Updated 15.02.21
Introduction
The Collective is a RSA based Fintech company. Within The Collective ecosystem exists several products.
The heart of the ecosystem is a community management company dedicated exclusively to the incubation and management of ICOs/IEOs/ITOs.
Also featured is CDEX, a fully functioning global decentralized marketplace for Ethereum based tokens.
We are aiming to launch a Uniswap-like dex named CDEX. CDEX will be a robust trading platform for trading all different types of digital assets.
With our unique experience and ecosystem, and through strategic partnerships we are positioned to provide the most comprehensive solution on the market for launching a successful ITO.

New User Monitoring
We actively monitor your new users to keep them engaged. A primary reason that people don’t stick with online communities is that they simply lose interest in the site’s discussions and content. Engage these members early on, and you’re more likely to retain them as active and loyal users over the long term. Fail to impress them, and you’ve likely lost them for good. The key is to regularly gauge user interest and activity levels so that you can respond quickly with more engaging content when interest lags.
Measuring Your Community’s Reaction & Response
It’s inevitable that you’ll sometimes have to tweak your approach to blogs and other components to ensure that the community image remains attractive and compelling. To see whether the community is fresh or growing stale, we analyze members’ Mean Time to Respond (MTTR) when they react to discussions, event invitations, polls and other queries.
Introduction to Our CDEX Exchange
Your Decentralized Option
A decentralized exchange represents a marketplace which does not rely on a third-party service to hold the customer’s funds. Instead, trades occur directly between users (peer-to-peer) through a semi-automated process.
This supports a high level of security because of an absence of a central server, and provides anonymity & low fees; independent of country of registration.
Unique Security Advantages
Following a wave of phishing, malware and cyber attacks on prominent exchanges, safety is the first thing on every traders mind and rightly so. Decentralized exchanges inherently include heightened security. Massive security attacks, such as the roughly $470 million that was stolen from Mt. Gox, were only possible because the centralized hot wallets of the exchange were targeted, which presented a single point of failure. In a decentralized exchange, each user is in private control of their own funds, so there is no central point of attack.
Free Listing For The Collective’s Clients
One of the biggest issues faced by new companies in the space is finding a good quality listing. Top exchanges charge exorbitant listing fee and take months to list leaving many projects with no active secondary market. CDEX exchange will provide an avenue for promising companies who pass our due diligence process to be listed at no charge. Our aim is to provide our community access to some of the best companies available.
The CDEX Trading Process
1. A user creates a new order by choosing an ERC-20 token, the amount, the ETH amount in return, and whether it’s a buy or sell order.
2. Our system creates a secure cryptographic hash of that order.
3. Our system utilizes a user’s Ethereum private key to sign the order hash.
4. Our system sends the full verified order off chain to await a trade.
5. When someone wants to trade against the order, the order information is processed through a smart contract.
6. The smart contract verifies the validity of the order’s origin.
7. The smart contract also makes sure the order is not expired or filled.
8. Funds are transferred.
Supported Wallets
Due to the decentralized nature of CDEX exchange, the users don’t need to log on to the website or deposit funds with the exchange. CDEX will support all major wallets including MetaMask, MyEtherWallet, Ledger and MyCrypto. The users can stay in control of their funds without the need to store any private key on CDEX Servers.
CDEX’s Vision: Not Just An Exchange
Our intentions are to bring listing and liquidity back into the hands of the community instead of leaving the decision making up to people with only their own interests in mind.
Run by a group of crypto-enthusiasts, our goal is to give back to the community. We will accomplish this by giving loyalty rewards to our CDEX users for trading on our platform. We will also offer a reduced fee structure for qualified users. A voting system will be in place to allow participants of the platform to help choose the companies we list.
When the community gets treated right, then ultimately they will lift up the companies they support and everyone will have an enjoyable experience.
The CoinRushGo Game
The CoinRushGo is an augmented reality video game that will be the first release from our video game division. The Collective has secured some of the top video game developers in the world to bring The CoinRushGo from a proof of concept to a fully functional immersive experience for gamers.
The Collective Ecosystem’s Revenue Models
Our way of generating income is diverse thanks to the variety and efficiency of our products.
Community Management Revenue Model
The Collective charges clients on a weekly basis in the native token of the client. A small amount of ETH is also billed for day to day operational expenses. A strict due diligence process is implemented to choose only the best of the best clients. By sharing in the majority of the risk with the client by accepting their native tokens as payment, The Collective is highly motivated to succeed.
The CoinRushGo Revenue Model
Digital currency companies will pay for advertising within the game. For instance, if a company wants to bring awareness to its new token, The CoinRushGo will feature the company’s tokens within the game as rewards for playing the game. As a player finds the token within the game, a short description of the token and links to the advertiser’s social media will pop up to drive engagement to the company online resources. In addition, all advertising fees will be paid in CO2 tokens.
The CO2 Utility Token
The CO2 is designed to work within a complex ecosystem. If our clients pay us for our services with CO2 tokens, we will honour them a 50% discount on our charges.
CO2 token utility at The CDEX decentralized exchange
Operating as a utility token, the CO2 token possesses important use cases. Users receive a 50% discount on transaction fees for holding the CO2 token. Additionally, voting powers regarding the ecosystem will be given to people who hold CO2 tokens on the exchange. An API call through a custom bot will ascertain the number of votes a user will receive.
The token may be obtained as a reward based on the level of liquidity contributed.
