SGC coin will be adopted as mainstream. The SGC PAY will open new ways of spending and sending SGC coins. The SGC Online Shop aims to
provide ways of utilization for our hybrid (asset + utility) coin. And finally listing our coin on global exchanges will make trading easier for the

Security Tokens
Security tokens and Security Token Offerings (STO’s) are the new things in the market. They were introduced to tackle the problem of currency
tokens and utility tokens. Security tokens offer dividends from the company’s profit to the users. They work the same as the stock exchange shares.
Security tokens are however more secure than utility currencies but the problem of losing all the investment in case of loss is still there. There is
just a need for a digital asset that can assure users of some guaranteed value to remove the insecurities. The predicted hype cycle also foresee a
fall in the liquidity of the security tokens in the upcoming years.

After the introduction of Bitcoin and Ethereum, there has been Asset-backed coins are the invention for the future. These are the
constant research on improving the cryptocurrency market. The blockchain coins backed by real valuable assets mostly at 1:1 ratio but
cryptocurrencies have kept on improving from a basic investment can be changed depending on the need of a platform. Backing a coin
based tradable currencies to utility coins, security coins, asset-backed with the real-world tangible or intangible object of economic value
coins, and now the hybrid coins. makes the worth of coin exactly the value they are backed for. Thus,
there is never the risk of losing digital assets until or unless the worth
of asset falls.
SGC coin is not just an asset-backed coin but a hybrid coin that can be
used for various payment options ranging from paying on an online
e-commerce platform to point-of-sale payments through SGC PAY
Debit Card. Hybrid coins are a thing of the future. Withholding all the
properties of a secure and stable asset-backed coin as well as the
usability of a utility coin, SGC is the solution to all the payment, and
crypto problems the world is facing.

are some benefits of asset-backed coins given below: ownership without the restrictions of temporal and territorial
barriers as the coins can be sold globally.
Liquidity enhancement
Asset tokenization enhances the liquidity of assets that A secure and cost-efficient way of getting ownership

capture liquidity premiums from assets that otherwise, due to cost-efficient, and fast way of getting ownership as the
low liquidity would not be actively traded because of low transactions on the blockchain have low to no transaction
liquidity results in making assets expensive to trade. cost.
Diversification of risk
Through tokenizing assets, people who cannot make huge
investments can invest in some percentage of the whole asset
making them able to get the ownership of one cheap part
instead of an expensive whole. Tokenizing the asset allows
diversification of risk such that one owner won't be much
affected if the whole asset is damaged and lose its value
because he has invested in a part of different assets.

The debit card payments have been increased massively as they have
doubled as compared in 2006. SGC PAY Debit Card functionality will
increase its demand owing to the huge usage potential of debit card
payments. A study conducted by the US Federal Reserve in 2016
found that the value of transactions made using debit cards in the US
rose from $2.1 trillion in 2012 to nearly $2.6 trillion in 2015; the
volume of transactions in the US increased from 56.5 billion in 2012 to
69.5 billion in 2015; that is an increase in value and volume of 23.81%
and 23%, respectively13.

Most of the companies offering gold-backed digital currencies are
reluctant to store any physical gold for avoiding the headache of
security or any other risk involved. Moreover, they do not want to be
dependent on any third party to get involved in their systems to
ensure the security of their gold reserves. Secured Gold Coin with its
partners, is ready to face the challenges as they store physical gold in
a secure vault. Thus, when you become the user of SGC coins, the
physical gold equivalent to 60% part of your initially released SGC
coin will be attached to your wallet address and displayed on the SGC
Blockchain Explorer. So whenever a user buys SGC coins, a gold
certificate is attached to the wallet address of the user. Once the
certificate is issued, the wallet address shall remain the same even if
its traded to other addresses. Which means that the price and quantity
of gold mentioned on the certificate against the SGC coin being
purchased, will remain the same and cannot change on the re-selling,
valuation, or devaluation of the same coin.
Another reason that sets SGC apart from other asset-backed digital
currency based systems is its usability through the SGC PAY Debit
Card. Secured Gold Coin Pty Limited is providing its users with this
SGC PAY Debit Card functionality to increase the utility of SGC coins as
the users can purchase different items by making payments via SGC
PAY Debit Card: containing SGC coins.

The blockchain is a decentralized distributed ledger that allows
secure, fast, and cost-efficient transactions to be made in no
time. With blockchain, the data stored cannot be changed once
entered which makes it an immutable distributed ledger. Being
a decentralized and distributed architecture, blockchain allows
everyone on the network, to take part in the transaction
validation mechanism called consensus making it a highly
trustworthy, secure, anti-fraudulent, and durable for data
storage.

Due to these features, blockchain technology has been able to attract many of the industries so far in the recent times. The ultimate benefit of
blockchain is that it allows digital information to be distributed but not copied, which can be accessed by anyone but prevents attempts at deletion,
alterations, concealment, or falsification. Digital information can be duplicated over a network of thousands and this information can be updated
regularly which is then instantly reflected in the network. Irrespective of how many times SGC coins are sold, the ledger of accounts will reflect the
latest information. Each block in the blockchain consists of data that is embedded within the network as a whole, and by definition, it is within the
public domain.

decentralized world. By making the blockchain hybrid in nature and by attaching real world asset certifications to the gold and any asset that might get
registered in the future, SGC is aiming at making the world a secure place to be. SGC Blockchain can be compared to the others in the table.

In SGC blockchain, the transaction validation and reward distribution are carried through Proof of Work which is currently being used by bitcoin
and ethereum. In Proof of Work, when a transaction is broadcasted on the network, the miners start a battle of verifying the transaction by solving
a cryptographic puzzle hash. The one who solves the puzzle first will add the transaction into the block and broadcast it on the network. In return,
the miner gets a reward in the form of coins. However, there are some changes being implemented in the block generation and block reward
distribution in the SGC Blockchain.
SGC is the first minable asset backed hybrid blockchain in the In SGC blockchain, the time to generate a block has been set to

SGC Accounts are objects having 20-byte public address, that makes up state. State transitions are thus the transfer of information between two or more
accounts. As every typical blockchain object SGC accounts have following fields and are of two types
Nonce: this is a counter that ensures each transaction can only be processed once
Balance: The account’s current balance
Contract Code: The account’s contract code, (if present, applicable to smart contracts)
Storage: The account’s storage box (empty by default)

All the transactions which have not been awarded a gold certification,
shall be awarded with a certificate by setting up a range of dates
(Starting date - Ending date) on which the blocks (containing those
transactions) were added on the blockchain. In this way, a gold
certificate is generated and attached for all these transactions. The
system also checks how much supply (SGC coins) added during these
dates and according to that supply the quantity of physical gold is
stored in the secured vault. Hence, all the transactions added during
the specified range (dates) shall have the same gold certificate with
the same certificate ID.

SGC has developed the SGC Blockchain explorer to let the users get
insights of the blockchain and activities happening within. The SGC Block-
chain explorer updates the users about insights of the SGC Blockchain from
its transactions to the blocks created, and even the difficulty of the blocks.
In addition to the traditional stats of a blockchain explorer, the SGC Explor-
er will also be providing the information regarding gold certificates as well.
This information shows details regarding the gold rates attached to the
initial wallets and the initial transactions. Thus SGC is providing with as
much transparency and trust to the users to make it easier and favorable for
them to trade SGC24.

To get a deeper look into the SGC Blockchain, SGC provides its users with SGC Stats, which gives a deeper insight of the
SGC Blockchain, than the SGC Explorer. The SGC Stats will allow the users to see the statistics like network blocks, block
time, network speed, last block miners(addresses), gas price, gas limit, gas spending, hash rate, difficulty, number of
transactions, number of pending transactions, and other vital details of the blockchain.
