INTRODUCING

The creation of Crypto Valley was inspired by the enormous advantagesof global industry clusters — a friendly regulatory environment, network
effects, economies of scale, attracting the world’s best talent, building
deep pools of capital and a rich ecosystem of resources and know-how forstartup companies, nurturing an entrepreneurial culture, infectious energy,
and strong trust relationships that make the impossible possible.
Through the broad support of numerous individuals, startups, corporates,
service providers, industry associations, educational institutions,
governments, and regulators — especially the early pioneers Monetas,
Ethereum, Bitcoin Suisse, MME Legal, the Digital Finance Compliance
Association, the Bitcoin Association of Switzerland, Lucerne University ofApplied Sciences and Arts, the canton and city of Zug, the Greater Zürich
Area, Switzerland Global Enterprise, the Swiss Financial Market Supervisory
Authority (Finma), and the Swiss Federal Government — Crypto Valley has
grown into one of the world’s leading ecosystems for crypto, blockchain, anddistributed ledger technologies, with dozens of companies in this space now
calling Crypto Valley home and thriving in its vibrant community.
In January 2017 the Crypto Valley Association was established as aprofessional organization to coordinate, accelerate, and scale the further
development of Crypto Valley into the world’s best ecosystem for crypto
technologies and businesses. The founding members included Bitcoin
Suisse, Bussmann Advisory, iprotus, Lucerne University of Applied
Sciences and Arts, Luxoft, Monetas, and Thomson Reuters.

PLATINUM SPONSORSTo see widespread adoption, blockchains need to support thousands oftransactions per second, scale towards millions of users, offer negligible
transaction fees and confirm within a second. Liquidity Network tackles
Blockchain scalability by enabling secure, instant, trustless and fasttransactions with zero blockchain fee. The secret sauce is the designof efficient payment commit-chains. The blockchain is only used as arecourse in case of disputes. Most transactions are performed off-chain
and are therefore cheaper and the settlement is much faster. We believe
in a more open financial system where intermediaries such as exchanges,
wallets, and banks are non-custodial. Therefore, we are putting backcontrol into users hands.
