FORWARD STATEMENT
FROM THE CHAIRMAN
To all valued members of the blockchain community,

The blockchain world has seen an exponential growth in participation


and its users since 2017. As an ecosystem, it has provided cutting edge
technology and user cases that can help the wider public. Recent
innovations such as Decentralized Finance (“DeFi”) and Automated
Market Makers (“AMMs”), if adopted in the right manner, can provide
great utility and positive change to traditional banking and capital
markets.

The growth of blockchain and its associated technologies must be augmented by better
security to protect both blockchain’s users and its communities. To achieve critical mass
adoption amongst the wider public, there must be a balance between regulators, privacy
preservation and the ease of use to achieve such security. As of the end of June’21, the total
market capitalization of the cryptocurrency market stands at close to US$ 1 Trillion; this is 10
times the size of the market compared to 4 years ago which stands at close to US$100 Billion.
With so much more capital and liquidity in the market, authentication in a decentralized
manner takes on increasing importance for all participants.

This is one of our main motivations for launching the Avarta blockchain project. We aim to
create a leading project that serves to help improve current issues around whitelisting,
collateralization on DeFi lending and authentication for major blockchain participants. As
such, our project can provide a fundamental security layer for Level 1 (“L1”) infrastructure
protocol layers, DeFi lending platforms and Centralized Exchanges. By working with end
consumers and blockchain’s major players, I am of the firm belief that we can make the
blockchain world a better place.

All successful projects start with a strong purpose to solve problems for society, and it takes
an equally strong team to bring the vision to life. With Avarta, we hope to add significant value
on the security and authentication front, especially so in the blockchain world.

Yours Sincerely,

Prince Abdul Qawi


Office of His Royal Highness Pengiran Muda Abdul Qawi of Brunei Darussalam

ABSTRACT
Avarta addresses authentication and identification challenges that pervade both traditional and
blockchain applications. As blockchain matures and cryptocurrency projects are looking for
identity solutions, they find themselves stuck with either pseudonymous solutions or centralized
customer identification programs. Powered by patents, Avarta is a 4-in-1 solution for DeFi and
blockchain whereby your face is your private key to multiple blockchains.

OUR CORE FEATURES ARE:


1. Biometrically-secured, multi- 3. Multi-signature wallet for
chain blockchain wallet corporations and legacy planning

2. Anti-bot mechanism for public 4. Multi-chain, decentralized


DEX listing identity management with risk
based scoring mechanism

Avarta provides crypto companies and the blockchain industry established standards of
authentication and proof of identity that serve the industry, rather than adopting outdated
standards from centralized institutions.

Avarta provides a military-grade security enabled identity wallet that allows people to control
their private keys conveniently. Avarta’s cross-chain support means that cryptocurrency users can
consolidate all of their cryptographic keys in one wallet that requires no passwords, no seed
phrases and no need to write down the keys in a safe (or not-so-safe) location. Using a
combination of biometrics and device data, Avarta is able to create a trust score with a military-
grade level of authentication assurance, creating a completely secure wallet for users.

The Avarta system is designed to be used for Decentralized Finance (DeFi) applications. One of the
drawbacks of blockchain’s trustless nature is that a person doesn’t retain a reputation or credit
rating. On top of that, the fluctuations in the priceof cryptocurrency represent a risk when it
comes to lending or investing against a cryptoasset. As a result, DeFi applications often need to
overcollateralize to compensate for fluctuations and for the fact that there is no identification of
the investor or borrower.

By creating a unique, secure identity, as well as a way to store a person’s full transaction history,
Avarta allows an individual to prove they are a reliable investor, lender, or borrower, giving them
access to services based on trust—similar to a credit rating. Unlike centralized credit ratings,
however, Avarta gives full control to the user. The user can determine when and how to expose
their information, and they can remain anonymous if that is allowed by the platforms they use.

Avarta's mission is to create a secure, private and user-controlled authentication layer that puts
the full power of the web into users’ hands.

BACKGROUND
LOGGING IN: IF ONLY IT WERE THAT EASY
Password fatigue has been an issue for years, but in the crypto world, the problem is compounded
by complex private keys, seed phrases, and non-custodial wallets that put 100% of the
responsibility for remembering those phrases on the user. While this takes control from banks and
puts it in the hands of users, the downside is the loss of funds. It is estimated that approximately
20% of Bitcoin, or approximately $140 billion, is inaccessible due to the loss of cryptographic keys
by users. [1]

Privacy and control are some of the main advantages of using cryptocurrency, so people don’t
want to use centralized exchanges or custodial wallets. But even non-custodial wallets are
susceptible to attacks such as reverse proxy phishing, cryptojacking, dusting, and clipping. [2]
[2As
cryptocurrency gains momentum, the need for user-friendly and highly-secure authentication
methods is growing. Blockchain wallets are poorly protected. Metamask, the most common
Ethereum wallet in DeFi, uses a simple password login and is vulnerable to a variety of attack.[3]
[3]

Cybercrime accounted for more than $3 billion in losses in the crypto market, with the most
lucrative target being cryptocurrency wallets, with an average of $112 million per wallet hacking
event compared to about $10 million per attack on Ethereum apps or exchanges. [4]
[ With the
amount of money at stake growing rapidly, making wallets safe is a huge priority for the industry.

Passwords have long been a security risk and inconvenience. For increased security and better
user experience, the industry is moving to biometrically-powered authentication. Gartner predicts
that by 2022, 60% of large and global enterprises and 90% of midsize enterprises will implement
biometrically-powered methods in more than 50% of use cases. [5]

Truly biometrically-powered authentication does not require the user to remember any type of
password. Keys can be stored on people’s mobile devices and unlocked with biometrics. The most
commonly used biometrics are facial scans, retina scans, and fingerprint scans, but today’s
technologies can also record people’s unique heart rate patterns, gait, and other types of
biometrics identified by wearables. Interactive Voice Recognition (IVR) and call recording systems
have been using voice recognition for years so that as someone is giving their identifying
information over the phone, the systems simultaneously match their voice patterns and flag
suspicious activity. Mass adoption of biometrics and the almost complete disappearance of
[6]
security concerns among consumers have eliminated the barriers to implementation.

Avarta provides the solution to this with our military-grade solution that is patented both in the
USA (United States Patent: No.10,277,603) and in South East Asia (Malaysia Patent: No. MY-176069-A)
covering the ability to authenticate a transaction in a multi-faceted manner.

OVERCOLLATERALIZATION: DRAINING DEFI APPEAL


DeFi lending has been one of the exciting applications of blockchain technology. The ability to
take out middlemen such as bankers has provided opportunities for borrowers and lenders alike.
However, using cryptocurrency to collateralize these loans exposes the lenders to the risk
associated with cryptocurrency volatility. As a result, lenders require additional collateralization.
For example, MakerDAO requires 150% collateralization and Compound also requires extra
collateralization. In many platforms, if the collateral loses value too quickly, the loan can
automatically be called by the smart contract.

Overcollateralization creates inefficiency, with cryptocurrency being tied up in these loans when it
could be invested elsewhere. One of the potential solutions would be to create some kind of
credit score for the participants in DeFi vehicles. However, investors who prefer anonymity or use
pseudonymous cryptographic addresses simply have no way to build up a credit score or
reputation as reliable traders. Traditional credit ratings don’t have direct applications in the
crypto and blockchain world, and there are yet to be any established standards or best practices
for crypto assets.

INCREASED REGULATION
In an attempt to limit the pervasiveness of cryptocurrency use to launder money, the Financial
Action Task Force (FATF) extended its definition of the Travel Rule to cover Virtual Asset Service
Providers (VASPs)[7],
[7] which include cryptocurrency exchanges and other financial cryptoasset

service providers. The Travel Rule is a product of FinCEN, the U.S. regulatory agency responsible
for enforcing the Bank Secrecy Act. It was created in 1995 and requires that financial institutions
transmit certain information on certain funds transfers and transmittals to other institutions. In
2019, FATF, a global money laundering and terrorist financing watchdog, extended the mandate to
cover cryptocurrency transactions – the implications of which have yet to be fully understood. It is
possible that platforms that were thought to be previously exempt are now being recognized as
potential violators of this rule, including decentralized exchanges (DEXs) and DeFi projects.

Because of the way such protocols and programs interact with individuals, they are unable to
record the information necessary to fulfill the language of the Travel Rule. Without substantial
changes to the way they do business, they may find themselves operating in violation of
international laws. Thus, a wallet solution that can help solve this issue could have added
significant value and pave the way for decentralized financial service providers to continue to
operate in compliance with international money laundering laws.

OPPORTUNITY
The DeFi industry is growing rapidly and as it matures, solutions are required for developing
trusted systems for authentication and reputation. While the “trustless” slogan has been touted
for blockchain, the idea behind it is that trust is designed into the system so that people don’t
have to know the person on the other end of the transaction.

To build that trust, the following elements will become fundamental in DeFi:

Security is key for this industry. Blockchain is rapidly expanding beyond the $2 Trillion mark,
and many predict that DeFi will overtake traditional banking. Tooling for the industry must
include security and data privacy solutions.

The combination of biometrically-powered technology, blockchain, and regulations protecting


investors is enabling a new wave of applications that provide the security and infrastructure for
a new financial system.

SOLUTION
Avarta leverages data already collected by people’s mobile devices to create a seamless,
biometrically-powered, multi-chain wallet that stores people’s cryptographic keys and transaction
histories, eliminating cryptocurrency loss due to security breaches, cryptographic key loss, or
forgetting of seed phrases. The storage and control of transaction by the user enables
cryptocurrency traders and investors to develop credit histories that increase efficiencies across
the DeFi space.

Avarta is based on a decentralized blockchain devoted to identity and privacy solutions. The
Avarta protocol includes:

PATENTED BIOMETRICALLY-POWERED AUTHENTICATION


Avarta combines biometrics and device data to create an authentication score that ensures that
only the actual wallet holder can access their information.

ENTERPRISE / MILITARY GRADE SECURITY


The security provided is strong enough to be trusted with financial accounts and personal data.

MULTI-CHAIN PROFILING
Single-sign-on (SSO) capabilities enable users to hold one wallet and be able to manage their
cryptographic keys across multiple blockchains and dApps. The ability to facilitate transactions
over multiple blockchains will allow the consolidation of transaction history to a cohesive credit
score that can be ported across different DeFi apps.

LOCAL AND AVARTA STORAGE


Keys and data are stored locally with the user and with Avarta storage. Only a successful
authentication can allow a transaction by the authenticated Avarta user.

PASSWORD MANAGEMENT
Multiple cryptographic keys are seamlessly and securely stored in one place.

Avarta.io

10
TRANSACTION HISTORY
Maintaining the transaction history of the user is core to the future of DeFi capabilities to work
across applications and blockchains. By understanding a user’s total net worth, trading income,
lending and borrowing history, and trust history, DeFi applications can compose trust assessments
and provide services to individuals tailored for their capacity for making trades, taking loans,
lending to others, etc.

Avarta holds all of the person’s blockchain private keys for a single-sign-on (SSO) experience for
all cryptocurrency applications. Because it can only be unlocked through recognizing the specific
person, device and behaviors, the Avarta wallet is completely secure and the user never has to
remember complicated passwords or answer security questions.

MILITARY GRADE SECURITY


The patented biometrics solution is at the core of the Avarta technology. Avarta has developed
technology that identifies people as well as—or better than—humans identifying one another. By
combining a multitude of factors that are collected through an individual’s device, Avarta provides
authentication that simply cannot be reproduced by anyone but the individual who owns the
wallet.

Avarta.io

Mobile devices carry a tremendous amount of information on everyone including voice patterns,
gait, the way someone holds the phone, taps and swipes, etc. In addition to the personal
information, the device itself is unique in terms of the model, battery life patterns, location,
storage, etc. Combining information on the phone plus the individual is enough to create an
extremely high level of confirmation that a person is who they say they are. Not only that, but a
facial scan or fingerprint set can be compared to databases of other biometrics and confirm that
the person is unique and not using anyone else’s data. Such databases are now used regularly for
border control. People’s privacy is preserved because biometric scans are not stored as raw data
but rather as hashed patterns, called templates, that represent a unique person’s print. Because
the hash is always performed the same way, matching hashes indicate a print is the same person.

The Avarta Score generated is a unique composite score calculated by the AI-powered synthesis of
authenticating each user by multiple means. Avarta can also be used to create a unique user
template based on industry standards for biometric templates and compare identities to make
sure that someone does not have duplicate identities.

Through the Avarta Platform, users create an "Avarta" of themselves with their wallet address and
can choose which information forms part of their digital identity. Users are required to choose a
minimum amount of data for a secure score, and some information is built into the device itself.
For obvious reasons, this whitepaper does not reveal the exact combination of inputs that Avarta
uses to authenticate.

12
PASSWORDLESS AUTHENTICATION
The key to making the Avarta useful, seamless and secure lies in multi-factor authentication.
Through Avarta, users log in without any password, private key, security questions, or seed
phrases. Avarta will be combining more than a dozen factors for every single authentication,
making it virtually impossible to fake someone else’s identification.

SINGLE SIGN-ON
As described within the previous features, Avarta knows who the user is at any given time. The
Avarta app operates as an agent to log in to any dApp or exchange where the user is registered.
Avarta maintains a secure registry of the keys, provides the authentication, and logs in on their
behalf.

Single sign-on (SSO) means that users do not need to spend any time finding their passwords—
they can work seamlessly with no interruption and Avarta makes sure everything simply works.

SAFEKEEPING OF CRYPTO ASSETS


The biometrically-powered and extremely high-security authentication capabilities of Avarta make
it the application of choice for the safekeeping of cryptoassets. Anyone with the Avarta wallet can
feel confident that all of their cryptoassets are fully protected when they use the Avarta interface
for the storage of their private keys. Avarta eliminates any concerns about the potential for loss of
cryptographic keys and assets. Avarta provides the best security available in digital format but
recognizes that some people would like to have a physical backup for disaster recovery.

DEFI INTEGRATION
In addition to the Avarta wallet, Avarta’s authentication service is available as an SDK for
integration with blockchain, DeFi and other types of applications that require single-sign-on,
identity, or biometrically-powered authentication. Avarta provides tools for developers to
integrate this technology into their dApps to replace less secure or difficult-to-use login
capabilities.

Avarta.io

13
CROSS-CHAIN YIELD OPTIMIZATION
By providing a single wallet with multiple chain logins, Avarta enables cross-chain asset
optimization through DeFi exchanges. Investors can leverage the cross-chain capabilities of Avarta
to assess and optimize cross-chain yield farming, staking, and other investment opportunities.
Third parties can create a variety of apps to leverage these cross-exchange and cross-chain
visibility capabilities.

NFT STORAGE
The Avarta wallet allows the holding and tracking of NFTs being held by the user. Avarta holds the
private keys and the logins to marketplaces for NFTs, allowing the Avarta users to access, display,
trade and prove ownership of their NFTs, artworks, collectibles and assets.

Non-fungible tokens are growing in importance in terms of their value, not just as art objects but
also as proof of ownership of real-life objects. [9] NFT holdings indicate the value of people’s
portfolios, and therefore are a key part of creating credit ratings and investor profiles.

TRANSACTION HISTORY
Transaction history is the foundation for the creation of credit scores and determining if someone
is credit-worthy. These transactions which are utilized to credit score include:

THESE TRANSACTIONS WHICH ARE UTILIZED TO CALCULATE


THE PROPRIETARY CREDIT SCORE INCLUDE:

Purchase and sale of cryptocurrency NFT holdings and other crypt-asset


Staking rewards on crypto holdings
Lending and borrowing of crypto Gains and losses on investments
Repayment history Current portfolio
Collateralization and Outstanding collateralization
collateralization history

14
As Avarta creates the data layer to allow the risk-based scoring to be performed, the wallet
enables the users to preserve their transaction history and to send it to any third party. In a
decentralized environment, different independent certification agencies can emerge, creating
different types of credit ratings or ranking on people’s reliability as lenders, borrowers and
traders. The Avarta system will provide ways for people to export their trading history to other
authorities, either in part or whole. For example, if someone wants to prove their holdings in just
one currency, or show all of the collateralization current on the portfolio, they could expose just
that information. Credit rating agencies could require full or partial history, depending on the
types of transactions.

THIRD-PARTY INTEGRATION
Through integration with various third-party information, Avarta can provide a range of DeFi
services that can leverage the information that users collect on their own transactions to give
them a crypto-based identity and reputation.

SERVICES THAT COULD BE PROVIDED BASED ON THE


INTEGRATION INCLUDE:

Unique identity services (based Integration with Web 2 and other


on templates that can be services

Users can choose the information they release to trusted parties, gaining access to specific
services, whitelisting, and acquiring favorable interest rates.

CRYPTO KEY MANAGER


Avarta handles cryptographic keys for dApps and wallets. The biometrically-powered login can be
integrated with third-party wallets or simply used inside the Avarta wallet to provide a convenient
way for people to manage all of their crypto seed phrases and keys.

Avarta.io

15
OFFICIAL DIGITAL ID
Digital wallets like Avarta can be integrated with official documentation such as company
credentials, driver’s licenses, professional certifications, university degrees, etc. Already, many
countries use biometric identifications and are able to combine these data with apps. The Avarta
protocol is designed for integration with these types of certification and identification systems.

RECOVERY IN CASE OF EMERGENCY


Because the Avarta system is heavily dependent on biometrics and there is no custodial operation
to recover data or keys held under Avarta wallets, it’s necessary to implement a recovery
methodology that is verifiable in the case that someone has incurred an injury that would prevent
them from opening the wallet. The person can designate up to seven other people who have
Avartaprofiles and who would be able to open the wallet, either as individuals or by agreement (a
minimum of 3 of five people for example) in case of the person’s death or injury. The person could
set a minimum amount of time between their final login with their own credentials and the release
of the keys to custodians. For example, if someone suffers a stroke and is unable to log in because
their facial, voice and physical attributes were significantly altered, there could be a 30 or 60 day
minimum wait time before the people they designated as custodians would be able to open the
wallet.

DETAILED USE CASE:
PEER-TO-PEER BLOCKCHAIN LENDING
Peer-to-peer loans have been one of the longest-standing use cases discussed in the
cryptocurrency industry. Peer-to-peer loans can take a number of formats: collateralized and non-
collateralized loans. To date, only collateralized loans have been possible because of the lack of
credit ratings and true identities in the blockchain DeFi applications. Following is a case for a
collateralized crypto loan.

A crypto-backed loan is a collateralized loan that a user receives through a crypto exchange or
other crypto lending platform. DeFi collateralized loans have been extremely popular, allowing
people to make investments and increase their income.

Lending in DeFi most often uses tokenized pools to aggregate liquidity, which streamlines the
business process for borrowing. One does not have to source potential lenders or negotiate the
interest rate since there is a single entry point for all loans, and the interest rate is determined
algorithmically from market conditions. Some of the largest protocols include Compound, Aave,
dydx and MakerDAO.

Key characteristics of DeFi loans:

PERMISSIONLESS
Anyone can borrow cryptocurrencies without having to undergo KYC or get permission from a third
party.

AUTOMATED
Loans are automatically dispersed through smart contracts, with positions being liquidated if a
collateralization ratio falls below the predefined threshold.

NON-CUSTODIAL
With DeFi loans, there is no need to transfer ownership of the underlying collateral. All funds are
secured by smart contracts, with the borrower being responsible for maintaining that position.

SECURE
Major borrowing protocols have been rigorously audited, meaning that funds supplied to loans are
backed by the most robust code in the world.

Avarta.io
Copyright © 2021 Avarta Foundation Ltd. All Rights Reserved.
18
DYNAMIC
The vast majority of borrowing in DeFi leverages variable interest rates which shift relative to the
utilization ratio of any given asset.

PERPETUAL
DeFi loans can be opened for any amount of time, so long as the debt is paid back and the
position is sufficiently collateralized

However, one unique feature for Defi is that it is usually overcollateralized which reduces the
lenders’ risk. However, this overcollateralization reduces the attractiveness of borrowing assets.

Source: Loanscan

One of the reasons for over-collateralization is that the borrower’s identity, credit history, and
other assets are hidden to the lender. However, with Avarta, a lender could ask for additional
information. For example, if the lender sees that the borrower has a valuable collection of NFTs,
they could make a loan based on basic collateral, and monitor the wallet on a regular basis, just
to make sure that the borrower still has a liquid position. The lender knows that the borrower is
“good for the money” even if there is a decrease in the value of the collateral. In case the
cryptocurrency rates drop and the borrower needs to put in more collateral, the lender can make
a request to the borrower and they can settle or have the loan cash out automatically. If the
borrower has a good borrowing history, this increases the lenders' assurance that they are taking
a reasonable risk.

The use case above discusses collateralized loans, but Avarta envisions that over time, with the
use of the Avarta scores and third-party applications, it will be possible to create decentralized
financial institutions that are able to take risks based on credit history, providing peer-to-peer
loans without collateral.

looking information. Such information are only predictions and are subject to inherent risks and
uncertainty. Forward-looking statements, which are based on qualifications, assumptions and
estimates (in each case whether or not identified herein) and are generally identifiable by the

nature, forward-looking information involves numerous assumptions, inherent risks and
uncertainties both general and specific that contribute to the possibility those predictions,

Avarta.io

29
forecasts, projections and other forward-looking statements will not occur. Those risks and
uncertainties include factors and risks specific to the industry in which Avarta operates as well
as general economic conditions. Forward-looking Information is provided for illustrative
purposes only and is not intended to serve as and must not be relied on by any participant as a
guarantee, an assurance, a prediction or a definitive statement of fact or probability. Actual
performance, events, results or outcomes may be materially different from those expressed or
implied in those statements.

expressly qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statements in this section. Except as
expressly required by law, Avarta undertakes no obligation to publicly update or revise any
forward-looking information provided in this Whitepaper whether as a result of new
information, future events or otherwise, or the risks affecting this information.

views held only as at the date of this Whitepaper.

Risk Disclosures

Risk of Software Weaknesses

Although Avarta shall make reasonable efforts to ensure that the Tokens, the Avarta platform
and related software adopt high-security standards, Avarta does not warrant or represent that
the Tokens, the Avarta platform or any such related software are secure or safe, or protected
from fishing, malware or other malicious attacks. Further, the Tokens, the Avarta platform and
related software may contain weaknesses, bugs, vulnerabilities, viruses or other defects which
may have a material adverse effect on the operation of the tokens to be issued by Avarta, the
Avarta platform or any such related software or may lead to losses and damages for users of the
tokens to be issued by Avarta, the Avarta platform or any such related software or third persons.

Risk Inherent in the Blockchain

The Tokens, the Avarta platform and related software are or will be deployed on blockchain
related networks. As a result, any malfunction, breakdown or abandonment of such
blockchain(s) may have a material adverse effect on the Tokens, the Avarta platform or such
related software. Moreover, advances in cryptography, or technical advances such as the
development of quantum computing, could present risks to the Tokens, Avarta platform, related
software, and related blockchain software by rendering ineffective the cryptographic consensus
mechanism that underpins the relevant blockchain network. The smart-contract concept, the
underlying software application and software platform are still in an early

Avarta.io
Copyright © 2021 Avarta Foundation Ltd. All Rights Reserved.
30
development stage and unproven. The blockchain, as well as any other blockchain, can be
attacked which may result in downtime, consensus split, long reorganization of the chain, 51
percent attack, or other adverse outcomes each of which may lead to complete loss of the
participant’s digital assets.

Risk of Flawed Logic of the Tokens, the Avarta Platform or Related Software

The underlying logic of the Tokens, the Avarta platform and their related software may be
flawed, defective or impaired, which can result in smart-contracts operating incorrectly or not as
expected, or transactions being executed in violation of logic which underpins the smart-
contracts, which can lead to partial or complete loss of digital assets used in the transaction.

Risk of Confusing User Interface

Certain user interface elements or design decisions may be confusing or mislead participants,
which may result in the execution of a different action or transaction than intended or desired,
or connection of a wrong wallet, account or network.

Risk of Legal Uncertainty

The intended activities of the Avarta platform are subject to various laws and regulations in the
countries where Avarta operates or intends to operate. Avarta may be obliged to obtain different
licenses or other permissive documents in some or all jurisdictions where it intends to operate
its business, therefore, its business in such jurisdictions shall always be subject to obtaining
such licenses or permissive documents, if so directed by applicable laws. There is a risk that
certain activities may be deemed in violation of any such law or regulation. Penalties for any
such potential violation may be unknown. Additionally, changes in applicable laws or
regulations or evolving interpretations of existing law could, in certain circumstances, result in
increased compliance costs or capital expenditures, which could affect Avarta’s ability to carry
on its business model.

Risk of Theft

There is no assurance that there will be no theft of the participant’s digital assets as a result of
hacks, sophisticated cyber-attacks, distributed denials of service or errors, double-spent attacks,
flash-loan attacks, vulnerabilities or defects of the Tokens, the Avarta platform, any related
software or otherwise. Such events may include, for example, flaws in programming or source
code leading to exploitation or abuse thereof. Any of the above may lead to partial or complete
theft or loss of digital assets used in transactions carried out in connection with the Tokens, the
Avarta platform or any related software.

Value Risks

Tokens may drop substantially in value, or may remain illiquid for long periods of time or
indefinitely. Avarta cannot guarantee an active secondary market for the exchange of Tokens
purchased in the token sale. Not all disclosures or statements are being made in this disclaimer
section. Participants should review the Definitive Documentation in their entirety and seek the
professional advice of their respective solicitor, professional accountant or other professional
adviser.

The Tokens may change in value based on a number of factors that are outside Avarta’s control.
There is no guarantee or expectation that the Tokens will increase in value, provide a return, or
have sufficient adoption and liquidity on exchanges. Owning these Tokens does not constitute a
share of equity or ownership in Avarta. The token economy is new and exciting. Regulatory
circumstances may require that token mechanics be changed or altered.
