EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
A. Opportunity – Problem & Solution

Virtual currency exchange methods have been invented and evolved rapidly in the
past few years. The popularity of digital assets like Bitcoin and Litecoin is likely to
drive the market growth in the forthcoming years. With the advent of Blockchain,
the technology offers decentralized, fast, transparent, secure, and reliable
transactions (Company Name)ing to an ever-growing interest in the market.

The main reason cryptocurrencies were created is to serve as a digital cash or


payment system that can either replace or serve as an alternative to fiat currencies
and fiat payment gateways. Since the creation of Bitcoin by Satoshi Nakamoto,
cryptocurrencies currently serve several purposes ranging from a basic digital
transaction, a store of value, a means for accessing the utility of a platform or
ecosystem, and in some cases as securities.

Within this backdrop of functionality driven features provided by blockchain


technology, (Company Name) seeks to position itself as an important and all-around
value provider to the blockchain ecosystem and cryptocurrencies in general by
becoming the go to multipurpose wallet of the crypto market. Given that almost all
the cryptocurrencies naturally have a digital money capability and are at the same
time spendable, (Company Name) aims to bring a convenient and simple application
that allows users to easily transact cryptocurrencies while retaining custody over
their assets.

Even though Blockchain and cryptocurrencies are in their early stages they still hold
power to reshape the way financial transactions are being executed globally. The
creation of new and better processes, products, and services via blockchain
technology and cryptocurrencies will undoubtedly change the world forever once
these processes enter the mainstream. However, with any growing technology or
market, there is always a need for improvement. The need for a simple and secure
platform to aid users in transacting with cryptocurrencies from wallet to real world
goods and services has never been higher.

3
(Company Name) BUSINESS PLAN

It is important that there is a complete platform that allows users not just to store
and manage their crypto assets, but to also allow the exchange of these assets
directly to other assets, including real world goods and services without the need of
fiat as an in between. (Company Name) will ensure that users have the most secure
yet easy to use options for storing, sending, receiving, exchanging, and converting
crypto assets to goods and services without interfacing with fiat currencies at any
point.

(Company Name) is built for both personal and business needs and aims to bring a
range of solutions associated with the shortage of real-world applications in the
cryptocurrency market. The creation of the (Company Name) services and its
accompanying infrastructure will allow individuals and businesses to accept most
cryptocurrencies just as they would accept cash or credit in exchange for goods and
services.

a. Problem
Blockchain technology is expected to (Company Name) the future of financial
services and markets. Unfortunately, as of today, this has not happened yet. This is
due to the extensive obstacles inherent in the development and usage of
blockchain technology and the cryptocurrency products and services. The
challenges hindering the growth of blockchain technology and cryptocurrencies,
in general, are enormous and might not be fully captured in any single text.
Some of them are as follows:

attacks such as data hacks, DDoS attacks or viruses, which can (Company

4
(Company Name) BUSINESS PLAN

iii. The problem of Application Use-cases – Current cryptocurrencies just


provide current levels of buy, hold, sell and lack real world use-cases such as
easy use in exchange of goods & services to facilitate trade.

iv. Over Complex and Poor UI/UX Wallet Designs – Most crypto wallets are
difficult to use for beginners as the UI/UX design is not very user-friendly and
makes the process more complicated than it needs to be.

v. Centralized Apps – Most of the existing crypto wallet apps are centralized by
known crypto corporates.

b. Solution
To solve the problems highlighted above and others not mentioned, we propose
the creation of (Company Name). (Company Name) is a decentralized mobile
multi-cryptocurrency wallet application designed to meet the needs of crypto
enthusiasts and aims to drive mass cryptocurrency adoption. (Company Name)
will address the market problems in the following way:

i. Poor Cryptocurrency Management – Integrate to different asset


management tools/engines to aid with asset/portfolio management and
manage personal finances.

custody of their personal data.

iii. The problem of Application Use-cases – Aim to provide users with real use-
case solutions such as implementing a simplified staking mechanism,
recurrent crypto payment methods, and crypto payments for goods &
services.

iv. Over Complex and Poor UI/UX Wallet Designs – Simple UI design to
implement human readable address feature, with easy names to wallets,
making it easier to interact with the crypto ecosystem.

b. Low cost-efficient transactional systems

C. Scope of Business in the Crypto Market


a. Market Size
The global cryptocurrency market is valued at US$ 1 Tn and is estimated to
grow at a CAGR of 11.2% due to the increase in popularity of crypto currency and
with the advent of blockchain technology, the growth has been phenomenal.

According to a recent report by Apptoppia, a record 3.5 million downloads of


crypto wallet apps was recorded in July 2020, an 81% increase from the same
period last year. In addition, the number of active users increased by 110%
between January 1 and August 19, 2020. In the earlier 12 months, downloads
averaged just below two million, with May and June being the only time this

(Company Name) BUSINESS PLAN

mark crossed. The increase in downloads of crypto apps is seen just after
countries started to impose lockdown measures in the wake of COVID-19.

D. Target Customer Segment


There are more than 150 million Crypto users in the world, out of which at least 35
million people use Bitcoin wallets, and more are added to this number every day. The
major target customer segments are mentioned below:

a. Non-Crypto Users
The ease of use of crypto currency has led to the high demand of crypto
marketplaces and wallets.

b. Crypto Enthusiasts
Over 50 million crypto users fall under the category of Crypto Enthusiasts.

c. Corporate Entities
Using crypto currency allows one to offer the highest level of transparency. This
has led more and more corporate entities to using crypto currency.

d. Government Agencies
The US government is one of the largest holders of Bitcoins. As a result, the US
Marshals Service, which is responsible for sales of the confiscated bitcoin, has
become a major player in cryptocurrencies.

E. Funding
We will conduct several rounds of private sale, pre-sale, and public sale. Currently, we
have raised US$350,000 from a presale which was finalized on the 5th of September
2020. Our next funding goal is to raise US$2,000,000 via private investment and VC
in exchange for a 10% equity stake in (Company Name) Cyber Services Limited.

MARKET OPPORTUNITY
A. Opportunity

The nascent potential of the cryptocurrency market has made it possible for
(Company Name) to enter the cryptocurrency ecosystem with products and services
that are vital to the actualization of mainstream cryptocurrency adoption. The still
small market size of over US$150 billion is not close to the previous peak and nothing
compared to the still hidden potential of the cryptocurrency markets. Although
cryptocurrency wallets remain the initial gateway into the growing crypto market;
especially for beginners, the market is still underdeveloped because the market does
not provide simple access to cryptocurrencies – which often are too complex to use
for beginners. In addition, the market suffers from an absence of basic goods and
services that can be accessed by users which slows down user adoption, suffers from
a poor security infrastructure, and in some cases suffers from the centralization of
user funds.

(Company Name) seeks to solve all these problems through an easy-to-use crypto
wallet that scales at any size needed so that people can finally use cryptocurrencies
as a primary means of exchange. To achieve this ambitious goal, the (Company
Name) application will target and operate in several niche markets where we will
either improve on the services that are already available or enter new markets that
no other companies have tapped into yet.

Our product will target the E-payment; E-commerce, E-Marketplaces as well as


Exchanges and Swaps services, in addition to decentralized asset management,
payroll and administrative services and many others. The aim of (Company Name) is
to offer a fully rounded easy to use highly secure crypto wallet product that
essentially will allow people to become their own bank.

(Company Name) will come with the ability to store 100s of crypto-currencies and
will build an infrastructure to support all its operations. To facilitate crypto
swap/exchange services, Multi Sender d-App and multisig e-screw services a lot of
liquidity will be needed. We aim to create the needed liquidity by creating an in-built

11
(Company Name) BUSINESS PLAN

e-commerce marketplace called the C-market where vendors can offer real world
goods and services to users in exchange for cryptocurrencies.

In addition, we want to implement innovative ideas such as a node staking service


for applicable cryptocurrencies so that our users can stake their tokens through
(Company Name) and generate return on their capital. Lastly, we will also want to
enable our users to be able to pay utility bills payment with cryptocurrencies
through the C-Market so that (Company Name) can achieve its goal of becoming the
primary go to wallet of the global crypto currency market.

The total addressable market of the (Company Name) ecosystem is equivalent to the
entire crypto-market and will continue to grow with the emergence of new
cryptocurrency projects that can be integrated into (Company Name).

a. Problem & Solution


i. Problem Worth Solving
▪ Poor Cryptocurrency Management: There is no denying to the fact that
several crypto start-ups have made great steps towards creating
cryptocurrency management systems such as decentralized/centralized
multi-crypto and single-crypto wallets. However, while some of these
wallets have survived several security breaches and attacks, a lot of them
have gone into extinction due to hacks, non-performance, and failure to
meet user needs. As new crypto assets emerge almost daily, there is a
strong demand for a perfect storage and management solution for
cryptocurrencies that can safely and easily backup cryptocurrency wallet
keys and private addresses, which is one of the biggest barriers of entry
for new cryptocurrency users who can be overwhelmed by the technical
aspects of using cryptocurrencies. For example, new users will find it
challenging to safely and easily back-up their wallets and private key
addresses. In addition, crypto asset management or allocation become
more difficult as the market matures and grows more complex. It is hard
for beginners to stay up to date in the rapidly developing ecosystem and
thus beginners are exposed to risks that can be overwhelming to many
as they are unsure about how to handle them.

12
(Company Name) BUSINESS PLAN

▪ The problem of Security: A common problem with cryptocurrency


wallets is the problem of security. Cryptocurrencies are prone to attacks
such as data hacks, DDoS attacks or viruses which in turn can (Company
Name) to loss of funds. Famous hacks such as the Mt. Gox hack led to the
loss of millions of dollars in cryptocurrencies and as the market kept
growing these types of attacks have become more common. In addition,
beginners entering the market are not experienced with best practices
concerning storage of cryptocurrencies which can expose them to
significant financial risk. For these reasons, there is a strong need for a
product that can eliminate all common security risks for users.

▪ The problem of Application Use-cases: For cryptocurrencies to scale


beyond the current level of just buy, hold, and sell, customers and
merchants need cryptocurrency wallets that address real world use-
cases. For example, people should be able to spend their preferred
cryptocurrency to easily in exchange for goods and services without the
need to first convert to fiat; whereas vendors should be able to easily
receive their preferred cryptocurrency for the goods and services they
provide without needing fiat to facilitate trade. Currently, very few crypto
start-ups provide cryptocurrency use-cases, that go beyond the send,
holding and receiving, and in most cases, the use-case scenario is not
available to everyone globally.

▪ Over Complex and Poor UI/UX Wallet Designs: Most crypto wallets are
difficult for beginners to use because the UI/UX design is not very user-
friendly. For example, many wallets do not offer ways to easily manage
wallet addresses so that users can assign human readable addresses to
them or make the process more complicated than it needs to be.

▪ Centralized Apps: (Company Name) is a decentralized multi-crypto app


that does not concentrate the financial, social, & economic power into
one centralized body.

13
(Company Name) BUSINESS PLAN

B. Change in Customer Behavior


a. Increase in Wallet users: Wallets have shown enormous growth for the past two
years. According to www.bitcoin.com, over 30 million wallets have been created
so far. There has been a 5 times growth in the crypto users from the past three
years.
b. International remittance: Crypto wallet payment solutions has catered to the
needs for international payments in 2019 and is believed that more innovation
and design thinking will progress in future.
c. KYC / AML enabled internal checks: One of the features gaining huge traction in
the crypto wallet market is KYC/AML verification. It validates real user identity.

C. Crypto Market Overview


The global cryptocurrency market size stood at US$ 754 million in 2019 and is
projected to reach US$ 1,758 million by 2027, exhibiting a CAGR of 11.2% during the
forecast period. With advanced technological developments, virtual currency
exchange methods have been invented and evolved rapidly in the past few years.
Virtual currencies were initially limited for demonstrable transactions in social and
gaming economies. In the last decades, the developed concept of virtual currencies
emerged as cryptocurrencies. The crypto-currencies were aimed to eliminate
financial intermediaries by direct peer-to-peer transactions. Most of the developing
countries like the US, Germany, China, and the UK have started adopting crypto
currencies as an exchange medium.

The increasing popularity of digital assets like Bitcoin and Litecoin is likely to drive
the market growth in the forthcoming years. Moreover, digital currency is also often
utilized with the integration of blockchain technology to attain decentralization and
controlled efficient transactions. The blockchain technology offers fast, decentralized,
transparent, secure, and reliable transactions. With these advantages of blockchain
and crypto currency, companies are investing and collaborating with other
companies to deliver efficient and quality services to the users.

15
(Company Name) BUSINESS PLAN

least 1,000 bitcoins has increased by 302 (17%) and is now at a record high of 2,052,
according to Philip Gradwell, economist at Chainalysis. Wallets holding 5+ bitcoin
increased by 8,842 in 2020, mainly in wallets holding 5 to 100 bitcoin or 1,000+
bitcoins. This year, wallets holding five or more bitcoins have amassed over 2.4
million coins. The number of wallets holding at least five BTC has increased by 8,842
(4%) to 234,408.

E. Target Customer Segment


There are more than 150 million Crypto users in the world, out of which at least 35
million people use Bitcoin wallets. More are added to this number every day. The
major target customer segments are mentioned below:

a. Non-Crypto Users – The ease of use of crypto-currency has led to the high
demand of crypto marketplaces and wallets. We assume the ease of use of
(Company Name) will help attract more non-crypto users into the market.

b. Crypto Enthusiasts (over 50 million crypto users)

c. Corporate Entities – Using crypto-currency allows one to offer the highest level of
transparency since one can provide information to verify balances and
transactions through the block chain. This has led more and more corporate
entities to using crypto currency.

d. Government Agencies – The US government is one of the largest holders of


Bitcoins. As a result, the U.S. Marshals Service, which is responsible for sales of the
confiscated bitcoin, has become a major player in cryptocurrencies. With the
continuous capture of market share in the crypto wallet market, we expect to
enter intermediary partnership with the government agencies in future.

16
(Company Name) BUSINESS PLAN

F. Competitive Analysis

G. Competitive Advantages
c. Unique products and services in one single app – There is currently no crypto
company offering these mentioned products and services in a single app, and at
best, only a subset of the services we provide are currently offered by a potential
competitor. Therefore, (Company Name) is in an excellent position to capture
market share which will be possible by integrating all the mentioned products
and services in a single app. Few companies exist that can compete against
(Company Name), but (Company Name) will have an edge over potential
competitors through its all-in-one solution to cryptocurrencies. Just like any
blockchain company, we believe that cryptocurrencies are the best financial tool
that can help to bank the unbanked population and open them up to the already
existing financial opportunities already provided by traditional banking.

d. Low cost-efficient transactional systems – In addition to benefiting the


unbanked, (Company Name) can support the banked and businesses by
providing them the opportunity to tap into the blockchain and DeFi markets to
help them transition into the digital economy. Blockchain technology and
cryptocurrencies are changing the entire e-commerce ecosystem by providing
highly efficient transactional systems that provide low-cost, near instantaneous,
24/7 global settlement options to customers and merchants across all regions of
the world. This is a huge opportunity for customers and merchants alike, because
DeFi products can improve global trade relations by making cross-border
settlements easier and more transparent through blockchain technology. The

17
(Company Name) BUSINESS PLAN

low-cost features that cryptocurrencies provide allow (Company Name) to tap


into the low-cost mobile payment and e-wallet services market by claiming a
percentage share of the US$5 trillion global e-wallet and e-payment services
market. Many companies will be able to benefit from getting access to (Company
Name) payment solutions by bringing their products to a global base of e-
commerce customers.

The global accessibility of the blockchain and cryptocurrencies make it possible


for (Company Name) to deliver cost-efficient products and services that are
competitive on the global marketplace. To reach our target market, (Company
Name) will leverage the following avenues: Search Engine Advertisements;
Influencer Marketing; Social Media Advertisements; Global Meetups; Press
Releases and Media Articles; Aggressive Referral System, and Events and
Tradeshows.

(Company Name) BUSINESS PLAN

COMPANY OVERVIEW
A. Overview
(Company Name) is a product of (Company Name) Cyber Services Limited.
(Company Name) is a decentralized multi-cryptocurrency application based on the
Android and iOS platforms. As a decentralized cryptocurrency wallet, its users will be
able to control how they spend, store, and organize their funds. In addition, the
wallet allows users to spend, swap, exchange and stake their cryptocurrency directly
from the (Company Name) interface via a short execution process.

B. Startup Summary
The idea of (Company Name) started sometime in August 2019 when some of the
core team members had a critical survey of the blockchain and crypto space and we
found that one of the major barriers that hinder mass adoption is the fact that
newbies get overwhelmed even when encounter cryptocurrency wallets which is the
second point of contact in the industry.

So, to solve that to make life a whole lot easier for everyone joining the space, as well
as already existing users who encounter difficulties utilizing wallets, we decided to
build a solution that does not only make asset management very easy, but one that
also has a beautiful user interface and optimum security.

We thought of (Company Name) after our own experience of using different wallet
services where many things were missing or still needed to be worked upon, such as:
▪ Poor Cryptocurrency Management.
▪ Privacy concerns.
▪ Over Complex and Poor UI/UX Wallet Designs.
▪ There was no proper education & awareness platform.
▪ On & off ramping from crypto to fiat & vice-versa processes.

With simplified & easy to use wallet we aspire to be the torch bearers of the mass
adoption of cryptocurrencies which was our main motivation to help in protecting
the original idea behind cryptocurrencies and use-cases, we aim to further help
deepen the adoption levels of cryptocurrencies by broadening the gateways that are
available to people to spend and receive cryptocurrencies.

19
(Company Name) BUSINESS PLAN

Initial Steps taken by the Founder to set the start-up.


The first was the idea of a multi-cryptocurrency wallet which is a simple, secure and
decentralized application that is designed to provide DeFi access and other crypto-
related use cases. This idea was based on the gap which was experienced by us as a
user ourselves.

Then we looked for founding the core team members of the project with a proven
track record whom we have, at least, some history with. The key feature was to find
people with a skill set that is complementary to ours. We build our core team
members with expertise and professionals who has experience of working in
marketing, operations, finances and designing background who understands the
requirements of this start-up and works with enthusiasm.

Third step was to create the white paper, branding and brand identity. We decided
on the name (Company Name) which resonates with our mission & vision of being
the (Company Name) & torch bearer of crypto mass adoption. This was the time
when we also secured website domain and other associated marketing materials.
This was also when we made our pitch deck & business plan.

Then we incorporated our start-up as (Company Name) Cyber Services Limited


based in Lagos, Nigeria, which can be traced here https://search.cac.gov.ng/list.

Next step was to raise funds, as till then we were bootstrapping on our own. For this
we partnered with LID Protocol to launch our ILO and that helped us to kick-off our
Project.

Since then, we have been fully dedicated in realizing our vision & mission of mass
adoption of cryptocurrencies.

C. Product
(Company Name) is the world’s simplest and most secure decentralized multi-crypto
wallet for different kinds of crypto-related transactions. With this vision, (Company
Name) will be a platform that will be accessible to users worldwide via Apple and
