French/West/Vaughan Named Agency-of-Record by Blockchain Sports

Information Platform BlitzPredict

With Supreme Court Ruling on Sports Gambling, Blockchain Technology Represents New Level of
Transparency as Industry Expands.

Las Vegas, NV, July 18, 2018 --(PR.com)-- French/West/Vaughan (FWV) one of the nation's largest
independently-owned public relations, advertising and digital marketing firms, has been selected as
agency-of-record by BlitzPredict, a Las Vegas-based start-up that has launched a global sports
information platform with a focus on sports and esports betting markets, powered by blockchain
technology. BlitzPredict is the first company to record sports predictions to the blockchain, time-stamped
against true market odds, to provide a permanent, verifiable record of an expert's success.

The BlitzPredict web app was released in June, launching analytics models for Major League Baseball
and the FIFA World Cup. After the victory by France over Croatia in the final, the World Cup model
ended up with a 36-28 record (56.5% success) and correctly called the winner in the title match. The
platform also currently offers odds on Major League Soccer and MMA. BlitzPredict NFL content is
scheduled to launch in August.

The platform utilizes the BlitzPredict token XBP to fuel many features, including smart contract betting,
accessing winning models, and entering tournaments. The ERC-20 tokens are available for purchase on
decentralized exchanges including Bancor and Idex.

BlitzPredict will soon expand its focus to the eSports market, launching tournaments, and implementing
“smart contract” betting functionality, enabling users to execute pre-set wagers when optimum criteria are
met, similar to stock price triggers. The platform will eventually aggregate betting options from over 100
sportsbooks and prediction markets in real time, providing access to the best odds available at any given
moment.

With the recent Supreme Court decision allowing states the jurisdiction to legalize sports betting, the
BlitzPredict model is positioned to bring a new level of trust, transparency and credibility to the industry
as it expands to new markets. Not only will transactions be secure, but blockchain technology allows
BlitzPredict to verify the performance of the oddsmakers and predictors that it features, eliminating the
risk of false claims by experts.

“In addition to being at the forefront of a newly legalized industry, we're bringing truth to sports betting,”
said BlitzPredict CEO Brett Richey. “Blockchain technology allows us to catalog the records of all the
sportsbooks and predictors we work with, and we will only feature those with the best rates of success.”

For many users, BlitzPredict will be the first experience they have had with cryptocurrency and
blockchain. FWV will lead the integrated marketing strategy designed to introduce the platform to
industry observers and established bettors, as well as to those new to online wagering.

“Sports betting is one of the best applications for blockchain technology because of its capacity to reduce
disputes and increase trust,” said FWV Chairman & CEO Rick French. “BlitzPredict is using a
sophisticated Fintech model to bring powerful analytics and much-needed transparency to an industry that
is poised for tremendous growth.”

The potential annual volume of the U.S. sports wagering market is estimated as high as $400 billion, and
it is anticipated that some of the world's largest tech companies could enter into online bookmaking.
BlitzPredict is positioning itself to be a leader in the space and is actively exploring potential marketing
partnerships and technical integration opportunities.
