Givers ($GIV) Whitepaper
1 / Introduction
1.1 Overview of GIVERS
GIVERS ($GIV) is an innovative cryptocurrency that enables people around the world to make donations easily and securely. Built on the SOL blockchain, GIVERS aims to improve the transparency and efficiency of the donation process. By using $GIV, donors can be confident that their donations will reach the intended organizations.
1.2 The Need for a Donation Platform
Currently, many donation platforms exist, but they may lack transparency in the management and distribution of funds. Donors find it difficult to verify whether their donations are being used appropriately, and there is also a risk of embezzlement. To solve these problems, a highly transparent donation platform utilizing blockchain technology is needed.
1.3 Leveraging Blockchain Technology
GIVERS is built on the SOL blockchain. By leveraging blockchain technology, $GIV ensures transparency and traceability in the donation process. Donors can verify how their donations are being used on the blockchain, preventing embezzlement and misuse of funds.
GIVERS aims to revolutionize the donation process and contribute to the development of a donation culture. By providing a highly transparent donation platform utilizing blockchain technology, $GIV creates an environment where more people can participate in donations with confidence. $GIV acts as a bridge connecting donors and beneficiaries, enabling people worldwide to contribute to building a better society.
2 / Features of GIVERS
2.1 Token Specifications
GIVERS is a cryptocurrency issued on the SOL blockchain. The token name is GIVERS, and the symbol is $GIV. The SOL blockchain was chosen to automate the donation process and ensure transparency.
2.2 Token Issuance
The total supply of $GIV is 10 billion tokens. There will be only an initial issuance, with no additional issuance. The issuance schedule is currently under consideration, but a token presale on PinkSale and listing on DEX are planned.
2.3 Token Distribution
The distribution of $GIV tokens is as follows:
/PinkSale(Presale) release: 20.00%(2,000,000,000 GIV)
/Liquidity release: 10.20%(1,020,000,000 GIV)
/Air drop: 1.00%(100,000,000 GIV)
/Team allocation: 15.00% (1,500,000,000 GIVE , 1-year lockup)
/Partnerships: 12.00%(1,200,000,000 GIV)
/Ecosystem maintenance: 25.00%(2,500,000,000 GIV)
/Marketing & Development: 10.80%(1,080,000,000 GIV)
/Advisory: 6.00%(600,000,000 GIV)
This distribution aims to manage the circulation of $GIV appropriately and adjust liquidity to ensure the long-term development of the project.
2.4 Transaction Fees
There are no fees for $GIV transactions. Buyers only need to cover the SOL gas fees. This aims to make the token user-friendly.
2.5 Token Burns
GIVERS plans to burn 10-15% of the tokens within 3 months of issuance. Thereafter, token burns will be conducted periodically using the revenue from the donation platform to increase the token's value.
2.6 Lockup
The tokens allocated to the team will be fully locked up for 1 year from issuance. This demonstrates the team's commitment and enhances the project's credibility.
2.7 Utility
1) Awarding Titles and NFTs Based on Donation Amounts
Based on the donation amount, titles such as "Platinum Supporter," "Gold Supporter," "Silver Supporter," and "Bronze Supporter" will be granted.
2) Staking Rewards
By staking (locking up) tokens, you may be able to earn rewards in some cases. This allows token holders to generate passive income (planned to be implemented within this year).
3) Acquiring Governance Rights
By holding tokens, you can gain the right to participate in the decision-making process of the project. Voting rights are granted based on the amount of tokens held, allowing you to influence the direction of the project (planned to be implemented within this year).
4) Exclusive Online Community for Top Donors
An online community exclusively for top donors will be established, providing them with the latest information about the recipient organizations and a space for interaction with other top donors. Through this community, networking among top donors will be facilitated, strengthening the overall unity of the $GIVERS community.
5) Best GIVERS Award
An annual awards ceremony will be held, inviting top donors, and the event will be publicized in the media. This will not only widely acknowledge the accomplishments of the top donors but also increase the recognition of the $GIVERS platform.
6) Limited-Edition NFT and Stylish Shield
A specially designed limited-edition NFT and a stylish shield honoring the donor's contributions will be presented, signifying their special status within the $GIVERS community.

3.2 Donation Flow
Donors select the recipient organization on the GIVERS platform and specify the donation amount. The funds are automatically transferred to the beneficiary organization. 5-8% of the donation will be deducted as an operational fee, of which approximately 1-2% is used for token burning at present. However, please note that these percentages may be subject to change in the future based on various factors and the project's evolving needs. The token burning process is designed to help increase the token's value over time, but the exact impact may vary depending on market conditions and other variables. As the project progresses, the operational fee and token burning percentages might be adjusted to ensure the long-term sustainability and effectiveness of the ecosystem.
