www.BCoinsg.io

The vision of BCoin.sg is to provide an all-encompassing cryptocurrency service platform


for the new tokenized economy. Having already built a cryptocurrency exchange
platform and established mining facilities (in Georgia, Houston, & Ontario), our
experienced team is committed to expand our range of services.
The current BCoin.sg Exchange Platform comprise three main services,
Cryptocurrency Trading
Fiat-Crypto Trading
OTC Services

The BCoin Token (BCT) will be a utility token underpinned by blockchain technology,
built on the ERC20 Standard, with the most immediate use cases being,
Discounted Fees on the BCoin.sg Exchange
Card & Spending Qualification
Tiered Membership Benefits
Community Activation (Listing & Polling)

Our goal is to provide a one-stop solution for all players, be it innovator, investor, or
user. The exchange platform has already launched more than 10 Major Cryptocurrencies,
and we are actively developing our platform to integrate more high-quality pairings.
Further to the Exchange Platform, by virtual extension of our services, we are building an
independent wallet for safe storage of your cryptocurrencies, married with an integrated
payment solution for enablement of day-to-day purchases. BCoin is an existing business –
heavily invested in education, incubation, and state-of-the-art facilities, our mantra is the
enablement of adoption and empowerment of the masses through cryptocurrencies and

CRYPTO-LITERACY
It is without a doubt that understanding
cryptocurrency and its associated activities is
no easy feat. From unpacking the technical
complexities of private keys and hashing
algorithms, to the financial proficiency of how
the cryptocurrency market works, the
barriers to entry for the everyday individual
seems but a herculean task. Nonetheless,
exchanges being the gateway into the crypto-
world, have not adequately addressed this
issue of ease-of-use and proper user
onboarding.

BCoin.sg Whitepaper 5
The BCoin Vision 3
Currently, cryptocurrency trading activities remain amongst just a few elite platforms,
creating an oligopoly which is in direct contradiction to the philosophies of the
decentralized nature of cryptocurrencies - these serve as large honeypots of critical
points of failure. As with Decentralised Exchanges (DEX), the pain points, just to name a
few are high fees, high latency, poor incentive models to maintain a decentralised
network – DEXs are not yet ready for mainstream use. It remains for alternative
centralised exchanges to provide for the above solutions, not only to drive competition
and innovative solutions, but to also allow customer versatility and risk diversification.
Furthermore, from the user’s perspective, investing in this space comprise a myriad of
activities, including education and research, securing these digital assets, participating in
network activities (such as running a node/master-node, mining, etc.) and eventually using
these cryptocurrencies in day-to-day purchases of goods & services.
BCoin is committed to bringing cryptocurrencies into mainstream adoption through our
end-to-end Cryptocurrency Service Platform. Built for the masses, whether it is your
entry or exit point, our platform has got you covered.
Already trading your favourite cryptocurrencies, we understand that the reality is that
cryptocurrencies are being traded and speculated upon. Cryptocurrencies by their very
nature have not yet realised the envisioned use-cases as an alternative form of currency –
therefore they should be in turn, considered as some category of ‘cryptographically
secured digital assets’.
At our core is a multi-functional/versatile exchange platform, and around it, we are
building an ecosystem of complimenting services such as a project launchpad, an
educational platform, and a multicurrency wallet with integrated payment rails for
mainstream usage. Our goal is to bring together a whole suite of services to a
fragmented ecosystem in a synergistic manner that addresses the needs of the everyday
investors at all levels. This will aid maturity of this emergent space, and truly realize the
utility and fungibility that cryptocurrencies had sought to achieve.

“Bitcoin has succeeded on the level of a new currency,


but the payment system is somewhat lacking, It’s very
hard to use, and that’s the big challenge”
- Peter Thiel, Founder of PayPal

SPEND

PREPAID DEBIT
READILY ACCEPTED
RECHARGE ON-THE-GO

Partnering with existing e-payment companies, we believe that we have already met half
our objective. Leveraging on traditional payment channels, BCoin is seeking to integrate
cryptocurrencies through an Internet Payment Gateway (IPG) provider such as MPay in
Malaysia. We are also working with an EMI (Electronic Money Institution) in the
Philippines to further advance our payment capabilities. As our everyday e-wallets
become increasingly sophisticated, incorporating multiple functionalities such as gift
cards, loyalty points, vouchers and so much more, cryptocurrencies and blockchain
based assets too, require a bridge to permeate the mainstream. One of the greatest pain
point of cryptocurrencies is to achieve its ‘currency-status’ and its fungibility in traditional
commerce – plastic money, is still highly relevant in today’s ‘cashless societies’, and
serves as an excellent segue into the tokenised economy.

Furthermore, the convenience of recharging your card directly from the


exchange, for immediate retail use, has yet to be explored - BCoin will be
the first of its kind.

TOKEN DESIGN & PURPOSE


Built on the Ethereum ERC20 Standard, the BCT Token will be used as the fuel for our
ecosystem and to ensure longevity of the business model. Our native tokens will find
almost immediate utility upon issuance, on our BCoin.sg Exchange platform. The issuance
of these tokens serve two main purposes:
1 – User acquisition through token distribution & mining
2 – User retention and adoption through token incentives & immediate utility

A VALUE DRIVEN MODEL
Built on the measure of the token’s utility, our tiered model provides an indication of user
engagement and matches that with rewards accordingly. The mechanisms of tokens-as-fees
(usage) coupled with holding benefits (periodically replenished) are incorporated to provide
optimum utility and use cases for the token in accordance to the user’s level of engagement.
Further to traditional lock-up periods or token burns, the membership conditions help to
maintain a lower token velocity to encourage sustainable price action.
We define this as a tiered Proof of Engagement on the BCoin.sg Exchange & its related
services.

OTHER USE CASES


BCoin may, from time-to-time, request to accept BCT Tokens as Listing Fees from potential
projects, or any other services where applicable. BCT Tokens may also be issued to our
‘incubatees’ as our contribution to them. As our ecosystem grows, and with greater network
effects, we envision further use cases for our token to emerge.

WHY EXCHANGE ISSUED TOKENS?
The advantage of exchange issued native tokens is that it finds immediate utility and
subscribership on its platform where services are rendered. The distribution process not
only increases exposure and user acquisition to build a greater userbase, but also enables
conversation of token holder support and loyalty through incentive models. In the case
of BCoin, we have designed a three-pronged incentive model – first of its kind in the
space. This brings unprecedented value to both the health of the Exchange Business, but
for the token holders as well.
Historically, Exchange Tokens have performed generally well, with value appreciation
almost instantly on its issuance. Refer to below weighted returns according to the largest

Distribution Model
WHAT IS TRADE MINING AND WHY
During the initial launch of the BCT Tokens, 120% of all trading fees collected will be
returned to the users in BCT Tokens. A daily limit of 1 million tokens will be applied to
ensure the distribution is just and fair, providing a richer trading experience to all users.
Trade mining is an effective way to further dilute (or decentralise) ownership to
individuals that were not able to participate in the token sale. It also provides an
opportunity for active traders to accumulate BCTs during this season through the
platform engagement (see Proof of Engagement – Section 7).

KNOW YOUR CUSTOMER


BCoin adopts comprehensive KYC/AML processes—we aim to support a network of
businesses and governments where both partners and users will be able to seamlessly
integrate themselves into the BCoin ecosystem while securely validating personal data.
We will work closely with regulators and abide with any compliance requirements to
adopt zero-tolerance towards illicit activities and will seek to ensure that this does not
become a vehicle for money-laundering and terrorism-financing activities.
