Solution:CovestingCovestingPlatformistheultimatevenuewheresuccessfuldigitalassetmanagersmeetnew investors,while creating transparent, safe andefficient investmentenvironment.
Covesting platform allows everyday investors to search and compare theperformance of hundreds of proven crypto currency traders andmirror theirtradesautomatically.Afterinvestorsubscribestothemostsuitablestrategy-thesystemwillautomaticallysynchronizealltradingactivityfromthechosenModelinto his segregated account at Covesting, providing the convenience of assetmanagementalongwiththesafetyoffunds.

For security reasons,Modelmanagerswill never know the amount of capitalwhich is currently following their strategy. Only the number of investors. Allparticipants can choose to publish their real names or remain anonymous byusingascreen-namealias.

At initial launch, we will offer only manually-traded Models. As soon as APIbecomes“bullet-proof”tested–weshalllaunchalgo-tradingstrategiesaswell.
By implementing smart contracts and technology, we automate digital assetmanagement processes, bypass trust and insecurity issues while makinginvestmentstransparent,simpleandsecureastheysupposedtobe.
For the next following years, Covesting teamwill beworking to develop newtools,whichenableseachmemberofouronlinecommunitytobecomebothasuccessful trader on their own, and contribute from their knowledge andexperiencetoothertraders.

CovestingTokenCovesting token is an ERC20 token and a smart contract system built on theEthereumblockchain, and designed to be used bymemberswithin Covestingplatform. Following this standard, Covesting tokens are easily transferablebetween users and platforms using ERC20-compatible wallets and can besmoothlyintegratedintoexchanges.
14
Covemission
Atotalof20.000.000Covestingtokenswillbegenerated,including1.500.000toconduct PreICO, and 15.000.000 to conduct ICO. Another 2.500.000 will beshared between the founders of Covesting platform and locked in a smartcontractfor3months,whiletherestwillbegeneratedforadvisory,bountyandPRpools.
Tokendistribution

COVTokengrowth
Members buy COV tokens in order to follow one or several tradingModels,provided by the assetmanagers on the platform. Thus, the demand for COVcorrelateswiththecopy-tradingvolumeattheCovestingplatform.

DemandforCOVtokens

Successful mirror-trading in the platform will give many positive outcomes:investorswillmakeaprofit,digitalassetmanagerswillgetsuccessfeesaswellasreputationpoints,positivereviews,andhigherrankings.Suchsuccessfultradingwill attract more investors and positively influence the reputation of theCovestingplatformandtheCOVprice.
Platformearnings
Besides natural demand for COV, there are two types of commissions in theCovestingplatformusedtobackCOVvalueandrewardCOVtokenholders:
• Entrycommission2%-chargedeverytimeInvestordepositsfundstohisaccount,inordertostartfollowingtradingModels.
• 10%platformcommissiononallprofitsrealizedbymirror-trading.

Assetcontract
The COVAsset Contract is an essential part ofhow value will be created for the COV tokenholders.
WithallcommissionsaccruedinAssetContract,it creates a sufficient pool of funds to supportconsistentgrowthofCOVtokens.
RewardingTokenholders
AssoonasCovestingplatformstartsperformingwell–weaimtorewardallCOVtokenholdersbydistributingpartofaccruedcommissionsintheAssetcontract.
Today, there are two main mechanisms to return value to the contributors:dividendsandbuybacks.
Dividends create a variety of problems in the digital asset space, one of theprimaryconcernsispayingdividendstotokensheldonanexchange.Dividendswould be sent to the exchange’s custodial address, not the individuals whoshould own them, as they are the custodian(holders) of assets on theirexchanges.Inordertoallowforadividenddisbursementtoanexchangeholdingaddress, all of the exchanges would have to agree on how to handle thedividends,andtheexchangecouldpotentiallyjustkeepalldistributeddividends.
Havingadividendpayoutalmostguaranteesthatsuchtokenwillbeconsideredasecurityaccordingtoregulators-whichmeansheavierregulationconcernsandgovernmentinterference.ThereisalsothetransactioncostofsendingdividendstoCOVholdingaddresses.
Wedecidedtochooseamoreefficient(andlikelyamoreregulatoryfavorable)valuedisbursementmethod–BuybackandBurn.Technicallyspeaking,wewill

systematicallybuyCOVtokensonexchangesand“Burn”them.“Burning”meansthatpurchasedtokenswillbetakenoffthemarket,withtheconsequencethatthetotalsupplyofCOVtokenswilldecrease.ThisshouldeffectivelyimprovethevalueofCOVoverthelong-term.

Legal
InJuly,theSecuritiesandExchangeCommissionissuedarulingthatsomeofthe“coins”offeredduringrecentICOsareactuallysecurities,andtherebyaresubjectto the agency’s regulations. By offering dividends and profit-sharing suchcompanies failed the Howey Test, created by the US Supreme Court fordeterminingwhethercertaintransactionsqualifyas“investmentcontracts.”
23
TheHoweytestconsistsofthefollowing:
-Isitaninvestmentofmoneyorassets?
-Istheinvestmentofmoneyorassetsinacommonenterprise?
-Isthereanexpectationofprofitsfromtheinvestment?
-Doesanyprofitcomefromtheeffortsofapromoterorthirdparty?
Unlike other tokens, COVhas successfully passedHowey test. COV is a utilitytoken and its purpose is to facilitate services (copy-trading) on the Covestingplatform.COVisnotbackedbyrealassets(suchasrealestate)anddoesn’tgranttheirholdersanydividends.
As TimDrapermentioned inhis open letter: “If thepurposeof a token is forsocietaltransformation,andallproceedsgotothesupportanddevelopmentofthetoken,itneednotregister.”
