White papers have come to be known as an essential part of creating a new blockchain project or cryptocurrency. Investors, businesspeople, and developers expect to see this document that explains what problem the project solves and how it does so. A simplified definition of a White Paper is a document released by a crypto project that gives investors technical information about its concept, and a roadmap for how it plans to grow and succeed.
But white papers didn’t originate with cryptocurrency or even with businesses for that matter. Let’s take a quick look back at how they started and why they have come to be important. The term originated when government papers were coded by color to indicate distribution, and white was designated for public access. This is why white papers are used in politics and business, as well as in technical fields like cryptocurrency, to educate readers and help people make decisions.
