E1337 Whitepaper: Version 1.0 Lite

I. Introduction

E1337 is the world’s first fully blockchain integrated luxury apparel brand.

Pronounced “Elite”, the brand name stems from the term “1337” which is used as an adjective to describe formidable prowess or accomplishment, especially in the fields of online gaming and computer hacking.

Vision: Empowering Anyone, Any time, Anywhere

Mission: Inspiring “OP” through Comfort, Style and Performance.

Team E1337 designs and creates physical and digital wearables that allow our fans (E1337ists) to express their love for gaming, their passion for technology and their adoration for blockchain.

E1337 wearbles can only be purchased through the brand’s native social token $1337 (ERC-20).

Whether it be walking on the streets of New York or flying through the skies in the digital landscape that is the Metaverse, E1337ists can use $1337 to purchase digital and physical wearables, as well as participate in E1337 Community events and governance.

II. Background

In response to the rapidly growing e-sports sector that lacked quality apparel products, Team E1337 had been sourcing designs, supply chain partners and materials in the Mecca of e-sports, South Korea since August 2019.

On December 10th 2020, the E1337 team made fashion history and launched the world’s very first luxury e-sports apparel brand.

Within 2 months of launch, E1337 had sold out on a sizable initial production with zero customer complaints, zero product returns and a rabidly growing fanbase.

Along with the success of the E1337 product line, also came the success of the $1337 token, the world’s very first ERC-20 based loyaly points system, which served as the loyalty rewards infrastructure for E1337 product purchasers.

Moving from an initial value of $0.05 to over $2.00 during the course of the proof-of-concept, it became very apparent that there was an opportunity to move further down the Web 3.0 rabbit hole that was Blockchain.

This whitepaper and the official launch of E1337 is the result of the experience garnered from the successful initial launch, careful observations on product-market fit and in-depth analysis on future market trends.

III. Brand Positioning:

Built for Gaming, Inspired by Digital, Powered by Blockchain.

Built for Gaming:

E1337’s product design ethos is founded in gaming.

Through extensive research of gamers and the gaming lifestyle, E1337 was created as a brand to empower gaming enthusiasts in quality, function and aesthetics through highly customized and beautifully crafted wearables.

Designed, sourced and manufactured out of the world’s Esports Mecca, South Korea, E1337’s custom high specification wearables are built to inspire, empower and perform.

Inspired by Digital:

E1337’s creation process transverses the physical to the digital, extending from the Universe to the Metaverse.

Fans of E1337 can not only don their limited edition wearables in the physical world, but also acquire even scarcer digital wearables for their epic exploits across the Metaverse.

Powered by Blockchain:

E1337 is on the cutting edge of technology, utilizing the Ethereum blockchain to power authenticity tracking, loyalty tokens and the E1337 economy.

$1337, the loyalty token for E1337, is an exclusive ERC-20 token that allows holders to redeem E1337 physical and digital wearables. Holders of $1337 have full control over their tokens, allowing them to hold, redeem, earn or sell at any time.

All physical E1337 wearables come with a beautiful art-based non-fungible token (NFT) that proves authenticity, provenance and scarcity.
