What is a White paper?

White paper is a document that describes in detail the idea of the project, its goals, objectives and methods of achieving them. In the field of blockchain and cryptocurrencies, white paper is often used to attract investment in new projects.

Why do I need a White paper?

The main purpose of the white paper is to provide potential investors and partners with detailed information about the project so that they can make an informed decision about whether to invest their funds in it or not.

A white paper usually contains the following information:

• Description of the problem that the project solves. This may be a problem related to data security, transaction speed, cost of services, etc.
• Solution that the project offers. This section describes exactly how the project will solve the problem, what technologies will be used, and what benefits the user will get.
• Project team. This section provides information about the people who work on the project, their experience and qualifications.
• Road map. This section indicates what stages of project development are planned and when they will be implemented.
• Funding. This section specifies how much money is needed to implement the project and how it will be used.
