ROI & cost-benefit-analysis

To evaluate the economic efficiency of the ecrop platform, we offer an interactive ROI calculator and a detailed cost-benefit analysis. This analysis considers both direct costs for platform usage (e.g., setup fees, transaction fees, custody fees) and indirect benefits resulting from increased efficiency (e.g., time savings, automation), risk minimization (e.g., reduced operational risks, improved security), and enhanced compliance (e.g., meeting regulatory requirements).

ROI Calculator

With our interactive ROI calculator, you can calculate the potential return on investment for using the ecrop platform. The calculator considers individual parameters, such as:

• Issuance Volume: Total value of crypto securities to be issued.
• Number of Transactions: Estimated number of transactions per year.
• Assets under Custody: Total value of crypto assets in custody.
• Staking Volume (optional): Total value of crypto assets used for staking.

The ROI calculator serves as an estimation tool; actual results may vary.

Cost-Benefit Analysis

To evaluate the economic efficiency of the ecrop platform, we conduct a detailed cost-benefit analysis. This analysis considers both the direct costs for platform usage and the indirect benefits resulting from increased efficiency, risk minimization, and improved compliance.

Quantifiable Costs

• Setup Fees: One-time costs for platform setup and configuration.
• Transaction Fees: Fees per transaction, depending on volume and type of transaction.
• Custody Fees: Annual fees based on the value of assets under custody.
• Staking Fees (optional): Percentage of achieved staking rewards.

Quantifiable Benefits

• Time Savings: Reduction of manual effort through process automation, e.g., in the issuance and transfer of securities.
• Risk Minimization: Minimization of operational risks, cyber risks, and compliance risks through secure infrastructure, control mechanisms, and audit trails.
• Improved Compliance: Adherence to all relevant regulatory requirements through integrated compliance functions and automated checks.
• Increased Efficiency: Optimization of business processes through digital processing and real-time transparency.
• Scalability: Flexible adaptation of the platform to growing business requirements.
• New Business Opportunities: Access to new markets and business models through the use of digital assets.
