Business Finance Homework Help

Background

FinTech promises to revolutionise finance as well as social organisations with decentralisation

as well as automated control and coordination through the use of tokens and smart contracts.

These entities are assembled meaningfully into decentralised apps (dapps) to solve business

problems. Dapps are in turn used as building blocks for even bigger coordinative structures

that may lead to decentralised organisations.

A wide range of dapps have been created and published on the Ethereum platform as one can

observe on the website stateofthedapps.com. These dapps use the underlying infrastructural

technology of the Ethereum network and provide a variety of services that are encoded by their

underlying smart contracts.

With the rise of other smart contract platforms, such as the EOS or Qtum, the number of dapps

floating around on the internet is slated to increase.

A typical dapp proposes to solve one specific business problem or a host of them, spelt out

clearly in a whitepaper, with developers creating code and raising funds in the form of coin of

the underlying network through the issuance of a token over a period of time.
Topic

For this ECA, you will identify a business or financial problem, or a host of them, and create

or propose to create a dapp in order to provide solutions to your identification.

You will adhere closely to how dapps are generally created and published on a smart contract

platform. Therefore, you will explain the problem and solution in a whitepaper, propose a dapp

and create it in code either partially or fully.

Furthermore, you will also plan for the fund raising in the form of an ICO.
Question 1

Undertake and complete a comprehensive project as specified under Topic.

You may find the following questions useful as guidelines:

• Analyse the landscape of existing dapps on the Ethereum network and/or other smart

contract platforms to gain a sense of the coverage and use cases in the provision of

business solutions.

• Survey and distinguish the present and anticipate the future fintech landscape in your

proposal of a problem that can be feasibly and fruitfully solved with a dapp.

• Illustrate your plan in rolling out the dapp in full details.

• Design, construct and write code for the smart contract(s) underlying the dapp and

carefully explain how they work.
