White Paper for KNOWS ICO: The Chatham House Rules Industry Information Token

1. Executive Summary

KNOWS is a revolutionary token designed to foster confidential and open exchanges of industry knowledge within the constraints of Chatham House Rules. By providing an anonymous and secure platform for individuals to exchange valuable industry insights, KNOWS creates a marketplace where users can be compensated for offering off-the-record industry tips while maintaining confidentiality.

2. Introduction to KNOWS

In a post artificial intelligence world where so much can be done so quickly by anybody, specialist, cutting edge, forward thinking, real world experience based knowledge and skills will be a rarer and valuable commodity.

KNOWS is an ERC-20 token and decentralized application (dapp) built on the Ethereum blockchain. It allows individuals to anonymously share industry knowledge, market trends, or confidential tips within a decentralized ecosystem. As an ERC-20 token, KNOWS is compatible with a wide range of wallets and exchanges, ensuring liquidity and ease of use for participants.

The KNOWS dapp provides a user-friendly interface for token holders to interact with the platform, share information, and earn rewards. Built on the principles of Chatham House Rules, the platform ensures that all information shared is attributed to neither the speaker nor the source, encouraging the free exchange of knowledge while respecting confidentiality.

What are Chatham House Rules?

The Chatham House Rule states that participants are free to use the information received, but neither the identity nor the affiliation of the speaker(s), nor that of any other participant, may be revealed. This rule encourages the flow of information without fear of attribution.

3. Problem Statement

In today's information-driven world, valuable industry knowledge exists but often goes shared within your networks from free, or unshared through lack of trust or compensation, and privacy concerns. KNOWS solves this problem by providing a platform where:

• Industry insights can be exchanged securely.
• Anonymity is assured to participants.
• Tokens are earned for contributing valuable or actionable information.
