PLATFORM
FEATURES At its core, the Finxflo platform is
a powerful stream processing engine
which will collect market data from
1. our partner exchanges and combine
It’s elastic: data is evenly distributed them into one global, unified,
among the nodes of our cluster, allowing market.
for horizontal scaling of processing.
Finxflo is able to dynamically rescale to
adapt to the workload changes as new
servers are added or removed.

3.
It has a very low latency: Rather than
accumulating the records into
micro-batches and then processing,
Finxflo processes the incoming records as
soon as possible to accelerate
performance.

PROBLEMS AND SOLUTIONS
Current challenges
of Decentralised Finance (DeFi)
1. Multiple accounts
2. Multiple interfaces
3. Disparity across protocols
4. No guarantee of best price + rates
5. Differing Governance
These are the main challenges facing investors today, challenges that up
until now have not been addressed. Currently, investors who want to gain
access to multiple protocols require a connection process for each, which
can be tedious, time consuming and frustrating. Once one has completed
the arduous task of gaining access to multiple protocols and learning to
use various different interfaces, one is still faced with the harsh
reality.
Finxflo solves all of these problems and more. Finxflo provides its users
with access to multiple protocols through one registration process,
connecting the dots so users don’t have to. As well as gaining access to
multiple protocols the same way they have previously, through Finxflo's
advanced aggregation protocol, users are guaranteed the best price and
rates available.

DISCLAIMER
This white paper was prepared by Finxflo (FXF) with the purpose of providing interested
parties information about FXF and the native token to be used to trade on the FXF aggregation
platform (the “FXF Token”). Please read this disclaimer carefully before proceeding to read
this white paper.
FXF reserves the right to introduce changes to this white paper. In the case of a difference
or differences between the versions of this white paper, the latest version of the white paper
published on our website www.finxflo.com shall prevail, and all previously published versions
are considered to be invalid.
Whether taken as a whole or read in part, this white paper is not, and should not be regarded
as, any form of legal, financial, tax, or other professional advice. You should seek
independent professional advice before making your own decision as to whether or not to
receive any FXF Tokens. You are responsible for any and all evaluations, assessments, and
decisions you make in relation to purchasing the FXF Tokens.
The tax characterization of FXF Tokens is unclear. Accordingly, the tax treatment to which
they will be subject is uncertain. All persons who wish to receive FXF Tokens should seek
independent tax advice prior to deciding whether to receive any FXF tokens. FXF does not make
any representation as to whether any tax consequences may arise from purchasing or holding
FXF tokens.
This white paper, together with any accompanying verbal presentation does not comprise a
prospectus or admission document and does not constitute or form part of, and should not be
construed as, any offer or invitation to sell or any solicitation of any offer to subscribe
or purchase any shares or other securities or any other entity by which projects promoted by
FXF are to be held and/or developed.
This white paper and any part hereof may not be distributed or otherwise disseminated in any
jurisdiction where offering tokens in the manner set out this white paper is regulated or
prohibited.
Any distribution of this white paper and the offer and/or sale of FXF Tokens may be
restricted by law in some jurisdictions. It is the responsibility of each recipient of this
document to inform themselves about and to observe any applicable legal requirements. By
viewing this white paper or purchasing FXF Tokens you represent and warrant that you are
legally permitted to do so and assume all responsibilities for complying with applicable laws
and regulations.
Certain statements and opinions in this document are forward-looking, which reflect FXF’s
current expectations and projections regarding the probable development of FXF and its
projects. Statements which include the words ‚‘expects’, ‘plans’‚ ‘believes’, ‘projects’,
‘anticipates’, ‘will’, ‘aims’, ‘may’, ‘would’, ‘could’, ‘continue’ and similar statements are
of a future or forward-looking nature. By their nature, forward-looking statements involve a
number of risks, assumptions and uncertainties that could cause actual results or events to
differ materially from those expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. These
risks and uncertainties include (i) changes in the conditions of the stock or cryptocurrency
markets, as well as changes to the regulatory environment in the countries where FXF will
conduct its business and business activities; (ii) changes in the conditions of competition
under which FXF operates; (iii) the risk that FXF may not be able to implement its plans and
business or may not have sufficient funds to continue; and (v) other factors beyond the
control of FXF. FXF expressly disclaims any obligation or undertaking to update any
forward-looking statements to reflect any change in their expectations or any change in the
events, conditions or circumstances on which such statements are based.
FXF does not provide any assurances or warranties in this white paper. The contents of this
white paper have not been independently verified and therefore no representation or warranty,
express or implied, is given by or on behalf of FXF as to the accuracy or completeness of the
information or opinions contained in this document. No responsibility or liability whatsoever
is or will be accepted by FXF for any loss howsoever arising, directly or indirectly, from
any use of such information or otherwise arising in connection therewith.
DISCLAIMER
The national and international regulatory framework governing blockchain and distributed
ledger technology, in general and related applications, is in the process of being clarified
and might change. It is possible that the interpretation and application of existing laws and
regulations may be amended or adapted and could also be subject to legislative initiatives at
a national and international level. Clarification of and changes to the regulatory framework
could adversely affect the FXF Token without us having any influence on such developments.
This includes, in particular, the risk that acquired FXF tokens may not, or may no longer, be
usable as originally envisaged due to regulatory restrictions, may become unusable and/or the
FXF marketplace platform may need to be adapted to the regulatory environment.
By accepting this document each recipient agrees that the information contained in this
document may not be used by it for any purpose other than the recipient’s own consideration
of FXF and its proposed projects as referred to in this white paper.
The FXF token is a utility token and its ultimate utility will be dependent on the successful
development of the platform on which it is designed to operate. The FXF Token is not a
digital payment token as defined under Singapore’s Payment Services Act. The FXF Tokens are
not securities as defined under Singapore’s Securities and Futures Act (“SFA”). Accordingly,
the SFA does not apply to the issuance of the FXF Tokens. For the avoidance of doubt, the
offering of FXF Tokens need not be accompanied by any prospectus or profile statement and no
prospectus or profile statement needs to be lodged with the Monetary Authority of Singapore
(“MAS”).
FXF Tokens are intended for people who are familiar in dealing with cryptographic tokens and
blockchain-based software systems. The smart contracts executed on the Ethereum blockchain
may contain flaws, vulnerabilities or issues which could cause technical problems or the
complete loss of FXF tokens.
The acquisition of FXF Tokens does not represent an brokerage of cryptocurrencies for any
form of share or security, and does not confer any right to any dividend, interest or similar
financial entitlement. FXF tokens are functional utility tokens to be used on the FXF
platform.
A private key, or a combination of private keys, will be required to control and dispose of
FXF Tokens stored in your digital wallet. Accordingly, loss of the requisite private key(s)
associated with your digital wallet or vault storing FXF Tokens will result in loss of such
FXF Tokens. Moreover, any third party that gains access to such private key(s), including by
gaining access to login credentials of a hosted wallet service you use, may be able to
misappropriate your FXF Tokens. Any errors or malfunctions caused by or otherwise related to
the digital wallet or vault you choose to receive and store FXF Tokens, including your own
failure to properly maintain or use such digital wallet or vault, may also result in the loss
of your FXF Tokens. Additionally, your failure to precisely follow the procedures set forth
for buying and receiving FXF Tokens, including, for instance, if you provide an incorrect
personal wallet address, or provide an address that is not compatible, may result in the loss
of your FXF Tokens.
Hackers or other malicious groups or organizations may attempt to interfere with our website
or the FXF Tokens in a variety of ways, including, but not limited to, malware attacks,
denial of service attacks, consensus-based attacks, Sybil attacks, smurfing and spoofing.
FXF is in the process of submitting an application to the Monetary Authority of Singapore for
a standard payment institution license in order to provide a digital payment token service.
There is no guarantee that FXF will be granted such license and thus may be prevented from
operating its business.
