FlipNpik: an innovative social network for business on the blockchain

FlipNpik is a project of a social network on the blockchain created to help local entrepreneurs and small businesses, as well as to connect it with the consumer and the synergy of all market participants.

Prerequisites for appearance

In modern conditions, there is a tendency for globalization and centralization of various areas of activity. This, in turn, led to the formation of unequal conditions of the game when in the business world only large companies survive, and small businesses are affected by a multitude of negative factors.

Social networks are no exception. In the world of social networks, there is also considerable inequality and skewed toward larger projects. It is expressed in the greater attractiveness of large social media platforms for large businesses with a good purchasing power because these platforms are able to "show" the enterprise to a large number of potential customers. Small business has neither the experience nor the means to present itself in these media.

FlipNpik proposes to solve this problem with the help of a blockchain creating the first Partner Social Network on the basis of this technology, the main task of which is to give entrepreneurs and organizations the opportunity to express themselves in social networks before a lot of users and to control their "digital image" in order to strengthen their positions in the market and in society. Buyers will also be able to access goods and services, share information with other users, create digital content, help businesses, and get paid for it.

The essence of the project

FlipNpik is a blockchain platform that offers businesses greater visibility, brand value, conversion, and revenue by bringing users to the community they create on the basis of the system. The participation model gives members of the community (the developers call them "ambassadors", "representatives") the opportunity to receive a reward for the activity shown in the social network

How it will work

FlipNpik is the first commercial social network offering entrepreneurs a flexibly customizable complete solution. The "recognizability" of an enterprise and the flow of customers will increase through the participation of people in the community - as if they were full-fledged representatives of the firm, and users exhibiting such activity will be rewarded.

What the platform offers users:

• Convenient search of firms and businessmen in the nearest availability, thanks to system of geolocation. People can quickly and conveniently find the business or store they need, get information about it, subscribe to updates, etc.
• News feed. The news will be personalized and depend on the user's location, preferences, interests, and subscriptions to those or other organizations. People will also be able to find out what their friends have subscribed to, what they have visited, to receive information about promotions and other news from their favorite stores and companies.
• Custom profiles. Owners of FlipNpik accounts will be able to place their tastes and preferences in them, which will be seen by entrepreneurs from the nearest district, optimizing offers in accordance with the wishes of people.
• Promotions and special offers. They will also be shown taking into account the preferences and position of the person on the map.
• Record library. In FlipNpik you can save your favorite points of sale, posts of enterprises, and other users in the social network.
• The “likes” system.
• The market. Within the framework of the application, a single market space is created where it will be possible to purchase goods from local stores.
• Games and entertainment. With their help users can not only have fun, but also receive certain bonuses, for example, free products or participation in promotions.
• Use of virtual and augmented reality. This is a popular trend of the digital world, which was not spared by the developers of FlipNpik. New technologies will simplify and make people more comfortable both electronic purchases and purchase of goods in real stores.
• Adding new places to the map.
• Creating content.
• Receiving rewards for activity.

For business representatives the system offers:

• Create a company profile. The firm will be able to make a "digital representation" where the necessary information will be presented to the buyers.
• Tools for marketing. The platform will have a developed set of tools for effective business promotion. So, for example, you can easily create promotions to attract new customers.
• The market. It has already been mentioned in the context of user benefits. The business will also be able to use it: for the seller the FlipNpik market space will become a simple and effective sales channel.
• Access to data. Within the system sellers will be able to receive analytics on various parameters and business results achieved promptly reacting to errors and improving the state of their business in the market.
• Schedule of posts. The platform has a customizable posting schedule, which allows you to plan in advance what and when will be posted to the public.
• Personal set of services. Sellers are available various services: publications, creation and placement of content, a training module to improve interaction with the buyer, etc.
• A virtual reality. Entrepreneurs have the opportunity to offer customers and subscribers to use services with the use of augmented reality.
• Search for service providers. Participants in the FlipNpik platform do not always know how to create content for business promotion, or do not have enough time and resources for that. Among other things, the system will offer personal support and opportunities to find content providers in a special market.

The set of services will be divided into free and provided for the FlipNpik tokens.

Types of users

FlipNpik divides users into three types: ordinary users, "representatives" (ambassadors), and "businessmen" (businesses).

• Ordinary users put the likes, share posts, create content, distribute the application, add new places to the system, make purchases, and exchange FlipNpik tokens.
• Ambassadors can perform the same actions and additionally: support user activity, support the chosen business and improve its "visibility" in the network, receive from businessmen 20% of the cost of premium services.
• Businessmen purchase premium services, offer promotions, advertise products, achieve popularity and purchasing of their brand and product.

Technologies

FlipNpik is curious about its hybrid structure: it uses the Flip Social Transactions system and the Stellar-based FNP token. Flip Social (FS) acts as a centralized management system, and FNP serves as a means of payment, an environment for tracking and verifying transactions between users.

Stellar was chosen for supporting a large number of transactions at high speed and for a small commission. Also this blockchain offers an advanced authentication mechanism, transparent, and secure. The chain of blocks records all operations with the FNP token conducted in the ecosystem.

From the user's point of view, the platform represents a mobile application that is already available for iOS and Android.

FS and FNP tokens

FS is a user compensation system working outside of the blockchain. People will be able to earn FS tokens for: activity in the application, inviting friends, and participation in the development of the ecosystem.
FS can be spent on: games, purchase coupons for discounts, participation in promotions, and exchange for FNP tokens.

FNP is the main driving force of the platform used for payments and rewards within the system. For this token you can purchase services and goods in the FlipNpik ecosystem.
FNP can be obtained: during the ICO, converting FS, buying coins in secondary markets, in exchange for providing the services necessary for business, sale of services and goods to customers.

The scope of FNP for holders is much the same as for FS; in addition, you can spend it on purchases of services and goods. Also, the ownership of FNP gives the right to become a partner (representative) of some business receiving income. A total of 1 billion FNP is planned for the issue.

At all stages 350 million FNP will be sold and 37.5 million are reserved for marketing and management purposes. The rest of the coins will be gradually emitted over the next 4 years.

The list of developers, advisers, and project assistants is quite large and includes many strong specialists from different fields. The team has done a lot of work, and the availability of the product, which can already be seen and tried, indicates the promise of investment in FlipNpik.
