanisms including halving, vesting, burning, staking and lock ups reduce circulation over time. **Value Capture**: 100% of network revenues are tied into the token economy. **In-house OTC**: Powerful program to reduce sell pressure from vested tokens prior to and after TGE. **Token Shield**: In house market maker to stabilize prices and establish a floor price for analysts.

Vesting

Allocation

Release schedule

## 5.1 Distribution Inspired by Bitcoin, we release 100 tokens per minute which are split 75% to reward contributors and 25% to pay for operations. These rewards reduce by 10 tokens every year, making it more difficult to earn them over time. As the network grows, analysts will have additional incentives to write reviews, including revenue sharing and growing an audience. The maximum supply will be 500M over 10 years, which includes vested tokens from fundraising, marketing and reserves. The team vests over 4 years with a one year cliff. ## 5.2 Deflationary Pressure Potent mechanisms are in place to reduce the circulating supply over time and to protect the network from bad actors
**Buy Back & Burn** \ 20% of revenues will be used to buy back tokens from the market and burn them. This increases buy pressure and reduces the overall supply. **Revenue Offset Burn** \ For every $1 of earned revenue, we will burn 1 token each from the marketing and reserve pools. The faster we grow, the less these tokens are needed, allowing us to burn them for the benefit of all token holders. **Analyst & Curator Staking** \ Analysts are required to stake tokens to write reviews and earn a revenue share. The larger their following, the higher their required stake and lock up period. Analysts who engage in shilling will be slashed and expelled. Curators, arbitrators and other actors are also required to stake to participate in revenues sharing.
 **Advertiser Staking**\ Advertisers will secure discounts depending on the amount and duration of tokens they lock up. Top ad-spaces are only available to advertisers with large lock ups. Advertisers who engage in harmful activities will have their tokens slashed, even if their ad has already expired. Private review and claimed listings customers can also lock up tokens to secure discounts. **Private Review Access** \ Users can discover early stage gems which are not available to the public yet In the Private Review section. The higher the amount and duration of locked up tokens, the earlier their access. **Decentralized Launchpad Access** \ Users can secure allocations from our decentralized launchpad depending on the amount and duration of tokens they have locked up. ## 5.3 Value Capture One of the big problems in crypto is that companies can often take off, but their token gets left in the dirt. This happens when the token is disconnected from revenues. To avoid this, we are tying 100% of our revenues into the token economy

Businss Model

## 5.4 Buy Back (In-house OTC) The Buy-Back Program is a powerful mechanism to reduce sell pressure on TGE and during the vesting period. It allows exchanging vested tokens for USDT at a dynamic rate prior to and after TGE. **Mechanism** 50% of pre TGE revenues will be used to deposit in the program's vault every week. If the total USDT amount is depleted within a week, we will maintain the existing exchange rate. If less than 50% of the USDT is withdrawn in a week, we will increase the exchange rate for the following week. This mechanism means that anyone intending to sell their tokens on TGE will already have done so. Therefore, only token holders with long term visions will remain during at launch. ## 5.5 Token Shield The token shield is a dedicated section of the treasury with the ability to buy back or sell CURE tokens to stabilize the price. The token shield will grow from 10% of operating revenues and 3% tax on CURE transactions. ## Summary CURE enables us to operate a fully decentralized network where each participant is rewarded for their contributions while being forced to behave for fear of being slashed. There are strong drivers for demand that remove tokens from circulation through staking and lock ups and all revenues are used to support the network. Together, these mechanisms create a sustainable token model that will massively benefit its holders in the long run.
# 6 Market Strategy The Cyrator List serves as the main funnel for our platform, drawing in organic traffic and generating demand for our monetized products. To develop traffic to the list, our multi-stage growth plan targets analysts first and is supported by a strong referral program.
## 6.1 Referral Program Users can earn passive income by referring friends to the platform. Referrals earn 10% of an analyst's earnings or a pro user's monthly fees. Analysts also receive a 10% bonus on their earnings when they sign up through a referral link, while pro users get a 10% discount on their monthly fees. This means that users are both earning a reward and giving a gift when they send a referral link. ## 6.2 Analysts We've already had great success signing up analysts at live events and through our referral program. Therefore, our primary activity in the initial growth phase will be to present at live crypto events and online AMAs, while also promoting the referral program to our analysts. We are well on our way to reaching our goal of signing up 100 analysts by the end of Q2 2023. ## 6.2 Influencers While we are growing our analyst base, we will work directly with influencers to sign up more analysts and reach out to early adopters. Influencers will be incentivized through our lifetime referral bonuses and we've also set aside a 50M CURE marketing budget for additional influencer incentives. ## 6.3 Early Adopters & General Crypto Holders The growth of early adopters and general crypto holders is supported by the referral program and a strong positive network effect, which leads to continuously improving insights on the platform. We expect that this virtuous cycle supported by various additional marketing activities, will lead to exponential growth over the coming years. ## 6.4 Additional Marketing Activities ### 6.4.1 Video Cyrator will launch several social media channels where we post weekly summaries of top-ranked projects and other relevant content. Our team has extensive experience in social media, having founded channels with a combined 8 million followers on YouTube and Facebook and 2 Bn organic views in 12 languages. ### 6.4.2 Social Media Cyrator will be posting daily about the most valuable content on the platform, including top reviews, comments and projects. ### 6.4.3 Engaging with Projects and Communities Our team will contact projects that have received high ratings and encourage them to share it with their community.

One of the first contests will be hosted in collaboration with Wow Summit Hong Kong. ### 6.4.5 Paid Ads While most of our marketing activities will be organic, we may use paid ads, particularly on Facebook, to support our viral activities and to A/B test our marketing messages. # 7 Roadmap ## 7.1 Phase I (Dec 22 - June 23) We're currently focused on developing the core functionality of the Cyrator List and reviewing the first 1,000 projects. * Tech development: * Rating, review and sorting mechanisms (completed) * Referral program (completed) * Rewards program (completed) * Points to CURE conversion (completed) * Analyst leaderboard (completed) * Wikipedia style democratic editing for general project infos * Onboard 50 analysts * Review 1,000 projects * Signup 1,000 registered users ## 7.2 Future Roadmap ### 7.2.1 Phase II - Scaling (June - Dec 23) Drive viral growth through our referral program and develop our first monetized products, including the private reviews and ads.

The Early Token Platform is planned to launch in 2024. # 8 Token Creation & Release Details CURE tokens will be minted on BNB Smart Chain, but there are plans to run on multiple chains in the future.
