ViValid-offers you a unique opportunity to make money while doing something you love by becoming one of our validators.

HAVE YOU EVER FOUND SOMETHING VALUABLE? DO YOU WANT TO MAKE A PROFIT FROM THE COLLECTIBLES YOU POSSESS?

ViValid is a service that can help you assess the worth of your valuables in a fully objective and professional way. The treasures you have found, the valuables you collect, and even the things hiding in your garage and basement, such as limited-edition sneakers, can make you a sound profit if properly evaluated. Normally, you would have to either do extensive research - which won't guarantee you reliable results - or turn to a random pawn shop owner, who obviously has an interest in offering a lower price than you deserve. ViValid removes such obstacles. Our system is community driven and therefore stripped of potential ulterior motives. You only need to take pictures of your valuables and send them to ViValid for a preliminary assessment and validation of their potential value. Your query requires only one small fee. You will receive competent and objective opinions from several experts and collectors for a fraction of the usual cost of such services. Evaluators will be randomly but intelligently selected from members of the ViValid community to provide you with a truly independent assessment of your collectibles. In addition, our – “Proof of Validation Protocol” will ensure that the evaluation you receive is reliable.

Additionally, ViValid opens an opportunity to create the first decentralized, immutable, and, therefore, trustworthy, community-driven ledger of collectibles that contains the history of their value and ownership changes.

We also offer you the unique opportunity to earn money while doing something you love by becoming one of our validators. If you are a passionate collector who knows a thing or two about your field of interest, we want to hear from you. You can start as a first-tier validator, and progress through five tiers, with each subsequent tier more exclusive than the previous. If you are correct in assessing the worth of presented valuables over time, you will be promoted to the second and third tiers. The first three levels are community driven and anonymous whereas the fourth and fifth tiers are exclusive and only for proven experts. The higher you are on the ladder, the more you can earn and the less you will have to work.

ViValid is a highly advanced service built on blockchain technology, where all transactions are performed in ViV tokens. This eliminates the costs of exchange rate differences, expensive banking services, and the need for transfers between countries. As soon as you register, you are provided with a crypto wallet that stores ViV tokens. Your tokens will allow you to maintain the price of the service at a constant and unchanging level despite the variability of token pricing. We do not require that you have any prior knowledge of how the market of cryptocurrencies works. ViValid is an integrated micro-exchange that automatically removes all the inconveniences of dealing with crypto. If you want to have an object evaluated, simply – use either PayPal or your credit card, and we'll do the rest. You no longer have to search through guides, look for Internet auctions, or visit experts. ViValid is a completely transparent service with traceable contracts that can be reviewed at any time.

MARKET SIZE

USE CASES

FINDERS KEEPERS

As per the "Concept Story" presented at the very beginning of this Whitepaper, one of the most straightforward use cases would in our opinion be casual, and contingent on finding an item of unknown value.

In this scenario, the end user of the system stumbles upon a hidden treasure, whether at the grandparents' attic, on a garage sale or at the shore. Because of not being able to assess proper value of the finding due to lack of expertise in this matter, he could take few pictures, type in a short description and send the package to the ViValid network using free mobile application.

Before too long, several assessments of the item's nature, origin and most importantly - potential value will be permanently attached to the profile. Should the finder wish to have a more precise examination of the finding, he can put it through the next validation tier. Regardless from that point, he can take more informed decision concerning the item and interaction with ViValid may stop here. To the next discovery, that is.

COLLECTOR'S PARADIGM

In this scenario, ViValid is being used by amateur and professional collectors alike. Usually, members of collector’s community are aware of potential or even factual value of their possessions. Therefore, they could use the system as a service for validation of authenticity and as a way of certification.

Each evaluation is stored in the blockchain permanently while records are publicly open as a ledger which can be used to confirm valuation, and even trace the path of ownership if a new owner is willing to participate in building the history of the object. In this case, the former owner transfers merely rights onto the account of the buyer within the application.

At any point, the current owner of an item can print out a hard copy of certificate consisting of all details stored in the system and a data matrix code pointing at the original contract in the blockchain. Historical evaluations of an item can be as well used as a way of showing growth of its value in time.

UNLAWFUL POSSESSION

An immutable ledger of all validations in conjunction with traceable records of ownership changes is an inherent part of the ViValid service. In this scenario, especially the latter functionality plays a significant role.

Users can utilise blockchain technology to prove rightful ownership of an item. Additionally, ViValid provides a way of reporting stolen properties. A new potential buyer, for example, a pawnshop owner, can directly ask for a certificate of authenticity generated by ViValid or put the item on the system himself. Every time the new object is provided for validation, the image recognition alongside with machine learning subsystem will try to match it with the list of stolen items. It will raise a suspicion flag in case of the positive outcome.

POSH INDULGENCE

On a less serious note, the ViValid service can be used to indulge the vanity of an owner of the unique and expensive item. Or better yet, to prove how wrong are the friends boasting about their possessions. Maybe can even help in winning a bet?

In this scenario, the owner has no intention of selling. Additionally, he is fully aware of the value of the item. Whether he wants to prove the value to his friends, brag about it or just build the history around the artefact in the blockchain - the outcome is identical.

MONETIZED ACUMEN

Finally, the other end of the system, being a community of users with acumen gives an opportunity to generate additional income.

Each evaluation provided to the system is rewarded financially. Validators gather VIV tokens which can be traded in third-party exchanges or directly on the ViValid service

For example, a librarian having almost by definition a vast knowledge about books and potentially a little bit of free time in her day job could efficiently monetize her expertise via the mobile app.

A pawnshop owner could utilize years of experience in evaluating items of different provenience as a complementary part of his business

PROOF OF VALIDATION PROTOCOL

has been designed to serve two primary purposes.

Firstly, it provides means to distribute validation and valuation jobs within the decentralized blockchain-based network and ensures token flow between users of the system.

Secondly, the intrinsic algorithm governs neutrality and accuracy of validators' responses, paving the fundament of trust on which any system of similar kind must be built upon. Combination of statistical data and incentivizing model of different tiers of validation lies in the heart of the system. On one side, the system automatically analyses the expert's valuations looking for discrepancies, and on the other, it rewards validators with the highest success rates by providing the chance to upgrade an account to the higher tier.
