Layer1 (LADZ) Litepaper v.1
Introducing the first tokenized content network...
The purpose of this document is to outline the vision and strategy of Layer1, LADZ, and the LADZ utility token. Social tokens are experimental in nature and you should ALWAYS do your own research before engaging in ANY speculative behavior. the layer1 team does not suggest you buy or sell any digital currencies. this is not financial advice
Who we are:
Layer1 is a content network and family of channels dedicated to highlighting the best products, platforms, individuals, and communities that exist in crypto today. Over the past year we’ve worked hard to create some of the most authentic content in blockchain, and in that time our statistics, reputation, team, and community have grown exponentially.
What we’ve built:
Amassed 150,000 views/listens across all channels on our network
Interviewed 75 of the strongest founders in crypto on the Layer1 Podcast
Established NFTLive, a content leader in the NFT industry
Launched Dimitry’s Desk, a price-action focused TA series
Brought Live Weekly News with Layer1Live
Worked w/ Roll to establish initial groundwork for the LADZ utility token
Partnered w/ Nifty Gateway to highlight artists on the NFTLive Artist Series
Expanded the Layer1 Team to 5 dedicated members
Amassed a group of 250 LADZ and organized multiple events and game nights
Where we’re going:
In the year since Layer1’s inception, the content network has outgrown our original concept. As an experiment, we decided to partner with Roll to launch the LADZ utility token in July. During the time since it’s launch, we have accomplished much and grown exponentially beyond our own expectations and that can be attributed to none other than our tribe, which we affectionately call LADZ.
Whether it’s engaging with content on YouTube, sharing the latest podcast interviews across social media, taking part in our community events, or just bringing some excellent insight to the LADZ City Discord server; we could not be where we are today without the backing of our tribe.
It’s with that in mind that we have decided to go ‘all in’ and take both Layer1, as a brand and content network, and our community of LADZ to the next level. Therefore we are excited to finally share our initial plans and expectations for the LADZ utility token.
Main goals:
Enhance content value capture for Layer1 and the LADZ Community
Increase Layer1 brand awareness, recognition, and trust
Expand market use cases for LADZ
Increase LADZ engagement, loyalty, and activity
Adding tangible assets to underpin valuation via LADZ Treasury Vault
Establish and retain sufficient liquidity for LADZ utility token
What is the LADZ utility token?
The vision of our social token is to facilitate the growth of what will become one of the best communities in the cryptocurrency industry.
Through a balance of rewarding engagement, empowering high-signal community members, and providing true ownership in a growing content network, LADZ supports our goal of building better tribes.
The LADZ tribe is filled with a wide array of amazing and unique crypto-enthusiasts, which themselves span multiple industries, and they deserve to get rewarded for making our content and tribe better.

LADZ Liquidity Mining Campaign
In order for social tokens to start trading on the secondary markets, they must establish sufficient initial liquidity. For that reason, we are planning to implement initial liquidity provider (LP) rewards.

Work with Layer1 Team
The LADZ Treasury Vault
In order to capture and showcase the history of the metaverse and broader NFT landscape, the Layer1 Team is establishing the LADZ Treasury Vault, a community-focused vault that will hold rare and valuable NFTs from the digital art, virtual real estate, gaming, and collectible sectors. In the future we hope to collaborate with the nonfungible.com team to audit the LADZ Treasury Vault for more efficient upkeep of all holdings.
In Conclusion
We believe that the social token economy is just getting started and the untapped value these instruments unlock for creator, consumer, and community alike has fundamentally changed their relationship forever.
We’re happy to be leading the charge alongside other innovators in the evolution of social tokens.
Our Vibe. Our Tribe.

The future is looking bright! #ladz
