Experty.io

As a consulting team, we have found a technological need for a payment service able to process ad hoc conversations and consultations. Currently, in

order to provide or receive online consultations, there are three settlement possibilities. Each of them has their own associated problems:

Charge and Cost Confusion. A user can pay a provider up front for a

consultation, but the exact amount required is not known because the provider may be charging by the minute or by the hour. In addition, the

user and provider may not know the total duration of the conversation at the time that payment is discussed.
Trust. A provider can also use a postconsultation billing system, which

requires the provider to trust that the knowledge seeker will pay for the

service after finishing the call.
Payment Friction. A provider can also rely on external services or third party intermediaries. In these cases, money transfers are highly regulated events that create a large barrier to entry, even for globally-recognized brands.

We see an opportunity to connect our dedicated software with blockchain technology. Our goal is to make Experty fully decentralized, thus preventing DDoS attacks from taking the platform down entirely. Experty will have the ability to operate globally, without interruption, at any time of day. Instead of building a single consultationmarketplace, we have created a protocol allowing users to share their paid call links or QR codes wherever they want, including but not limited to: websites, blogs, and social network profiles or

portals.

The Experty platform consists of applications available for mobile, web, and desktop. Users are also able to send free text messages between each other in order to discuss the terms further if needed. Text messaging can also be disabled by the provider if they so choose. Voice or video calls are always paid, charging by the providers predetermined rate

Mission:

Our mission is to encourage the adoption of cryptocurrency on a global scale by creating an intuitive, easy to use application that is suitable for wide scale usage. We expect mass adoption within the next 3 years. Anyone who needs to make a consultation via the Experty app will also have a cryptocurrency wallet in their pocket.

Our current focus is on solving the talent crisis in the blockchain community by allowing experts to monetize their skills through a skype-like voice and video application. Payments are handled through an automated smart contract system using Experty’s native token EXY. This will let companies obtain the talent they need, allowing the blockchain community to continue to expand and flourish.

Why Use Experty

Instant access

There are a lack of incentives to share phone numbers with strangers and answer their calls. Experty aims to solve this problem. Through Experty any influencer, professional, or expert can grant instant access to their knowledge from anywhere in the world to anyone in the world.
Instant answers

Calls can be made over Experty with very little setup. This means that answers from qualified experts can be obtained at short notice. Per minute rates are set by publicly rated experts, and refunds can be given via the smart contract if they fail to provide adequate service.
Instant payment

Experty allows experts to be paid instantly for time they spend on a call, without going through third party intermediaries. Callers don’t have to pay upfront, as payment is handled during the call through our smart contract system.

Use Cases:

The Experty app allows blockchain influencers, advisors, and developers, and companies to monetize their time and knowledge.

Blockchain Influencers — Influential individuals have the power to sway masses, set trends, and bring attention to promising blockchain projects.

Blockchain YouTubers — Popular YouTubers, such as Omar Bham from Crypt0’s News, have large audiences wanting to contact them directly. Due to time restrictions, direct contact usually occurs through comment replies or live streams. Omar has expressed interest in using Experty to schedule consultations with those that want his direct attention. Integrating with our platform will allow Youtubers an additional income stream by charging for private calls.

Advisors — Short consultations with successful business advisors can become a critical pivot point for many companies on all levels.

Developers — Talented developers are hard to find, and their skills are often needed for multiple projects. Experty allows them to easily get involved on new projects and be paid for their work.

ICO Hotlines ICOs have become very popular. Companies and associations such as Bitcoin Suisse and CryptoValley Association deal with huge amounts of requests every day. These organizations are interested in using Experty as a hotline, so that people can pay to talk with specific people within the organizations.

Paid Premium Support — It can be difficult for exchanges to handle the high volume of support requests they get. Instead of waiting, customers can skip the line and pay for premium support.

Experty Is Not a Mareketplace:

To increase decentralization, we have decided to depart from the classic approach of creating a marketplace where users can search for a specialist. The market is already fully saturated with such services.

Instead of using a central marketplace, we are implementing a completely decentralized solution. Users are free to share their Experty contact information wherever they want, such as discussion boards, Linkedin profiles, their websites, Twitter, etc. This way, blockchain experts aren’t limited to a single marketplace.

This approach allows us to omit two huge problems:

Identity of the Experts, which is already verified by third party services.

Lack of potential customers, because of a large amount of users in already existing services.

Go To Market Strategy:

In our first year we will work with influencers and companies in the blockchain space to increase adoption of the application. Later on, we would like to expand and integrate with large portals such as GitHub, Linkedin, Quora, and Coursera.

We believe it’s a very efficient go-to-market strategy and win-win situation between the users, the company and large web portals. Using a revenue sharing model, they will have an incentive to integrate the Experty.io platform into their existing system. We will also provide them software development services in order to make the integration process as smooth as possible.

Experty Token:

The Experty Token (EXY) is a major constituent of the Experty platform. EXY is created only during the Token Generation Event. EXY is a utility token that will be used for the following:

EXY will be used for all feeless payments from advice seekers to knowledge providers
EXY will be staked by users for access to premium features
EXY will be used by advice seekers as a deposit for advance scheduling with a knowledge provider

All use cases above have 0 additional fees in order to use them. All this comes 100% free for EXY users.

There are additional fees, always paid in EXY, for additional services.

If a knowledge provider accepts other cryptocurrencies like Ethereum or Bitcoin (RSK will make it possible) then the knowledge provider will be obliged to pay monthly subscription fees in EXY
We plan to integrate stable coins in the future to accept FIAT based tokens like USD and EUR. This will make the application easier to use for non crypto-wise people (all FIAT based tokens will be kept on the blockchain like USDT). We plan to work with different FIAT based tokens providers. This service will have additional fees, always paid in EXY
