Vision
Blockchain technology is revolutionising the world, both in business and how we interact with each other. Utilising this technology and combining it with traditional venture capital investment models, EQUI is an innovative offering that will disrupt conventional thinking in this space.

Proposition
EQUI is a utility token that will enable access to the EQUI investment platform once developed. All qualifying participants will be able to transfer their tokens to the platform and access an evolving selection of investment projects.
The EQUI proposition offers participants both flexibility and control in the making of investment decisions. EQUItokens can be bought for various reasons:

Investors : Investors are those participants who commit EQUItokens to the EQUI platform and apply their tokens to projects. The level of commitment is completely flexible and is determined by the investor’s appetite in a particular project.
Holders : Holders are those participants who transfer their EQUItokens to the EQUI platform but have yet to commit their tokens to projects. Holders will participate in the EQUI loyalty program, so long as their tokens remain on the EQUI platform.
Traders : Traders are participants whose EQUItokens sit outside of the EQUI platform. They have no access to the investment opportunities or the EQUI loyalty program and benefit only from any enhancement in the token price.

Tokens & ICO
Bonus incentives are provided to early adopters. The table below sets out the timetable for the launch of the ICO:

ASSET NAME:

EQUI

TOTAL TOKEN SUPPLY:

250 million EQUItokens

PRICE IN USD: $0.50

PAYABLE IN:

Bitcoins (BTC), Ether (ETH),

Litecoins (LTC), Ripple (XRP)

EQUI is launching an ICO for early adopters who wish to support our vision. Our token sale will enable the acceleration of technical development and all other aspects of the business, including infrastructure and additional personnel.

Token Distribution
The distribution of EQUItokens focuses on creating long term value for investors:

65% of the tokens will be made available to the public via the pre-sale and ICO process
12% will be distributed to the EQUI Founders, subject to a six month lock-in period.
15% will be distributed to the EQUI Team, quarterly, over a two year period, subject to a six month lock-in period.
6% will be distributed to the Advisory Board quarterly, over a two year period, subject to a six month lock-in period.
2% will be available for Bounty Rewards.

ICO Funding Distribution
A larger ICO raise would enable EQUI to accelerate growth within the business. This would include solidifying infrastructure to support growth and provide the resources required to mentor and support a larger number of investment projects.

A larger fund raise also reduces the impact of some of the minimum benchmark costs in addition to reducing the requirement in other areas as well as creating surplus funds within the business used to support the long-term value of the EQUItoken.

EQUI Platform

Platform Overview
EQUI will utilise the established Ethereum blockchain to process and store credentials, information and transactions, including the acquisition of project stakes, distribution of profits, deployment of investment returns and investor rewards.

REGISTRATION
The participant will complete the Know Your Customer (KYC) process to validate their eligibility to use the platform.

PROJECT INVESTMENT
Each project showcased on the Platform will be stored using a set of Smart Contracts that holds all information relating to the project, including estimated project maturity, targets and caps.

DASHBOARD
EQUItoken holders will be able to access a personalised dashboard that will provide details of EQUItoken reserves and invested projects

INVESTMENT RETURNS
Upon maturity of a project, returns are distributed in the relevant proportions as an Ether deposit into the EQUI wallet.

PLATFORM REWARDS - EQUITOKEN LOYALTY PROGRAM
Each year the EQUItoken supply will increase by 5%. These tokens will be sent to the EQUI Capital treasury account. At the EQUI Capital team's discretion, these tokens can be distributed to users as a loyalty promotion program.

Frequently Asked Questions
WHAT IS EQUI?
EQUI is the fusion of a new cryptocurrency with a revolutionary investment platform built on blockchain technology.

WHAT ARE EQUITOKENS?
EQUItokens are our new ERC20 tokens that will allow access to the EQUI platform and the ability to invest in EQUI projects.

IS EQUI CONSIDERED A SECURITY?
We have approached this question from a UK regulatory perspective, which is the jurisdiction the future EQUI platform will be subject to. Our opinion, supported by legal counsel, is the token itself does not constitute a security under UK financial services regulations.

IS THE EQUITOKEN SEPARATE FROM THE EQUI PLATFORM?
The EQUItoken is a blockchain facilitator which allows token holders to move their tokens on to the future EQUI investment platform.

HOW DO I USE EQUITOKENS?
EQUItokens give you the opportunity to invest into projects showcased on the EQUI platform, and receive a proportion of any profit. You may also simply hold the token for long term value or use it to trade.

HOW DO I BUY EQUITOKENS?
EQUItokens will be available from our website during our presale and ICO. Once the ICO has completed then EQUItokens will be available to purchase on selected exchanges.

ARE THERE ANY TRANSACTION FEES FOR BUYING EQUITOKENS OR INVESTING IN EQUI PROJECTS?
There are no fees payable to buy EQUItokens on the EQUI platform or for investing in EQUI projects.

HOW DO I INVEST IN PROJECTS?
As a token holder, you will be provided access to the EQUI platform, once it’s completed, and here you will be able to use your EQUItokens to buy a ‘stake’ in the projects that interest you.

WHAT IS THE EQUITOKEN LOYALTY PROGRAM?
The EQUItoken loyalty program is a means by which the EQUI Capital team encourages investors and token holders to continue participating actively on the platform. Only token holders who have invested in an active project on the platform, or who have EQUItokens uninvested on the EQUI platform, will be eligible for the EQUItoken loyalty program.

HOW WILL MY INVESTMENT BE RETURNED?
Any profit from EQUI projects is returned to the investors via a deposit of Ether to their EQUI wallet. The size and timing of the returns is dependent on the particular project and will be detailed in each project brief.

WHAT HAPPENS IF MY CHOSEN PROJECT FAILS TO REACH THE REQUIRED INVESTMENT AMOUNT?
Each project will have a set minimum investment target relevant to the project requirements. In the eventuality that a project has not reached the minimum required
