The iCommunity team

Executive Summary

iCommunity arrives to promote and enable access to blockchain technology, breaking down the barriers that have prevented it so far. It comes to democratize and permanently extend its adoption in the real world: companies and their customers. Enough of expensive experiments and tests that are not scalable… let’s democratize this technology once and for all so that all companies can apply this innovative technology quickly, easily and cheaply. iCommunity wants to be to the blockchain what web browsers were to the internet in history: the means to spread the technology so that everyone can benefit from it. Let’s see how we do it.

To achieve this, iCommunity intends to create a flexible and powerful ecosystem of services and tools that allow the use of Blockchain technology to solve the problems and needs of companies and organizations, and that can also do so without the inherent costs and efforts. to implement your own blockchain infrastructure.

In this sense, iCommunity has promoted within the industry a new service-oriented paradigm for blockchain technology, called Blockchain-as-a-Service (BaaS). And the engine of this paradigm is the iCommunity Blockchain Solutions (iBS) platform.

iBS is designed to bridge the gap between enterprise organizations and blockchain technology by offering this technology as a service. Thanks to its service orientation, iBS allows any company from any industry to implement Blockchain in their business as if it were any other technological service, without having to deal with expensive technological projects, as well as saving on implementation costs, infrastructure maintenance and technological evolution.

iBS working as a service provides everything necessary to customers in exchange for a payment based on the use, based on the resources used. This allows companies and customers, in general, to take advantage of cloud-based services to build use cases around the technology, which greatly facilitates the adoption of blockchain in businesses by making it very accessible, even to very fledgling projects or businesses. They do not have great resources at the beginning.

In summary:

  • iCommunity provides a fast, low-risk and low-risk way to adopt Blockchain technology, all thanks to a cloud platform with the highest possible level of security and robustness.
  • iCommunity plays a necessary catalytic role in the blockchain industry as it will enable to trigger a much broader and deeper penetration of the technology across all industrial and commercial sectors.
  • Thanks iCommunity any large or small company will be able to create new blockchain products and businesses, or improve existing ones, without having to make large investments in technology. This way, they can focus on their core activities and business without having to worry about the underlying technology.

Our mission:

To facilitate access to blockchain technology so that its adoption is easy and accessible to all, democratizing its use and decentralizing business models. We bring blockchain technology to companies and individuals in an easy, fast and affordable way.

Introduction

People and businesses are more and more willing to adapt to new technologies. However, the technical complexity and operational costs involved in the creation, configuration, operation and maintenance of blockchain technology and required infrastructure act as barriers for mass adoption. iCommunity Blockchain Solutions (iBS) has come to resolve all these problems:

iBS is a platform that allows companies to benefit from cloud- based and ready to use blockchain solutions, providing everything needed to implement blockchain technology:

  • Existing utility tokens to access iBS services
  • Access to write and read/query to multiple private and public decentralized database (DTLs)
  • Distributed storage services
  • Robust KYC capabilities based on blockchain ID protocols
  • Smart contracts
  • Fully management of wallets

Additionally, iCommunity Labs will take care of all the necessary tasks to keep an agile and operational infrastructure with access to state-of-art decentralized ledger technologies. Adoption of the blockchain is hugely simplified since it dramatically shortens the implementation time needed while reducing associated operation and maintenance costs, enabling companies to worry only about their business logic.

Some of the benefits of this approach:

  • It allows customers to outsource the provision of basic services advantageously, among these, the routine activities that provide no differentiating value.
  • Reduction of costs, both capital and operational.
  • It allows organizations to vary their use capacity (by a Service Level Agreement) according to their specific needs.
  • The period between the purchase decision and obtaining real business value is reduced to days. It is also ideal for testing and creating prototypes or proofs of concept. If it fails, the cost is considerably lower than if it had been built from scratch.
  • The cost is predictable and it’s “pay-per-use”, so it’s easy to adapt any of these to an economy of scale.
  • Guaranteed backup service, which ensures the recovery of all data and the whole system at all times.

Background and current issues

Blockchain technology is one of the most promising trends of the 4th Industrial Revolution, which has been expanding during the last few years with adoption across all types of companies. Several surveys estimate that at least 70% of the organizations will have some involvement with blockchain in the next few years.

However, blockchain is creating a nascent, fragmented and unpredictable ecosystem given the lack of standardization and interoperability between different technologies. All of this, coupled with the limited number of qualified professionals, has led to business adoption of blockchain being difficult and slow.

Therefore, there is a technological need in the market to provide a simple, global, transparent, and interoperable solution capable of joining all blockchain technologies and tools to boost its adoption across interested companies.

iCommunity wants to solve this need with its expert team, leading the democratization of global blockchain technologies.

On top of everything else, every company that has ventured to explore this technology to date has developed its own blockchain use case, creating their own development, their own token, their own smart contracts and more. Everything has been made ad hoc from scratch for each case. There are thousands of different tokens, most of which have no value beyond each particular use case, trying to increase their value in decentralized exchanges, which is making the vast majority of blockchain application projects fail.

Each company is working alone when many of the use cases are 80% applicable to other companies in the same industry (addressing the necessary customizations for each specific case). Huge resources are dedicated to developing the same use cases again and again, which makes no sense (more so taking into account the difficulties involved with these projects).

A new industry paradigm: Enterprise Blockchain-as-a-Service (EBaaS)

The Blockchain market is valued at more than $65 billions and it is expected to keep growing in the following 7 years to over $1,75 trillions, with a current dominance of the USA market but where the European and LATAM markets are rapidly growing.

According to the recent study published by Gartner, the billing associated with the public cloud (“as-a-service” models) worldwide will grow by +21% during this year. In total, actually we are targeting a market of nothing less than $200 billions.

And the most important: Gartner estimates that by 2022 SaaS solutions market will already account for 45% of all software spending in the world. And this is where the great potential of the EBaaS model can be glimpsed since it continues the disruption and innovation of the technology along with the big advantages of the SaaS model.

Thus, the EBaaS approach provides a fast, low-cost and low-risk way for organizations to adopt this technology and benefit from an already created ecosystem, supported by a cloud platform with the highest level of security and transparency possible.

And this is where our solution iCommunity Blockchain Solutions (iBS) comes in: an EBaaS platform that enables this new business model to be added to the success of other “as-a-Service models”, already widely validated in the market and with enormous potential.

Enterprise Blockchain-as-a-Service (EBaaS) model constitutes a proposal that allows companies and customers, in general, to take advantage of cloud-based solutions already implemented to build, host and provide an existing token, smart contracts and blockchain functions, while the platform provider manages all the necessary tasks and activities to keep the infrastructure agile and operational.

Therefore, the adoption of blockchain is dramatically simplified beacuse works similarly to the concept of the Software as a Service (SaaS) model.

iBS technology architecture

iCommunity offers a flexible and powerful platform that includes a simple API service and complementary dashboard tools working with blockchain technology designed to meet the needs of companies and businesses that seek to obtain the benefits of this technology without the inherent cost and effort of developing their own blockchain infrastructure and technical knowledge.

This “iCommunity Blockchain Solution” (IBS) platform currently solves the main problem of being able to bring this technology to companies of all sizes, along with new accessories and others to come in the roadmap and which we will show later in this whitepaper. Our solution constantly pursues the combination of results of the simplicity of integration of companies such as stripe + the added value services of companies such as Netflix or others focused on offering quality results, continuous service, and low costs.

iCommunity Labs continuously worked on the democratization of blockchain. iBS is the first multi-chain platform to offer “Enterprise Blockchain- as-a-service” to incorporate blockchain capabilities in a self-service and low-code API. The multi-chain layer connects the different external apps with different blockchain networks (private and/or public), allowing our clients to carry out transactions with the most suitable network.

The platform is responsible for the continuous maintenance of the connections to the different networks, updates, new network incorporations, and easy simple change from one to another and in a transparent way and that generates greater interest for customers.

  • Price per transaction.

iBS services scope

iBS-IDentity: a digital identity service based on blockchain

The traditional identity systems of today are fragmented, insecure, and exclusive. Blockchain enables more secure management and storage of digital identities by providing unified, interoperable, and tamper-proof infrastructure with key benefits to enterprises, users, and IoT management systems.

Blockchain identity management systems could be used to eradicate current identity issues such as 

  • Inaccessibility
  • Data insecurity
  • Fraudulent identities

Blockchain technology offers the following benefits:

  • Decentralized Public Key Infrastructure (DPKI)
  • Decentralized Storage
  • Manageability and Control

What is Digital Identity?

A digital identity arises organically from the use of personal information on the web and from the shadow data created by the individual’s actions online. A digital identity may be a pseudonymous profile linked to the device’s IP address, for example, a randomly-generated unique ID. Data points that can help form a digital identity include usernames and passwords, drivers license number, online purchasing history, date of birth, online search activities, medical history, etc. Biometrics, Behavioral, Biographic are the modals that make up a person’s identity.

Digital identification can be used in many ways:

  • For Companies

Companies often collect sensitive information about their users and store them alongside less-sensitive routine business data. This creates new business risks with the rise of user privacy-centric regulations such as GDPR and the shifting industry focus to corporate IT responsibility. When these data are relegated to tight-lipped data vaults, they become less useful in driving product improvements and attaining true customer understanding. Only after receiving large fines or developing stronger IT capabilities will many enterprises pursue expensive and risky projects to achieve the right balance between data security and business needs.

  • For IoT Devices

There are about 7 billion internet-connected devices. This number is expected to grow to 10 billion by 2020 and 22 billion by 2025. In a still-nascent industry, most IoT technologies do not incorporate appropriate identity and access management capabilities, not unlike the early Internet which consisted solely of trusted institutions. Interconnected internet of things (IoT) devices and objects must identify sensors, monitors, and devices, and manage access to sensitive and non-sensitive data in a secure manner. Leading IT vendors have begun to offer IoT management systems to address these service gaps. For example, it is not uncommon for a single organization to have tens of thousands of IoT devices, in contrast to the mere dozens or hundreds of traditional servers and user devices. Mismatching standards across devices is a common ailment with such volume. Security frequently remains an afterthought to the already-taxing implementation of simple management capabilities at scale, evident with large-scale IoT hacking emerging as a vogue topic at top IT security conferences.

  • For Individuals

Identity is integral to a functioning society and economy. Having a proper way to identify ourselves and our possessions enables us to create thriving societies and global markets. At its most basic level, identity is a collection of claims about a person, place or thing. For people, this usually consists of first and last name, date of birth, nationality, and some form of a national identifier such as passport number, social security number (SSN), driving license, etc. These data points are issued by centralized entities (governments) and are stored in centralized databases (central government servers).

Physical forms of identification aren’t widely available to every human for various reasons. Approximately 1.1 billion people worldwide don’t have a way to claim ownership over their identity. This leaves one-seventh of the world’s population in a vulnerable state – unable to vote in elections, own property, open a bank account, or find employment. The inability to attain identification documentation jeopardizes a person’s access to the financial system and in turn, limits their freedom.

Citizens with officially recognized forms of identification continue to lack complete ownership and control over their identities. They have a fragmented online identification experience and unknowingly lose the value that their data generates. Companies holding their data are subjected to frequent hacks, which forces a lifetime of fraud mitigation for the end-user. Once a social security number is issued and lost, there is little to no recourse.

iBS-IDentity

As part of iBS platform, digital identity service will allows to modernize identity management for organizations and individuals. Leveraging the power of blockchain and biometrics, iBS-IDentity will makes establishing, tracking and maintaining digital identities more efficient, user friendly, secure and less open to fraud.

iBS-IDentity will makes life easier for organizations in that it will be interoperable with other databases, so existing data remains in original locations. Attestations are immutable, providing trust for background checks.

These components, in addition to the open source algorithm created by iCommunity, will ensure the integrity and persistence of user data and transactions even if iCommunity eventually disappears.

iBS-Tokenization: a tokenization service based on ICOM ecosystem

Blockchain is undoubtedly one of the hot topics presented in the world of finance. It has introduced various new advancements alongside presenting distinct benefits with its traits such as decentralization, transparency, distributed structure, and immutability. Therefore, blockchain has found various applications in the global financial ecosystem, and asset tokenization is one of the notable mentions that draw attention towards blockchain.

Asset management is a very crucial concern for all organizations. However, the existing asset management landscape is plagued with various setbacks due to duplicity of documents, limited transparency, and forgery. The tokenization of assets can help in leveraging the capabilities of blockchain for transforming the physical asset management process.

Why Should Businesses Choose Tokenization?

The conventional asset management approach presents a higher vulnerability to the chances of fraud and errors. In addition, the following issues in asset management industry also point out the need for benefits of asset tokenization.

  1. The current asset management industry depends on approaches that create exceptional difficulties in pinpointing the source of error in event one occurs. Furthermore, the complexity of asset management with traditional tokenization also creates barriers to ensuring proven accountability.
  2. The fragmented storage of data with existing tokenization mechanisms also creates the need for blockchain tokenization. All the parties involved in asset management transactions with conventional tokenization have their own versions of data. As a result, it creates considerable difficulties in pointing out the source of error, especially considering complexity of the processes.
  3. Another prominent issue that plagues the existing state of asset management refers to complicated onboarding process. Malicious agents could leverage the extended duration and slow speed of conventional tokenization processes. Hackers could exploit the vulnerabilities arising from complications in the process and use forged documents or IDs for getting onboard without any difficulties.

iBS-Tokenization

iBS-Tokenization is basically the iCommunity Labs service involving conversion of physical as well as non-physical assets into blockchain. The concept of blockchain tokenization has gained considerable popularity in recent times. Gradually, tokenization is finding blockchain applications in traditional industries such as real estate, stocks, and artwork.

iBS-Tokenization is the perfect ally for project promoters and financial investors to achieve new forms of economic relationship. Thanks to the digital liquidity of tokenization, especially by decentralized pools, any market can benefit from greater financial liquidity.

  • Better liquidity
  • No more intermediaries
  • Automation and efficiency
  • Better transparency
  • Improved accessibility
B2C verticals

In order to demonstrate the power and capabilities of iBS and provide interesting possibilities for people to incentivize them to use the ICOM token, we are creating use cases (verticals) for:

  • Digital notarization and evidence generation for events and any type of file (documents, pictures, logs,…)
  • Certified traceability:
  • Personal data anonimization:
Multi-vitamin Dashboard

Clients and developers have access to iCommunity support dashboard to control and monitor transactions with visual and intuitive set-up and help tools.

These “vitamins” tools and functions work along and complement the iBS API to customize set-up easily with no-code modifications required.

  • Get a log of transactions with a link of the blockchain record and, if applicable, access to archived raw files. IPFS encrypted.
  • Technical documentation and tools for developers such as Swagger and Postman.
  • Webhooks aggregator. Just a click to benefit from this functionality.

  • Automatic issuing and mining of ERC-20 and/or NFT with the creation of needed wallets for each use case.
  • An extensive library of customizable smart contracts, provided by iCommunity or third parties, available for use and already integrated with iBS API.

Innovations of iBS & competitive advantage

iBS already has a working API product where blockchain capabilities are ready to be used and scale while other competitors’ proposals rely on future promises and ad hoc developments.

  • Interoperability problems between different blockchains/DLTs are resolved, easing integration and transparency of each business application.
  • Different types of businesses are put together, especially those that have no resources to carry out in-house projects.
  • Implementation of business models based on tokenized assets is simplified.
  • Transparency and anti-fraud barriers are enhanced.
  • The easiest API use and connection thanks to the low code proposal.
  • Vitamin dashboard – Click-based add-ons to our API
  • Business transactions are less expensive and faster as manual procedures are automatized through smart contracts.

OX ECO-Protocol

iCommunity is already working in its proprietary “OX ECO-protocol”, an algorithm to manage multiple transactions from different sources and clients so they can be processed jointly within public networks such as Ethereum, so mining cost and energy are dramatically reduced while there is no loss of granularity nor persistence of data.

This protocol will work as a first-layer solution. iBS does not save any transaction, thus reducing possible risks and maintaining all the value of the direct transfer on the network.

How companies are using iBS?

iCommunity has relevant clients who are leaders in their industry.

ICOM: the iBS utility token

DISCLAIMER:

At the date of publication of this Whitepaper, there is no specific regulation in Spain or at the European Union level that regulates the issuance and offer of digital assets such as the ICOM Token.

Digital assets pose specific challenges, as there may be a lack of clarity on how regulatory frameworks apply to the issuance and offering of such assets. ESMA and certain Competent National Authorities (including the CNMV) have pronounced themselves interpreting and clarifying the implementation of the regulations in force on certain digital assets, in particular with regard to the implementation of the regulations in force on the securities markets.

Some Member States have already enacted specific rules for the issuance and offering of digital assets (eg France, Liechtenstein and Germany). At European level no specific regulation has been formally announced, but it cannot be ruled out.

  • The ICOM token is NOT intended to be used as a means of payment for goods or services provided outside of the iCommunity ecosystem.
  • The ICOM token does NOT represent in any way any participation, right, title or interest in the entities that develop the ecosystem. Any distributor of the ICOM Token on platforms, exchanges, affiliates and/or companies that are not affiliated and/or official partners of the iCommunity Labs ecosystem, is out and NOT permitted by iCommunity Labs.
  • The ICOM Token does NOT grant right to token holders to any kind of promise of fees, dividends, income, profits or investment returns, and is NOT intended to constitute securities of any kind.
  • The ICOM Token may ONLY be used within the ecosystem of iCommunity Labs and its affiliates and official partners, and ownership of ICOM does NOT grant any rights, express or implied, other than the right to use it as a means to enable use and interaction within the ecosystem.

Ethereum, base of the ICOM Token

“iCommunity Blockchain Solution” (iBS) platform is the core of the iCommunity Labs ecosyste, and its unique token, the “ICOM”, is designed to be its utility token.

Its main objective is to decentralize and facilitate how it operates within the iBS platform, being the only way to use the different use cases within iBS and in the rest of the ecosystem, formed by the other use cases (companies using iCommunity technology and offering value products/services) affiliates and partners.

With the symbol ‘ICOM’, this token is based on Ethereum’s ERC-20 standard.

ICOM use cases within the community:

iBS Platform

All the transactions of the platform and services will be carried out through ICOM, acting as the gas that iBS needs to carry out its operations and provide its services.

Each type of transaction or service will need a different number of ICOMs that will vary depending on various factors: type of blockchain network, use case, product or functionality, etc.

Rewards for using iBS platform

The use of the iBS platform and its use cases will be rewarded with offers and services within the platform and its affiliates (clients and partners who are integrated into the platform and use the ICOM Token in their services), to encourage the use of the ecosystem. Clients who acquire tokens and use the services will be able to benefit from the specific conditions of these, for members of the community.

These rewards will be awarded only in ICOM tokens and will be exchanged only for services on the platform, never for money.

Directory of applications that use iCommunity technology

All companies and developments that connect and make their transactions by iBS platform will do use of the ICOM Token in their projects to take advantage and benefits, promoting a common utility token. The forecast is that, as companies and developments that use the iCommunity Labs platform grow, the ICOM Token will be increasingly in demand.

Audits and certifications

Community Labs is listed in the official register of the Spanish Ministry of Economic Affairs and Digital Transformation as NQSTP, according to UE Regulation 910/2014. iCommunity has the seal of “innovative PYME” and is an official partner of the “Accelerate PYME” program of the Ministry of Science & Innovation of Spain.

iCommunity technology has been audited by the highest certification standards of official bodies in Spain.

Social and environmental impact

For iCommunity Labs, corporate social responsibility is a vital component and, therefore, contributes to the transformation of the environment to achieve a more just and egalitarian world, knowing that, although it is a complex issue, it is possible to add great value to this change through actions adjusted to its capacity. Therefore, its business model seeks not only economic benefit, but also to create value in society.

To carry out this work, a special CSR program has been developed with different actions and protocols aimed at social inclusion, sustainability, economic development and social welfare. The CSR program seeks alliances with NGOs and non-profit associations with which to collaborate and establish long-term synergies. CSR actions are real and have a clear social purpose.

With this objective in mind, and according to the last section, iCommunity Labs is currently collaborating with an exciting project with the NGO Bokatas.org, an organization formed entirely by volunteers, which aims to be a speaker that makes visible the drama that socially excluded people are experiencing without home or work.

The project consists of a disruptive mobile application with blockchain technology, which will serve Bokatas to streamline and facilitate all the management and organization processes of volunteers on their weekly routes, in addition to offering a program for labor inclusion.

This application will also serve as a means of communication and information for people at risk of social exclusion who request it. All of its features will be free and publicly available.

Sustainability

Within the iCommunity Labs CSR program, there is a section dedicated to Environmental Social Responsibility (RSA). Environmental awareness is taken into account in corporate’s policy and, for this, different protocols are carried out focused on reducing environmental impact and complying with social commitment, respecting the environment and promoting sustainability in production processes.

In effect, the iCommunity Labs management is aware of the importance of the contribution of everyone, companies, institutions, public administrations and individuals, in promoting responsible practices that respect the environment and that allow a clear advance of society towards a better world.

For this reason, the integration of environmental guidelines into its business strategy has been imposed. These guidelines are embodied in the Environmental Policy, which is inspired by two principles: compliance with all applicable environmental regulations, and continuous improvement of activities to protect the environment. With both principles, the startup is committed to the prevention, protection and conservation of the planet.

To carry out these principles iCommunity proposes:

  • Adopt the necessary measures to prevent pollution and, when this is not possible, reduce polluting emissions to a minimum. We periodically calculate and measure the environmental footprint of our activity, to identify improvement objectives.
  • Reduce waste, recycling and reusing it whenever possible, as well as efficiently using natural resources, raw materials and energy.
  • Apply the necessary measures to guarantee compliance with the environmental regulations applicable to our activities at the local, national and global levels.
  • Disseminate the environmental policy among employees, suppliers, and other interested parties. We promote the use of alternative transport such as bicycles, public transport or shared cars. We implement outsourcing, equipment rental to reduce the carbon footprint, the use of paper and the expense of supplies.
  • Train and educate employees so that in their day-to-day work they carry out their performance following the environmental policy.
  • Establish procedures for the periodic review of compliance with the environmental policy, as well as apply corrective measures when these have been breached.
  • Carry out a process of continuous improvement of our performance respecting the environment.

In addition, proofs of concept are being carried out with blockchain technology that has a positive environmental impact. One of them is a blockchain-based platform to promote the circular economy, with a system of bonuses calculated for CO2 savings.

Summary

Digital transformation is turning into the 4th industrial revolution by implementing technologies like Big Data, Machine Learning, Artificial Intelligence or IoT. New technology has recently joined the cast, and it is none other than Blockchain.

However, like all new technology, its implementation has yet to be “democratized”, as it’s a restricted technology due to the high implementation cost, the need for professionals who know how to implement it and the general lack of knowledge that exists about how to adopt a particular business model.

In addition, to date, every company is developing its own blockchain cases of use, creating their own development, tokens, Smart contracts… Everything is made ad hoc for each case. There are thousands of different tokens, most of which have no value beyond each particular use case.

And this is where our proposal arises: iCommunity Blockchain Solutions (iBS) and the utility token ICOM

A platform designed to narrow the existing gap between business organizations and Blockchain technology, offering this technology as a service through (vertical) “use cases” that include a comprehensive technical experience and the support of top developers. iBS is, therefore, the FIRST commercial platform that offers “Enterprise Blockchain as a service”, i.e: “plug-and-play” solutions for all companies in the world. Without a doubt, the ULTIMATE solution to extend the use of this technology to the expected levels.

iCommunity has created and validated the “Blockchain as a service” (iBS) platform with large companies. A unique example of how to land the most disruptive technology of today, to break down barriers, making it simple and economical, so that all types of companies can boost their businesses like never before.

This work has been recognized and audited by various bodies and official awards (NEOTEC, Cervera, innovative PYME… etc.) And by large clients who are authentic international benchmarks in their sector: Estrella Galicia, AENOR, Logalty and more.

Our goal: Make blockchain technology easy and accessible for all, by democratizing its use and decentralizing business models that have traditionally been centralized, which will, in turn, optimize their processes. We bring Blockchain technology to businesses and people in an easy, fast and affordable way.
