“…Such criminal activities are incentivized by the purely digital nature of crypto-currencies (that are not backed by any underlying real asset connected to the business performance of a company), which makes them more similar to utilities than securities and thus more susceptible to market speculations. Security tokens, on the other hand, are a more recent kind of crypto-currency that represent tokenized versions of traditional securities (such as stocks and bonds), which thus clearly define the obligatory relationship between the buyer and the issuing company (Barraza, 2019;Lacity et al, 2019;Liu & Wang, 2019;Matyushok et al, 2020). As such, security tokens are more easily regulated, with some jurisdictions treating them as traditional securities (e.g.…”

Initial Coin Offerings (ICOs), i.e. the initial offer of a crypto-token, represent an increasingly popular method to raise money. However, the determinants of ICOs' returns for investors are still overlooked. Following this cue, the empirical outcomes of our study based on crypto-tokens issued between 2017 and 2018 evidence the main determinants of ICOs' returns: first, crypto-tokens returns are positively associated to Ether's returns; second, ICO price is negatively associated to later price increases; third, crypto-tokens returns are lower when they are offered in presale; finally, the more a crypto-token price increases between the ICO and the listing-date on the secondary-market and the more its price rises in the following month. In so doing, we contribute to a better understanding of the ICO phenomenon and highlight which aspects may benefit fund raising, which are relevant for the establishment of new startups and more broadly for the economic development of a country.

This project integrates Web 3.0, web development, and mobile game development to create aplay-to-earn (P2E) mobile game with a web component. The objective of this project is to seamlesslycombine a mobile game with a website and a distinctive token ecosystem to provide players with anenjoyable experience. For the purposes of creating mobile games, websites, and smart contracts,respectively, the Unity Game Engine and the "Next.js' framework, Solidity, are employed. The projectmakes use of Web3 Modal, the MetaMask extension, Microsoft Azure PlayFab for player management,and Web3 Modal for a seamless interface with blockchain networks. The main outcomes of the projectinclude successful implementations like a mobile game with simple gameplay that players can quicklyunderstand and a website with an interface that will allow you to withdraw crypto tokens securely usingsmart contracts. By offering real benefits like personalized crypto tokens, the idea increases playerparticipation. The primary conclusion to be drawn from this project is that combining gaming withblockchain integration results in a unique and engaging experience for gamers. In conclusion, our studyshows that integrating several technologies to improve user experiences in the gaming and blockchain areasis both feasible and potentially rewarding.

“…A key differentiation to be made between blockchain-based and non-blockchain-based firms is the use of cryptocurrencies or crypto tokens. These tokens may impact operational, financing and strategic aspects of firm decision making (Rohr and Wright 2017;Chen 2018;Howell et al 2018;Liu and Wang 2019a). Entrepreneurship-based crypto tokens enable stakeholder coordination with network externalities in a single ecosystem (Li and Mann 2018;Bakos and Halaburda 2018;Sockin and Xiong 2020).…”

There is considerable hype about blockchain in almost every industry, including finance, with significant investments globally. We conduct a systematic review of 851 records and construct a final article sample of 183 for the sample period 2012 to 2020 to identify relevant factors for blockchain adoption in corporate governance. We conduct textual and empirical analysis to develop a decentralized autonomous governance framework and link traditional corporate governance theories to blockchain adoption. Furthermore, we explore present and future use cases and implications of blockchains in corporate governance. Using our systematic review and textual analysis, we further identify gaps and common trends between prior academic and industry literature. Moreover, for our empirical analysis, we compile a unique database of blockchain investments to forecast future investments. In addition, we explore blockchain potential in corporate governance during and post COVID-19. We find prior academic articles to mostly focus on regulation (49 studies) and Initial Coin Offerings (ICOs) (46 studies), while industry articles tend to concentrate on exchanges (10 studies) and cryptocurrencies (9 articles). A significant growth in literature is observed for 2017 and 2018. Finally, we provide behavioural, regulatory, ethical and managerial perspectives of blockchain adoption in corporate governance.
