Islander introduces Islander token (ISA), a versatile currency with multiple purposes...

It can help other crypto projects easily find more supporters, it can help influencers increase their income, and it can also benefit crypto adopters and creators financially. All thanks to Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs).

Islander also provides easy-to-use and intuitive tools for implementing and managing user's own projects. The platform will also offer full support for developers, with powerful open -source software development kits (SDKs) including wallets, plugins, customizable quests, management apps, and a payment gateway platform.

Purpose

"Questing" on the blockchain

Islander is a decentralized platform to manage and market your own projects in a unique way. Project owners (crypto project managers, influencer, content creator) can quickly engage their audience's attention and nurture them in the long term by giving out interesting and interactive quests to earn tokens/NFTs, which, as a result, will help projects promote their own currencies in the Islander community.

Easy to use currency

ISA is a crypto currency with the sole purpose of facilitating content & community marketing. Users can use ISA t buy different other NFT tokens with multiple purposes such as buying access to exclusive content from a writer or buying exclusive perks offered by the platform; or state ISA to tier up with higher benefit packages for learn-to-earn activities.

A new approach to ownership & value

Supporters will play an important role in the success of a project and at the same time, they grow their digital wallet with real value as the project grows.

Fight back against Fraud and Centralized Affiliate Marketing

Islander-minted tokens will make transactions permission-less and secure with minimal transaction fees. With the decentralized model of affiliate marketing, everyone can support and earn rewards for their contributions to the overall growth of their trusted projects.

A market of high-quality content

Using Islander will promote a culture of sharing, collaboration, and sense of community by giving supporters/followers more control over their backed projects. Those who feel empowered will keep coming back, thus increasing revenue and engagement for content creators.

High adaptability

Islander is unique because the project itself can be used to promote other cryptocurrencies. it gives users a powerful platform to monetize their own content. With its open-source policy and full development support, developers can seamlessly integrate islander into their platforms.

Who are the team members of Islander?

While being experienced in the blockchain & crypto world, the Islander founders are also “the mind then the might” behind Spiderum.com - an online user generated content platform with 1.500.000 monthly pageviews and 100.000 users. Their expertise in community building and their “community first” vision are their key strengths, along with the technical capabilities and business acumen.

What makes Islander unique?

Attracting the right users in the crypto world is often a painful process for blockchain projects. Islander solves this problem for both project owners and retail investors with an innovative affiliate marketing platform which empowers active & supportive communities of crypto projects, content creators, KOLs, and individuals.

With the Islander platform, people can partake in different types of quests created by project owners and get rewarded instantly.

WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT ISLANDER TOKEN (ISA)

Islander introduces Islander token (ISA), a versatile currency with multiple purposes: it can help other crypto projects easily find more supporters, it can help influencers increase their income, and it can also benefit crypto adopters and content creators financially, all thanks to Non Fungible Tokens (NFTs). Islander’s initial launch is near (end of October), and we want to take this opportunity to talk a bit more about ISA, how it is used, and how the supply will be at genesis. Please note that the ideas presented here are still work in progress and subject to change.

WHAT WILL ISA BE USED FOR?

ISA will be mainly used on Islander, a decentralized affiliate marketing platform for crypto projects, influencers, and content creators, which means the token will be the fuel behind activities from Islander’s users. The primary function of ISA is payment on the platform but for each target user, the use case will be different. T

There are several use cases that we can share at the moment:

1. For crypto projects (Island Lords)

2. For influencers

3. Stake to level up

4. Burn Mechanic

1. For crypto projects (Island Lords)

ISA can be used by Island Lords (project owners) to create bounties (quests) to attract more visitors (crypto enthusiasts) to their Islands. Though the fee of creating bounties will be in ISA, rewards of the created bounties are in your currency of choice.

The number of quests an Island Lords can create for free in a month will be limited. We will have different packages (with different pricing models) to help you expand your quest inventory (more details will be shared in the future). Islander also provides different supporting services for crypto projects such as user reports/analytics as well as marketing services (banner, ranking, automation, etc.)

2. For Influencers (Boat Owners)

Boat owners play an important role in bringing more visitors to islands through their influence. It works similarly to affiliate links on affiliate e-commerce sites: influencers can create their customized links and incentivize people to use them to purchase tokens of a crypto project.

ISA is used to “mint” these links on Islander at a large volume. A couple of first links can be minted for free, but to maneuver, let’s say, an affiliate marketing campaign with a lot more different target audiences, you will need to purchase supporting packages to extend the volume. These packages not only help you increase the number of links you can mint, but also provide you with useful tools to manage your links better such as custom domain, custom short link, analytics ,etc.

3. Stake to level up

Islander encourages its users to stake ISA, thus increasing the longevity of the platform and the health of its economy. There will be several benefits of staking ISA also:

• For crypto projects, staking helps unlock more features of Islander. Those features can be in the form of NFTs (random cosmetic items for your islands like a new boat, a new villa, a new garden, etc.) or they can also be discounts when purchasing platform services, or promotions from Islander (banner, forum and social media mentions).

• For influencers, staking means you have access to higher rewards from our platform, the interests after a fixed amount of time staking ISA will be taken directly from the reservation pool of ISA.

• For normal users (residents or quest takers), staking allows you to do more quests on a daily basis (the number of quests undertaken by a user is limited per day). It also helps you access higher quests with better rewards from Island Lords.

4. Burn Mechanic

Islander will implement a “burn” mechanic to the ISA. Basically, every transaction on Islander comes with a fee (in ISA). Part of this fee will be burned (which means these tokens will vaporize completely) to increase the scarcity of ISA by reducing the total supply. The other part will be used for maintaining, updating, and expanding the platform.

What are the use cases of Islander Token (ISA)?

Crypto Projects and Influencers will need ISA to create their quests and affiliate campaigns respectively. Crypto Enthusiasts, i.e. followers of a crypto projects, can earn ISA by supporting their favorite projects. ISA is also used to proceed transactions, and a proportion of the token will be gradually burned, hence increasing the rarity as long as the market demand of it.

After launch, we will push ISA onto other blockchains as well, the first one will be BSC, with Fantom, Tron, Polkadot… following. The next stage will be staking and NFT market, boosting the liquidity of ISA while keeping the controlled amount of ISA in the market to benefit our supporters.

What are the benefits of using Islander for content creators?

Islander is not meant exclusively for crypto projects, its model can also be applied to content publishing. We call content creators “Merchants” in Islander, and instead of giving out “bounties”, they can use cryptocurrencies (including ISA) to create NFT tickets in the form of different items (clothes, accessories, gadgets, etc.).

Users are then able to buy these items to get access to exclusive content created by Merchants.

What does the end goal look like for Islander?

The end-goal in mind for us right now is to build a decentralized world facilitating knowledge transfer and accelerating mass crypto adoption.

In the long term we would like to create an Island-Verse where every player, from crypto projects, influencers to individuals, can connect, exchange values and gain benefits in a gamified economy. Users can reclaim land, own and trade NFTs, build communities, and earn crypto rewards by playing and contributing to the development of the Island-Verse.

What is the biggest difference between the Play-to-Earn model used by many other platforms and the Learn-to-Earn model developed by Islander?

The biggest difference between Play-to-Earn and Learn-to-Earn is, the former focuses on entertainment and some financial benefits coming along, while the latter emphasizes on knowledge transfer with also financial benefits. However, Islander’s approach to knowledge transfer is not through textbooks and exams but gamification.

For example, on Islander, Crypto Projects can create quests (a prominent element we take from video games) with unique narrations and rewards to engage with their supporters. We also have ranking and leaderboards to promote the most active projects, influencers, content creators… on our platform. Our aim is not to create a game, but make investing and marketing an intriguing game.
