Verified and machine readable blockchain metadata. If you are blockchain developer you can easily enrich metadata of system you are building.

Trying to solve the problem of cryptocurrencies and cryptoassets metadata, this repository accumulate dependencies, specs, logos, links and other sensitive metadata.

Rationale behind Chaingear you can find in a paper: cyber•Rating: Cryptoproperty Evaluation.

1. Make your system understandable for people. All meaningful information about system you develop should be gathered in one place in order to gain more adaption.
2. Make your system accessible for other developers. It will make significantly easier to deal with your token for any wallet, exchange, bridge and any web app which want to work with your cryptocurrency or cryptoasset.
3. Your system is listed in cyber•Fund's Radar or Rating for free. We are continuously working on attraction of investors to blockchain based projects.

We support 4 types of a systems:

• cryptocurrency
• cryptoasset
• cryptoservice
• cyptoproject

For every type data structure is quite similar, but requirements are differs.

Meta description is a simple text file in toml format.

system = "Bitcoin"
icon = "bitcoin.png"
type = "cryptocurrency"

• Clone chaingear repository
• Run npm install
• Run cg add {system type}

 Now the process is not automated, so:
- Create a folder at `/chaingear/sourses`. Name of the folder should be same as a `system` name
- Copy desired type of a system from `/templates` into a folder you created
- Rename `example.toml` to a `system` name

• Fill out .toml file in accordance with specs.
• Pull request

cyber•Fund's Team in short time will review and merge it.

Any system that follow basic digital property requirements could be added. This is closed list of such requirements:

• We allow listing of cryptocurrencies and cryptoassets that are cryptoproperty compliant.
• We allow listing of publicly traded cryptocurrencies and cryptoassets.
• We allow listing of cryptocurrencies and cryptoassets based on crowdinvesting valuation with fixed cap until cryptocurrency or cryptoasset goes to market.

We are going to publish a paper soon that explain a lot of stuff. But now the following requirements exist:

All systems regardless of the type should have:

• Website
• Community forum / Thread on specialized forum (like Bitcointalk)
• Public communication channel: Blog/Twitter/Reddit/Slack etc.

• Should be established and uniquely identifiable via Genesis ID.
• Should have underlying internal capital - a cryptocurrency responsible for resilience of network consensus.
• Core code responsible for network consensus should be open source, buildable and executable for at least one open source operating system.
• Should have blockchain explorer wich can disclose information about: blocks, addresses, transactions, numbers of nodes/peers/witnesses

• Should be registered using listed cryptocurrency and uniquely identifiable via Genesis ID.
• Registration protocol should be defined by a code (Counterparty, Omni, NXT AE, NXT Monetary System etc.) and/or natural language (protocol specification such as Open Assets protocol, AGS, etc.)
• Purpose of registration should be described by a code (e.g. smart contracts), and/or natural language (e.g. Ricardian contract or signed Shareholders agreement)

No problem. It could be registered using Chaingear library and will be listed in Radar. So when your brainchild will be ready to be publicly traded it will be included in Rating automagicaly. Follow cyber•Fund Radar listing section.

If you are not going to issue a token or create an independent system we could not add your

You can discuss or ask a question at cyber•Talk Thread

Crowdsale consist of 2 steps:

• Before the start. We recommend to add this information at least a month before ETA.
• After the finish. We recommend to add this information in an hour after finish.

We don't accept crowdfunding if certain condition didn't met:

• At least one genesis address exist. We don't accept crowdfunding if investors could not transparently track funds.
• Fund management is at least under 2 of 3 multisig. Fund managers could be anonymous, but some reputation inside community is highly recommended. Otherwise, well written paper or POC code eliminates any questions.
• Funding terms are defined and cryptographically signed by fund managers. To add crowdfunding put this data to toml file of your system.

[crowdsales]
start_date = "2015-03-31T00:00:00" or [ ["blockchain", "Ethereum"], ["block", "3798640"] ]
end_date = "2015-05-15T00:00:00"
genesis_address = ["35gLt5EgB367enjSjyEDahhWWcy6p1MGf6"] # Could be array. See multu currency crowdsale
funding_url = "https://koinify.com/#/project/FACTOM"
funding_terms = "https://blog.factom.org/post/115139137794/the-factoid-software-sale-is-live"
min_investment = 0.01
funding_operator = "Koinify" # Could be `nein`.
crowsale_feed = "https://example.com/feed" # For multi currency or non bitcoin crowdsale

Note that all fields are mandatory.

Then crowdsale is finished two liner report is needed.

tokens_sold = 4379973
tokens_issued = 8759946
btc_raised = 3500

After end of crowdsale your cap will be calculated automatically based on 4 fields: start_date, end_date, min_invesment and genesis_address. Thus your project will become visible in Rating with fixed cap until tokens (1) won't be distributed and (2) at least one public market will be established.

You can provide multiple addresses as array: ["address1", "address2"].

At this point of time we support only Bitcoin addresses for crowdsale calculations. For multi currency crowdsale or non bitcoin crowdsale you will need to provide pre calculated feed.

It is easy! Follow links section.

genesis_id = "hash_of_the_first_block"
system = "System Name"
icon = "system_name"
Should never be changed.

genesis_id

• Hash of the first block generated by System
• ID wich can define asset in the blockchain

system - The unique name of a system. If there exist system with name in respect to communities please invent another name. In case of historical collisions (Bytecoin for instance) priority will have a system with older genesis date. Newer system will be excluded until renamed. Go to a /chaingear/sourses to explore systems names or type in a Search at cyber.fund

dependencies - Specify dependencies on other systems. Names of the systems you can find in /chaingear/sourses

example

icon - The name of image of a system logotype (for example icon = "bitcoin")

Put image file in to a /chaingear/logos folder.

Image requirements:

• file should be .png
• background should be transparent
• file name should be exact of system name ???
• image should be square
• image should have resolution between 256x256 and 1024x1024

This section contains information about technical specification of the system.
