Matchpool:Social Network Based On Incentive Driven The Ethereum Blockchain
Matchpool is a platform that creates human connections.
It is a platform for matchmakers by allowing anyone to create their own community ‘pool’ for free and invite their members to their pool. End users of our platform will be able to find connections on the app by joining the pools that best cater to their needs. As the cryptocurrency space grows in popularity, one will find a number of projects that are aiming to push cryptocurrencies to the next level. Like many others in the crypto-space, a project that I believe perfectly captures the potential of cryptocurrencies. It is with great excitement that I introduce to you Matchpool, the first Ethereum based social network.
Matchmaking
We are building the first platform for mainstream matchmaking powered by a cryptographic token economy. Tokens (Guppies) can be purchased or sold with real money. Matchpool’s trusted algorithm rewards users automatically across the platform.
Rules & Rewards
Anyone can open and manage their own ‘pool’ and become a community / pool owner. A pool owner can set their own ‘pool rules’ and terms. Pool owners are rewarded when they create matches inside of their pool.
Use Cases
Dating, Membership Clubs, Leisure / Lifestyle, Businesses, Recruitment, Education, Health
Matchpool enables its users to create a group, or ‘Matchmaking Pool’. The owner of these pools, also known as ‘Poolmakers’, have the opportunity to earn rewards for matching members within their pool. As well as creating a Matchmaking Pool, users can also be members of pools themselves. A user can get involved in any pool that they so desire, this allows them to find a person or service that they may require.
Mission
To make the world more synchronistic and connected within communities by creating a fair, incentivised based community platform that will enable anyone to open their own community inside the network. An internal reward mechanism will help facilitate connections in a positive way.
PoolMakers
As a Poolmaker, you have a lot of options regarding how you run your pool, you can:
• Set entrance rules
• Configure your revenue streams
• Configure settings for pool members Matchpool also incorporates a reputation system into the platform. This enables a user to make an informed decision as to which pool to get involved with, based on the reputation of the Poolmaker. As a Poolmaker, as your reputation as a matchmaker increases, the temperature of your pool will also gradually rise. Thus, the higher your temperature, the more reputable you appear before your fellow users. Tokens
Matchpool utilises the Guppy (GUP) token to facilitate the internal reward mechanism. Any user interested in creating their own pool must first place a GUP deposit, this will be returned upon the closing down of a pool. More importantly, Poolmakers can earn GUP by successfully matching pool members, or by having an entrance fee or subscription fee to their pool.
What’s gup?
Matchpool is a decentralized matchmaking protocol which uses group dynamics to help participants match with each other. It can also be used as a more generic platform for any kind of paid membership community which can clearly define two sides of an interaction or market. This paper presents the elements of the platform: the Ethereum smart contracts which handle the trust-sensitive ownership and reward structures, as well as the core game logic which makes it work. Finally we lay out a two year roadmap for launching and scaling the network, including a detailed specification of the Guppy token (GUP), which will play an integral role in its development.
Why should we join the Guppy Alliance?
Matchpool will guide the companies who decide to join the alliance through the process of integrating cryptocurrencies into their products easily, securely, and free of charge. You have nothing to lose, only new customers to gain.
Matchpool is enabling a new economy on Ethereum Blockchain, we call it: The Matchmaking Economy.

The cryptocurrency space is still very much in its nascent years, it is only with truly innovative projects that this space will be able to revolutionise the way we live in the outer world, and a part of me believes that Matchpool really is such a project.
