INTRODUCTION

The annual turnover of the sex leisure market exceeds $200 billion. There 

has always been demand on this market and whatever are exchange rates, 

oil prices or geopolitical problems, the demand on the market is stable and 

constantly growing. The main customer on this market is the most active 

and at the same time one, the most payable part of the world's population.

Adult entertainment industry and modern technologies have had stronger 

connections day by day, and with spreading of blockchain technology 

together with p2p web, it’s obvious, that the birth of the global platform, 

which can unite sexworkers (offerers, workers) and customers from all over 

the world is predetermined1

.

SPECIFICITY AND PROBLEMS

The closeness of the market and high risk to get low-quality service are the 

main problems. Due to specifics, neither offerers nor customers can fully 

enjoy benefits of the Internet and social networks.

When we need to visit another city or country, there are aggregators, such 

as booking.com, which contain lots of real people reviews and ratings. In 

case of adult entertainment, there is nothing like that. Some cities have 

local websites, some of them even have ratings and reviews system. 

However, you cannot always trust to every website because of unpredicted 

service level. That is why the selection process is very confusing and 

difficult. If you are inexperienced customer and if you go to another city / 

country, you cannot trust to local services for sure. Where should you look 

for good service? How to choose between them? Currently, there are no 

answers. That is where our service can solve these and other serious 

problems.

Anonymity. The vast majority of customers and the most of offerers prefer 

to keep their identity incognito. Moreover, customers generally want to 

keep their transactions related to this market in secret, and cash for some 

reasons is not always convenient.

Security. This problem touches sexworkers mainly. There is always an opportunity to meet an inadequate customer.

Quality. Customers that want to get service from new offerers cannot be 

completely sure about the quality of the service provided until they try it.

SOLUTION

The solution to problems, which are described above, is the creation of 

specialized, global, decentralized website with advanced rating system.

HOW IT WORKS

Nocta is the marketplace, where customers and sexworkers have their own 

personal cabinets. Filters allows to select a location, type of service, 

budget, etc. In other words, Nocta allows to accurately adjust plan for 

leisure in any city in the world. User can always find what he (or she)

needs, read about desired services, leave and read feedback, use secure

payment system. All attributes of the platform are aimed at convenient and 

long-term use. Payment for the services will be provided using Nocta

internal currency. There is extra set of services and opportunities for 

offerers as well.

The user's personal cabinet contains information about his balance that 

can be easily replenished; there are bookmarks (favorites) for preferred 

offerers, pre-sets of filters for different geolocations. The customer can 

create his own request for the service or the number of services, noting the 

desired area on the map.

The offerer's personal cabinet has the same attribute series like customer's 

personal cabinet, but there is personal settings page as well, such as list of 

services provided, prices, service options, media-content (photo, video and 

audio). Offerers can request for the information about customer’s balance 

and ratings anytime.

Monetizing of the platform will occur in the following ways:

• Offering the special statuses for the workers accounts;
• Commissioning fees;
• Organizing of the promotional events;
• Paid articles and posts in related media and social networks.

QUALITY AND SAFETY

The rating system is a 5-point scale. After newly registered profile appear in 

system, its rating is not shown and account is marked as "new". When user 

reach a certain number of successfully completed contacts rating will be 

displayed.

The rating system is based on the blockchain. All given points are stored in 

blocks and invulnerable for malicious changes.

Customers that have reached positive balance and minimum order history 

can leave their feedback and rate offerers right after service is provided. It 

increases the involvement of suppliers and improves quality service. It will 

also protect other customers from low-quality services.

On the other hand, sexworkers will be able to leave comments about 

customers; these comments will be visible only for other suppliers together 

with customer’s requests. Based on the rating and feedback, offerers can 

easily decide if they want to provide the service. 

WORKERS VERIFICATION

Basic verification of sexworkers will proceed by Nocta platform users. 

Workers will have an ability (not a duty) to provide a photograph with 

clearly visible face and ID with all personal data hidden, except photo and 

birthdate. 

Users will be able to check the worker's profile by a single criteria: "is the 

photograph real?" Process will be totally random to prevent a fraud. To 

qualify as the "checked", worker's profile must be approved by a minimum 

of 3 users. Nevertheless, workers profile appear in the search engine 

immediately after registration, but without "checked" mark on it.

System will randomly generate pairs of encryption keys to grant or deny 

access of users to verification process. When user asks to view the file the 

system will check whether the user has access to the view and to the vote. 

In the future with the development of artificial intelligence, functions of 

workers approval will be delegated to the AI.

TRUSTED CUSTOMERS APPROVAL

Nocta will have the customer’s approval option. For example, to use special 

services that directly related to the physical risk (bondage, BDSM, etc),

user have to be identified and have the "trusted" status. At the same time,

sexworkers are free to contact untrusted customer on their own risk. 

Function of customer’s approval will be driven by a trustful offline regional 

organization as it works nowadays, and we find this model trustworthy. 

Nocta team is negotiating the establishment of autonomous local customer 

verification services worldwide. Providers of the services will be public and 

related to the trustful sexworkers organizations so offerers will be able to 

contact them directly in person.

After the service implementing, providers will get personal encrypted key, 

which include unique hash value that identify the service provider. Service 

will give it to the checked customer, who will activate it within form in his 

profile. Since the organization will be public, it will be responsible for the 

quality of the approval. The "trusted" mark also contains information about 

provider that issued it.

In addition, workers always can check customers rating and discuss him in

an internal chat.

PAYMENT SYSTEM

The cash payment process will occur as usual. 

Payment by Nocta currency will carried out as follows: after an agreement 

is reached between the client and the offerer, they meet and discuss the 

details, if both parties agree to contact, the client transfers from his 

personal wallet to the employee's account in a simple way, using NFC or 

QR code.

NETWORK ARCHITECTURE

The most suitable ready-made solution that can be used before developing 

own database is IPFS. It has a number of significant weaknesses:

1) Data storage is not guaranteed;

2) Data cannot be deleted or modified;

3) Data is not structured.

Building the NoSQL database over the IPFS may help to solve some 

problems described above, but not all of them. During alpha/beta tests 

common SQL DB will be used as static data storage to show the main 

platform usability.

BLOCKCHAIN

Nocta blockchain will use the new perspective algorithm called proof-of-

space2

. Specs of the blockсhain will announced after the ICO and before 

blockchain run. Total premine will be equal to the number of Nocta ERC20 

tokens issued during presale, ICO and bounty campaigns.

Blockchain by its nature already have an ability to store decentralized data. 

Main issue here is limited data capacity, all nodes are replicate all data, 

include all of its states. Therefore, it is impossible to store all data of the 

global platform like Nocta and maintain a reasonable size of the 

blockchain. For example, size of Bitcoin blockchain is approximately

140GB by now, despite the fact that its blocks consists of transactions hash 

only. Size of the Ethereum blockchain, that have much more complicated 

structure, exceeded 100GB in just two years of activity.

The Nocta platform designed to unite hundreds of thousands of users and 

it is required a separate distributed database to store such data array. This

way Nocta needs its own decentralized data storage besides the 

blockchain.

DATABASE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM

DBMS (NoctaDB) will follow requirements described below:

 Publicity. Every user can create records. Only creator of record must 

have permission to change the records made by him (ability of create 

and edit profile specs);

 Authorized records. Profiles have public/restricted status within the 

platform. Every user can see profiles of workers. Only workers can 

see profiles of customers. Using public keys to regulate access rights 

among users.

 Sharding ability to support smooth scalability of the platform.

 Invulnerability to known issues of the distributed services.

services.

Figure 1: Basics of the user access

Full specification of the NoctaDB will described in the yellow paper.

Summarizing the above, Nocta must meet the following requirements to 

successfully perform its functions:

1. Decentralization (consist of decentralized network);

2. Anonymity and privacy of clients and servers (nodes);

3. Invulnerability to known distributed system weaknesses (sybil attack3

4. Ability to store and search structured data;

5. Scalability (readiness for rapid growth without access speed loss);

6. Publicity (everybody must be able to download node and become the

MAIN TOKEN DISTRIBUTION

MAIN TOKEN DISTRIBUTION

Main token distribution (MTD) will conducted using the Ethereum platform.

MTD starts 23.02.2018 at 12:00 p.m. (UTC). Main rate is 12600 NOCTA 

per 1 ETH (~$0.07 per NOCTA). Hardcap of the MTD is 2450 ETH. 

Early participants will receive 30% bonus with the rate of 16800 NOCTA 

per ETH till the 24.02.2018 12:00 p.m. (UTC).

Total token supply is 300 000 000 NOCTA. Token allocation will be as 

follows:

Tokens, issued for the team5

and in-platform purchase6

are locked on 

open-source smart contracts.

After the run of the platform, token->coin swap will be performed using 

internal Nocta platform exchange. The main volume of issued currency

(65,5%) will be distributed via the internal platform exchange at Q3 2018 

with the fixed price of $1. 

Thus, the platform will receive necessary funding using the most 

convenient tool and after several months will move to the fully autonomous 

financial operations through its own blockchain.

LEGITIMACY & MINORS

We are against the violation of international and national laws that regulate 

age of consent and find it unacceptable and disgusting to populate child 

prostitution and platform will use distributed pre-moderation system as it 

described above. 

ADVANTAGES

For sexworkers:

1.Significant safety increase

Thanks to the rating system, the employee will be able to assess the sanity 

of the customer based on ratings and colleagues' feedback. After the 

provision of services worker is able to expose the customer's rating and 

leave review, which is visible only to other offerers.

 Wide marketing opportunities

Each sexworker can offer their services and find as many customers as 

they want. The worker has the opportunity to view the statistics of requests 

for a particular region, which will allow him to assess the information about 

the demand for all types of services.

 The ability to completely deny services of unscrupulous third parties 

that deprive a significant part of sexworker's earnings

In many respects, the existence of such people is conditioned by the closed 

nature of the market, and Nocta solves this problem. Workers will be able 

to set their own price for providing services. The customer rating system 

and the opportunity to create funds for hiring security guards will remove

 the major risks.

Opportunity to merge into unions and create funds to support 

workers in different life situations

The platform allows creating funds for professional unions, like financing 

security services and medical insurance and funds for combating 

occupational diseases. Unions will allow more flexible approach to the 

issue of marketing, pricing policy and timely reaction to possible pressure 

from the authorities or third parties.

1.Easy customer search

Worker is able to configure the list of provided services as well as served 

region and the cost. Offerer also sets the minimum level of the customer’s 

rating to avoid major risks

2. The ability to choose customers and to work anywhere in the world

A worker will be able to change the region of his activity any time without 

losing customers. An offerer can view unique queries from customers about 

services that does not fall under search filters.

3. Statistics and maintaining of loyal customers

There is order statistics inside offerer’s personal cabinet, with the ability to 

sort information using selected criteria’s, to receive statistics for different 

period of time, and about different customers. There is an opportunity to 

encourage favorite customers with discounts.

For customers:

4.Free and easy to use

Customer just needs to login and choose desirable offer. This simplicity will 

greatly increase the number of customers on the market.

5. Anonymity

The platform will not require any personal information and will give user 

only id and password to enter. Otherwise, in some cases, user can get

verified status.

6. Secure payments

Nocta will fully provide on-platform transactions in it’s own blockchain. This 

will make the system fully autonomous. Nevertheless, we are well aware of 

the established traditions of the market, so, until the cryptocurrency is used 

universally, customer can make payments in cash, if wanted.

 Confidence in the quality of services

Integration with blockchain tech excludes any rating wrapping or review 

falsifications, so the customer may not worry about service quality. 

 Satisfaction of every taste, worldwide

The flexible system of filters will allow customer to choose a worker for any 

even the most refined taste, anywhere in the world, this will allow customer

to find what he has been looking for, as well as easily plan his vacation or 

working trip in other cities and countries.

 Custom orders

If for some reason the user cannot get the desired result using search 

engine, he can create custom request with the description of his wants; this 

can be anything from escort for the event to any exquisite services.

SUMMARY

Nocta solves main problems of leisure industry for adults. It allows 

customer to make convenient choice anywhere in the world, to get quality 

assurance and anonymity in simple form. Moreover, customer can be sure 

in the services that he is going to use. Nocta allows offerer to promote 

services all over the world using secure and confident platform.
