SP8DE - ICO LIVE!!!
SP8DE
THE GAME OF CHANCE. CHANGED.
Introduction
By no means are we here to judge. Instead, we are here to change. We do not say that old ways are bad, but can prove that new ones are better. We hold faith in the decentralized future and appreciate the charm of gambling.
We soon realized that there is only a fragile wall of glass between the old centralized gambling and the future
global distributed casino. This is it, a simple yet captivating idea. The future is here: we can run a zero-house
edge decentralized casino with close-to-zero transaction fees and provably fair random numbers feeding
entropy into a myriad of Smart-Contract-based open source casino applications that can be developed by
anyone who has a worthy idea by means of state-of-the art application-specific as well general-purpose
programming languages. “We can” was the silent voice of the idea. Now it is the marching echo of “we do”.
As it frequently happens, technological progress made a massive leap forward that went unnoticed by the
majority of human kind: people still prefer the traditional narrow-minded and boring online casinos that set
draconian house edges and cannot be proven fair. Once again, no one has the right to judge: it is just an
existential business need, produced by a dilapidated business model and an inch of greed.
Worse than this, however, is that even the enlightened ones, those chosen to witness the dawn of the distributed
world have noticed a perfect fit between distributed consensus protocols and gambling applications, have
synthesized them and… nothing. Some of these projects got infamous due to money laundering accusations,
some have spoiled the beauty of the idea by running centralized online casinos and simply allowing for
cryptocurrency deposits, others got their moments of fame during TGAs, today, however, few can recall even
the names of these projects. Of course, there are some notable exceptions to this rule, but while succeeding
locally all these projects have failed to create awareness. None of them has broadcasted the essential message:
“There is no glass wall; the future of gambling is now; we are better in every single quantifiable aspect; if
quantifiable is not enough, we also have the powerful idea of the distributed future, while those who are stuck
in the past have only a couple of servers and an unaudited poker protocol”.
We will do what no one has done before. Sp8de is a blockchain-based platform for developing distributed
gambling applications. As a platform for gambling applications with self-respect, we are equipped with the
protocol for generating fresh unbiased public randomness. As a team with some aspirations we have it provably
fair and completely decentralized. We feel that it is important to be true to the spirit of the venture we embark
upon: if blockchain is the universal and undisputed source of truth then it should also be the broadcast channel
for randomness. We think that single points of failure should be perceived by anyone as just a relic of the past.
This feature, while setting us aside most starkly, is only a part of what we have to offer in terms of technological
stack. In what follows we will dive deeper into the revolution we all are a part of and will explain in detail the best
iGaming protocol the world has ever seen.
Sp8de is a protocol for blockchain-based platform with multiple features that are essential for the growing blockchain gambling industry and whose solid implementation is lacking in any of the currently existing projects in this space.
Token Utiliti
- Software license ➤ Getting access to the universe of applications just requires you to own the native token of our system, SPX.
- Gaming Chip ➤ Betting within Sp8de ecosystem is done only using SPX. By owning SPX, you share a part in protocol’s success.
- Royalties ➤ SPX is used to reward the developers fairly on the protocol level.
- The Search Engine of Gaming ➤ Spade is a platform for developing decentralized casino applications.
- White Noise Powered Fairness ➤ Voting mechanism is implemented on the protocol level: the rating of an application reflects the true consensus of the stakeholders and is immutable.
- Inspired to Create ➤ Spade is decentralized marketplace for gaming with no frictions and no barriers to entry.
- Legally Complient ➤ Spade is intended to be fully compliant with all the required regulations.
- Decentralized 3.0 ➤ The backbone of Sp8de, the Cardano blockchain is the first Proof-Of-Stake protocol without security compromises.
- Scalable and Efficient ➤ Tens of thousands of transactions per second: no user experience constraints.
- Sp8de Smart Contracts ➤ Smart-Contracts scripting language that was specifically designed for this.
Token Distribution
Sale
The entire token distribution will be 8,888,888,888 of which 3,655,555,558.4 (41.125%) will be in the form of
token sale and 3,455,555,552 (38.875%) will be given as a jackpot to those who have participated in the “token
sale” rounds. The remainder of the tokens 1,777,777,778 (20%) will be vested with the team for the purposes
of marketing, advisory, and further development of the project (see the Token Proceeds Utilization section for
further details on the use of the proceeds from the token distribution). There is a one year vesting period that
applies to these tokens. From Table 2 it becomes clear that the SPX tokens received per ETH are decreasing
after each sale while the tokens distributed are increasing following the Pre-Sale stage.
The token sale will take place in four rounds and the amounts in each round are as follows:
Jackpots
Everyone who participated in the token sale will be eligible to receive tokens during the jackpots.
The jackpot distribution schedule:
The jackpot distribution schedule:
The token distribution begins on Monday, January 08, 2018 and ends on Sunday, March 11, 2018 and is scheduled as in the manner illustrated in Table 4 below. The Pre-Sale lasts for 24 days while each Sale phase will be seven days followed by a Jackpot that is distributed entirely within a single day after every Sale. A graphical illustration of the entire SPX distribution can be seen in Figure 2 below.
Tokens Distribution
There are 8,888,888,888 SPX tokens to ever be supplied. Initially, during the ICO, SPX will be issued on the Ethereum blockchain as ERC20 tokens. More detailed information can be found in the whitepaper and the SPX ICO description. The token sale is organized in 9 phases: one pre-sale and four token sales that are each followed by a jackpot round.
Earlier participation allows for participation in more jackpot rounds. For example, taking part in the Pre-Sale and the first Sale gives access to all four jackpots. However, participation in, let’s say the third Sale will grant access only to Jackpots three and four.
As shown before the price of one SPX coin increases with every sale round. The number of tokens sold and jackpotted is larger every subsequent round for the exception of the pre-sale. Every jackpot is played among all of the existing token holders.
Please, make sure to understand the mechanics of the Spade ICO process prior to taking part in it. Do not rely solely on the graph and be sure to understand the meaning of all the components of it and especially the highlighted segments of the jackpot bars.
Unpurchased Tokens Allocation
There is a possibility that some part of every token Sale will remain unpurchased. As illustrated in the table below the majority of the tokens that remain unsold will be automatically distributed among the Jackpots, increasing the number of tokens to be received by the participants in every Sale. If any tokens are allocated to the Sp8de Foundation they will be used for further development and promotion of the project.
Token Proceeds Utilization
The proceeds of the token sales as well as the tokens that remain in possession of the team will be used to promote and develop the project as outlined in the Road Map section of this paper. In the figure below, we show how the proceeds will be utilized. As we have shown earlier Sp8de is development intense, therefore we allocate the majority of the proceeds to development and operations as we believe that proper management and highly skilled developers are in the core of the success of this project. Furthermore, when needed the tokens allocated to the Sp8de Foundation and the team might be used for further promotion and as part of an incentives scheme.
Crowdsale Proceeds Management
The funds raised during the Pre-Sale and the ICO will be held in the following cryptocurrencies and in the following proportions at the time of the conclusion of the ICO (March 11, 2018):

If any tokens are allocated to the Sp8de Foundation they will be used for further development and promotion of the project.
For example, if 10,000,000 SPX has not been purchased during the Pre-Sale phase then 3,000,000 SPX will be allocated to the Sp8de Foundation, another 3,000,000 SPX will be attributed towards Jackpot phase I; 2,000,000 SPX for Jackpot phase II; and the last 2,000,000 SPX for Jackpot phase III. These attributions will be made in equal amounts towards every of the jackpots within each of the Jackpot phases – i.e. during Jackpot I all of the jackpots will be increased by 300,000 SPX resulting in 29,188,888.80 SPX per jackpot. The same logic applies to the rest of the Jackpots and all unsold tokens
The proceeds of the token sales as well as the tokens that remain in possession of the team will be used to promote and develop the project as outlined in the Road Map section of this paper.

at the discretion of the team and these weights may not necessarily hold during the later stages of the Sp8de
development.
