Futourist is a video-focused, influencer friendly review app, revolving around travel topics. Economy inside Futourist platform creates the bridge between businesses and content creators. The goal of Futourist is to disrupt the online review industry with a concept of distributing revenue fairly across all content creator.
We reveal a partnership with OpenHours platform which will act as a foundation platform for construction of Futourist. OpenHours generates more than 1 million monthly visitors in over 20 countries and runs a well established IT infrastructure behind. With OpenHours, Futourist obtains initial data, users and the enitre technologic foundation (backend, web, app).
All of us are content makers, yet just a modest bunch figured out how to transform their substance into benefit, while the lion’s share of us are forgotten without anything.The irony is big - On one side, there is only a handful of people who have managed to turn their content into profit,
while the majority of content creators are left without anything. On the other side, companies and platforms that
produce insignificant amounts or literally no content but can monetize their user’s free content are the ones that
are worth the most. As we can see, the existing worlds of content creators and businesses who benefit from their
work have never been more out of balance.
Our vision is to change the perception of content creator’s value and bring balance between the creators and the
world of business. From reviewers, influencers, writers, photographers and other content creators, everyone needs
to get rewarded.
CATERING THE CREATORS
Even though Youtube and Twitch do generate revenue for some big influencers, most of the videos you watch on
Youtube don’t bring much or any direct rewards to their creators. And when it comes to online review platforms
like TripAdvisor and Yelp, things don’t even come that far - there is no real space for influencers. Even though
reviews are one the most common things an influencer does.
There is an opportunity to generate quality content by catering the creators. The way to go is to implement influencers into the user experience of an online review platform as well as adding them to the revenue structure of
the platform. Influencers need the tools to create content they like, interact with their followers and make money
for doing it. If all is provided by the platform, the content creators are left with just the things they like to do and
that incentivizes quality content creation on a platform as well as cheap creator-acquisition.
The long tail of content creators must not be forgotten. What most of the influencer-friendly online platforms are doing is cashing out to just a fraction of the creators. We believe rewards should be distributed among all the
creators in a fair way, based on the community’s acceptance of the content created. Even if it’s $5, it’s $5 someone could spend on an after-work drink. Where they could review the drink and maybe get another drink for free.
Futourist is the first review platform that rewards its users for creating and curating content, using blockchain
technology
Futourist is a web and mobile app. On Futourist you can watch and read reviews of nearby restaurants, bars,
hotels and apartments, means of transport, and other things to do like attractions, sightseeing points, parks,
beaches, historic places etc.
The app consist of a review feed that can be filtered and sorted in various ways. The feed consists of videos, photos
and text reviews. By default it shows the latest reviews of the nearest places around you (Around me now feature).
FUTOURIST’S MICRO-ECONOMY
Futourist´s platform will feature multiple financial inputs and outputs where participants that benefit
from the platform input financial means into the platform and the ones who contribute to the platform
withdraw funds from an output.
TOKEN DISTRIBUTION
With possible exponential growth, we are setting apart 18% of tokens to cover future team members, advisors and
experts. This will help us build a solid team with years of experience crucial to Futourist growth.
• 5% of tokens will be reserved for OpenHours platform. Already existing platform that will give us a huge
advantage when kickstarting the project was developed by the OpenHours company, but furthermore,
with 1 mio monthly users, our platform will be ready to launch a lot faster.*
• 25% of tokens will be available for the ICO crowdsale.
• 7% tokens will be available for future partners
We will reserve 45% of tokens for our Community and for future projects.
In our first year of our runway, Futourist will reward users with a large percentage of reserved tokens. These tokens
will be given back to community in form of contest rewards, each with different token amount, time period and
objective.
*Projected token distribution is based on minimal funding, otherwise token distribution in regards to OH will be
distributed accordingly.
TOKENS IN FUTOURIST SYSTEM
The FTR token is an irreplaceable part of the Futourist platform as a method of value exchange inside
the platform. Its ownership grants holders the right to receive the value based on their activity.
When users interact with the content by entering a competition and use the other features on the platform, they
receive tokens. Those cannot only be traded on the exchanges where they become a formulation between buyer
and seller, but can also be used for other purposes in the future. The tokens will therefore be used also as an incentive (by monetization) to create something meaningful for other users and will therefore generate added value to
the ecosystem of the Futourist platform.
As it was already previously stated, FTR token will provide numerous effortless transactions within the platform
and will provide a simple monetization and value interaction between the platform, customers and users.
There will also be other opportunities for using FTR tokens outside the platform.
