What is the current status of development? Do you have a working product?

We already have the Monarch mobile App as the Minimum Viable Product (MVP), which is freely available on the Apple Store (for iOS), on the Google Play Store (for Android) and here (for desktop). Download Here

Initially, the Monarch App will function as a digital wallet, where users will be able to store their Bitcoin, Ethereum and all ERC-20 token (NEP-5 tokens support coming soon). It will also keep track of all user’s assets and allow users to send and receive payments. Also see #22.

Do you have a marketing plan?
Monarch will launch into action from day one, building strategic partnerships with merchants and service providers to increase the adoption of the Monarch platform. One of Monarch’s founders, Sneh Bhatt, is also the founder of Cryptosomniac, an ICO marketing agency that has worked with over 70 ICOs over the past two years. Monarch’s marketing approach has five major points:

Using social media to engage the community
One of the largest bounty rewards programs for maximum community engagement
ICO Listing and Review websites for maximum exposure
PR and YouTube Influencer Outreach within the crypto community
Strategic advertisements (Social media, banner ads, programmatic, etc.)

Why is Monarch using a Two-Token Sale?
Once a week, 50% of all transaction fees collected from Consumer to Merchant Transactions from the Monarch Hot Wallet will be used to buy back Monarch Utility Tokens (MT), which will be distributed amongst all holders of Monarch Security Tokens (MTS).

The Monarch Dividend Structure will promote usage and growth inside the ecosystem. Transacting Monarch Utility Tokens (MT) inside the Hot Wallet infrastructure will give users a 50% discount on transaction fees (when used with merchants) and completely free (when transacted peer-to-peer).

Example: If 1000 BTC was transacted in the Monarch Hot Wallet ecosystem in the last week at a fee of 2%, then there will be 20 BTC in total transaction fees. 50% of the total transactions of 20 BTC will be distributed among MTS Holders. The 10 Bitcoin collected from the transactions fees will be used to buy Monarch Utility Tokens in the Monarch Exchange and then distributed among MTS Holders. Additionally, 10% of the 20 BTC collected as transaction fees will be used to buy silver as an asset backing behind the Monarch Security Token. This leaves 40% of the transactions fees to promote development for Monarch.

Why should I choose Monarch over other payment platforms?

Our team is developing an all-inclusive platform that will have many competitive advantages over other crypto payment platforms. See the chart below:

What blockchain is Monarch using?
For the TGE and initial phases of our platform, we will use Ethereum due to it’s existing libraries and fungibility. We will simultaneously develop our own blockchain that we will disclose in our forthcoming yellow paper.

What have you done so far?

We have hired the premiere blockchain company, Splash Factory to build our platform. We have also hired Bx3 to help us comply with the evolving legal and tax compliance landscape that surrounds blockchain focused businesses. We have brought on some of the most experienced, respected and well known partners and advisors in the cryptoworld. We have spent over 15,000 man hours developing compliance, structure and a functioning MVP that brings real world value to anyone who downloads and uses it. We have the brightest minds in the space working and consulting to assure investors we aren’t full of hype. We are going to deliver and be the worlds one stop crypto shop.

Monarch has been in development since late 2017, with feasibility and market studies breaking ground on what the legal and market requirements are need to implement the Monarch application. Since then, over 15,000 hours of labor have been put into the Monarch infrastructure, and to build out the corporate and legal structure.  The MVP will be released before the token sale.

Monarch currently has a staff of 5 full-time decentralized application and blockchain developers along with 6 designers and quality assurance leads that are all versed experts in the space. This all leads to a current target of about 35,000 man hours in-order to completely develop, design, audit, test, and garner feedback for the Monarch platform. It doesn’t stop there, once the framework of the Monarch Ecosystem is built, the staff will transition into upgrading the platform and integrating it with various merchant needs.

Monarch also has built out a full staff of user and investor relations management staff.  6 full-time community managers are assigned to handle all user and investor inquiries and technical support queries across all social media platforms. They community managers also help with the go-to market strategy of merchant and user acquisition in order to make Monarch a leading payment and investor exchange gateway. As the platform grows more and more community management experts will be added to the team to ensure user satisfaction.

This leads us to our final piece of the puzzle, legal and regulatory compliance. Monarch utilizes leading securities and tax advisors to ensure we comply with applicable securities, tax, and banking laws. Monarch also utilizes multiple intellectual property and patent lawyers to ensure our patent pending technology of decentralized recurring payment is protected. As a “tech first” company Monarch puts a heavy emphasis and research and development of blockchain technologies. As the blockchain space evolves and new standardized practices are formed, Monarch will lead the charge when it comes to compliance and new technological advancement.

Monarch Token

Why is Monarch using a Two-Token Sale?

Monarch and its users all benefit from having a two-token system, which is made of Monarch Security Tokens (MTS) and Monarch Utility Tokens (MT).

MTS tokens will be backed by silver assets (10% of Token Sale funds will be allocated to backing the security with physical silver assets). By holding MTS tokens, users will receive weekly dividends in the form of MT tokens. Moreover, 10% of all transaction fee revenues will be allocated to increasing the amount of silver backing until each token is backed by 1 oz. of silver – giving MTS tokens a price floor and added stability.

However, we are also issuing a third type of token called Monarch Promo Token, which was created to encourage user adoption before the Token Sale is completed. Anyone using the platform will be eligible to earn Monarch Promo Tokens by using the App or by raising awareness. Monarch Promo Tokens will be swapped in a 1-to-1 ratio for Monarch Utility Tokens (MT) post-TGE.

MT tokens will be used within the Monarch App and Exchange. Peer-to-peer MT tokens transactions will be 100% free. In addition, users will earn “cash back” rewards for using MT tokens to purchase goods and services. Retailers who use Monarch Payment products (such as our eCommerce Plugins for WordPress or Shopify) will pay less fees and keep more money per transaction.

What is the total supply of Monarch tokens?

The total supply will be fixed at 500 million Monarch Security Tokens and 1 billion Monarch Utility Tokens (500 million MTS + 1 billion MT).

I heard that Monarch has a Dividend Structure. How does it work?

This leaves 40% of the transactions fees to promote development for Monarch.

Yes, all team members have committed to a 2 year vesting schedule. The team will receive ¼ of their token allocation 6 months after the TGE.

Is there 2-Factor Authentication for the Wallet?

We do not have 2 step authentication currently, however, we have plans to add in the next month or so.

My Wallet Amounts are stuck and don’t update.

You should be able to update your Wallet amounts shown by swiping Down on the Wallet Page.  If this doesn’t work, make sure you have the most updated Wallet App, you can always download our most recent Wallet here: https://monarchtoken.io/#download.  

If this still does not resolve the issue, then you will need to Re-Link your Wallet.  To do this you go to the Profile tab in App, click “Un-Link This Wallet” (make sure you have your 12-word seed written down to re-link the wallet before you un-link your wallet.)  Once Un-Linked, you will then Link Your Wallet. Add your 12 Seed words and it should re-link your wallets and update the amount shown.

I can’t send my ERC-20 tokens.

To help hopefully alleviate these issues, first, when sending an ERC20 token, you cannot send or withdraw from your account if you don’t add Ethereum to your wallet. This is because all ERC-20 tokens require ETH to send. We assume people understand this and never made a pop up for that issue in the app. You can check https://etherscan.io/ to ensure your funds are still in your wallet. Monarch Blockchain Corp. never retains any user info or private keys and does not have access to user funds. Your funds are your own!

Crypto APR % Interest Earning

How Does It Work?

You have to apply for KYC with our Partner, Celsius. You can apply here.

Once approved, You will be able to deposit Supported Cryptocurrencies Into your Celsius Wallet and Earn the Interest Rates Shown in-app for the various cryptos. You will be paid the APR % earned on a weekly basis. It will be deposited directly into your Celsius Wallet you have the Cryptocurrency earning interest with.
