Who is BTL? BTL is the creator of the next generation blockchain platform, Interbit, a token free, private, scalable and easy to use blockchain platform. With Interbit you can quickly and easily build applications that keep you data private and secure.
Note from the CEO While others compete for time in the spotlight, we have been busy building something truly game changing. As a company BTL has come a long way in the last two and a half years, from becoming a publicly traded company to delivering some of the highest profile blockchain pilots in the industry. Throughout this, we have been building a company, one with a highly qualified and experienced team who are driven to support both what we build and our partners, as we grow the Interbit blockchain ecosystem. Our platform, Interbit, is 100% new code and is a next generation blockchain application platform that will meet the growing needs of our enterprise partners. Our patent pending chain joining technology will support multi-chain architectures that scale horizontally supporting 1000 s of transactions/sec per chain and provide true privacy by allowing sensitive data to be secured in separate chains. We know that blockchain technology is an important tool for developers who need to build distributed, resilient, transformational applications. We intend to provide this tool in a manner that empowers and supports enterprise application developers to implement blockchain for the right reasons. Together, we believe that we can create a new generation of applications that deliver the best of what blockchain has to offer at enterprise scale. While others compete for time in the spotlight, we have been busy building something truly game changing. Dominic McCann, CEO

The Opportunity Research findings point to a significant opportunity for first movers in blockchain technology: The World Economic Forum expects blockchain technology to account for 10% or global GDP by 2027.1 PWC believes blockchain could present a $5B-$10B cost-saving opportunity for reinsurance.2 Worldwide spending on blockchain solutions is forecast to reach $2.1 billion in 2018...and total spending of $9.2 billion in 2021.3 70% potential cost savings on central finance reporting & 50% across business operations.4 15% of other public sector institutions plan to deploy DLT-based applications this year, and another 23% plan to do so within the next two years.5 100% of those exploring blockchain expect the technology to support their enterprises.6 There are uses for blockchain that could give us a competitive advantage, said David Eyton, head of technology for BP. Blockchain can be much more efficient in terms of speed and verification of transactions. rd Financial Times, 3 October 2017 Still, while some see Devcon3 as a showcase of where ethereum is going, others see it as a showcase of the platform's current limitations Scalability is one of the biggest hurdles CoinDesk, 17th October 2017 The Ethereum network itself is brittle, with constant innovation in both the tools, the languages for writing smart contracts, the testing frameworks, and the very structure of the Ethereum system.

Competitive Advantage Interbit Many lightweight and joined blockchains give Interbit the advantage. Speed Scalability Interbit solves the speed problem for blockchain by using many lightweight blockchains instead of just one. Interbit solutions are orders of magnitude faster than single-chain solutions. An Interbit powered application scales by segregating responsibilities across many chains. We ve designed solutions that have more than 40,000 blockchains in a single application! Privacy Privacy on Interbit is absolute because each Interbit chain is a separate privacy domain and each chain has full control over what is shared. Productivity Interbit saves development time. The applications we've built on Interbit have had between 50% and 80% fewer lines of code than writing the same application on legacy infrastructure.
Interbit Roadmap What are our major goals? Q2 2018 Interbit public MVP Security Audit Begins Featuring chain joining, Interbit s way to securely share data between chains. Identity application that allows users to own their own identity Hosting Configurable Application hosting The Interbit Store Application Marketplace BFT Byzantine Fault Tolerance Q3 2018 Marketplace Payment Processing/Billing supported Q4 2018 Mobile Platform expansion All roadmap milestones are estimated and subject to change
Interbit Expansion With our first public milestone, we will be sharing Interbit Core and Interbit Platform with the world. These power the development and deployment of applications which will foster the growth of the Interbit ecosystem. Core is the blockchain engine that powers applications. Our core was built from the ground up, is lightweight enough to run in a browser, and powerful enough to run highly demanding enterprise systems, such as global financial settlement platforms. Ecosystem is our community and the network of applications that they build. Connecting applications with Interbit is easy and so applications can support one another and share services and data with one another. The Interbit ecosystem is a new kind of Internet. Platform is a set of services and components common to applications. Identity management, payment processing, account management, among others. The Interbit platform supports all apps running on Interbit.
Interbit for Energy: OneOffice May 2017, BTL piloted Interbit in a first-of-its-kind energy trade confirmations platform with three European energy companies. In December 2017 the we commenced Phase 2 of the project with more participants. Phase 2 Phase 1 Completed Absolute Network Privacy Scaling Potential (to 100s of Counterparties) Cost Savings >30% In Progress New super majors and energy traders join group to bring size to 9 members A New Standard for Energy Trading
2018 is the year blockchain is commercialized Blockchain technology continues to struggle with scalability, privacy, ease of use, and enterprise adoption. Interbit was built to solve these Scalable Private Secure Interbit is a private, permissioned, scalable, easy to use enterprise blockchain platform. It enables you to build better applications, faster.

Who We Are Dominic McCann CEO & Director Tom Thompson CTO Brian Hinchcliffe Director & Executive Chairman Stella Hall Head of Marketing John Thomson Director Scott Maxwell COO Guy Halford-Thompson Director Rob Suttie CFO
Notes from Management After trying to get enterprise scalability and privacy using Ethereum I realized that we had to start from scratch. We've designed an entirely new blockchain technology that natively supports thousands of lightweight chains that inherently delivers privacy and scalability. All this using well established and proven tools and programming languages. There is absolutely no one else doing blockchain the way we are. I passionately believe in the transformational potential of blockchain technology. BTL has correctly identified and solved for the privacy and scalability challenges through the innovative design and architecture of Interbit which I directly experienced during the Interbank Settlement pilot. The team is focused on excellence, meeting and exceeding client expectations, along with building a compelling vision for the future. - Tom Thompson, CTO (Creator of Interbit) - Jon Downing, Advisory Board
