Benefits of Safinus

For experienced investors and cryptofunds

-Ability to create individual portfolios on the platform and establish joining criteria:

Creating a portfolio on the platform, an experienced investor or cryptofund can dramatically increase the amount of funds that are managed as well as personal earnings.

-Globalization of activities:

The platform allows portfolio managers to attract new investors not only from other countries or regions, but throughout the whole world. 

-Service customization:

Portfolio managers have the ability to offer different services to investors of various levels.

-Automated asset control strategies:

The platform allows for the automation of cryptocurrency trading with the goal of minimizing the portfolio managers time and energy spent.

-Ability to prove declared profits:

Portfolio ratings provided by the platform and openly available transaction information increase the amount of trust bestowed on a portfolio manager. 

For new investors

-No need to understand Blockchain, cryptocurrency, and ICO mechanisms:

Just a few clicks are needed in order to invest and then pick an interesting portfolio out of the ratings and join it. 

-An investor can verify that the earnings reported by a cryptofund are in fact authentic:

All transactions are recorded on the Blockchain, data is available every investment. 

-Investors face significantly smaller entry barriers:

Currently, it is unprofitable for cryptofunds to work with small capital. The platform, however, allows one to join a portfolio at a price of $100.

-Individual trusted management for large investors:

If an individual wants to invest over $100k, he can select a manager from the ratings and discuss the terms of agreement individually. After which, the portfolio manager can create a separate portfolio which the large investor can join.

Mechanism for individual trusted cryptocurrency management

If a large investor were to join the platform, a trader would be able to offer individual asset management services to that investor, creating a tailored portfolio and managing only his assets specifically.

Voting system for adding new cryptocurrencies and ICO's to the platform.

Currently, not all ICO's are fair and it may be quite difficult to distinguish a good project from a scam. Additionally, dishonest portfolio managers can use their own fake ICO’s to steal funds from investors. Therefore, Safinus created an internal voting system for the addition of ICO’s to the platform.


Only cryptocurrencies and ICO tokens that have been approved by the majority of traders and funds will be traded on the platform. Prior to investing portfolio funds into a specific ICO or cryptocurrency, the asset must pass through the platforms traders community. This is only possible if the asset receives a majority vote. It should be noted, that only portfolio managers can vote on the approval of the coins and tokens, therefore neglecting the possibility of adding low quality projects.

Thus, the platform protects portfolio investors from potential unethical and unfair actions of other platform participants.

Mechanism for simultaneous trading on multiple crypto exchanges through one interface

When searching for profitable deals, traders are often forced to utilize multiple cryptocurrency exchanges at the same time. This takes away a lot from the valuable resource of time.

The Safinus platform will be integrated with large cryptocurrency exchanges through its API. This will allow portfolio managers to gain access to a large quantity of orders and to close out deals with the most profitable prices.

Portfolio controllers are provided with orders from other exchanges if there are not enough required cryptocurrency orders on the Safinus internal exchange.

Traders can carry out operations on all exchanges that are integrated with the Safinus platform through its universal interface, saving time and optimizing their operations.

Technical Analytics Instruments and Strategy Automation for Cryptocurrency Trading

The Safinus platform takes into account a few instruments, which will simplify dealing with cryptocurrencies. This includes traditional technical tools that are used in the market for technical analytics, as well as automated processes, which allow for a more effective reaction to market changes and situations.

With the help of automated instruments, traders and funds can assign various logical constructions, which will allow them to not miss out on the opportunity to invest in a prospective ICO or to conduct a favorable crypto trade.

-Automation of cryptocurrency trade strategies: The opportunity to set up different “If” – “Then” conditions. For example, if the price of a cryptocurrency will remain over a specific price point during a set period of time, then a specific amount of the given cryptocurrency can be purchased.

-Automation of ICO token purchase strategies: The opportunity to establish the logical “If” – “Then” criteria is also available. For example, if the tokens of a specific ICO end up being 80% purchased, then a specific amount of token will be acquired..

Portfolio joining mechanisms, universal, portfolio rating system

1.Portfolio creation: First of all, experienced investors or professionals (traders and funds) create portfolios out of cryptocurrencies and tokens.

In order to create a portfolio, the following is required:

-Register on the platform, filling out the required information.

-Create a portfolio, describing the strategy which will be used to manage portfolio assets.

-Fill their SAF token balance to create portfolio.

2.Depositing personal funds into the portfolio: The portfolio creator deposits his own funds into the portfolio and distributes them across various cryptocurrencies and ICO tokens. The portfolio creator decides on the initial amount of funds that will be invested into the portfolio by himself. The greater the initial amount, the higher the trust that investors will have towards a portfolio, due to the fact that the portfolio manager is risking his own/personal funds as well.

3.Establishing portfolio joining criteria: The portfolio creator can establish criteria under which investors can join the portfolio. The creator can:

-Set fixed commissions for joining and leaving the portfolio.

-Set commissions from investor’s earnings.

-Set a minimum period of time that an investor can join the portfolio for.

4.Investor portfolio selection: Investors will study the ratings of the portfolios created on the platform, which will be based on transparent, Blockchain verified earnings and volume of managed funds.

Safinus automatically evaluates platform portfolios in USD based on exchange rates from popular exchanges (Poloniex, HitBTC, Bittrex). If a portfolio holds ICO tokens which have not yet been added to exchanges, their value will be based on the purchase price and will not change until the token becomes available for trading on exchanges. The value of portfolios is calculated on a daily basis; therefore, investors will always have up to date information pertaining to the value of a portfolio and its earnings.

5.Investor portfolio joining: In just a few clicks, investors can join any portfolio on the platform and add their capital to them. Investors can join multiple portfolios that they like at the same time.

6.Earnings of the portfolio manager:Portfolio creator’s earnings, from portfolio management, are based on a commission that they establish for each created portfolio individually. There are two types of commissions – a fixed commission for investors joining and leaving the portfolio (generally ranges from 0% to 5%) and a percentage from the earnings of investors from the portfolio (generally ranges from 10% to 30%). Earnings are fixated either when a portfolio is exited, or once a year (depending on what occurs first).

7.Investor’s Earnings: Investors gain a slice from the portfolio valuation based on their investment. Example:

The portfolio carries cryptocurrencies valued at $9,000.

An investor decides to join a portfolio, investing $1,000. Now, the sum total of the portfolio is $10,000, therefore, the investor now owns 10% of the portfolio.

Half a year has passed, the value of the portfolio has doubled and is now $20,000

The investor decides to leave the portfolio, fixating his earnings. This can be accomplished in just a few clicks. Due to the fact that he is entitled to 10% of the portfolio value, he will go on to receive $2,000 (before commissions and fees).

MISSION

The mission of Safinus is to make highly profitable investments in cryptoassets available to a broad audience of new entrants while allowing professional market participants to significantly increase their amount of managed assets and profits.

One of the main components of the Safinus platform is the unique portfolio joining mechanism. Which allows experienced investors and cryptofunds to create a cryptocurrency and ICO token portfolio on the internal Safinus exchange, which new investors can join in just a few clicks. The platform will provide a portfolio rating and provide a transparent reports on each portfolio. 

Problems & Solutions

There are exist large professional players within the market - cryptofunds. They demonstrate colossal profits in comparison to common traditional market metrics, but they run into a row of problems that stump their development:

1.First off, an absence of a regulatory framework in most countries leads to additional difficulty for cryptofunds to assure investors, especially outside the bounds of their regions, that their funds will remain secure. This seriously localizes their operations and limits the amount of new clients, especially from other countries. As a result, professional market participants are commonly restricted to working with local clients and experience difficulties in attracting new funds to manage.

2.Secondly, it's challenging for professionals to work with small investors, since communication costs with such clients frequently exceed profits. In order to avoid spending a mass of time on communicating with clients that invest small sums, they are forced to establish high entry barriers, which in turn decrease the amount of funds they manage, and as a result, profits. 

The recipe for a solution to these problems is the Safinus platform. The platform connects new investors and portfolio managers (experienced private investors and cryptofunds), erasing all barriers standing in the way of receiving high profits while providing all of the necessary conditions for a mutually beneficial cooperation. 

The Safinus Platform

-Allows experienced private investors and cryptofunds to significantly increase their amount of managed capital and profits thanks to the unique portfolio joining mechanism for new entrants. 

-Erases geographical borders, allowing cryptofunds to attract new clients from any corner of the world.

-Eliminates communication costs. 

-Allows new crypto market entrants to gain high profits with minimal risks and spent time.

-Creates a well knit community, which helps make the market more honest and transparent, while helping fight scams. 

-Gives participants the opportunity to develop, share knowledge and experience. 

The Safinus platform will bring cryptoinvestments to a new level!

The appearance of Safinus

Significantly raises profits of experienced investors and cryptofunds.

Helps globalization and the cryptomarket growth by making it easier for new entrants to get into the market.

The Safinus platform will not only grow together with the market but will become a catalyst for its development.

EQUI will source high-calibre investment opportunities in real world assets, next generation technology companies, and ventures with the capability of revolutionising markets. EQUI will champion innovators and support them by providing extensive business knowledge, guidance and insight to enable their venture to flourish.

On launch, EQUI participants will own tokens that can be traded on exchanges akin to any cryptocurrency. The ICO will enable the development of our EQUI platform, which will showcase the investment opportunities. EQUItoken owners will have the option to transfer their tokens to the EQUI platiform, allowing them to back emerging entrepreneurial companies, and potentially benefit from great investment returns and rewards.

VISION

EQUI is an innovative offering that will disrupt conventional thinking in this space. Backed by a board of successful and visionary entrepreneurs, EQUI harnesses a vast global network to identify exciting ventures that will excel from the injection of not just finance but also operational and strategic expertise.  EQUI is supported by a team of established and proven individuals who have experienced success in their field of expertise. This team of individuals will evaluate all investment opportunities to offer a carefully selected portfolio for our investors to consider. 

The focus for selection places an emphasis on technological advances and early stage ventures that address a significant market opportunity and offer the potential to grow into market leaders. Consideration will also be given to ventures that would benefit from the involvement of an expanded team, as well as a capital injection, in order to achieve accelerated growth. In time, a meaningful allocation of the investment portfolio will be deployed into ventures that have scalable ideas through utilising blockchain technology. The EQUI team will provide ongoing mentorship, resources, operational support and strategic advice to enable these ambitious companies to grow and succeed. This invaluable input will help to transform great ideas into reality, with the potential of generating high investment returns.

Our vision will be delivered through the EQUI investment platform, which will showcase evaluated opportunities. EQUItoken owners will have the ability to transfer their tokens onto the EQUI platform. Once on the platform, participants can use their EQUItokens to back projects and receive 75% of net profits realised on exit.

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. EQUI’s unique reward structure is weighted towards providing enhanced returns to those who share our vision and objectives in supporting the next generation of entrepreneurial success. 

SUMMARY OF INVESTMENT STRATEGIES & RETURNS

INVESTOR RETURNS

Investors who transfer their EQUItokens to the EQUI platform and commit to investment opportunities will benefit from 75% (pro-rata) of the net profits* generated from that invested project. There is no limit as to how many projects a participant can invest in - they can choose to invest in all projects showcased on the platform, or a selection that are of particular interest. Participants will have flexibility in the projects that they invest in and also with regards to the value they choose to invest, enabling complete control over investment decisions. This approach provides Investors with an ability to create a diversified portfolio of investment stakes representative of their interests and views. 

As an added reward for Investors, they may receive additional EQUItokens through the EQUI loyalty program. In the below example Simon receives a reward of 20,000 EQUItokens, 5% of the 400,000 EQUItokens invested. The token rewards are sourced from the yearly 5% increase in the EQUItoken supply. Upon issue, EQUItokens are stored in the EQUI Capital treasury account. The EQUI Capital team may distribute these tokens at their discretion for loyalty promotion purposes.

EQUI Platform & RoadMap

EQUItokens

1.(POST-ICO – PRE-PLATFORM DEVELOPMENT)

Following the ICO, acquired EQUItokens will be distributed to participants into their EQUI wallets. Until the EQUI platform is fully developed and projects selected, participants will only have the option to remove the tokens from their wallets and trade on independent exchanges, akin to any cryptocurrency

2.(PLATFORM LAUNCHED - INVESTORS)

Once the EQUI platform has been completed and projects have been selected, if participants want to use some or all of their tokens on the platform to invest, they will enter into a smart contract which will dedicate EQUItokens to a project. The EQUItokens applied to projects will be sold to raise fiat currency at the prevailing market rate, which will be invested in a project. Participants will not acquire a share or similar security in the project. Rights will be contractual. Participants will not be able to transfer those rights; the contract will lock participants into the investment until maturity. When the project realises value on sale or exit, 75% of the net profit will be returned to EQUI wallets in ETH.

3.(PLATFORM LAUNCHED - HOLDERS)

If participants choose to hold EQUItokens on the EQUI platform, they will have access to the EQUI loyalty program. Participants may not transfer those EQUItokens to a third party but they may withdraw them from the platform and use them to trade on third party exchanges, relinquishing all rights to the EQUI loyalty program. For the avoidance of doubt, no trading can take place from the EQUI platform.

4.(PLATFORM LAUNCHED - TRADERS)

Subject to continued KYC compliance, owners of EQUItokens may at any point place them on the EQUI platform on the same basis as described above.

5.(SUMMARY)

None of the EQUItokens on independent exchanges are in any way related to the investments on the EQUI platform. EQUI is not a security token itself; it is merely a blockchain facilitator. Uninvested EQUItokens can be freely taken off the EQUI platform. EQUItokens on the EQUI platform will be subject to the terms and conditions of the 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. The use of Smart Contracts, written in Solidity and compiled for Ethereum Virtual Machine, ensures security, reliability and transparency for all EQUI participants. 

The EQUItoken is a standard ERC20 token that is designed solely for use on the EQUI platform. It enables users to participate in EQUI investment projects. If the participant wishes to hold on to the token it can be stored securely on the EQUI platform for future investments or traded through public exchanges.

EQUI is a web based application that is accessed through any compatible web browser. Following the ICO, the platform will be fully developed using the funds raised. It will be user friendly, aesthetically pleasing and provide all relevant information for an investor to plan their investments and review their portfolio.

1.(REGISTRATION)

The participant will complete the Know Your Customer (KYC) process to validate their eligibility to use the platform. Once this is successfully completed an EQUI profile is created with a unique Ethereum wallet, which provides the facility to deposit EQUItokens acquired.

2.(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. Participants use their EQUItokens to acquire a stake in a project(s).

3.(DASHBOARD)

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

4.(INVESTMENT RETURNS)

Upon maturity of a project, returns are distributed in the relevant proportions as an Ether deposit into the EQUI wallet. Ether can be stored within the EQUI wallet, transferred out, or used for further investments within the EQUI platform.

5.(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. Only those token holders who have invested in a project or hold EQUItokens in their EQUI Capital wallet are eligible to receive loyalty tokens.

6.(REGULATION)

We anticipate that the EQUI platform itself will be considered an Unregulated Collective Investment Scheme (UCIS) as per UK statutory regulation and FCA guidance, which is the opinion shared by our legal counsel. This means the scheme will be operated by an FCA authorised individual, which will give comfort to investors that their rights under the smart contracts to which they commit to investments are being managed correctly.

However, we would like to emphasise that the issue of tokens theselves in the ICO is not a regulated activity in the UK, and the EQUItoken is not considered a security, which is again the opinion shared by our legal counsel. The token's utility is in providing a means of access to the future EQUI platform and does not directly or indirectly provide any return. The tokens may, of course, be traded and such trading remains an unregulated activity.

The EQUI platform and token acquisition process has been audited by an independent expert.

Blockchain & VentureCapital

Blockchain Technology

Blockchain technology is a transparent digital ledger of transactions and records that are immune to change or deletion. Offering additional traits of increased security, lower costs, time efficiency, and error resistance, blockchain has seen a rapid rise in interest during 2017. The utility of blockchain technology is limitless, sparking the growing list of companies, industries, and governments exploring its potential adoption. Cryptocurrency, otherwise known as digital currency or digital money, has played a significant part in the scaling knowledge of blockchain. Cryptocurrencies are virtual currencies which use blockchain technology – they hold no physical attributes and exist solely in digital form.

Bitcoin is widely regarded as the public face of blockchain and virtual currencies, seeing a rise in value of over 39,500% in the last 5 years. Bitcoin has grown as a tradeable asset and it is estimated that over 6 million people hold Bitcoin as a digital asset and over 100,000 vendors worldwide now accept Bitcoin as payment for goods and services. Other digital currencies have followed Bitcoin with over 1,500 cryptocurrencies in circulation – some are designed to further the advances in blockchain technology and others to provide financing for individual objectives. Bitcoin and Ethereum are leaders in terms of market share, and account for almost 60% of a $486 billion market.

This increased understanding and awareness of blockchain technology, the rise of Bitcoin as a tradable asset, and the growth of the network and the advancement of the technological infrastructure have all contributed to an escalating number of financial institutions announcing plans to invest and develop in this sector.

Recent years have seen the rise of the Initial Coin Offering (ICO), where a company creates a unique cryptocurrency that is tethered to their product, service or blockchain venture and offers their currency for sale to the public. During 2017, this meteoric rise of the ICO has grown to surpass the volume of funds generated by the traditional fund raising process of Initial Public Offerings (IPO). This increasing trend not only makes ICOs a challenger to IPOs, but quite possibly a successor. 

The current commerce and finance market is evolving, technology is advancing, and minds are opening to new opportunities. Blockchain, cryptocurrencies, and ICOs have demonstrated that they very much intend to revolutionise the world as it is today.

Venture Capital 

Venture capital is a form of financing that is provided by individuals, firms, or institutions to small, early-stage, emerging companies that are deemed to have high growth potential but don’t have access to equity markets. Such investments are generally classified as higher risk as the companies are less developed, and capital invested is often illiquid. However, when the right ventures are selected, these companies are capable of providing impressive returns.

-SeadStage:The first external investment that helps get a company off the ground.

-EarlyStage:Investment provided to a company that has successfully proven its concept, in order to accelerate their sales and marketing efforts.

-GrowthStage/SeriesA&B:Further rounds to provide additional financial support to grow the venture to its next stage of development usually through an enhanced sales and marketing strategy.

Within the venture capital space, the two most typically used structures are equity and convertible debt. Equity is the issuing of common stock or preferred stock. Once invested, equity is owned outright until some type of sale or liquidity event of the company. Unlike debt, equity does not require repayment but is invested in return for a percentage stake in the company.

Convertible debt is a loan which gives the holder an option to convert into equity. In the event this option is not exercised, the loan will become repayable at some stage. However, it is common practice for sophisticated investors to treat their loan investment akin to an equity stake. EQUI will be the gateway for a wider audience to participate in venture capital investment opportunities.

Token Distribution And ICO

Tokens & ICO

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. A pre-sale will run from 1 March to 15 March 2018. A minimum investment level of $100,000 is required to participate in the pre-sale.

The public ICO will run from 15 March to 12 April 2018. A minimum investment level of $100 will apply to the public ICO, subject to participants complying with regulatory guidelines outlined on our website.

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.

ACCEPTED PAYMENTS

Accepted payments for the presale are USD, GBP, EUR and Bitcoins. In the public ICO, EQUI can be purchased only with Bitcoins (BTC), Ether (ETH), Litecoins (LTC), and Ripple (XRP). The base cryptocurrency will be Ether. Other cryptocurrencies will be exchanged via the Shapeshift API. 

UNSOLD TOKEN

Should any of the tokens allocated for public sale remain unsold at the end of the ICO, 50% will be distributed to the ICO participants on a pro-rata basis. The remaining 50% will be distributed back to EQUI and will be used to support future investment projects. This structure protects the investor by allowing only those who participate in the ICO to receive the upside of free tokens, helping control price speculation.

FUTURE TOKEN SUPPLY

Each year the token supply will increase by 5%. This is to facilitate the EQUItoken loyalty program.
