Project information The Fabric Token ecosystem is a set of programs enabling anyone to develop, test and deploy their own applications based on blockchain (DApps), and supplies ready- made smart contract templates. Fabric Token is designed to help individuals and businesses implement blockchain technology and smart contracts into their business processes. TokenGen is a web application developed for individuals to use, that enables anyone to create smart contracts for tokens and crowdsales.
The Fabric Token ecosystem comprises: • Fabric Token – a digital asset to be used as the sole means of payment on the platform. • TokenGen – a web application that enables users to create smart contracts for their own tokens, and create crowdfunding campaigns. • DApp Workbench – a platform that will enable enterprises to model, implement, maintain and improve their business processes by deploying blockchain technology and smart contracts. • Fabric Store – a decentralized marketplace to assist third-party programmers to develop components for smart contracts.

Summary The project consists of the Fabric Token ecosystem, built on blockchain technology and smart contracts. We understand that the project aims to solve problems in describing and automating business processes via the integration of blockchain and smart contracts into BPM. Blockchain technology could be useful in this direction, and the project could attract the blockchain community’s attention as a result. Strengths of the project: • The chosen market demonstrates high growth rates. • The project has been assembled by an experienced team of developers and advisors. Weaknesses of the project: • The MVP is not yet available; the project team will submit TokenGen 1.0 in February 2018 and the beta version of Fabric Store in December 2018 (more information about the MVP is disclosed in the relevant section).
Market and industry A report by Infoholic Research LLP forecasts that the cryptocurrency and blockchain technologies market will grow by 35.2% in the next 5 years. In 2017, the total volume of the crypto and smart contractsmarket was about $100 billion [Market Reports Hub], $24 billion of which was based on Ethereum. The CAGR of the smart contracts market is forecast to be 61.5% for Ethereum up to 2021. [https://coinmarketcap.com/] According to the team’s analysis, about 15% of banks worldwide expect to be widely implementing blockchain technology by the end of 2017; this number will be 66% by 2020. Research by Accenture Consulting conducted in conjunction with McLagan concluded that banks can save 70% of their potential costs for creation of financial statements, 30-50% of potential costs of compliance, 50% in business transactions and 50% in centralized operations. In total this will save about $8 billion. In addition, smart contracts continue increase in use, as evidenced by a Deloitte survey conducted at the end of 2016, where 46% of respondents said they would “conclude contracts with another party using a smart contract based on blockchain”. The team also provided detailed research on current problems for smart contracts.
Comments: The market for smart contracts is developing dynamically, which assures us the project will be able to occupy its market niche.
Competitors • Etherparty - contract designer eliminating complexity in creating, managing and executing smart contracts on any blockchain system. • Agrello - a platform that develops smart contracts for business. • Blockcat - a visual designer for smart contracts enabling anyone to create and deploy smart contracts on the Ethereum blockchain without coding skills. Summary: Fabric Token has a more balanced ecosystem than its competitors, predominantly oriented to a specifically enterprise market segment.
Engineering features of the project The ecosystem is built around blockchain and smart contracts. Solidity technologies will be used to ensure security. DApp Workbench acts as a go-to product for the integration of blockchain and smart contracts into traditional business process management. The application will be equipped with a drag-and-drop interface built using the BPMN 2.0 standard, which will enable the import and use of workflows created with other BPMN-compatible tools. BPMN is a notation system for modeling business processes developed by Business Process Management Initiative and supported by Object Management Group after the merger of both organizations in 2005. Technical description The ecosystem consists of 4 components: • Fabric Token. • TokenGen. • DApp Workbench. • Fabric Store. 1. Fabric Token – a digital asset that will be used solely as a payment instrument for the products and services provided by the ecosystem. 2. TokenGen – a web application that enables users to create smart contracts for their token and organize crowdfunding without special programming skills. TokenGen functions as follows: 1. A user requests a smart contract for a personal token and crowdsale. 2. A ticker symbol for the token, its name and other information about the staging of the future ICO is provided. 3. Generation and testing of the smart contract occurs. 4. Payment for the service, receipt of the smart contract. 3. DApp Workbench – an application that enables businesses to use decentralized technologies within their company’s operations. 4. Fabric Store – a decentralized marketplace that enables third-party developers to create smart contract components for the Fabric Token ecosystem, thereby scaling the system.
MVP The first main component of the ecosystem is TokenGen. Users are able to create new tokens and hold a company crowdsale using TokenGen. The main functions of TokenGen are as follows: • Token smart-contract templates. • Crowdsale functionality. • For payments (in Fabric Tokens). TokenGen is straightforward to operate. Detailed documentation will be available on the Documentation page of the website after the crowdsale. [https://fabrictoken.io/tokengen-showcase-smart-contract-generator-token-economy/] Comments: The project system is wide-reaching, but all components use proven smart contract technology. Technical roadmap With the development of technology and data capacity it is planned to implement the following: • February 2018: TokenGen 1.0 released - includes a fully functioning web application for creating smart contracts. • April 2018: TokenGen 2.0 is released - additional templates of smart contracts added. • July 2018: A public beta version of the DApp Workbench is released - includes fully functional DApp Workbench desktop application, as well as cloud version with a limited set of smart contract components. • September 2018: DApp Workbench 1.0 is released – with extended components of smart contracts added. • October 2018: Fabric Store development commences. • December 2018: Public beta version of Fabric Store available. Partially functional interface connected to Fabric Store smart contracts is available for testing purposes. • February 2019: Official version of Fabric Store 1.0 launched. • After February 2019: Further improvement of the token ecosystem. Comments: The project team has provided a detailed plan for platform development but there is only one developer in the team; there are therefore risks that the project will not be completed to schedule.
