Attention: Ghosto is currently in the conceptual stage, the contents of the whitepaper may be subject to change in the future.
The degree of urbanization in Malaysia is increasing, and the size and density of the population are increasing. Huge cities are crowded with diverse communities, some of whom are isolated in their daily hustle and bustle. Besides, socializing seems to be a big headache for today’s young people. “Fear of social interaction and fear of loneliness” has become a true portrayal for some people.
With the growth of the internet, online social networking has become one of the main ways people communicate. Compared with face-to-face social networking in reality, the anonymity and convenience of online social networking allow users to express themselves and communicate with others more freely in the online world. Malaysia currently has a total of approximately 83% of internet users, 81% of whom are active on social media.
Socializing is inherently inefficient. It takes time to build relationships, multi-faceted interactions to accumulate trust, and capital to build social tools to speed up the connections between people. In the end, all these actions are just to expect you to spend time and top up.
According to the study, socializing is a process of exchanging information. The only way to maximize information is to meet. In communication, 35% of the information is conveyed through words, while the remaining 65% is conveyed through non-verbal means such as body and facial expressions.
Drinking, parties, and gatherings have become the main way of socializing in this modern society.
Physical businesses have created a variety of styles of venues to satisfy consumer demand, and more traditional industries have incorporated social elements to open up new markets. For example, the hotel industry…
Despite the high demand in the social market, the industry is highly homogenous. With a short life cycle, customers tend to lose their sense of novelty. Coupled with various government constraints and other factors, the offline social entertainment industry is in a high return but unstable grey area.
(Second Round) has also become the biggest worry for Malaysian consumers, but with it comes a variety of drinking safety concerns.
The accommodation sector contributes RM30 billion to Malaysia’s Gross Domestic Product (GDP). It covers a wide range of service industries, providing a lot of employment opportunities, reducing the unemployment rate, and hence making a significant contribution to the economy of the city and country.
According to statistics, there are more than 3.5 million short-term rental houses in Malaysia by 2021.
With the opening of the epidemic, local consumers are in high demand for offline events. Due to the competitive and cheap short-term rental market, coupled with the convenience, privacy, and accommodation that comes with it, it has become a place for many consumers to celebrate festivals and gather with friends.
The accommodation industry is essentially a place for people to sleep, and although changes in the local consumer market have boosted occupancy rates, it is short-lived and has given rise to many social problems.
The concept of the fourth space is an open lifestyle community, where users can explore, discover, experience, and share the fun.
Ghosto believes that hotels are more than just a place to sleep but also a portal to a lifestyle. By re-planning the traditional hotel market, the qualified space will be upgraded into a multi-functional social space for entertainment, accommodation, retail, and activities, with limited space to change a variety of possibilities.

“What we are looking forward to is to build a safe and fun social experience for users with social needs in different cities, bringing social life back offline. Instead of a party, it is more like a relaxing chat-sharing session, with wine and stories.”
Web3.0 is a new generation of Internet concept, which is a new economic system jointly built and shared by users and builders. In the history of Internet development, Web1.0 is “read”, Web2.0 is “read + write”, and Web3.0 is “read + write + own”.
In general, Web1.0 is the past and solves the problem of users browsing content; Web 2.0 solves the problem of creating content for current users; while Web3.0 will solve the problem of future user information security and content ownership.
To simplify, blockchain is a ledger of recorded information. Instead of relying on one center, everyone participates in the process of recording and monitoring.
Bitcoin mining, on the other hand, is all about helping with bookkeeping, which is rewarded with bitcoins. The bookkeeping is anonymous, and the book is public.
There are also a series of security safeguards that solve the trust issues of decentralization and ensure the stable operation of Bitcoin.
Currently, crypto assets can be divided into 2 simple categories: coin and token.
Coin has monetary properties, among which the most famous and typical examples are Bitcoin and Ethereum.
Token can be thought of as a carrier of value and most people understand it as a token, but professional translators usually call it a pass. It refers to being issued by a blockchain-based project, which is only used as a payment method within the project’s ecosystem, with the user holding the Token to enter the project.
Coin is just like the money we use every day. It has no value where it is used to exchange goods or services. Token, on the other hand, is like a concert ticket that only ticket holders can get in.
The full name of Dapp is called Decentralized Application. Compared with the app running on the centralized server in the past, Dapp is deployed in a distributed network where all data are open, transparent, and cannot be changed.
Taking games as an example, traditional game data is stored in centralized server. In this situation, the developers have absolute control over the game and can change the rules and content of the game without anyone knowing about it. On the contrary, decentralized game data is stored in the distributed network where every rule is open and transparent, and no one can amend it. Game asset ownership belongs to players and developers have no control over them.
We will synchronize the spending data of NFT holders in real life through blockchain technology and convert it into platform tokens to purchase more digital assets, to obtain more exclusive membership benefits.
Try to imagine, you’re a gastronome， wandering through fancy restaurants for delicious food, and your spending does nothing but just to accumulate points.
In Ghosto ecosystem, you will have your spending data, and the system will position you as a food lover based on your spending in the food sector. You can then constantly upgrade your status to enjoy more privileges similar to traditional membership. However, what makes it more special is that it is a digital asset in the form of NFT. It does not belong to any platform, but only belongs to you, and you can trade freely for profit.
Create a free, fair, and safe community platform through Web 3.0 concept, using NFT to gather people together to build their community, and inspire them to explore every corner of the city. Experience the most authentic lifestyle and empower traditional industries in the real world (bar/restaurant/hotel).

Adventurer NFT acts as a basic membership to the platform. Different from the traditional membership, the core of Ghosto surrounds user autonomy and decentralization, striving to create a fair, safe, and free user experience. NFT holders are not only service experiencers, but also investors and partners, who own the right to vote on developments to co-create, build, and share with the platform, turning typical memberships into assets.
More benefits to come…

Lord NFT is an advanced membership of the platform and is only open to Adventurer holders. Every Lord on the platform represents different categories of the community. For instance, if you own a “Lord of Gluttony”, you can build your clan, recruit partners with common interests to share, and experience a variety of exclusive activities.
NFT ticket is a digital asset that acts as a pass for the holder to enter the event. Members can customize events on the platform and earn money by issuing tickets for those events on the built-in marketplace.
By cooperating with merchants to convert traditional membership cards into NFT equipment to be traded within the marketplace, members can purchase equipment for avatars and get ancillary benefits.
Ghosto will release the Adventurer series NFT membership on 2023, for a total number of 6,666.
Adventurer membership will be divided into 4 categories for sales. After the sale, the Lord series NFT will be launched as well, with more details will be announced later in the member community.
Ghosto differs from most NFT projects in the way it is sold, with no whitelisting, no private sales, no hunger marketing, and no virtual currency transactions. The public can direct use credit cards to purchase. When the transaction is completed, the system instructions will guide you step by step to obtain the NFT.
The core of Ghosto is to return to reality where NFT is just a tool. It is part of our mission to make it as easy as possible for the public to become part of the project.
For each completed phase of the Adventurer Series NFT sales period, the project owner will contribute 30% of the proceeds to hold a grand decentralized party. The theme, location, and content of the party will be voted on by each phase of NFT holders!
Stay tuned!
Ghosto ecosystem has 7 communities categorized. Each community is a DAO that is run by the members of the group together and a barrier to entry is set for other members to apply to join.
Similar to the game’s clans, you have the power to create a clan when you own the Lord NFT. At the same time, you can also create a clan NFT badge to recruit clan members.
All clans are ranked and can be upgraded according to the contribution of their members. In the beginning, only 5 members can be recruited. The number of members and the corresponding benefits will then gradually increase as the level increases.
Members can customize daily activities through the built-in booking function of the platform. This function has personalized service options, allowing users to completely customize the content of the activity, not only can choose the activity space, but also food, alcohol, DJ, singer, and decoration for this one-stop service.
Create NFT activities, tickets are sold openly on the in-app marketplace for profit
Be the first to snap up limited number of NFT and trade them freely for profit.
Over time, we plan to allow members to upload their properties to rent out as a venue space for a profit, like Airbnb.
Ghosto is a Web3 lifestyle application with built-in Game-Fi + Social-Fi elements. Game-Fi is planned to encourage users to explore the cities and embrace the most authentic life experience while relying on Social-Fi to create a community-driven platform that encourages users to create interesting content.
GameFi is a combination of Game and Finance, which means to give users economic incentives in a way of play-to-earn. Non-fungible tokens (NFT) and blockchain technology are among the most important factors. Players can get the game rewards through several ways like missions, battles, levels upgrade, etc. You can also transfer the game’s assets to cryptocurrency trading platforms and NFT marketplaces for trading.
SocialFi is a combination of Social and Finance, which means building a group economic system through community power. Similar to GameFi, GameFi implements the concept of Play-to-Earn by NFT of items, while SocialFi is a way to increase the frequency of interaction between communities and create inter-group value by issuing social tokens (Social Coin) or by tying one’s work to NFT.
The Ghosto project was started by Luban Creations, a Malaysian brand design company. We have professional experience in areas like commercial branding, space design, and decoration, and have been creating a balance between traditional merchants and consumers for many years.
Based on our understanding of the consumer market, the Ghosto lifestyle brand was born! We will fix all the mistakes of the current social approach and interpret Web 3.0 in the simplest way possible, inspiring millions of non-cryptocurrency users to use the app to experience real social life from a real-life perspective.
