What is DGCAMP ?

https://medium.com/@misskhan/what-is-dgcamp-2a6fae4cf699

 

DGCAMP is potentially one of the biggest real world applications for Blockchain. DGCAMP envisages a smart contract architecture replacing the manual processes involved in investment banking, in the issuance of corporate equity and debt securities — processes characterised by opacity and high fees.

(Read our preliminary paper (http://himalayalabs.com/Himalaya-Executive-Summary2.pdf))

DGCAMP aims to do away with opacity in capital markets. Decentralised Global Capital Markets Platform ( DGCAMP ) is a new-age architecture where investors of capital and seekers of capital can interact freely, trustlessly and with minimum friction. The platform can operate with and without intermediaries. DGCAMP — A definition: DGCAMP is a blockchain and smart-contract driven platform where issuers (public and private firms, governments, non-profit foundations) can access a broad class of primary market investors (both institutional and retail), complete a variety of automated transactions and processes (such as book building, auctions, syndications, dividend distributions) and can issue a broad array of digital assets to investors. Investors of every type, jurisdiction and financial status can use the platform to learn about investment opportunities across the globe, their regulatory aspects, risks and expected returns, to access due diligence reports, and to invest directly without having to go through intermediaries. A secondary market layer with buyers, sellers, arbitrageurs can easily complement this system. The system can first be envisaged as a single-country system and then extended to a multi-country global marketplace. Capital allocation will be made in a cryptographically secure, quick, efficient, trustless way.

Decentralised Capital Markets Platform for Digitally Represented Assets (DGCAMP)

Benefits of DGCAMP:

Disintermediation of Investment Banking by a Digital Asset Issuance Platform:

A Smart Contract Architecture can replace everything an investment bank does in securities issuance — book building, IPO pricing, algorithm-based allotment of digitised assets to various subscribers, accepting payments and issuing digital securities, custody of digitised assets Cost saving, for example:

Taking Away IPO fees of 7–10%

De-risking of issuance process :

Eliminating counter-party and settlement risksPost-issue management of investor base and performance reporting

Digital coupon and dividend distribution

Global Open Access Trust-less Platform for direct interaction between Investors and Capital-seekers

Global efficient capital flows between countries

Potential App Market Place for Asset Management Industry and intermediaries to build on our Core Platform

Reputation scoring of investors and issuers enabled over time

Potential platform for independent service providers to sell Research, Due Diligence, Legal and Regulatory Products

Decentralisation of Access to Capital!

Decentralisation of Innovation!

 

“As a professional provider of investment advisory services, including, for example, management of liquidity funds on stock exchanges, we are very interested in lowering the transaction fees as those direct expenses paid to different counterparties like DMA brokers, custody etc lowers the returns for our customers. So we are very interested in such an exchange that would give us the reasonable safety within the regulated scope and good fees to more bigger returns.” - Alexander Zitsev, Founder, Raison AI

"As if online book building/ trading was not enough, the Crypto Economy, with a much more vast array of possibilities is likely to overhaul the way in which primary and secondary capital markets operate. To pick just a couple of aspects that are 'ripe targets’ -  the current, less than optimum allocation and settlement protocols are suddenly looking almost archaic, highly inefficient and often described as bordering on being unfair."- Maneesh Malhotra, Capital Coin ICO Adviser, Senior Debt Capital Market Specialist, having worked with HSBC for almost 2 decades in India and South East Asia, opened new currency and geographical markets for a vast array of capital raising entities, while maintaining a deep interaction with regulatory bodies in different jurisdictions. He now works at a boutique Corporate Finance Advisory outfit in Singapore, covering Asia Pacific region.

DGCAMP serves as a substitute to the current manually-intensive, time-bound and costly processes involved in the issuance of real world securities for corporates, governments, and non-profits.
