What is Green Funding Coin

GFC is the key currency used to invest and pay out on GFP. When coin holders use GFP, they send GFC to the entity they wish to invest in. The entity will return the yield of rate to investors in GFC. The investors can take the return with them or reinvest in other entities. GFC is designed to have a low volatility because the price of GFC is fixed from pre-sale period until listing on exchanges to avoid a crash right after listing due to high sell pressure. Thanks to its design and the above eco-system, investors will enjoy an increase of the value of GFC steadily and sustainably as well as investment itself.

GFC Project, an investment platform that makes the flow of funds transparent

Fintech and the blockchain are known as the fourth industrial revolution, continuing on from steam power, electricity, petroleum, computers and the internet. As part of this revolution, cryptocurrencies have undergone major market growth over the past several years, with not just Bitcoin, but countless altcoins continuing to be born, developed, and diversified since 2015. It is in this landscape that Green Funding Coin (GFC), a cutting-edge cryptocurrency utilizing smart contract technology, was born.

ESG investment is a worldwide movement dedicating to investing in making the world a better place. Though investment of course seeks profit, companies with a noblesse oblige mentality of “if we’re going to increase profits, we should do it by making a positive contribution to people, the environment, and society” are already operating with a market cap of over ¥1,500 trillion in Europe, and over ¥800 trillion in the USA.

The main targets of ESG investment can be broadly divided into the following two categories.

• 1. Projects to maintain and improve the earth's environment, such as renewable energy - related technology and initiatives, technology and initiatives to restore forests and bodies of water, technology and initiatives to reduce CO2.
• 2. Projects that conduct their trade fairly, treating workers humanely and operating with regard for human rights.

As mentioned earlier, these forms of ESG investment, though focused in Europe and America, have spread worldwide, throughout Asia, the Middle East, and Africa, and as of 2017 have a market cap of over $25 trillion, with a rate of growth of over 20% per year.

However, even within this form of investment that seeks to improve the world, there is a problem.

The problem is the number of intermediaries in the investment process, complicating the flow of funds and making it difficult to ensure that all investment capital is actually going to good causes. In some cases, over 50% of investment can end up flowing to middlemen such as fund managers, sellers, project managers, etc., with complex fundraising and work schemes making the actual flow of funding difficult to see. There have been cases in which, given 10,000 dollars invested into making the world a better place, only 1,000 actually ends up being used for that purpose, with the remaining 9,000 being used on fund manager and seller's fees and the associated costs of project managers.

Our mission is to make use of the transparency and fairness of the blockchain to solve these problems, making the flow of investment intended to improve the world more transparent. We would like to create a world where, for example, given 10,000 dollars of investment, it is possible to see that 4,000 dollars was actually used for micro hydroelectric power in the Andes mountains, while 6,000 dollars was actually used for building a hospital in southeast Asia. This is the world that Green Funding Platforms seeks to build. By creating a world in which ESG investment can, through the blockchain, be conducted transparently and securely, Green Funding Platforms is promoting the ESG investment, which has already become a major trend.

Executive summary

We aim to conduct ESG investment protection that is more visible to the investor, assisting in making the business environment operate in a healthier, more transparent manner. Our business activities to that end can be broadly divided into two initiatives.

The Green Funding Platform (GFP), is an investment platform through which investors can invest into environmental technology and CO2 reduction initiatives, as well as ventures and projects that operate with regard for human rights. The GFP's operating body, Green Funding Platforms Co., Ltd., maintains a list of inspected and selected technologies, ventures and projects, from which investors can select their preferred target for investment online.

As all information regarding investment and the purpose and results of that investment is based on the GFC cryptocurrency, which is built on the blockchain, the flow of funds is guaranteed to be completely traceable and transparent. Furthermore, the entire history of flow of funds is managed via Distributed Ledger Technology, making manipulation almost impossible and ensuring proper use.

GFC (Green Funding Coin) is the key currency used to invest and pay out on the GFP. As a cryptocurrency built using the blockchain, it can be transferred instantaneously and for a low cost without regard for borders and bank accounts, and with its entire worldwide transaction history traceable using Distributed Ledger Technology. Utilizing the transparency and fairness of the blockchain, GFP can make the flow of investment intended to improve the world more transparent, creating an environment in which ESG investment can flourish.

We hope you will look forward to our Green Funding Platform and its key currency, Green Funding Coin, which seek to enrich humanity and the world.
