FamilyPoints has also announced the appointment of Shaoming Yang as its chief business development officer, hoping to benefit from the seasoned capabilities of the former Alibaba senior manager, also recognized for his role in founding China’s first e-commerce website focused on providing for parents.
Yang will be leading Babystep and FamilyPoints e-commerce development, in addition to forming strategic partnerships, with the ultimate goal of helping parents to minimize the costs of childcare products expenditure. His motivation derives from his own personal situation.
Yang described his motivation for joining this project:
“My little boy is being raised in Shenzhen. Compare with the kindergarten system in Singapore, I am worried which kindergarten to send him to as most are privately run and there is no proper accreditation in place. A lot of people need connections just to get in a good school. With FamilyPoints, parents can properly review kindergartens and share genuine feedback with fellow parents. If this can solve my problem, it can also help others.”
While other similar platforms are available, FamilyPoints will be the first to be based on blockchain. This is expected to bring about several innovative improvements, such as more secure transactions, with a transparent channel for reviews on services and products. The platform will also integrate a rewards system and a referral program to build user loyalty.
FamilyPoints intends to create a blockchain-based ledger that will serve as a yardstick against which the quality of products and services will be measured. Thanks to the immutability of ratings and reviews, the ledger will create a natural system of trust within the parenting ecosystem, one that is cross-industry and scalable for the establishment of trust on any system.
This will set a higher standard for manufacturers and service providers to attain, ensuring that consumers across the globe are better protected against misinformation in the industry, which is becoming increasingly problematic in the modern context of widespread information.
FamilyPoints Crowdfunding
In order to raise the funds necessary to develop, market and expand the platform, FamilyPoints will be hosting a token generation event to issue its native FamilyPoints tokens (FPT) to potential backers. FPT are ERC20-based tokens issued on the Ethereum protocol, which will function as app tokens used to access the FamilyPoints platform through subscription fees.
Potential users of this platform will include:
