================================================ Status: Proposed Author(s): Forefront DAO, 1kx, Carlos Gomes Created: 11/08/2021

Purpose

To provide the industry with an investment product providing passive exposure to the social token sector.

Objective

The FF Social Token Index is a digital asset designed to track tokens’ performance within the social token industry. It aims to incorporate projects and communities that have significant usage and show a commitment to ongoing maintenance and development.

Below is a snapshot of the index we have been tracking the past 6 months.

Motivation

“My view, as I’ve stated many times, is that social/community tokens are going to be one of the biggest changes to global business models in history.” ~ Raoul Paul

In 2021, the total market cap of key social tokens surpassed $580m, a ~615% growth from 2020. The amount of addresses holding social tokens grew by ~200% from 6000 to 19,000. This year alone Coinvise has helped more than 280 communities and creators launch a social token.

Social Tokens have the potential to become the next ‘big-thing’ in crypto, yet there will be thousands of them. Investors of all sorts will need a curated list, and Forefront is best positioned to provide that service. Over the past few months we have been inundated with requests to provide an investment vehicle.

The FF Social Token Index is our response to that demand, offering investors with a professional product providing exposure to the social token sector. It gives them passive access to a vehicle which captures value-weighted upside from the most promising social token communities and projects.
