\n\t\t\tA great white paper needs to show that the project has transparency.\t\t\t\t\t\t\tKolapo Akande, founder of Pledge Utility Coin<\/cite>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/p><\/blockquote><\/div>\n

We\u2019ve seen a number of white papers in the form of PowerPoint-style decks or even videos. Regardless of format, to achieve the main goal of defining what kind of product you are building, this document will require input from a wide variety of stakeholders.<\/p>\n

For tokenized securities, for example, white paper authors must work with a legal team to ensure that they are accurately describing a project\u2019s parameters and regulatory compliance. If it\u2019s a fintech product that doesn\u2019t hold client crypto or fiat currency, they can afford to be slightly less regimented. That said, in some cases, a white paper will be an integral part of startup strategy.<\/p>\n
