, accordingly, may have conflicts of interest in allocating their time and in determining to which entity a particular business opportunity should be presented.” Market Overview We intend to focus on the greater blockchain and digital asset industry. The following are descriptions of key technologies used in the industry: Blockchain Technology— Blockchain technology utilizes an open, distributed ledger managed by a peer -to -peernetwork to record transactions between parties linked to the blockchain. The Bitcoin blockchain, and other blockchains such as those of Ethereum and Solana, can be thought of as public record books of digital asset transactions. These record books are “decentralized” in that they are copied and stored across a network of computers around the world. For example, the Ethereum Blockchain is a distributed public blockchain network focused on running the programming code of decentralized applications. These decentralized applications use self -executingcontracts, also known as smart contracts, to seamlessly facilitate activities on the Ethereum Blockchain. The smart contracts on the Ethereum Blockchain are powered by Ether, the Ethereum Blockchain’s native digital asset, which is also traded as a cryptocurrency. Accessing multiple blockchains and decentralized applications typically requires downloading complicated software specific to each blockchain and requires configuration decisions executed by technically skilled specialists. Methods of storing and leveraging digital assets are fragmented across multiple platforms compared to a traditional single hub. As a result, blockchain technology has a reputation of being difficult to access and use, and many of the current options for managing digital assets do not provide integrated or seamless solutions. Digital Assets— Digital assets include assets that are digitally represented on the blockchain such as tokens, non -fungibletokens (“NFTs”) and cryptocurrencies. Cryptocurrency— A cryptocurrency is a type of digital asset that exists on a particular blockchain and can be moved from one party to another party on that blockchain. A few relevant categories of cryptocurrency: 1. Store of value or “payment” cryptocurrencies: Store of value or “payment” cryptocurrencies are primarily used to pay for goods and services and are often considered a substitute for gold, cash or forms of electronic payment. Merchants have begun to accept these types of cryptocurrencies as payment, although overall adoption for retail and commercial services is currently limited and the cryptocurrency is often converted to a fiat currency, such as the U.S. dollar, immediately upon acceptance by the merchant. An example of a store of value and payment cryptocurrency is Bitcoin; 2. Cryptocurrencies that are part of blockchain economies: Cryptocurrencies that comprise part of a blockchain economy or blockchain platform, and typically have more functionality than a payment currency.
