  1. PREFACE

i) Introduction to Bgogo Exchange :

As the title represents , this is an exciting and new type of exchange concept in the cryptocurrency space . And we are very excited for this concept and think this can be a winner for sure . Bgogo is Cryptocurrency Exchange of the Community ,by the Community and for the Community . And we will be discussing this in details . The team have came up with concept of super node listing authority . Bgogo is the first digital asset exchange to implement this .

ii)Why Bgogo needs to be there :

We all know how listing process takes place in the big exchanges in the cryptocurrency space right now . How unilateral that process is . These exchange listing is governed in top down approach . We don’t have any Transparency in the listing process . This is a big problem . Bgogo is here to solve these problems . They are bringing the concept of Mining through trading . Let’s see what that really means
a)Mining Through Trading :

Mineable tokens (50% of total supply) will be reserved for users in the form of high-frequency trading fee rebates, commonly known as mining through trading. A number of tokens equivalent to 105% of the trading fee will be rebated to the user in only 30 minutes after the trade. Bgogo reserves the right to adjust the rebate rate as we grow, but we promise to maintain a minimum rebate of 100%. The price of token will be determined by the market price at the time when a trade is finalized.

They are also having token buyback . Their token buyback is as follows :

Every 24 hours, Bgogo will use 100% of the trading commissions accumulated to repurchase BGG. The buyback tokens will be sent to a burn address made public.

4. BGOGO SUPERNODE :

Bgogo has 21 supernode . These are selected from leading cryptocurrency entities .These entities will participate in the BGG token private sale. Playing a key role in the Bgogo ecosystem, each supernode is granted the “One Vote, One Listing” right as well as the benefit of “20% Per-Trade Commission” over a lifetime.

Tenure for supernode is one quarter ie around 90 days . After this period , the re-election of supernode will take place based on the top 21 accounts in BGG holding position. Each supernode has something called ‘ONE VOTE- ONE LISTING ’. Let’s understand what that is .

ONE VOTE- ONE LISTING

Each supernode is entitled to “One Vote, One Listing” authority. This privilege gives status holders the right to pick a cryptocurrency to list on the Bgogo trading platform during its tenure. This is under the premise that the cryptocurrency nominated passes legal qualifications and is approved to be listed by the project team. In the event where multiple supernodes are competing to list the same cryptocurrency, Bgogo will respect the project team’s decision of which supernode they choose to nominate them. Thus, a total of 21 coins from supernodes should be listed during each quarter.

DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES OF SUPERNODES :

  1. Excluding the first generation supernodes, all supernodes starting from the second generation are required to lock up their BGG balance during their tenure.
  2. Supernodes should perform due diligence and guarantee the authenticity, reliability, legitimacy of the cryptocurrencies they choose to list.

5. ROADMAP AND CONCLUSION :

BGG TOKEN PLAN

BGG is the platform token issued by Bgogo exchange to participate in the BGG trading ecosystem.There is a total fixed number of 10,000,000,000 BGG that will ever be created.

BGG Token Distribution

Token Sale

10% of the total supply (1 billion BGG tokens) will be sold for 15,000 ETH to the founding generation of supernodes as well as strategic partners during the private sale. The private sale price is 1 BGG = 0.000015 ETH. Each supernode is granted an allocation of 500 ETH, totaling 10,500 ETH for all 21 supernodes. The rest 4,500 ETH is raised from strategic investors as well as ecosystem partners.

Token Unlock Schedule

50% of the total BGG token supply is reserved for mining through trading over a period of 4 years. There is a daily cap for tokens available for mining. The 20% reserved for ecosystem developments and Bgogo daily operations will be unlocked at the same rate of mining. Team distribution will be vested over 4 years, with 25% at the end of each year.

Bgogo is a new concept in the cryptocurrency exchange space and we are excited to see how this unfolds . We are very much optimistic on what they are doing .
