1. INTRODUCTION
Economic growth and urbanization have brought us substantial positive
development in global welfare. The areas of education and health are
impressive examples of the case of affairs. However, our production and
consumption have a huge negative impact on the availability of resources,
our climate, and the environment in general. Energy efficiency, low
carbonization of the atmosphere, and environmental friendly economic
growth are but a utopian fiction. Resource scarcity and the environmental
degradation in turn lead to social problems in and between societies.
According to the FAO, 1 in 7 people in the world are mal and/or
undernourished. More than half of the global population live in
substandard urban settlements. In the aftermath of the global economic
crisis new solutions are not a desirable. They are a necessity.

2. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The TPN Project is a Decentralized Autonomous Community project. Our
mission is to use blockchain technology and cryptocurrency to build up
our own eco system at which the digital and physical world intersect. We
aim to build applications for the management of assets, resources and
information more efficiently. TROPITOKEN is set to disrupt global markets
by introducing the world’s first Urban Blockchain Society. We will
combine the most innovative and sustainable housing concepts based on
renewable energy generators in a close to self-sufficient resource
management system.
5 WWW.TROPITOKEN.ORG
Our mixed concept envisions an urban city center, residential areas, and
mass transportation systems supplemented by designated nature reserves.
This solution is designed for maximum sustainability and scalability. Our
focus is not merely local but targets worldwide applicability.
Smart city features along with blockchain, smart contracts, and Big Data
analysis will secure the economy of our Decentralized Autonomous
Community.

2.1. CHALLENGES
THE CHANGING GLOBAL ECONOMY
The IMF has identified a general downward trend in GDP for
most of the globe between 2016 and 2017, as economic
uncertainty continues to intensify. Currency issues,
declining exportation and soft energy prices add to
volatility.
DEMOGRAPHIC SHIFT
Millennials (i.e. the demographic cohort of individuals aged
18-35) have overtaken the Baby Boomers (individuals aged
51-69) in number. Both continue to be real estate clients.
While the Baby Boomers retire at a rate of approximately
10,000 persons per day, the 90+ year old cohort has almost
tripled since 1980. The latter is expected to experience to
reach 7.6 million over the next 40 years, as the U.S. Census
Bureau reports. Older and younger citizens compete with
each other for housing, often in the same places. Within the
Millennial generation, an income breach can be detected.
The result is that elder representants of this group are
economically falling behind those who still live with their
parents.

3. OPPORTUNITIES OF AN
URBAN BLOCKCHAIN SOCIETY (UBS)
Blockchain as a technology and other ideas and concepts that emerged on
its base have paved the way for new, modern thinking among people
around the globe. We want to take this development to the next level,
constructing an Urban Blockchain Society (UBS). We envision the creation
of a network to share resources and goods upon. Blockchain technology
and smart contracts supply a firm technological and infrastructural basis
for a more efficient distribution of consumption resources.
The TPN token will be the cryptocurrency used to pay for dwellings, rent,
food, energy, transport, and services. Buildings will be tagged digitally
rather than having street addresses. Digital home signatures will enable the
network to automatically deduce utility bills, send mail, and resident data
can be collected and analyzed. Implementing data analysis on a
blockchain platform, both transparent and anonymous data analysis can be
ensured, depending on the degree of sensitivity of the data.
TPN will have its own data center with computing units to support the crypto
community and store private data transparently in a secure manner. We
will support popular blockchain projects like Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Dash.
Furthermore, we are promoting innovative and new alternative projects to
help build a decentralized future.
The location of our project will be made useful to the economy through
smart activities by the TPN project. As a result, the economy of any chosen
location will improve and be boosted by having a self-sustained and highly
digitalized system.

5. THE TPN TOKEN – BLOCKCHAIN TECHNOLOGY
AND SMART CONTRACTING
5.1. BLOCKCHAIN TECHNOLOGY
A Blockchain is an immutable, distributed ledger system. Public
blockchains, as opposed to permissioned blockchains, are furthermore
open, so that all parties involved have access to transaction data each time
the ledger is updated. Based on cryptographic principles, blockchain
provides a decentralized database for every transaction on the system. This
shared database is immutable and resistant to outages with its authenticity
being verified by the entire community.
10 WWW.TROPITOKEN.ORG
Blockchain technology will help industries to act more efficiently, reliably
and trustworthily. Blockchain is indeed the future of innovation.
Decentralized business is a ground-breaking development, but blockchain
technology cannot be reduced to its use as a digital payment system along,
like Bitcoin intended in the first place.
Just like on the Bitcoin protocol, block creation is the moment when
transactions take place. Once a transaction takes place inside a block, the
gossip protocol is deployed and the global blockchain’s state is changed.
Similar to Bitcoin, each node is free to choose the order of transactions
inside a block. The blocks then have to be authenticated through the
Proof-of-Work (PoW) consensus mechanism before they are stored on the
blockchain.
11 WWW.TROPITOKEN.ORG
The transparency of events along the transaction history of a blockchain
reduces the opportunity of fraud. The peer-to-peer nature of payments
improves financing in that payments are made faster and without passing
by the intermediary, which lowers costs as well. Through the transparent
payment history, smart contracts can check for the trigger events that
deploy the smart contract’s action such as sending good and the supplier of
the goods to receive payment.
Smart contracts can automatically carry out different events, rather then
merely checking for them. The self-execution of computer code under given
pre-programmed conditions is a major advantage and is not explored by
many in the blockchain space. It is furthermore safe from posterior altering,
which means that they enforce the agreed upon terms with the highest
possible vigor.
As a baseline for our crowd sale and voting functionality, we use the
zeppelin-solidity library, which is a well established and secured
developing framework for smart contracts. Since ZeppelinOS provides tools
manage upgradeable applications, we envision to continuously improve
our code. This measure permits bug fixes and upgrade our applications
according to the feedback from token holders.
The number of tokens sold in the ICO will be capped at 11 billion tokens.
All unsold tokens will be burnt (i.e. cease to exist). The influence of a token
holder depends on the number of tokens they possess.
12 WWW.TROPITOKEN.ORG
Users with at least 100,000 TPN will be able to start proposals. Each
proposal will cost 100 TPN and is accepted when 15% of the community
approve of the proposal.
We will develop this digital community and currency in order to support the
project and enable our decentralized cooperation over long distances.

6. DESIGN OF TPN LOCATIONS
The Experimental Prototype Community of Tomorrow (EPCOT) was an
unfinished concept developed by Walt Disney. Its purpose was to be a real
city that would ‘never cease to be a blueprint of the future’, designed to
stimulate the American industry to develop new ideas for urban living. The
city was planned to be a company town. The EPCOT idea was part of Walt
Disney’s original plan for the property he bought near Orlando, Florida.
After his death in 1966, the property became the Walt Disney World Resort.
The Resort was opened in 1971 with a theme park following it in 1982.
The Tropitoken is inspired by the EPCOT concept. The city was never build
due to Disney’s eventual death. We think that, in times of Automation, 3D
printing and blockchain technology, these plans should be revived and
taken a step further. Today, the technologies Disney envisioned exist.
Hence, we want to follow his vision, the plan for a radial city.
We want to move the city closer to the advanced technology hub it could be;
building on automation technology and blockchain. This way we want to
lead the way on how humanity can build itself a new future.
14 WWW.TROPITOKEN.ORG
Our housing concepts are designed to be extremely comfortable and
highly functional. They will be made from sustainable material without
depleting non-renewable resources. The accommodations will be built
within modular units created from modified shipping containers.
15 WWW.TROPITOKEN.ORG
6.4. TRANSPORTATION
Transportation will be completely autonomous and electrified. A network
of self-driving vehicles will ensure personal mobility. Other options are
personal rapid transit systems and air drones for individual goods
transportation. Mass transportations systems like monorail or hyperloop
will serve to the maximum mobility of inhabitants and guests. We envision
the use to be free of charge.
16 WWW.TROPITOKEN.ORG
7. THE TPN ECONOMY
The tokenization of our economic system provides us with unique
opportunity. Our economy will be covered by a tokenized system that
benefits from blockchain, smart contracts, and big data analysis.
Electricity will be ensured through small and sustainable solar and wind
energy collectors as well as through the use of energy saving technologies.
Supply peaks and emergency power will be guaranteed through a biogas
plant.
8. INTERNAL EXCHANGE
Tropitoken will provide users with an internal digital platform on which to
exchange tokens between different currencies. Members and guests alike
will be able to use Ethereum, Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies to
purchase TPN tokens.

18 WWW.TROPITOKEN.ORG
The Premium Presale Membership (PPM) is available exclusively during the
presale and requires a minimum purchase of 100,000 TPN. Availability
expires as soon as 100,000,000 tokens are sold.
If the minimum capital is not raised, all funds are returned back to
investors. Should the maximum capitalization be reached, we will
jump-start development and reduce execution time by around 25% in
order to scale up the project.
Every location creates real value for the project and the TPN token. Its use
is required in the ecosystem in order to stay and partake in social
engagement. Consequently, the demand for TPN will increase.
19 WWW.TROPITOKEN.ORG
13. PUBLIC EXCHANGES
TROPITOKEN will begin discussions with public exchanges before the
launch of the ICO. We want to ensure that tokens are liquid for token
holders and new token buyers. The goal is to have tokens to be tradable
starting in Autumn 2018 and hit the major exchanges as soon as possible.
We plan to enter the exchanges around three weeks after the closing of
the ICO.
