TokenStars is the first celebrity management platform on the blockchain, providing advanced tools and incentives for deeper interaction between stars, fans, and advertisers.
Having successfully started with the ACE token sale for tennis ($4.9M+ raised as of the sale end date, ACE is listed on OKEx, a top-10 digital asset trading platform), TokenStars has enhanced its team with top-notch experts and stars to launch the TEAM token: Lothar Matthäus, Valery Karpin (football), Tommy Haas, Robin Söderling, Cedric Pioline, Anastasia Myskina (tennis), Nikita Kucherov (hockey), Alexander Anter (poker) and Rico Torres (Hollywood) are among the famous celebrities supporting TokenStars.
The first module of the TokenStars platform was launched in Dec. 2017, powering the Crypto Charity Auction to which many top stars donated their personal items.
TokenStars is the first celebrity management platform on the blockchain, providing advanced tools and incentives for deeper interaction between stars, fans, and advertisers. Having successfully started with the ACE token sale for tennis ($4.9M+ raised as of the sale end!), TokenStars has enhanced its team with top-notch experts and stars to launch the TEAM token: Lothar Matthäus, Valery Karpin (football), Tommy Haas, Robin Söderling, Cedric Pioline, Anastasia Myskina (tennis), Nikita Kucherov (hockey), Alexander Anter (poker) and Rico Torres (Hollywood) are among the famous celebrities supporting TokenStars. Designed as a toolkit, the TokenStars platform consists of 12 integrated modules grouped in 4 layers by function:
crowdfunding, enabling prospective talents to raise funds;
infrastructure, providing the community with tools for key activities (scouting, voting, betting);
fan community, allowing celebrities to grow their social capital and offering fans higher involvement;
advertising, delivering smart and transparent data as well as engaged audiences to brands for more efficient promotion campaigns.
As a utility token, TEAM will be used in most of the interaction activities powered by the TokenStars platform, including repayment of agency commissions from advertisers and supported talents, providing incentives to fans and external agents for finding promising talents (scouts) and for promoting celebrities (promoters), making betting bids, participating in the voting polls, getting access to exclusive offers from celebrities, and so on.
TokenStars develops its platform on the blockchain to make it transparent and verifiable, create a powerful global community, ensure lower money transfer costs and faster transactions with no need in a third party, as well as to eliminate middlemen in and bring more transparency to the celebrity management industry.
Based on a proven business model, TokenStars is lead by an experienced team with background at Groupon, Leo Burnett, Evernote, Rambler&Co and Mail.Ru Group. It is supported by blockchain advisors Tomoaki Sato (Starbase), Wulf Kaal (University of St. Thomas) and Edgar Kampers (Qoin). The first module of the TokenStars platform was launched in December 2017, powering the Crypto Xmas Charity Auction to which many worldwide famous celebrities donated their personal items with signatures.
Core Idea
The core idea behind TokenStars is to bring the interaction between stars, fans and advertisers to a new level and solve celebrity management industry problems.
Stars: talents and pros. In an era when professional career development highly relies on the ability to attract social capital and access the funding sources, stars need more ways to get discovered by the audience and sponsors.
Fans. The balance of celebrities, fans, and media has shifted dramatically. Fans no longer just watch. In real time they participate, analyze, critique, fantasize and connect with their favorite stars. Fans need innovations that will provide opportunities for interaction and two-way communications with celebrities.
Advertisers. Brands seek new channels of promotion with highly engaged audience and demand transparent and adjustable tools to run advertising campaigns.
We understand that in order to encourage collaboration between huge number of participants TokenStars shall develop scalable digital solutions and competitive incentives for all parties.
Therefore, we build the modular blockchain platform that will allow participants to combine its blocks and achieve the desired results. Eventually it will change the way how celebrities connect with their fans and advertisers, making it more efficient and valuable.
We introduce TEAM token to empower the interaction between parties. TEAM tokens (ERC-20 standard) will serve as a form of access to the TokenStars platform and as an internal currency, required for the majority of operations and transactions within our ecosystem.

Hi Igor,

Thank you especially for the highest appraisal of the team behind TokenStars: it is true that we have a strong team with great professional background at Groupon, Leo Burnett, Evernote, Rambler&Co, Mail.Ru Group and other successful companies https://tokenstars.com/team#team.
It is amazing we also have support of highly experienced blockchain advisors Tomoaki Sato from Starbase, Wulf Kaal from the University of St. Thomas, Edgar Kampers from Qoin and Nicolay Danilov from Decentralized Systems, as well as famous celebrities in our sports & entertainment advisory board - Lothar Matthaus, Tommy Haas, Nikita Kucherov, Anastasia Myskina, Rico Torres and others who became TokenStars ambassadors https://tokenstars.com/team#ambassadors.
Everyone can find all the details, including the technological stack description, token economy, roadmap and other important information in the TEAM white paper http://tokenstars.com/upload/files/team_whitepaper.pdf, here are some of the results we achieved before the end of 2017:
- completed the successful ACE token sale for tennis ($4.9M+ raised; ACE is currently traded on OKEx, one of the major crypto exchanges),
- signed the first contract with a PRO tennis player - Veronika Kudermetova, winner of 21 international tournaments (No. 58 in WTA ranking in doubles),
- arranged marketing projects for Veronika Kudermetova and Ekaterina Makarova (Olympic Gold medalist in Rio-2016; the winner of Wimbledon, US Open and Roland Garros; No. 33 in WTA singles / No. 3 in doubles),
- established partnerships with major sports media platforms, Tribuna Digital and Sports.ru with 12.5 million MAU,
- launched the first module of the TokenStars platform (Contests & Charity Module, now powering the Charity Crypto Xmas Auction supported by popular international stars https://tokenstars.com/charity).
We are doing our best to achieve even more success in 2018.

Hi Luca,
Thank you again for your feedback. I thought my comment could be useful to those people who are interested in TokenStars, so I decided to post it here again, just to make sure the most accurate and up-to-date information is provided at everyone's disposal.
1. We do not offer as huge as 60% or even bigger discount to anyone. It is true that we do offer bonuses that can be applied to TEAM token purchases depending on the amount of contributions and when they are made. These are not discounts. In fact, a discount for the biggest whales does not exceed 35% and decreases gradually, which actually corresponds to the market standard.
By the way, here's the correct final schedule of the TEAM token sale with time-specific bonuses and minimum purchase limits:
Tier 1: December 20, 2017 – January 10, 2018. Min. 1,000 TEAM tokens (0.1 BTC). Bonus 40%.
Tier 2: January 10 - 20, 2018. Min. 1,000 TEAM tokens (0.1 BTC). Bonus 30%.
Tier 3: January 20 - 31, 2018. Min. 100 TEAM tokens (0.01 BTC). Bonus 15%.
Tier 4: January 31 - February 10, 2018. Min. 100 TEAM tokens (0.01 BTC). Bonus 10%.
Tier 5: February 10-28, 2018. Min. 100 TEAM tokens (0.01 BTC). No bonus.
2. Regarding our vision, I would like to stress that TokenStars is based on a proven TMA (talent management agency) business model. We have started with tennis and successfully completed the ACE token sale in October 2017 https://medium.com/@TokenStars/https-medium-com-tokenstars-join-the-team-10-news-from-tokenstars-98464eb711ed, signed the first contract with a PRO tennis player - Veronika Kudermetova, winner of 21 international tournaments (No. 58 in WTA ranking in doubles), launched the marketing project with Ekaterina Makarova (Olympic Gold medalist in Rio-2016; the winner of Wimbledon, US Open and Roland Garros; No. 33 in WTA singles / No. 3 in doubles).
We believe that large audiences will gather around stars and opinion leaders. Lothar Matthäus, Gianluca Zambrotta, Valery Karpin (football), Tommy Haas, Robin Söderling, Cedric Pioline, Anastasia Myskina (tennis), Nikita Kucherov (hockey), Alexander Anter (poker) and Rico Torres (Hollywood) already are among the worldwide famous celebrities supporting us as our Ambassadors https://tokenstars.com/team#ambassadors. In fact, it is already happening.
3. As far as our product is concerned, the TokenStars platform is already working on the Ethereum blockchain. The first module was launched in December 2017, powering the Crypto Xmas Charity Auction https://tokenstars.com/charity/ to which many worldwide famous celebrities donated their personal items with signatures. More modules are coming very soon, already in Q1 2018. Our elaborate white paper contains a detailed description of the TokenStars platform technological stack along with our roadmap and further important information: https://tokenstars.com/upload/files/team_whitepaper.pdf.
As you can see, we are working hard to make TokenStars a success, and we are moving fast. I am glad we have such an experienced team with background at Groupon, Leo Burnett, Evernote, Rambler&Co and Mail.Ru Group, supported by blockchain advisors Tomoaki Sato (Starbase), Wulf Kaal (University of St. Thomas), Edgar Kampers (Qoin) and Nicolay Danilov (Decentralized Systems), as well as by famous celebrities I mentioned above. We all believe in this project and will keep doing our best to fulfil the idea of the first celebrity management platform on the blockchain.

Hi Nathan,
I would like to thank you for reviewing TokenStars TEAM! Since we are moving forward real fast, I decided to update you on the status of our project.
TokenStars platform is already working on the Ethereum blockchain. The first module was launched in December 2017, powering the Crypto Xmas Charity Auction https://tokenstars.com/charity/ to which many worldwide famous celebrities donated their personal items with signatures. More modules are coming very soon, already in Q1 2018. Our elaborate white paper contains a detailed description of the TokenStars platform technological stack along with our roadmap and further important information: https://tokenstars.com/upload/files/team_whitepaper.pdf.
TokenStars’ first token ACE is already launched (https://medium.com/@TokenStars/https-medium-com-tokenstars-join-the-team-10-news-from-tokenstars-98464eb711ed) and listed on OKEx (https://www.okex.com/?forward=%2Fspot%2Ftrade%2Findex.do#symbol=ace_btc).
After the launch of the first deals with brands (for professional tennis players Veronika Kudermetova and Ekaterina Makarova), now we know we are on the right way in terms of earning advertising contracts for stars, based on the huge experience of our team members responsible for relations with brands and now also TokenStars practice.
By the way, Gianluca Zambrotta became the 11th ambassador of TokenStars in December 2017, further increasing the power of our sports and entertainment advisory board that already include Lothar Matthaus (football), Nikita Kucherov (hockey), Tommy Haas (tennis), Alexander Anter (poker) and other famous celebrities. Earlier, blockchain experts Tomoaki Sato (Starbase), Wulf Kaal (University of St. Thomas), Edgar Kampers (Qoin) and Nicolay Danilov (Decentralized Systems) started helping us as advisors.
We are on the way forward, with the ultimate faith in TokenStars, doing our best to make it a big success.

Hi James,
I highly appreciate your expert review of our project. To keep you further informed, I am glad to tell you that a couple of weeks before the New Year, we launched Contest & Charity Module. It is the first module of the TokenStars platform, based on the Ethereum blockchain. Now it is powering the Crypto Charity Auction https://tokenstars.com/charity to which many worldwide famous celebrities donated their personal items with signatures; all the money collected will go to the nonprofit organizations chosen by them. The release of the Talent Scouting and Voting modules will take place in Q1 2018, according to the roadmap we adhere to (can be found in the whitepaper https://tokenstars.com/upload/files/team_whitepaper.pdf).
Also, we are happy that Italian (and worldwide) football legend Gianluca Zambrotta has just joined Lothar Matthäus, Nikita Kucherov, Tommy Haas, Robin Söderling, Cedric Pioline, Anastasia Myskina and other real stars at the advisory board of TokenStars as our new Ambassador. And we greatly value the support we have been getting from our other experts including blockchain advisors Wulf Kaal, Tomoaki Sato, Nicolay Danilov and Edgar Kampers, as well as from the multi-thousand-people community around TokenStars. Together we are absolutely able to disrupt the celebrity management industry as planned.

Hi Joan,
Thank you so much for rating TokenStars TEAM. We are working hard to bring the first celebrity platform on the blockchain to life and I am glad to share some of our recent news with you.
First, we started with tennis and our ACE token (we completed its token sale earlier https://medium.com/@TokenStars/https-medium-com-tokenstars-join-the-team-10-news-from-tokenstars-98464eb711ed) began to be traded on the OKEx exchange platform in December 2017 https://www.okex.com/?forward=%2Fspot%2Ftrade%2Findex.do#symbol=ace_btc. We have already started proving our concept:
- Signed the first contract with a PRO tennis player - Veronika Kudermetova, winner of 21 international tournaments (No. 58 in WTA ranking in doubles) and
- Launched the marketing project with Ekaterina Makarova (Olympic Gold medalist in Rio-2016; the winner of Wimbledon, US Open and Roland Garros; No. 33 in WTA singles / No. 3 in doubles).
Second, we launched the first module of the TokenStars platform in December: Contests & Charity Model. It is currently used for the Charity Auction of top celebrities’ personal items with their personal signatures: https://tokenstars.com/charity.
Third, Gianluca Zambrotta, a prominent former football player, joined our sports & entertainment advisory board in December and is now among TokenStars Ambassadors together with Lothar Matthäus, Valery Karpin (football), Tommy Haas, Robin Söderling, Cedric Pioline, Anastasia Myskina (tennis), Nikita Kucherov (hockey), Alexander Anter (poker), Rico Torres (Hollywood). They share expertise to stimulate our project growth, help us select the most promising talents and attract a large audience of users to TokenStars platform. Among our blockchain advisors now are Tomoaki Sato (Starbase), Wulf Kaal (University of St. Thomas), Edgar Kampers (Qoin) and Nicolay Danilov (Decentralized Systems).
Taking these into account along with the other details of our concept described in the TEAM white paper http://tokenstars.com/upload/files/team_whitepaper.pdf, we fully believe in the successful future of our project and are making every effort to make it come soon.
