Our Mission…
To create a trusted trading environment and liquid Dual Gateway Exchange
that allows users to confidently trade with an enhanced experience by
removing all pitfalls of the unregulated cryptocurrency space and
regulating transactions on a stable and sustainable platform.

1. Executive Overview

It is mostly well known and common knowledge that within the cryptosphere a vast
majority of online exchanges offering crypto trading services are purely unregulated.
This presents a huge cause for concern as unregulated exchanges are high-risk to
both the average investor, day and swing traders and are a fantastic target for
hackers.

In addition to the above, cryptocurrency is a very fragile and volatile market and
cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin have begun to evolve into mainstream adoption
providing for Futures Markets to arise with Derivative Trading aswell as Traditional
Crypto Markets

This is where TAGZ aims to ‘kill two birds with one stone’ in an effort to solve this
problem by creating an environment where Regulation, Security and Liquidity is
paramount and both markets on one platform is also achieved.

We call this a Dual Gateway Exchange (DGE) which allows for both traditional
trading of cryptocurrencies while also offering futures trading in form of derivatives, all
whilst being 100% regulated and eliminating any risk to users.

2. Problems with Unregulated Exchanges
2.1. Regulated Exchanges VS Unregulated Exchanges

There is big need for regulation in the industry with the call of official government
bodies and regulators such as SEC and ASIC cracking down on unregulated
exchanges. This is due to ‘shady practices’ and questionable behavior being
orchestrated by some of the most well-known exchanges still being used today.

❖ Our aim is to clean up the ‘bad taste’ in the industry and focus on setting a
clear benchmark for others to follow.

Our regulation method will aim at protecting users from some of the top flaws and
irregularities caused from unregulated exchanges including:

FLASH CRASHES
Sudden downward spike in price usually caused by panic-
selling and excessive volatility.

SPOOFING
Spoofing is a form of market manipulation by placing an order
which the user doesn’t plan to actually execute to influence
traders.

FAKE VOLUME
Artificially inflated volumes from illegal wash trading.

5
LACK OF DUE DILIGENCE
Minimal or non-existent identity checks on customers from
unregulated exchanges.

PUMP & DUMPS


Pump and dump schemes artificially and rapidly increase the
trading volume and price of specific asset.

SECURITY HACKS
Exchanges not having a tight and stringent security policy in
place.

3. The Platform
3.1. Dual Gateway Exchange
3.11. What is a Dual Gateway Exchange (DGE)?

A Dual Gateway Exchange referred to as a DGE allows for both Traditional Trading
of an asset in what’s commonly known as an Order Book and the market of Futures
Trading where a Derivative is being traded and not the actual asset itself.

The order book lists the


availability of a specified asset
(cryptocurrency) with asking
prices both for buy orders and
sell orders with the ability for a
customer to fulfill an order at the
current best market price. The
price is always determined by
the last sale and is marked
toward the exact asset that is
being traded.
Example of an Order Book (Left)

A derivative is a contract that derives its value from the


performance of an underlying entity. This underlying entity can
be an asset, i.e. Bitcoin or an Index.

❖ As part of our strict criteria and due diligence process our team will only be
selecting the best cryptocurrencies that we feel will benefit from our platform and hold
up true to our high standards.

❖ In order to add new cryptocurrencies to our platform we will ask users of our
platform and community to vote in allowing us to select the right asset to be added.

5. Affiliate Program

In order for our userbase to grow it is important to deploy an Affiliate Program to


incentivize users to be part of our exchange and to encourage others to do the
same.

Most other exchanges have deployed the same philosophy either through paying out
referral commissions upon new user signups or paying out a set amount on trading
activity over a specified time period.

It is with the same intention in mind of running a successful incentive program like
others have that we believe our Affiliate Program has one of the absolute highest
paying commission structures on the internet, if not the highest.

5.1. Affiliate Commissions

Each user on our platform is automatically

25%
approved with an Affiliate Account.

✓ Paid every 30 days


✓ Perpetual trailing commissions

✓ Commission paid on all trading activity fees from each user you bring!
✓ Make a healthy ongoing income from active traders just for telling them about TAGZ.

6.1. Token Utility

As part of our business model, the TAGZ Token was created to reduce exchange
trading fees for all of the users of our platform aswell as increasing the net worth of all
TAGZ Tokens through achieving higher market capitalization.

With this in mind and through the pairings of both USD & AUD, the introduction of the
TAGZ pair against cryptocurrencies offered on our platform provides a clear path to
market.
