1 Global Blockchain-Backed Loans Marketplace ICO Invest your crypto assets, get up to 35% returns Light paper March 2018

2 Problems and solutions P2P lending is a market that is currently experiencing explosive growth. The global market volume reached $114 billion in 2017, with no sign of slowing down. However, this expansive growth has presented three major problems: Difficulties in diversifying and managing investments Issues with transparency and reputation Problems with the mobility of cryptocurrency and assets across borders We propose three solutions to them: Cross platform loan aggregator with ratings and blockchain Welltrado P2P fund for global and cross-border investors Portfolio management of loans across platforms in a single dashboard Welltrado is already an experienced player in the P2P platform market, with an early version P2P platform aggregator already up and running. Through our business and experience, we have identified these problems as some of the biggest obstacles facing the P2P market. That is why Welltrado aims to develop three distinct tools for investors, which are designed solve these issues and help P2P investments grow significantly. The following white paper details the Welltrado project and its products, provides a market overview, in-depth description of market problems and solutions, as well as the associated Welltrado ICO and token system.

3 Benefits for investors Benefits for lending platforms Up to 10X higher returns We provide the ability to invest even in places where it has not been possible for more than 10 years. We believe that returns should not vary based on where you live everyone should have access to high interest rates. Up to 20% more investments Welltrado works exclusively with retail and institutional investors only. Internet Lending Platforms have a great chance to get additional investments to their loans while working with Welltrado in a 100% automated and optimized way. Up to 7X faster On average, traditional investors open accounts on 7 different P2P Lending Platforms. It might take days or even weeks to pass a verification process, get used to the new interface, and even longer to manage and track investments. Welltrado makes this process much faster. Create an account at Welltrado, get verified, and all platforms and their loans can be reached with a single click different deposit options Currently 95% of Lending Platforms have very few deposit options. In most cases there is a single PSP integration, or perhaps none at all. Welltrado will provide Lending Platforms with Payment aggregator module which will enable investors to deposit money from any bank or e-wallet (including Paypal, Skrill, Neteller, Credit Cards, Mobile payments other different methods). More than 10M loans in a single dashboard No one can stop your lending, not even politics, economic policies or banks. No middle-men, just you and the loans. Lower your risk by choosing from thousands of P2P lending platforms and millions of loans. 10x faster administration process for investors Many big Lending Platforms prefer to work with a few big investors rather than many single individuals because of cost of administration and verification time. After the ICO Welltrado will seek to become an Asset Management company, making us the preferred source of investments for Lending Platforms. Welltrado will take care of the KYC of investors. Investments have never been so safe You don t need a financial background to lend money. With our loan evaluation algorithms the Welltrado risk system is minimizing the possibility to lose your investments. With help of Big Data and Machine learning, Welltrado will have more accurate Risk assessment criteria than any other P2P Lending Platform. 15% less defaulted loans Welltrado s goal is to aggregate loans from Lending Platforms. With millions of loans gathered, and with the help of big data and machine learning, we will be able to notice particular patterns of loans and borrowers. Therefore, we will be able to assess the risk not just on a local, but on a continental level. This means that Lending Platforms will get additional know-how to their own risk-assessment process and will be able to improve the Risk score of the loans, making investments on their platform more attractive.

4 Welltrado ICO and tokens Welltrado will seek funding through an ICO (Initial Coin Offering) in April The Welltrado token sold during the token launch is known as the Welltrado token, or WTL. This is the only time that these tokens can be created, and therefore the total supply of WTL is fixed. Fees Fees, similar to those of a P2P lending market, will be charged to participants on the Welltrado services and applications layers (but as a reminder, not the basic core layer). These fees will initially be denominated in cryptocurrency, namely ETH. WAT tokens Welltrado seeks to not only create interesting software, but also a community of those interested in sharing their lending wisdom about Welltrado markets. To do this, we have created a model that lowers the barrier to entry for repeat users (e.g., having to pay ETH repeatedly). Therefore, in addition to paying this fee in ETH, Welltrado ecosystem participants will be able to pay the fee in Welltrado Access Tokens, or WAT tokens. Welltrado Access Token (WAT) can be used to pay platform fees on the services layer or for buying/selling in Welltrado loans market or paying fees for funds management. WAT will be pegged to $1 worth of fees. This way, WAT acts as a coupon for $1 of use within Welltrado. Smart contract Welltrado tokens (WTL) are the generator for access token (WAT) creation. WAT can only be created via activating the utility of the Welltrado (WTL) tokens. This is done via a smart contract system. The smart contract works as follows: WTL holders agree to lock their tokens in a smart contract (min. 1 month). A multiplier is added for longer lock durations. The smart contract determines the user selected lock duration and applies that duration to a formula that is designed to regulate the supply of Welltrado tokens currently in use.prior to locking their WT in the smart contract, users will be able to see exactly how much WAT they will receive as a result of executing the smart contract. Once users execute the contract, 30% of their WAT will be distributed for immediate use, and the remaining 70% will be distributed proportionally over the locked duration. Once the lock duration expires, the locked WTL ceases to generate WAT, and the WTL becomes freely transferable by the holder. There is no limit (other than duration) for how many times Welltrado tokens may be used to create WAT. Welltrado ICO 4
