1.0 THE PROBLEM

A monumental
leap for global
banking and
eCommerce

Nauticus provides user-friendly, efficient

and secure crypto banking, payments and
eCommerce solutions utilizing blockchain
technology, underpinned by
the Nauticus Coin.

 THE PROBLEM
Cryptocurrency exchanges pose a high barrier to
entry for everyday people. They’re bafflingly complex
for novices and most exchanges provide for just a
single fiat currency — if they allow for fiat at all. Users
often need to sign up to half a dozen exchanges
to be able to buy all of the different altcoins they
wish, resulting in hefty fees moving from fiat in one
marketplace, to crypto in another. Cryptocurrency
is hard to spend in the real world and the industry is
poorly regulated with attendant risks to user funds.

THE OPPOR TUNITY

Solving these issues presents enormous
opportunities. The total market cap of
Cryptocurrency Foreign exchange
trading fees trading fees cryptocurrencies increased from $26 billion a year
ago to around $350 billion today. With 100,000
new users signing up to exchanges each day, and
major players such as Binance earning hundreds of
millions in fees, there are unprecedented prospects
to capitalize on this explosive growth. Increasing
Payment
processing fees regulatory oversight will provide security and stability,
and spur mainstream adoption.

THE SOLUTION
The Nauticus Exchange is designed to be the only
exchange users ever need — a one stop shop offering
300 cryptocurrencies and 16 fiat. Users from around
the world will be able to buy whatever crypto they
wish using their own nation’s money.
The Exchange will also enable users and merchants
to send and receive payments internationally — like
PayPal and Western Union combined, but with much
lower fees and live market rates. More than 200,000
users have already signed up to the platform and
Nauticus is registered with Australian Government
regulator AUSTRAC.

2 .0 E XE C UTIVE S UMMARY

This white paper provides a comprehensive insight into the Nauticus Initial Coin Offering (ICO),
running from March 31 to July 18, 2018.

One coin for six innovative solutions, aimed at all types of users, from individuals to businesses, and
every level of government.

Nauticus provides user-friendly, efficient and secure crypto banking, payments and eCommerce
solutions utilizing blockchain technology, underpinned by the Nauticus Coin.

The Nauticus crypto and fiat currency exchange is in development and due to open in August 2018.
It will trade in 100 cryptocurrencies at launch, and more than 300 within 12 months — including Bitcoin,
Ethereum, Ripple, Nauticus Coin and many others. Nauticus Coin users will receive 50 percent discount
on trading fees in the first year, which will spur the adoption of the coin and support its value.

More than 200,000 users registered in the first five weeks after the project was publicly
launched.

Nauticus will also establish a sustainable blockchain mining center in 2019 to provide revenue, along with
sizeable server capacity to ensure ultra-fast processing for users of Nauticus services.

Profits from the exchange and mine will be reinvested in the business to support the subsequent
development of a low-cost eCommerce platform, along with merchant and peer-to-peer payment
options. The company will also develop a ‘one and done’ Know Your Customer (KYC) verification service
and create an ICO community with a range of resources and services for new ICOs along with a quality
verifcation system.

The Nauticus Coin will underpin all of these exciting solutions. The ICO target is $68 million and the soft
cap was exceeded during the presale period. The ICO will run until the hard cap of $88 million has been
reached, or until the conclusion of the ICO on July 18, 2018.

businesses of all sizes, as well as local, state
and federal governments.

At the same time, we want to help to create

a better world for everyone, especially the
underprivileged. We are strongly focused on
social responsibility and philanthropy.

Nauticus will use its influence and global

community to bring about change to those
who need it the most. Improving living

International crypto and

fiat currency exchange
High-speed currency exchange, enabling ICO backers
to immediately trade Nauticus Coins with 100 crypto
and seven fiat currencies (USD, EUR, JPY, HKD, AUD,
CNY and ZAR). This will expand to 300 crypto and 16
MID-2018 fiat currencies within 12 months. Highly secure and
with a low exchange rate and fees, the platform will
be able to support a million transactions per second.
Combined with our Nauticus Wallet mobile app, users
of any device and in any country will enjoy fast and easy
access to their funds. The Nauticus Exchange will be
the foundation platform for the other Nauticus banking
and eCommerce solutions. The exchange is currently in
development and scheduled to open in August 2018.

Establish a green
blockchain mining center
Nauticus will open an environmentally friendly mining
center that provides cheaper and faster transactions
for Nauticus users. The center will generate revenue to
further expand our operations. The use of renewable
energy and highly efficient equipment will keep costs
low and help to deliver a social benefit for developing
2019
economies, providing employment and increasing
living standards. Part of the profits will be returned to
local communities to help with education and health.
Partnerships will be created with governments to
create sustainable projects and economic growth. The
mine will generate funds to support the subsequent
business expansion.
 eCommerce platform
Global marketplace with easy-to-use mobile interface
enabling instant payments in any currency, crypto or
fiat — underpinned by the Nauticus Coin. Businesses
of all sizes, and individuals (buyers and sellers) can
2020 use the platform with their Nauticus Exchange Wallet
and Nauticus Coins. Ultra-low listing, final value and
payment processing fees (as little as 0.1 percent)
combined with high security and a suite of measures
to ensure trust and protect against fraud. Includes
blockchain verification of supply chain to ensure
consumers have enough information to choose more
ethical and sustainable products.

Merchant payments
platform
Integrated with global payment POS software, Big
Data analytics and Artificial Intelligence (AI), and
underpinned by the Nauticus Coin, to create a
comprehensive business solution with analytic
support for enterprises and governments.
2021
Low-cost transactions (as low as 0.1 percent)
using Nauticus Coins and instant merchant fund
clearance. High-speed touch-to-go mobile
payments and peer-to-peer funds transfer.

Global KYC verification

Nauticus will become a global partner in Know Your
Customer (KYC), an identity verification system
that protects against theft, money laundering and
terrorism financing. Users only need to be verified by
Nauticus, and the company will then provide only the
2022 relevant information/data to other business partners
or organizations. Data sharing will be controlled and
authorized by the users through biometric identification,
allowing them to approve which sensitive information
third parties can access. The service will be free for
users with more than set number of Nauticus Coins. No
user information will be sold or provided to third parties
without authorization.
 ICO Gateway
Establish resources for new ICOs including IT templates
and code, financial and legal assistance, and consultants

2023 specializing in marketing, media, and HR. Launch of an

ICO register and quality seal of approval, based on new
ICOs meeting comprehensive code of conduct
requirements. This will support both the blockchain
community and help protect investors.

Licensing with banks and

governments as each
solution is implemented
Registration with international AML/CTF regulators, ONGOING
global credit reporting agencies, and securing an
international banking license. Establish funding for the
next stage of expansion and development. This is
already underway and will be an ongoing process. Total
cost for all six solutions is estimated to be around
$380 million USD.
5 .0 MA R KET

We are at the dawn of a new age in global markets. The world is changing rapidly with innovations in
blockchain technology moving us toward a fully digital economy that directly connects buyers and
sellers without intermediaries taking a cut. Transactions can now be carried out safely and securely,
faster than ever before, and at a fraction of the cost of banks or current online marketplaces.

Blockchain is fast becoming mainstream and has already been adopted by a number of major players
and financial institutions. In April 2017 Japan made Bitcoin legal tender, leading to a huge spike in its
price. Russia, China, Sweden and Israel are examining digitizing their currencies using Ethereum. The
Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME) and the Australian Stock Exchange (ASX) have announced they
are moving to blockchain for security reasons. In December 2017, the Commodity Futures Trading
Commission in the US approved a futures market for Bitcoin and in January 2018 XBT Investments
announced it will become the first Bitcoin investment company to list on the ASX.

“In January 2018 it was reported that exchanges were

signing up more than 100,000 new users each day”
Cryptocurrency daily transaction volumes have exploded from $100 million USD a year ago, to around
$30 billion USD today. That’s only set to increase – yet there are only about 170 active cryptocurrency
exchange platforms taking advantage of this explosive growth worldwide. In January 2018 it was
reported that exchanges were signing up more than 100,000 new users each day.

As more and more users adopt blockchain technology, the cryptocurrency market will begin to take
market share from the global FX volume. Around $5 trillion USD changes hands in foreign exchange
markets every day, with most trade conducted between approximately 23,000 banks.

The payment processing industry (PayPal, Alipay, etc) is worth $522 billion annually and is similarly ripe
for disruption from cheaper and faster blockchain based alternatives.

Nauticus has identified these three areas as key opportunities.

The future clearly belongs to blockchain; however, the sector is still in its infancy and offers early
investors the chance for immense gains as the technology continues to grow and provides improved
solutions to many exchange and transactional cases.

The Nauticus Crypto and Fiat Currency Exchange is in development and will open in August 2018.
The exchange will be the foundation platform for subsequent Nauticus banking, payments and
eCommerce solutions. The Nauticus Exchange will enable ICO backers to immediately trade Nauticus
Coins with other cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin, Ethereum, Ripple and more. Exchange users will
enjoy access across multiple platforms, including smartphones, tablets, and laptops.

It will initially offer 100 cryptocurrencies, projected to grow to more than 300 within 12 months —
exponentially more than most exchanges and putting Nauticus alongside the top ten worldwide. At
launch seven major foreign currencies will be supported: USD, EUR, JPY, HKD, AUD, CNY and ZAR,
which will expand to 16 fiat currencies within a year.

Nauticus Exchange will also offer global payment processing, allowing users and merchants to
send and receive payments — like PayPal and Western Union combined but with much lower fees
and live market rates. Nauticus is registered as an independent remittance dealer with the Australian
Government regulator AUSTRAC.

Bitcoin, Ethereum and the Nauticus Coin are the three key cryptocurrencies on the exchange and
will be in trading pairs with most of the 100 cryptocurrencies offered.

Nauticus Coin supporters should note this provides a credible mechanism to increase the
adoption and value of the token.

If a user wants to trade TRON for ZCash for example, they will first need to exchange their TRON
for one of the three key cryptocurrencies, and then use that intermediary currency to buy
ZCash. Users will buy the Nauticus Coin as the intermediary currency as it provides a 50 percent
reduction in trading fees over the other two options. Thus, it will be the preferred medium of
exchange.

Binance adopted a similar strategy which saw the Binance Coin shoot up in value by 22,660
percent in the first six months due to increased demand. All exchange coins have increased in
value. The Huobi token, which was only launched in mid-February at $1.58 and peaked at $2.59, a
64 percent increase in challenging market conditions. KuCoin Shares, launched in October last
year at 72 cents and peaked at $20.44 in January. That’s a 2,738 percent increase.

Our wallet technology allows consumers,

businesses, and governments easy currency
exchange payments, and settlements.
The platform incorporates state-of-the-
art security measures including two factor
authentication and biometric authentication
using smartphone fingerprint sensors,
voice and facial recognition. We also offer
compartmentalized wallets (cold and
hot wallet) protected by multiple layers of
encryption. The company is implementing
protocols for Nauticus staff to ensure
segregated human responsibility, approval,
and audits. We will further develop our security
suite of options to include more biometric
(using Voiceit), multi-signature access for
couples, partners or teams (using Bitgo),
and active backup of all transactions using
a hyper-ledger.

Around 90 to 95 percent of users funds will be

stored offline in highly secure, geographically
separated cold wallets to protect against any
loss of funds. The company has engaged
high-level ethical hacking firms specializing in
banking systems for ongoing security pressure
and penetration testing.

15
6.3 ULTRA-LOW FEES AND LIVE MARKET RATES

Because it connects buyers and sellers directly, Nauticus Exchange can offer much lower fees than
traditional banks — as little as 0.1 percent, with even lower fees projected in the future. Nauticus Coin
users will beneft from a 50 percent reduction in trading fees for the first 12 months. Those trading in
FX, or sending money overseas, will benefit from genuine market rates, rather than the retail rates
offered by banks and money changers.

“Users will benefit from a 50 percent reduction in trading

fees for the first 12 months”

6.4 SMART INTERFACE

The Nauticus Exchange offers a simplified version of the interface for mum and dad investors
looking to get started in cryptocurrency trading. It also offers a sophisticated interface with high-
end trading tools that can be tailored to the specific needs of traders, business, government or
individual users. These include a variety of interactive Tradeview charts (i.e. Japanese candlesticks,
moving averages, etc) with user preferences for their own desktop view able to be saved to their
profile. Metatrader tools will enable active traders to design their own robots for automated trading.

We will utilize help bots as well as set up a highly responsive customer support team to provide
users with any assistance they require. Before listing altcoins, Nauticus will implement a
comprehensive selection and screening process that examines the legitimate use case for the
token along with the size of the user base and demand. The on-boarding cost for each application
will provide additional revenue.

16
6 .5 CO MPETITO RS

There are approximately 170 competitors in this space. Around 100,000 new users are attempting
to join cryptocurrency exchanges each day and they are experiencing long delays in being verified
and signing up. In January 2018, several US exchanges stopped taking on new customers after the
enormous demand swamped their systems.

Nauticus has conducted a detailed study of three competing exchanges: Binance, KuCoin and Huobi.
These exchanges were selected for their similarities to Nauticus. They either opened or reopened
within the past 12 months, offer a wide selection of cryptocurrencies (100-plus) and each offers
its own digital token, the Binance Coin, KuCoin Shares and the Huobi Token.

The world’s number one exchange, as of March 2018 is Binance, which opened in July last year and
is growing by 750,000 users a month. It now has 6 million users, who trade $300 each per day (on
average as surveyed throughout March). This brings in revenue of $1,350,000 each day, which equates
to almost half a billion in annual revenue with their current discounted fees of 0.075%. (If trade volume
recovers to the levels seen in January, Binance will bring in more than a billion dollars in a year.) Huobi
is the No.2 exchange in the world, but is considerably more profitable than Binance, despite half as
many users (3 million) and half the 24-hour trade volume. That’s because Huobi’s higher fee of 0.2%
sees the exchange bring in $657,000,000 annually.

KuCoin, which opened in September last year, is well down the list in terms of popularity and is ranked
at No.32 by Coin Market Cap. On current figures it will bring around $21,900,000 this year from a $60
daily average user volume. KuCoin has a million users and is adding 166,000 new users each month.

6 .6 R E V E NU E A SS UMPTIONS

Although Nauticus aims to compete with Binance and Huobi, we have modeled conservative
revenue projections that assume Nauticus will only add new users at the same rate as KuCoin
and, furthermore, that this rate of growth will decline by 10 percent each quarter. We assume daily
trade volumes of $180 per user.

Note that it is impossible to accurately estimate what the size of the crypto market cap will
be in five years, so our projections assume everything else will remain the same. The crypto
market, however, is likely to be exponentially larger by 2023, along with the corresponding profits.

6 .7 C RY P TO EX CH A N GE REVENUE

Using these assumptions, we project annual revenue from cryptocurrency alone in the first 12
months of $48.03 million, growing to $135.5 million in the second year. By 2023, even with new sign
ups dwindling to just 67,000 a quarter, we estimate annual revenue will top a quarter of a
billion dollars.

The operating costs in the first 12 months have been budgeted at $16.81 million, with an additional
$2.4 million directed towards a sustained worldwide marketing campaign. We estimate a net profit
of $19 million.

Profits from the exchange will be reinvested in the business to develop our subsequent blockchain
mining, eCommerce and banking solutions. Operating costs in the second year will be $47.41
million growing to almost $90 million in 2022. Net profit will reach $106 million.

Unlike Binance, KuCoin and Huobi, Nauticus also aims to take a small cut of the $5 trillion foreign
exchange market. At launch, given the assumptions outlined above and in section 6.7, Nauticus will
not only account for 1.722 percent of the daily worldwide cryptocurrency trade volume, it will also take
0.004750 percent of FX trade volumes.

Although transferring money overseas using Nauticus isn’t directly comparable to Western Union,
it does share some similarities. Western Union has 150 million active users, each making 5.3
transactions a year with an average spend per transaction of $187.50. For illustrative purposes,
assuming 100,000 active Nauticus users at launch, and with a trading fee of 0.5 percent Nauticus
would bring in $3.66 million in the first year, although operating costs and tax would reduce this to a
profit of $420,000. By 2023, this would grow to an after tax profit of $19.4 million.

20
6 .9 PAY MEN T PRO CESSING REVENUE

The payment processing element of the business is a foundational stone of the exchange that will
be offered to users and merchants from the end of early 2019. It will also be incorporated into the
Nauticus Marketplace eCommerce platform in the same way PayPal was with eBay and Alipay was
with Alibaba. Our illustrative revenue projections are based on the Nauticus Exchange growth rate
and PayPal’s average quarterly transaction volume per user of $444.37. Starting with 100,000 active
users, and a 1 percent fee, we estimate revenue of $12.99 million in the first year, and net profit after
operating, marketing and taxes of $4.34 million. This is expected to grow to $69.01 million in revenue
($27.87 million net profit) by 2023.

More than 200,000 users have already registered with Nauticus. The global customer base is
geographically diverse and spread across 50 countries. Thirty-six percent of users are from the
Asia Pacific region and a quarter come from Europe. Ninety-five percent of Nauticus customers are
male; nine out of ten are aged 18-44 and users have an average monthly income of $5,343 USD.
Almost half are Millennials characterized by personality traits that fit well with our product offerings:
tech-savvy (Crypto Exchange, worldwide eCommerce), strive for transparency (‘one and done’ KYC
Verification), price sensitive (Merchant Payments Platform, low fees), creative problem-solvers (all six
solutions), advice-seekers (ICO Gateway) and go-getters (Crypto and Fiat Currency Exchange).

6.17 FU TU RE GROW TH

The Nauticus Exchange is the foundational platform for all of the subsequent Nauticus banking and
finance solutions. By early 2019 we will offer a comprehensive payment system to enable users to
transfer funds between each other, or make payments to external parties. This will develop into a
comprehensive payments and eCommerce ecosystem. Nauticus is registered as an independent
remittance dealer, enabling the transfer of funds out of the platform.

The technologies and systems we are developing will lead the future of the cryptoeconomy. These
include an AI price matching system to synchronize complicated multi-book currency exchanges.
As the exchange continues to develop, we intend to introduce financial instruments and investment
products in line with the appropriate regulation.

The exchange is the foundational platform

Nauticus is conducting ongoing research with our users and has extracted preliminary data from a
sample of more than 26,000 people.

C RYP TO E X C HA N G E
More than 80 percent of users expect to trade on the Nauticus Exchange at least monthly, with a third
saying they will trade every day. More than half expect they will trade $1000 or more each time. Almost
one in two cited better customer service as the reason they would shift exchanges. The majority of
users are interested in receiving educational material and news from Nauticus to assist them to trade.

7.0 BLOCKCHAIN MINING

The Nauticus blockchain mining center will commence operations using the Antminer S9 model
(or the most energy efficient mining model commercially available at the time of construction) and is
being designed around the principles of maximum energy and processing efficiency. Our team will
also work with semiconductor manufacturers in Singapore and Taiwan to design our own custom
made mining boards using ASIC processors to improve mining efficiency. More efficient machines
help to lower economic and environmental costs.

The center will also provide vital server capacity to support further Nauticus solutions and ensure
a cost-effective and timely experience for Nauticus users. Design and planning will commence
immediately after the finalization of the ICO, with the center expected to be operational in 2019.

30
Nauticus is firmly committed to environmental sustainability and social responsibility

7.1 SUSTAINABLE AND SOCIALLY RESPONSIBLE

Wherever possible, the founders intend to use low cost green energy – wind, solar or hydro – to
power the tens of thousands of machines Nauticus uses for mining cryptocurrencies.

The location of Nauticus blockchain mine sites will be chosen to provide maximum economic and
social benefit to communities in the developing world. We are currently examining a number of sites
in Malaysia. We will create employment and prioritize local residents to staff the center. Our
business aims to help lift people out of poverty.

A proportion of the mine’s profits will be directed at creating much needed water and sanitation
infrastructure and to support health and education initiatives.

The company has set an energy cost target of 3 to 8 cents per KW/h, which is easily achievable
based on existing market research. To put that in perspective, a single Antminer S9 consumes 1.375
KW/h, meaning it can run for an hour for approximately 5 cents.

7.2 ILLUSTRATIVE COSTS AND REVENUE

The size of the facility, and attendant construction costs, will be dependent on the results of the ICO
but for illustrative purposes, a small facility with 1500 Antminer machines would cost approximately
$6.8 million USD to set up. Ongoing costs, including electricity and staff, are expected to be around
$2.2 million. Total revenue generated in the first 12 months would be $3.1 million (at a Bitcoin value of
$8145, possibly substantially more in future). A facility with 15,000 machines would generate revenue
of $31 million. This revenue will support the expansion of the Nauticus business.

A proportion of the budget will be allocated to further research and development of more efficient
mining machines, along with more efficient renewable energy solutions. Other proceeds will further
the development of our payments and eCommerce solutions, or directed back to our users
via lower fees.

31
8.0 ICO PLEDGE

How we will
continue to
grow

The ICO will be used to implement

our operational plans and source new
talent from around the world. Nauticus
is developing cutting edge blockchain
banking and eCommerce solutions;
funds raised will support the launch of
the Nauticus Exchange in August 2018
and the establishment of the Nauticus
blockchain mining center.

Revenue generated from these

facilities will support the development
of subsequent business solutions.
The soft cap for the ICO was $8m
USD, which was surpassed during
the presale, meaning the Nauticus
Exchange will proceed. The hardcap is
$88m USD.

32
8.1 ICO UPDATE

More than 200,000 users registered on the site in the first five weeks after the project was
launched, providing an enormous potential customer base for the exchange.

Each of them has a strong incentive to utilize our services through the provision of a minimum of
100 free NTS and a 50 percent trading fee discount. Our social media campaign has seen almost
30,000 users ‘like’ our Facebook page, with another 28,000 following it. Twitter followers have
topped 10,000 and there is a healthy community of 9,500 highly engaged users in our
Telegram chat group.

Nauticus has received favourable coverage in wide range of media outlets within the blockchain
industry as well as Reuters, Forbes, various Fox Network affiliates and the International Business
Times.The independent cryptocurrency product review sites for Initial Coin Offerings (ICO) have
all given the company great reviews and positive feedback, averaging a score between four and
five for overall project quality.

U S E R B E NEFITS

Nauticus Coin (NTS) underpins our six business and banking solutions, creating an ultra-secure
medium of exchange between users. Nauticus is committed to the continuous development of
innovative new technology that will be supported by NTS with low transaction fees. The initial tokens
for use on the Nauticus Exchange will be created using the Ethereum network ERC20 guidelines but
Nauticus will research, develop and implement a new ledger system that supports greater transaction
volumes using the most efficient and scalable blockchain technology available (Nauticus is closely
examining NEM or Ardor for this). Any holding of Nauticus Coin will be mirrored by the new medium of
exchange.

A theoretical maximum of 2,500,000,000 Nauticus Coins are available. Tokens sold to users will
account for 80 percent of total supply; 8.5 percent of the token supply will be allocated to the core
team and another 1.5 percent will go to advisors (the percentage allocations will be in proportion to the
number of tokens sold to users). Ten percent of the total supply will be used in the referrals program.
At the end of the ICO any unsold or unallocated Nauticus Coins will simply not be created. All tokens
will be disbursed at the end of the ICO, and provided to the user’s designated wallet on our platform.
Purchased tokens can be used immediately; however, referral and gifted tokens are restricted to our
platform only (for example to pay for trading fees) for a period of two years after the end of the ICO.
After this period, they can be freely exchanged for other crypto or fiat currencies. The team’s coin pool
will be limited to releasing a maximum of 20 percent of their supply of coins in the first year, and 40
percent in each of the next two years.

SIGN UP AND REFERRAL PROGRAM

Everyone who signs up receives 100 free coins. In addition, each person
who registers before the end of the ICO will be given a referral link. Anyone
who clicks on the link and buys a minimum of 500 coins will be rewarded
with 100 extra free coins and so will the referee. The more people you refer,
the more free coins you will receive. There is no limit to the number of free
tokens users can receive for every additional referral.

ECOMMERCE

At Nauticus we envisage a future where

disruptive blockchain technology will see major
players such as eBay and Amazon forced
to drastically change their business models.
The Nauticus eCommerce platform will give
access to a marketplace for sellers and buyers,
providing a wide range of goods and services,
and accepting all the major crypto and fiat
currencies. It will be powered by the Nauticus
Exchange, our secure online payments system
and wallet.

At present buyers and sellers use major

marketplaces because their policies help
ensure safety and security. Free alternatives
such as Craigslist and Gumtree are beset with
scams and frauds, which forces merchants to
turn to companies such as eBay, despite its
high final value fee of 10.9 percent dramatically
reducing their profits.

10.1 E CO MMERCE: N AUTICUS MARKETPLACE

Based on blockchain and distributed ledger technology, the Nauticus Marketplace can offer the
safety of eBay or Amazon but with ultra-low fees. Sellers will be able to list goods for free as long
as they are active business users with a Nauticus merchant account.

The Nauticus Marketplace offers a decentralized blockchain based rating system for users,
merchants and businesses so those they have traded with can offer feedback to ensure trust
and reliability. There will also be a ratings and reviews system for verified purchasers of products.
The ratings system will be much more detailed and granular than traditional platforms, enabling
reviews of the entire supply chain and the components of a product.

Standard fees will be no more than 3 percent, but as little as 0.1 per cent for high
volume/high-trust users, or totally offset under the Nauticus Rewards program.

Our goal is to partner with major retailers to list their products and use blockchain verification
of their supply chain to ensure transparency so that consumers can select goods based on
environmental considerations, or the labor conditions under which the goods were produced.

We believe that giving consumers more information and power can help the
marketplace drive ethical consumption.

39
1 0 . 2 ME R CH A N T PAY MENTS PLATF ORM

Nauticus will offer an easy-to-use, low-cost solution for businesses and organizations of all sizes,
allowing merchants to accept the currency of their choosing (crypto or fiat). This makes them more
accessible to new and emerging customers while keeping their operations simple and easy.
Transactions occur at a fraction of the usual time, and fees will be multiple times lower than existing
competitors.

Businesses can implement these payment methods on their existing digital shopfronts or set up
online stores on the Nauticus Marketplace to take advantage of even lower transaction fees – as little
as 1 percent. Merchants can settle payments instantly, rather than weekly or monthly, and they no
longer need to worry about chargebacks and clearance times, all of which ensure more liquidity for
their businesses. Owners will also be able to facilitate payments for employees and suppliers via the
platform, regardless of the recipient’s desired currency.

1 0 . 3 R E TAILERS CA N ACCEPT ANY CURRENCY

Retail businesses will be able to accept both fiat and crypto currencies at point-of-sale through the
Nauticus mobile app, which will support contactless payment options integrated directly to the
Nauticus Exchange. The platform will also support the transfer of funds from users to a wide range
of banking facilities, and their family or friends. Nauticus will apply for licenses to operate in the 10
largest markets worldwide, as well as 10 key developing markets. We will subsequently partner with
businesses and governments to enable them to make best use of the system, which is expected to
be operational by mid-2021. Nauticus aims to facilitate a gross transaction volume in the first full year
of operations of $4.7 billion returning an estimated $197.1 million in revenue.

Know Your
Customer

Know Your Customer is a way for businesses, institutions and governments to verify the identity of
customers. KYC helps prevent theft, money laundering and the financing of terrorism.

Our vision is to become a global partner in KYC, supporting a network of businesses and
governments and giving users full control of their own personal data. The system will be fully
integrated into the Nauticus Wallet mobile app and enables users to go through the verification
process once and then manage the release of that information to organizations that require it.
Records will be permanent and unchangeable ensuring secure and accurate personal and identifying
information. It will be held on private distributed ledger systems managed by multiple server locations.
Being a decentralized institution-to-peer network, the only record of identification is stored with the
originator and the user.

Once verified with Nauticus, tokens are created to represent an individual identity. The original
documents will then be destroyed, and records of successful verification placed onto the blockchain.
Any changes by the user with the document originator (e.g. address change with driver license
authority) will be updated on the private distributed ledger accordingly.

Any business, financial service or other organization that requires access to user information will
request it from Nauticus. For example, if a phone company requires a credit history, they will request it
from Nauticus, which will send a message via the Nauticus Wallet smartphone app.

Users will be asked to authenticate themselves using biometrics (fingerprint, facial or voice
recognition) to authorize the release of the data. The phone company will then only be provided with
the relevant information and nothing more.

This will reduce the need for users to go through endless sign up and verification processes with each
new business, and the consequent risk of identity theft that comes from having many different copies
of their personal and sensitive information stored in disparate locations. Occasional reverification will
be required over time to replace expiring documents and ensuring changes are recorded.

The system will initially focus on credit scores and basic identification document storage. Nauticus will
partner with governments around the world to add capability for healthcare, criminal records, traffic
records, historical applications and other records.

Nauticus already places a strong emphasis on KYC, with layers of verification in place to protect our
users as well as the Nauticus’s brand. We comply with all KYC, AML, CTF guidelines and regulations.

The service will be free for users with more than 10,000 coins. Nauticus will never sell user data for
marketing purposes or provide information to third parties without authorization. The system will also
include a global credit scoring system.

Nauticus will build an ICO community and quality verification system. This will be a standardized
structure to support ICO owners and assist their launch onto the market. Nauticus will establish
resources for use by new ICOs including IT templates and code, financial and legal assistance, and
consultants specializing in marketing, media, and HR. We are developing a set of ethical standards
and a code of conduct that each ICO needs to satisfy in order to be verified by Nauticus and given a
quality seal of approval. This will help build trust for their brand and ensure ICO backers are not left
dissatisfied. ICOs we partner with will be also able to list their token or coin on the Nauticus Exchange,
providing extra liquidity for the sale period. We are putting our heart into building the blockchain
community together.
