Vegans around the world share much more than just diet restrictions, they share a firm ideology and set of values that guide them in their day-to-day lives. This ideology is based on the belief that each and every one of us can make a difference.

The vegan community is made up of more than 300 million people around the world.
Veganism transcends gender, religion, age and political beliefs. Many members of this
community share a similar point of view, a need for change and most importantly, a
strong desire to take action.

Vegan Nation is the first decentralized community and concurrency for vegans.

A designated token used by the members of a VeganNation will bring the community
together and empower its members and service providers as they work together for a
common goal. The VeganCoin will bring the transparency vegans demand, assuring
consumers that their money doesn’t eventually end up in the hands of business owners
that do not meet the nation’s cruelty-free standards.

VCN coin is an ERC20 coin based on the Etherium blockchain. 

All payments and e-commerce on the platform will be done through VCN.

Operations will start with VCN incentives, given to the main groups who
will be the building blocks of our new nation.

Hosts: each host can receive VCN at every meal as a percentage of
the meal value. 

Guests: a guest who attends a shared meal can receive a
percentage of the value of their meal back in cash.

Content Contributors: our content platform will be a hub for
everything vegan. In order to promote quality materials, writers,
bloggers and other content contributors who meet the community’s
high standards will be rewarded according to different algorithms
that calculate their contribution.

Social Points
Building the VeganNation will be a quest that begins with individuals who are ready for change. Those who recognize the potential and put their time and efforts into creating the strong base we need for the global community to form will be rewarded with social points which will accumulate and be displayed in the VeganNation Passport. The more
points collected, the higher the members will rank. Community members offering meals, participating as guests, receiving good feedback from hosts or guests, recommending good restaurants or important events and writing and sharing their opinions will gain points and recognition for their contributions. High rankings will give members privileges, greater exposure on the platforms and more. As our ecosystem grows and develops, those privileges will become increasingly significant, making an investment of time and efforts worthwhile as soon as someone enters
the community.

Incentives will be calculated automatically by the VeganNation algorithm, making the
process fair and unbiased. The algorithm will take a number of different variables into
consideration, giving all members a chance to be as engaged as they want.

Food safety and regulation issues may arise in different markets. 

Together with immense potential for growth and empowerment, this model brings with it different challenges, mostly regarding fraud. Like many other online platforms, anonymity might sometimes result in people trying to manipulate the system for their own advantage. Designated algorithms will look for patterns and anomalies, verifying the contribution and identity of members. As the nation has to be built upon mutual trust, peopleabusing it will be removed from the community.

Our meal-sharing and content platforms are already in development and
will soon be ready for use.

Already a large base of vegan businesses pledging to support Vegan ANtion and accepting VCN as payment.
