Crypto Escapades Part 4 - What crypto is District0x?

[sunnyescapades]

On today's escapade inside crypto we will feature District0x.

1. Introduction

The district0x Network is a collective of marketplaces and communities. Which we call districts.
The district0x Network Token is a staking token, used by holders to join districts and participate in their governance making it fully decentralized.
All districts are built upon a standard open-source framework, d0xINFRA.
d0xINFRA is a stack of Ethereum smart contracts and front-end libraries distributed on IPFS which power a district's basic functionalities.

The​ ​district0x​ ​team​ ​intends​ ​to​ ​continue​ ​to introduce​ ​new​ ​districts​ ​to​ ​the​ ​district0x​ ​Network.​
https://github.com/district0x/district-proposals
The​ ​district0x​ ​Network​ ​makes​ ​use​ ​of​ ​an open​ ​proposal​ ​process,​ ​allowing​ ​all​ ​community​ ​members​ ​to​ ​submit​ ​ideas​ ​for​ ​new​ ​districts via​ Github​​.

Upcoming and running districts as promised on their roadmap:

Ethlance
a​ ​freelance​ ​job​ ​market and​ ​the​ ​first​ ​district​ ​of​ ​the​ ​district0x​ ​Network.
Namebazaar
​a peer-to-peer​ ​marketplace​ ​for​ ​the​ ​exchange​ ​of​ ​names​ ​registered​ ​via​ ​the​ ​​Ethereum​ ​Name Service​.
Memefactory
Meme​ ​Factory​ ​will allow​ ​users​ ​to​ ​mint​ ​their​ ​own​ ​tokenized​ ​memes​ ​and​ ​offer​ ​them​ ​for​ ​sale​ ​immediately.

Evolution
District0x's ICO/first contribution started July 18th 2017 and ended August 1st 2017.
ICO distribution: based upon the DistrictOX Genesis Contract minting a possible 1,000,000,000 DNT tokens.

Contribution Period v0.1
​During this​ period ​a​ ​total​ ​of​ ​43,169​ ​ETH​ ​of​ ​contributions​ ​were​ ​received.​ ​​600,000,000​ ​district0x​ ​Network​ ​Tokens​ ​were​ ​divided​ ​and​ ​distributed​ ​to​ ​the participants within 24 hours.

Contribution​ ​Periods​ ​v0.2​ ​and​ ​v0.3
A​ ​total​ ​of​ ​180,000,000​ ​district0x​ ​Network​ ​Tokens​ ​have​ ​been​ ​reserved​ ​to​ ​ensure​ ​the continued​ ​efforts​ ​of​ ​the​ ​district0x​ ​Network,​ ​in​ ​the​ ​event​ ​that​ ​additional​ ​contributions​ ​are needed​ ​to​ ​fulfill​ ​the​ ​district0x​ ​Network​ ​roadmap.

I had contact with them and they told me they likely don't need additional funding and will burn the remaining ones if they reach their goal.

Blockchain: Ethereum.
Consensus Method: Proof of Stake.

Conclusion

We don't give any trading advise but District0x is one my personal favorites. There is a great potential of District0x's usage. In October about 8% of the tokens were being used to vote. It's fascinating to see how District0x is evolving and they seem to have a strong community and roadmap.
District0x on top of that will hand over the governance to the network token holders after adding additional features. This truly make them fully decentralized, definitely something to look out for.

We will keep you posted and updated on District0x and any cryptocurrency we feature on a regular basis.
