ZILLA will act as a gateway for Crypto enthusiasts to easily and safely participate in various vetted ICOs, while also allowing companies to do an ICO more effectively. ICO crowdsales are becoming more commonplace. With more than 1500 ongoing ICOs and counting, it is becoming overwhelming for buyers to keep track, compare, and verify various ICOs. Moreover, the ever growing complexity of the ICO environment for new, would-be crypto enthusiasts is both astounding and paralyzing. No simple consumer-Copyright 2017 [ZLA PTE LTD] PRZLA.IO 2friendly and intuitive plat exists that enables participants to conveniently grasp and compare competing ICOs. In addition, there is no central authority or institution by design that is a reference point for new crypto enthusiasts. The discovery of new ICOs remains a challenge. Before the decision is made to participate in an ICO, potential participants must painstakingly learn about how proposed projects will work, investigate the backgrounds and qualifications of the team behind the projects, and understand exactly what they are purchasing. The risk of scams and fake crowdsales undermine the credibility of the sector, and the process of completing KYC requirements for multiple projects is time-consuming. These issues reduce the amount of attention each ICO gets, and as the number of ICOs increases, maximizing exposure for quality ICOs becomes more important. ZILLA makes this entire process simpler, by providing a unified marketplace for ICO crowdsales. In the same way plats like Etrade and Ant Financial made the stock market more accessible to the general public, or Alibaba and Amazon make it easy to buy products online, ZILLA brings ICO token crowdsales to regular users in the of one simple app. Users are presented with a comprehensive list of properly-vetted ICO projects, together with all the ination needed to make an ined decision about which projects to participate in. Once a decision has been made, users can participate in their chosen project with a single click. ZILLA will also be the first multi-lingual app ICO plat that will allow individuals from Japan, Korea, China, as well as English-speaking countries to participate and view ICO ination in their own language. We identified those markets to be the hotbeds of the crypto market, and no single ICO plat to-date is inclusive of all these markets.

Your pre-registered KYC ination is automatically forwarded to any project when required. Purchases can be made with any one of the many cryptocurrencies we support, or even with other ICO tokens. The functionality of the production version of the ZILLA application is subject to change. It can be difficult to quickly figure out the relevant details of an ICO. With ZILLA, all ICOs are crowd-vetted and atted for accuracy. You can upvote projects on ZILLA that you find appealing, and downvote those that you find unappealing. This voting structure allows you to see, at a glance, which projects are the most popular amongst other users. All users must register to use this feature, so votes can not easily be manipulated. This feature is quite similar to Reddit’s voting system, and it’s designed so that you will see the most appealing projects first. You will also be able to search by project time such as New Blockchains, Decentralized Apps, Projects with VCs, Projects that allow Americans, etc. We will support English, Chinese Japanese and Korean on all versions of our app. More languages will be added over time.

Copyright 2017 [ZLA PTE LTD] PRZLA.IO 7Token issuer experience As more ICO projects become available, the more difficult it will become for quality projects to attract people who are interested in participating in crowd sales. Marketing, user outreach, and the production of inative-yet-attractive materials describing the project takes time and resources, when developers should be focused on advancing their projects. ZILLA makes it easy for token issuers to list and explain their projects to potential crowdsale participants. Owners of a project can upload a description of their project, biographies and qualifications for all team members, business plans, existing VC funders, advisors, and other funding details users may need to make an ined decision about which projects to participate in. All of this ination is localized and translated, to allow ICOs to more effectively reach and attract a global audience. More importantly, ZILLA handles all KYC collection and verification, and provides this ination automatically to token issuers who require it for jurisdictional compliance. Standard usage fees Token issuers who launch an ICO crowdsale on ZILLA will be charged 2 of funds raised as a fee for using the plat. Users who purchase ICO tokens will be charged a 1 fee for using the plat. All ICO purchase fees are waived for ZLA token holders, while fees pertaining to the ICO crowdsale on the ZILLA plat may be reduced for ZLA token holders. see ZLA Token - General Discount Plan.

In this event, a new cryptocurrency venture exchanges a portion of its cryptocurrency tokens to early users and supports in exchange for funding. The Token Crowdsale will take place on our website and you can find further and updated ination on our official website at ZLA.IO Why do a Token Crowdsale ZILLA has already prototyped the ZILLA plat and has gathered an expert team consisting of an experienced CEO, developers, bankers and advisors from the legal, compliance and VC world. However, fully implementing the ZILLA payment plat and building an iOS and Android ZILLA app will require substantial funding and a bigger team. ZILLA chose to conduct a Token Crowdsale to further understand the token issuer experience and gather the crypto community around a novel plat for future Token Sales. ZILLA participants can then also use their purchased tokens for the future use of the plat and save on the token sale fees. ZLA Token - Plat Discount Plan During the ZILLA Token Crowdsale, ZLA tokens will be issued and swapped. Once the ZILLA plat is launched, ZLA tokens can be used by ICO participants and ICO issuers alike to reduce the fees required to use the ZILLA plat. All users of the plat can simply hold ZLA tokens in their portfolio to receive the discounted fees For ICO token issuers, each ZLA token held earns a 100 USD discount on fees, up to 50 of the total fees charged i.e. 1 of the total amount raised in the ICO. For example, an ICO project that raises 10 million USD and holds 500 ZLA tokens would reduce their 200,000 USD fee by 50,000 USD. If they hold 2,000 or more ZLA tokens, their fee would be reduced to 100,000 USD. ICO token issuers who wish to make use of the discount offered by ZLA tokens must commit the amount of ZLA tokens they wish to use before starting their crowdsale, and those tokens are locked in for the duration of the sale. If the crowdsale is collecting funds in a currency other than USD e.g. bitcoin or ethereum, the discount awarded per Copyright 2017 [ZLA PTE LTD] PRZLA.IO 10ZLA token is calculated based on the USD exchange rate on the day the crowdsale starts. For ICO participants, each ZLA token held earns a 100 USD discount on fees, up to 100 of the fees charged by ZILLA. For example, a user spending 20,000 USD on tokens would normally pay 200 USD in fees, but if they hold 2 ZLA tokens, they wouldn’t have to pay any fee. A user spending only 2,000 USD on tokens could hold 0.2 tokens to eliminate their 20 USD fee, or 0.1 tokens to reduce their fee to 10 USD. For ICO participants, when purchasing ICO tokens, users simply need to hold ZLA tokens in their portfolio to receive the fee discount. The tokens are not locked, and can be traded any time. At any time, ZILLA can choose to increase, but not decrease, the value of the discount awarded to ZLA token holders. Airdrop/p
