Odin tokens can also be used as a means of payment for other services provided by other companies. As a general rule, the Company (Odin Wealth Management AG, hereinafter referred to as "Odin WMA") does not restrict the use of Odin tokens or the types of companies wishing to use Odin tokens for their business.

In Germanic and Norse mythology, Odin is a widely revered god and associated with wisdom, healing,

death, royalty, the gallows, knowledge, battle, sorcery, poetry, frenzy, and the runic alphabet.

Odin is a prominently mentioned god throughout the recorded history of the Germanic peoples, from the

Roman occupation of regions of Germania through the tribal expansions of the Migration Period and

the Viking Age. In the modern period, Odin continued to be acknowledged in the rural folklore of

Germanic Europe. References to Odin appear in place names throughout regions historically inhabited

by the ancient Germanic peoples, and the day of the week Wednesday bears his name in many

Germanic languages, including English.

Today, virtual currencies are evolving in different ways. The evolution of virtual currencies had a big impact on e-commerce causing interest in virtual currencies to increase further. Conversely, there exist virtual currencies that have been deemed as fraud and virtual currencies that do not comply with regulations. And additionally, problems still persist for brokers dealing in the sale of virtual currencies and for their customers. Currently, there are various risks for customers who purchase virtual currencies at initial coin offerings (ICO). Also, of the virtual currencies created around the world, it is difficult for general investors to get useful information on these global virtual currencies due to language barriers and borders.

In order to resolve these problems, we aim to establish the Odin platform as a service which collates information on global virtual currencies and ICOs, and which enables investors to purchase for themselves. This platform allows any user to obtain information on virtual currencies and ICOs from around the world and make purchases. And furthermore, in order to make it easier for users to use the service, we have provided an app for mobile devices as well as the web application.

Today, there is an increasing interest in virtual currencies born on the basis of blockchain technology. Bitcoin, the most widely known of the virtual currencies, showed an annual rate of increase of 54% in 2016 [1]. Considered as a safe asset, its value increased by 4% on the night of President Trump’s victory. Ethereum, on the other hand, exhibited a quick surge in 2017, reaching $350 per Ether. While virtual currency is a high risk asset for purchasers due to the magnitude of volatility and security problems, etc., those who are interested in purchasing continue to increase due to its popularity and sharp rise in value, etc.

Abstract

The Virtual Currency Market 1

Page 14: ODIN · as a wealth of experience of software systems based on ... by the ancient Germanic ... - Odin is developed and maintained by an international

14

Since 2001, crowdfunding has emerged as a way to generate the capital needed to turn ideas into reality, and especially in the last decade large-scale platforms such as Kickstarter have appeared. With regards to ICO crowdsales (hereinafter referred to as "ICO") by issuing tokens based on blockchain technology, crowdfunding similarities may be pointed out, but although they may look the same there are big differences and ICOs are often more likely to be evaluated as a way of raising funds for further development.

Indeed, the total amount raised through ICO from January 2017 to June of the same year exceeds over US $1 billion, and it has been reported that this amount has surpassed early stage venture capital funding. [3]

In initial coin offerings companies and projects issue tokens as a way of raising funds and grant those tokens to investors. The number and variety of projects seeking to raise funds through ICO has exploded over the last couple of years, and this growth shows no signs of slowing down. However, this movement is still in its infancy. With flexibility in design possible and through a decentralized system based on blockchain technology, funds raised through virtual currencies which are able to secure complete authenticity are already bringing about a paradigm shift towards traditional financing, including conventional crowdfunding methods, and new market formation after financing.

The fundamental problem of traditional crowdfunding is that it is purely a means of raising funds and as such it is inevitable that there will be no further development. Moreover, we cannot deny that high platform fees charged by companies also influence the project budget. On the other hand, initial coin offerings are totally different from traditional crowdfunding, not only as an effective means for raising funds, but also tokens issued through flexible design can be circulated by utilizing blockchain technology, and in turn this can lead to the formation of new markets and economic spheres. This is an extremely innovative means of funding which to an extent can even functionalize in a way not found in fiat currencies, and it can also be said to be a means of market creation.

In initial coin offerings funds are raised by startup companies and projects creating and selling their own tokens. Therefore, it is important to design attractive tokens for investors while assuming compliance with all laws and regulations, and conversely, even at startup, by committing to realizing an attractive token design will enable early and large-scale financing. This allows issuers of virtual currencies to raise funds from a wide range of investors, while the investors also have the potential to make money if the value of their tokens obtained through ICO increases. Moreover, if these tokens are listed on the virtual currency exchange, it will be possible to sell or purchase additional tokens there, but this is possible only because it is based on blockchain technology. This is not possible through the likes of traditional crowdfunding.

In this way, ICO can be evaluated as a means of raising funds that can bring unprecedented benefits to both start-ups and investors. Many start-up companies and projects have used this as a means of financing with numerous success stories already recorded.

3.1 Fake ICO Coins

Today, virtual currencies are drawing worldwide attention, but it should also be said that scams which pervert and abuse initial coin offerings are rampant. Ease of use as a means of ICO financing and increasing attention in recent times have conversely led to harmful results. Unfortunately, there are many examples of bad practice and there has been a wide range of damage caused by scams and fraudulent cases.

One reason for why scams occur is undeniably because laws and regulations in many countries and regions are weak and do not keep with the virtual currencies themselves and the fund raising methods which use virtual currencies. Government's’ stance on virtual currencies also varies from country to country. Some governments are hostile to virtual currency while some regard virtual currency as a business opportunity thereby actively seeking to attract ICOs, etc. While the existence of governments like the latter help to promote and disseminate virtual currencies, they also contain an organizational risk becoming a breeding ground for fraudulent cases.

Furthermore, there is still no rationale for the validity of the price of virtual currencies. It is therefore noted that, with the issue of the virtual currency price (or in other words, that it is too expensive), it is extremely difficult to prove any kind of scam or fraud has taken place and that any crime has been committed. For example, had a project for an ICO raised funds and then not initiated that project at all it would of course be possible to make a case for fraud. However, if the project was initially launched and then aborted, it then becomes quite difficult in practice to make a case for fraud. In other words, there remains an escape route for people who carry out fraudulent ICOs, which is why there are still so many scams going on. And unlike legal tender, virtual currency can be issued through the design of tokens outside the framework of laws such as the Financial Instruments and Exchange Law and the Investment Law. Although this makes it easy for startups to raise funds, on the other hand we cannot deny that it is a major contributing factor for fraudulent ICO.

Specifically, since last year (2017), governments, including the United States and Singapore, have been clarifying ICO regulations while initial coin offerings in China have been banned altogether. In addition to this strengthening of regulatory attitudes, although the number of fake tokens listed on exchanges has decreased due to this voluntary strengthening of restrictions, there are still many problems and scams with respect to token trading before listing, such as with pre-sales, etc.

Odin WMA intends to offer services that allow customers to safely purchase tokens at initial coin offerings without, as far as possible, having any problems.

3.2 Broker Troubles

These days, many problems exist between brokers and customers (investors who purchase tokens at ICO) in so much that brokers and others who do not necessarily have adequate knowledge or morals to properly sell virtual currency, sell tokens at ICO.

For example, there are cases and problems arising with brokers who do not properly know the contents of the tokens themselves and who do not have adequate expertise about solicitation laws, who actively

16

solicit through exaggeration and in ways other than those described in the white paper, and who also make statements about inflated prices.

Additionally, there have been cases where customers have purchased tokens through a fraudulent website or a fake wallet and the token the customer should have purchased is not actually granted to them at all.

To that end, Odin WMA will, by providing the Odin platform, ensure that investors are protected not only by advanced security measures but also by smart contracts, so that investors will not get involved in scams like those mentioned above. Odin WMA is aiming to build such an environment where investors can trade tokens with confidence.

3.3 Lack of Information Literacy

As mentioned above, the ICO market is rapidly spreading throughout the world as a means of new financing and market formation completely different from traditional crowdfunding. On the other hand, it is also true that purchasers of tokens at ICO are not familiar with the laws and regulations of each country. Although the possibility of flexible token design is the reason for the birth of a completely new conceptual business model, it is difficult for ordinary investors to judge their feasibility and effectiveness, thereby creating a double-edged sword.

As a result, a confused picture exists whereby ordinary investors have to make decisions based on information such as, "Which ICOs are issued in compliance with the law and are properly managed projects?", "Which ICO is not a scam?", "Which ICO matches its own propensity to invest and is it a good token to buy?”, etc.

Also, since most white papers are written in English there seems to be cases where those who lack English skills participate in ICO and purchase tokens without fully understanding the contents of the token or the business model.

In order to solve the problem of insufficient information for the investor, the Odin platform examines the status of the ICO business model, the white paper, its security, and anti-money laundering measures, and handles only those ICO tokens which comply with the laws of each country.

Today, money laundering is pointed out as one of the most serious problems of the virtual currency industry. It is said that the role played by platforms like blockchains to promote AML/CFT (Anti Money Laundering / Combating the Financing of Terrorism) procedures is not impossible but unavoidable, and Odin WMA also holds a similar view. The Odin platform will also do a thorough review of KYC (Know Your Customer), AML and CFT.

Furthermore, as well as translation of all white papers and web pages, etc. the Odin platform will aim to provide services to obtain even more accurate information on eligible ICO tokens which users can invest in worldwide to the extent allowed by the laws and regulations of each country. As mentioned above, each country's regulations with respect to virtual currencies are diverse and it is extremely difficult for ordinary investors to independently verify the legality of each ICO token or ICO process. However, we will establish a system on the Odin platform to select ICO token pre-sales for each country (region). By doing so, a compliance system for the Odin platform will be constructed which ensures that the risks for investors to get tangled up in fake ICO tokens will be minimized as far as is possible.

4.1 Features of the Odin Platform

The Odin platform is a platform devised with one of its main objectives being to provide important information on ICO projects so that users can make more accurate and informed decisions when participating in ICO pre-sales. The Odin platform provides the following features.

Figure 4.1: Simple Diagram of the Odin Ecosystem

4.1.1 All in One Marketplace

A noteworthy feature of the Odin platform is that it provides users with a marketplace to sell pre-ICO tokens. Users interested in initial coin offerings will be able to access information on multiple ICO projects via the Odin platform without having to visit each and every ICO website.

By purchasing Odin tokens and registering them on the Odin platform, users can register their personal information, ID and address, etc., without having to register for or select the virtual currency (BTC, ETH, etc.) for each ICO, and seamlessly purchase tokens listed on the Odin marketplace during the pre-ICO sale period. This will make the process of participating in ICOs during the pre-sale period faster and easier for both ICO companies and users alike. ICO companies will then be able to concentrate more on projects, and users will be able to join the ICO community making it easy to participate in other ICO projects.

4.1.2 Token Sales on the ODIN Platform

The Odin platform is a virtual currency e-commerce platform available on both mobile and web applications, which provides digital processes and interfaces to invest and interact with the virtual currency market. As mentioned above, users can purchase ICO tokens sold on the Odin platform. Furthermore, ICO tokens sold are not the only tokens issued by other entities which Odin WMA provides as a broker. Users who have passed the rigorous Odin WMA checks can themselves sell ICO tokens on the Odin platform. However, in order to ensure safety for other users, checks are carried out by Odin WMA on ICO tokens sold by users.

The buying and selling of tokens on the Odin platform is managed by smart contracts and advanced security measures. ICO tokens sold on the Odin platform can be purchased directly via the Wallet interface. When purchasing a specific ICO token, the user can check various kinds of information about the ICO token including white papers, web pages, and road maps, in the investors’ native language on the Odin dashboard. Users can get their purchased ICO tokens in their wallet at the exact time the ICO body issues the token. After listing the ICO token, users can sell their ICO tokens on the exchange where the ICO token is listed.

In recent years, FX trading and stock trading applications have become much easier to use. For the virtual currency market too, it is easy to imagine the increasing necessity of creating an easy-to-use platform. For that reason, Odin WMA is aiming to build a platform that can purchase ICO tokens using the simplest possible application. Furthermore, KYC, AML and CFT digital verification will also take place on the platform.

The Odin platform aims to be a service that can provide opportunities for trading in more ICO tokens for ordinary investors who are experiencing problems and want to purchase ICO tokens but are unwilling reluctant or uneasy due to various difficulties such as the ICO, tokens, legal restrictions, language, and the general complexity of the trading system, etc.

4.1.3 One-Stop News Portal

Pre-ICOs listed on the Odin Marketplace will display all relevant information such as white papers, token sales information, token status, company information, and reviews about ICO projects, etc. By summarizing all the currently available information on the Odin Marketplace, users will be able to easily make a decision on whether to participate in each ICO in an informed manner. The Odin platform also provides a news media portal that provides up-to-date information on ICOs around the world, regulations on virtual currencies, future ICO projects, virtual currency, blockchain related news, and more.

The environment surrounding virtual currencies and blockchain technology is changing dramatically day by day. For this reason it is difficult for most users to keep up-to-date with the industry not only on a daily basis but also due to language barriers as well. As access to available information is limited in some ways, problems arise when users participate in overly high-risk initial coin offerings. Whether it is because of mistakes which have happened in the past, users may miss out on golden opportunities in spite of having the chance to participate in innovative ICO projects. To overcome this problem, the Odin platform will aim to provide a one-stop news portal to keep users up-to-date with the latest industry trends and information on specific ICOs.

19

4.1.4 Comprehensive Analysis

Another important feature of the Odin platform is to provide comprehensive project analysis results for each listed ICO project. Odin WMA is planning to provide careful analysis and independent reviews for each ICO so that users can more accurately understand the project and make more informed decisions on whether to participate in the ICO, etc. Reviews of all ICO listed on the Odin Marketplace are posted and managed in accord with Odin WMA's own criteria and discretion. The Odin WMA criteria will be the result of a comprehensive analysis which includes potential risks involved in participating in the ICO, the regulatory situation of each country, company stability, future extensibility, the possibility of obscuring the project, and project feasibility. However, criteria may change according to the status of the ICO market at that time.

4.1.5 Odin Points, Subscriptions and Premium Service

On the Odin platform, users can not only access important information to support their decision-making, but also subscribe to selective content that has been screened by Odin WMA. Content will as far as possible be updated on a daily basis and include news on virtual currency, the blockchain, and ICO analysis reviews, etc.

The content should not only serve as an introduction for users unfamiliar with virtual currency and blockchain, but it should also be useful for intermediate and more advanced users. Also, as part of the subscription service, notifications will alert users to fluctuations in the token price, token and project status, changes in the ICO status, and updates on country regulations, etc.

Therefore, Odin users won’t have to get information on initial coin offerings themselves by visiting many different websites. Instead, users will easily be able to get the latest information on ICO projects they are planning to join or are already involved in from the Odin platform.

In addition, Odin users can subscribe to the premium service in exchange for Odin points which they may have collected. Based on the number of Odin tokens in the user's Odin wallet, Odin points are granted to users according to a points system defined by Odin WMA. Details of the points system will be announced after the Odin platform has commenced operations. Through the premium subscription users can choose the layer of service they wish enabling various functions such as the right to priority participation in confidential ICO projects (possibility of ballot in case of many applicants), access to pre-ICO token early discount information, preferential prices on pre-ICO tokens compared with ordinary users, and selected ICO news feeds, etc.

We would like to deliver a wide range of useful information on virtual currencies including information on existing virtual currency news and mining in addition to the information given on initial coin offerings. Through effective information communication and an increase in functionality, we hope the Odin platform will become the most trustworthy news outlet.

4.1.6 Various Virtual Currency Related Services

The Odin platform is intended to be a platform which enables users to purchase various virtual currency services and products. That is to say we are considering offering other services and products related to virtual currency, not just ICO tokens. One of these products and services we are intending to offer is a virtual currency mining machine.

Virtual currencies control integrity by adding all transaction records to the transaction ledger at fixed times. The process of adding transaction records requires an enormous amount of computational power to record the consistency between the transaction ledger data distributed up to the present time on the network with all the transaction data which has occurred during the time of adding the transaction record.

In short, the virtual currency maintains credibility by borrowing volunteer computer resources to do vast amounts of computing and registering to one large transaction ledger which is shared by everyone.

Newly issued virtual currency is paid as a reward for those who lend their computer resources to do this enormous calculation processing, and as a result succeed in adding to the transaction record. This is called mining because from the perspective of the huge computational exertion required it resembles mining of virtual currency.

A virtual currency mining machine is a generic term for computers created to more efficiently mine virtual currencies. Odin WMA is conducting its own research into mining machines and we are aiming to provide the best virtual currency mining machines in the near future.

As mentioned above, including mining, Odin WMA will examine all information on the virtual currency industry moving forwards and endeavor to expand the lineup of services and products offered on the Odin platform. Odin WMA would also like to offer the finest, state-of-the-art products including AI related products which will at some point most likely be used in future investment scenarios.

4.1.7 Other Products & Services

In addition to Odin WMA's own products and services, the Odin platform is also planning to deal with products and services of other companies and projects that have passed Odin WMA’s rigorous reviews.

For users of the Odin platform, the opening of a wider range of doors without closed choices as mentioned before will lead to an attractive market for companies and projects that wish to offer products and services on the Odin platform. We believe that this synergistic effect will create opportunities for more users to be exposed to more diversified products and services from around the world.

The Odin platform wants to provide users with a suitable place and opportunity to purchase not only virtual currency but also these leading-edge products and services.

4.2 About Odin Token

For those who support the construction, development and promotion of the Odin platform by owning Odin tokens, in addition to the right to use the Odin platform with its many innovative functions as described above, we are planning to offer all sorts of benefits (Odin Premium Service) on the Odin platform to users, and we plan on expanding these benefits according to future circumstances.

Page 21: ODIN · as a wealth of experience of software systems based on ... by the ancient Germanic ... - Odin is developed and maintained by an international

21

As for the specific content of the Odin token, since it is almost synonymous with the contents of the Odin platform mentioned above it will not be discussed in detail here, except that the following provides some explanation of the important points with some additional information.

4.2.1 Premium Services including Priority Pre-Sales

As described above, Odin points are awarded to Odin token holders at fixed times and according to the calculation method set out by Odin WMA depending on the amount of Odin tokens held in the investor’s Odin wallet. By using their points Odin point holders will be able to gain the right to priority participation in confidential ICO projects (possibility of ballot in case of many applicants), get access to pre-ICO token early discount information, receive preferential prices on pre-ICO tokens compared with ordinary users, and get selected ICO news feeds, etc.

In recent cases, for most ordinary investors, even though investor interest is very high, information is not necessarily getting to these investors in order for them to get discounts at pre-sales. Although we cannot deny that there are no opportunities for them to participate, we would specifically like to offer these kinds of opportunities to participate as part of the Premium Service on the Odin platform.

By this, we regard the amount of Odin tokens held as one criterion of the amount of support towards the Odin platform and so we believe we should grant lots of Odin points to those investors who hold many Odin tokens. In this way, we would like to offer the possibility of giving all sorts of preferential treatment to people who hold more Odin points than those people who participate in general ICO crowdsales.

4.2.2 Premium Service Restricted Information

We are planning to provide information on new ICO token pre-sales and ICO on the Odin platform, limited to Odin token holders. This is also the content of the premium service. This is different from the information users would get on other platforms. For example, the Odin platform will not only post ICO white papers and websites, but also conduct interviews surrounding the subject of ICO and post them. We will independently examine and provide diverse and full ranging information to Odin token holders.

4.2.3 Payment Methods on the Odin Platform

Odin tokens can not only be used to make payments as a means of payment among many on the Odin platform but also, as a part of the premium service, we plan to offer benefits such as discounts on payment fees on the Odin platform to meet certain criteria for token holders.

4.2.4 Summary

Even though this is considered to be an attractive service for general investors who do not normally have the opportunity to participate in many new ICO token pre-sales, these benefits are just a part of the premium service on the Odin platform at the current time. In addition, under existing regulations, the content of the premium service, such as those that can be evaluated as falling under the ownership rights or dividends on the Odin platform, which can be obstacles in listing Odin tokens on the virtual currency exchange are not assumed.

22

Within the Odin platform, the Odin server acts as an intermediary interface with several components interacting together. Components that make up the Odin platform include the Odin server, user applications, the listing portal, the Odin WMA admin portal, and the Ethereum blockchain. After looking at user registration and KYC on the Odin platform, we describe below the details of each component making up the Odin platform.

5.1 About User Registration and KYC

By registration and providing KYC documentation on the Odin platform, users will thereafter not be required to register and provide KYC documentation when participating in any initial coin offerings (however, with respect to the KYC process and tightening regulations the updating of information may be required). In order to comply with worldwide compliance regulations the KYC process on the Odin platform is designed to collect more than the necessary documentation needed for participation in a general ICO.

This process is done in the following way.

(1) Users enter all necessary information for the KYC process on the Odin platform and register it with the system along with a copy of their ID.

(2) KYC application information for each user submitted through the system will be manually reviewed by Odin WMA.

(3) Users approved after reviewing will be able to create Odin Wallets and will be able to use them to hold Odin tokens and receive Odin points.

(4) After creating an Odin Wallet, users receive a public key and a private key.

(5) By using the public key, users can transfer purchased ICO tokens or Odin tokens purchased on the exchange into their Odin Wallet.

The Odin platform will simplify the process for collecting personal information and KYC documentation required for the different criteria with each ICO project. User information registered on the Odin platform is shared with every ICO company that conducts token sales on the Odin platform in accordance with criteria set by each ICO company. As a result, as long as users join the ICO token sale through the Odin platform, users do not have to register or submit KYC documentation for each and every ICO project.

User information passed on to ICO companies is restricted to the Odin wallet address, the number of pre-ICO tokens to purchase, and the information required for KYC approval.

5.2 Technical Specification

Figure 5.1: Technical Overview

5.2.1 User Applications

The Odin platform plans to develop a web application and mobile application for users who wish to participate in pre-ICO sales. We are first planning to provide services for android devices followed by iOS.

Through these user applications users will be able to:

(1) Purchase pre-ICO tokens with Odin tokens

(2) View update information on each ICO project screened by Odin WMA

(3) Follow the most popular news feeds on ICO, virtual currency, and blockchain

(4) Check Odin token transaction history and balance

(5) Acquire Odin points and check point balance

By providing the features above, it not only makes it a valuable marketplace for both users and ICO companies, but compared with the most basic ICO participants Odin users need only access a single platform creating the advantage of being able to access useful information on ICO projects without any language barriers. This in turn leads to being able to participate in initial coin offerings more quickly and effectively.

Page 24: ODIN · as a wealth of experience of software systems based on ... by the ancient Germanic ... - Odin is developed and maintained by an international

24

To use the Odin platform, Odin tokens must be purchased in Ethers. Pre-ICO tokens listed on the Odin marketplace are exchanged using the virtual currency exchange or Odin tokens purchased at the Odin ICO.

Figure 5.2: Mockup of Odin Platform in mobile

5.2.2 Listing Portal

The listing portal provides a clean and simple navigation portal for ICO companies. ICO companies will be able to do the following through the listing portal:

(1) Register ICO projects on the Odin Marketplace

(2) Set token price and number of tokens allocated to Odin users

(3) Add information for the project, media, and development teams

(4) Get latest news and media feed on projects

(5) Search for new business opportunities within the blockchain community

By providing the features above on the Odin platform, we provide a place of exchange for the blockchain community and influencers. Free access to information on ICO projects will create a strong relationship of trust between the project team and the community and will be the cornerstone for working together towards project success. This will help to maximize the development of ICO projects. Through working together at this place of exchange, both the ICO project team and community will create opportunities for increasing the certainty of ICO project development success.

Page 25: ODIN · as a wealth of experience of software systems based on ... by the ancient Germanic ... - Odin is developed and maintained by an international

25

5.2.3 Odin WMA Admin Portal

The Odin WMA admin portal is the Odin WMA administration portal. Odin WMA as platform administrators carry out the following admin roles through the Odin WMA admin portal.

(1) Review posted ICO project applications

(2) Analysis of ICO applications and documentation of analysis results

(3) Review KYC applications

(4) Set Odin points reward system

(5) Monitor activities on the Odin Marketplace

One of the features on the Odin platform which should be most emphasized is that it provides analysis and analysis results for each ICO project to support decision making on such things as whether or not users should participate in the initial coin offering. Analysis results from Odin WMA and industry experts will be documented through the Odin WMA admin portal and sent to Odin users. Users of the Odin platform will be able to access all this information on the Odin platform.

5.2.4 The Ethereum Blockchain

The Odin platform uses a blockchain technology called Ethereum Blockchain (details of which are described later) and the Odin tokens are ERC20 compliant Ethereum tokens. All transactions which use Odin tokens are recorded on the Ethereum Blockchain and can be checked with the Odin wallet application or Etherscan.

The Odin wallet application comes with the following two basic features:

(1) Transfer Odin token to ICO company

(2) Grant Odin points

The Odin wallet application is a tool for users to purchase ICO tokens using Odin tokens. The user transfers Odin tokens to the ICO company in which they want to participate in. The exchange rate between Odin tokens and ICO tokens is predetermined by Odin WMA. Users holding Odin tokens in their Odin wallet can signal a request to buy ICO tokens by selecting the number of ICO tokens they want to buy from within their Odin token balance and entering the desired purchase price. After signaling a purchase request, the ICO company issues a token to the user's Odin wallet address according to the predetermined terms of agreement between the ICO company and Odin WMA.

Users holding Odin tokens in their Odin wallet will be given Odin points as an added benefit. (On condition that certain arbitrarily specified conditions are met.) This will act as an incentive for ICO participants and new ODIN platform users to transfer and keep Odin tokens in their Odin wallet.

It should be noted that points are only awarded to those users who meet Odin WMA conditions and who maintain more than a minimum balance in their Odin Wallet. Odin points are not granted for Odin tokens stored on exchanges or in personal wallets.

Users of the Odin Wallet maintain full control (private keys will be managed by users themselves) over their Odin tokens held in the Odin wallet application.

Page 26: ODIN · as a wealth of experience of software systems based on ... by the ancient Germanic ... - Odin is developed and maintained by an international

26

Odin tokens are tokens used on the Ethereum blockchain. Odin token transactions use the Ethereum blockchain network. It should be noted that users are required to pay Ethers as a fee for using the network. In the long term, the Odin core development team is aiming to find and implement ways away from this model so that transactions can be made without having to make payment in Ethers. However, this is a long-term goal and the Odin core development team hopes to implement this function during future upgrades of the Odin platform.

5.2.5 Odin Servers

Odin servers host all three applications: 1. User Application, 2. ICO Listing, and 3. Odin WMA Admin Portal, and connects to the Ethereum blockchain via Odin token smart contracts.

The Odin platform is represented in the following architecture. (Figure 5.3)

More accurate and detailed technical specifications are explained in the Odin Github. High levels of confidentiality, access management and database security levels are set particularly high with regards to user information.

Furthermore, in order to provide more services in the future on the Odin platform, the server architecture has been designed in modules for easy extension.

The server supports the above mentioned functions and constructs the mechanism to smoothly link information between applications while minimizing processing time.

Figure 5.3 The Odin technical architecture

Page 27: ODIN · as a wealth of experience of software systems based on ... by the ancient Germanic ... - Odin is developed and maintained by an international

27

5.3 The Development Process

The development of the Odin project is represented in the flowchart below (Figure 5.4).

The Odin platform is developed, tested and implemented by the Odin core team. Odin WMA (Odin Core Team) plans to communicate with communities interested in the Odin project through communication tools such as Telegram and Reddit, etc. By interacting directly with the user community through these kinds of open communication tools, Odin WMA is confident that the Odin platform will be a better platform for users. User community members can also communicate directly with Odin WMA through other social media channels such as Facebook and Twitter.

Figure 5.4: Odin team’s development process

Through communication with the user community, Odin WMA can work closely with potential users, picking up and testing ideas, understanding their needs, and managing resources appropriately. In so doing we believe that further development of the Odin platform will follow. In other words, by interacting with the user community and by communicating with potential users we can develop and improve the Odin platform closely to the needs of the users, which in turn will increase the chances of success for each ICO project.

In this way, Odin WMA business analysts, along with feedback from the community, will work with the Odin Core Development Team to examine the requirements of every feature the community demands. By doing this we aim to properly strike the balance between the development resources needed for implementing the functions required by users and the feasibility of implementing those functions.

Ideas approved by Odin WMA and the Odin core team are listed on the JIRA application and effectively managed until the functions are implemented on the Odin platform.

6.1 About Ethereum-Based ICO

Odin will implement an Ethereum-based ICO (ERC20 compliant).

The Ethereum blockchain is the second most popular blockchain in the world after Bitcoin. Released in beta format in 2015, it is an open source software project.

It provides a decentralized Turing complete virtual machine, namely the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM), which can be used to execute scripts termed as Smart Contracts.

In a word, Smart Contracts are protocols which achieve automatic contracts. They are protocols which make it possible to automatically execute the process from the establishment of a contract to the implementation and constructs of a decentralized service in which users conduct direct transactions.

Although there are various languages which describe Smart Contracts, the most popular language at the present time is called Solidity. It is a Turing complete contract description language, and the core business logic of decentralized application (DApp) is coded into it.

The EVM executes Smart Contracts described by languages such as Solidity and outputs an Ethereum address that can be called by anyone around the world (with predefined authority) to interact with the functions on the contract. Any interaction with a smart contract that results in variables’ change of state requires a certain amount of transaction fees (fees vary according to time) to be paid out in Ethers, the internal currency, to the miners (the public nodes maintaining the network). This transaction fee is known as gas and it acts as an incentive for the miners who are mining Ethereum and contributing to the workings of the network.

Because EVMs are individually sandboxed (all are isolated from each other), the main body of the Ethereum blockchain and Smart Contracts are not fundamentally affected by code bugs from other individual Smart Contract accounts and so stable EVM operation is possible. On the other hand, we believe this is also linked to flexibility in design of Ethereum-based ICO tokens and Smart Contracts which is a major reason why Odin WMA will hold an Ethereum-based ICO this time.

During ICO crowdsales conducted on the Ethereum blockchain, token sale contracts will provide an Ethereum address which has the capability to accept funds from the public. For smart contracts, this Ethereum address is coded to accept the token value of funds in Ether. Upon reaching the funding goal, funds are transferred to the sale owner’s Ethereum address. In exchange for this, tokens are distributed to the investors (or contractors) who paid the price based on the Smart Contract. In the case of a failed fundraising, or any other emergency scenario, smart contracts are coded to allow investors to recover their funds after the funding period.

It is important to note that funds are accepted only in Ether and no other currency for crowdsales conducted on the Ethereum blockchain.

Odin Token Sales 6

Page 29: ODIN · as a wealth of experience of software systems based on ... by the ancient Germanic ... - Odin is developed and maintained by an international

29

6.2 Odin Token Sale Planning, etc.

In order to distribute Odin tokens to the public, Odin WMA will hold an Odin token sale (hereinafter referred to as "the ICO"). The ICO will start on 25 April, 2018 at 00:00:00 CEST/GMT+2) and end on 25 July, 2018 at 23:59:00 (GMT).

Before the ICO, Odin WMA plans to hold an Odin token pre-sale (hereinafter referred to as "pre-sale").

The funding target (and maximum funding limit) for the ICO and pre-sale is set at 20 million USD in total. If the amount of funds raised by the ICO and pre-sale do not reach the funding target, purchase applications for these tokens cannot be withdrawn. Furthermore, Odin WMA will promote business related to the Odin platform (in which case, with regards to another token sale, and changes to the business schedule, etc. we will make separate considerations dependent on the amount of funds raised and, when it reaches the situation where it can be made public we will announce it according to the method Odin WMA deems appropriate at the time).

The figure above shows the number of tokens distributed during the ICO as well as the number kept in reserve. During the token sale (pre-sale and the ICO), 65% (130 million) of the 200 million tokens will be sold to general customers, 15% (30 million) will be paid out as business partner compensation and expenses, and 20% (40 million) will be retained internally as Odin WMA's reserve.

6.3 Global Marketing

Regarding the marketing of ODIN tokens, we would like to promote globally with the view to attract a wider audience to the ODIN platform. However, from the points we have described so far, we are aware of the fact that regulations on virtual currencies differ depending on the country and region and we will therefore proceed carefully with specific attention to these regulations.

Odin WMA will not sell Odin tokens to residents living in jurisdictions where the possibility of buying or the holding of Odin tokens is prohibited, or to jurisdictions or residents living in jurisdictions where Odin tokens would be deemed to fall under the classification of Securities.

Figure 6.2 Odin Distribution of tokens

Page 30: ODIN · as a wealth of experience of software systems based on ... by the ancient Germanic ... - Odin is developed and maintained by an international

30

The use of the funds raised by the token sale will be as follows:

• Development of the Odin platform

• Development of Odin tokens

• Odin security management

• Construction of ICO review system

• Construction of ICO translation service

• Construction of Odin customer support system

• Preparation for listing on each country's virtual currency exchange

• Costs related to virtual currency exchange approval

• Preparation for alliances with companies in various countries

• Payment to consulting companies

• PR and marketing of Odin services to each country

Budget Allocation 7

Page 31: ODIN · as a wealth of experience of software systems based on ... by the ancient Germanic ... - Odin is developed and maintained by an international

31

Purchasing virtual currencies and ICO tokens has its dangers and there are certain unavoidable risks. In addition to what is described separately in this white paper, these risks include market volatility due to the balance of supply and demand and other factors, security vulnerability (not only cracking on exchanges but also risk of cracking against owner terminals such as virtual currency), risk of losing value of raised funds (risk in losing funds altogether and risk in losing the value of raised funds, etc.), risk of losing tokens (due to external hacking, inadequate management of owners’ passwords, etc.), the risk that platform development and platform services do not progress as planned (or the schedule is changed or modified afterwards), the risk of failure or unexpected operation of the Ethereum protocol, and legislative constraints (including changes to ex post facto regulations) and others.

Virtual currency market prices are highly volatile, as evidenced by the huge fluctuations of Bitcoin prices in January 2018, which is considered the most stable currency in the virtual currency market. Unauthorized access to digital wallets and virtual currency exchanges can lead to a violent drop in the price of the virtual currency, and such events are notoriously unpredictable, which places the onus to follow news of the virtual currency community on the investor. In addition, investors must also be aware that the polarizing nature of virtual currencies can lead to detrimental governmental actions affecting the performance of virtual currency in the market such as those put forward by China and South Korea from 2017.

Users who are unfamiliar with virtual currency (do not have adequate knowledge of managing or trading virtual currency) may also be prone to store their virtual currency assets using insecure methods, or use exchange platforms as their primary methods of holding virtual currency. While it is indeed the investor’s responsibility to research and understand methods of protecting their own digital assets when using the Odin Wallet, the Odin platform also has a role to play in mitigating some of these risks. For example, as mentioned above, we recognize the creation of a security system against cracking as an important concern on the Odin platform. Although we have mentioned security management as an intended use of funds raised, we would also like to devote our efforts to educational activities through media information for the benefit of users on the Odin platform.

The Odin platform (Odin WMA) does not have the authority to directly manage the trading of users' virtual currencies. Odin platform users will have access and control of their virtual currency at any time so they can fully manage their trades. It is easy to execute trades so as to make direct accessibility between users possible through the use of the above-mentioned Ethereum blockchain and smart contracts, however Odin WMA is still mindful of eliminating risks of embezzlement, etc.

Risk 8

Page 32: ODIN · as a wealth of experience of software systems based on ... by the ancient Germanic ... - Odin is developed and maintained by an international

32

The image below shows the provisional project timeline of the Odin platform. It is anticipated that the crowdsale will commence in 25 April 2018, and the Odin platform, including the Odin wallet v1.0, will be officially launched in 26 July 2018. Odin WMA will make occasional announcements through appropriate means regarding the functions available on the Odin platform.

The Odin platform is a platform which aims to improve upon the problem of current ICO token buying and selling, (although of course there are legal limitations in each country, etc.) promotes ICO tokens and the sale and purchase of virtual currency to the people of the world, and encourages the formation of new markets and economic spheres. On this platform, people from all over the world will be able to get appropriate information regardless of their native language. Users of the Odin platform can play a critical role in supporting future ICO tokens. And the Odin platform will be an innovative platform that will equally provide excellent ICO token information from various countries and regions around the world to any platform user who can participate legally. However, Odin WMA will continue to make constant efforts to ensure a more favorable position among owners of Odin tokens so that they may enjoy the fruits of the premium service on the Odin platform.
