 through the Circle Alliance Program, our global partnership and alliance program, as well as worldwide industry and event sponsorships. The Circle Alliance Program was established based on our recognition that we do not have sufficient resources to partner directly with all (or even a majority) of the companies that are interested in using or offering Circle stablecoins and related products and services. Through the Circle Alliance Program, we manage and seek to expand our partnerships (see “—Our platform, products, and ecosystem—The Circle stablecoin ecosystem” for examples of the partners and parties in the Circle stablecoin ecosystem) and intend to allow smaller companies to co-market and co-brand with us. |

For example, different applications use different blockchains, many blockchains require payment of fees in native tokens to affect transactions, and many wallet applications require users to remember seed phrases and hexadecimal wallet addresses. Our blockchain infrastructure and Developer Services are designed to abstract away these complexities and simplify both the developer and end-user experiences. |

| • |     | Foster the Web3 ecosystem to catalyze innovation and develop new utility. The utility and value of the Circle stablecoin network will grow as developers and businesses develop new products and services that excite their (and our) end-users. We are in the earliest days of Web3 innovation, and it is likely that the most impactful of such products have yet to be invented. We play a role in nurturing and growing this ecosystem of developers. We build developer
