Ecosystem

What is Adel’s Vision?

To create a decentralized community and self-sustaining macroeconomic ecosystem for blockchain innovation.

What is Adel’s Mission?

To be a global leader in community-based blockchain innovation.

What is Adel’s elevator pitch?

Adel is an incubator for blockchain innovation. • Adel is a global cryptocurrency community that is self-

sustaining, and offers its own economic ecosystem as a community-powered startup incubator with the Adelphoi coin. Our community focuses on creating, developing, and implementing use cases involving blockchain technology that covers a wide range of digital and physical industries. Supported projects are developed, discussed and decided by the community members.

What is Adel’s tagline?

Creating Opportunities for Blockchain Innovation.

What is Adel’s website?

https://adel.io

What is Adel’s Value?

Adel’s value is in the core principles of its ecosystem. This ecosystem promotes the use of blockchain technology while creating innovative solutions for various industries. By leveraging the expertise of the Board, R&D team, and its community members, Adel establishes a supportive and collaborative environment for state-of-the-art projects.

Page 4: FAQ - Adelphoi › assets › pdfs › faq-public-v2.4.pdf · leveraging the expertise of the Board, R&D team, and its community members, Adel establishes a supportive and ... providing

All members of the Adel community work for the benefit of the ecosystem. Projects have the potential to span profitable industries such as IT, banking (FinTech), insurance, healthcare and humanitarian initiatives. Participation in these projects will be sustained by the Adelphoi (ADL) cryptocurrency, thereby providing real-world value by utilizing blockchain technology. Each project will create unique opportunities for ADL holders through the creation of new businesses and employment opportunities. These innovative projects will introduce new applications and technologies for global use.

What is the Idea to Project Supply Chain?

This is a concept created by Adel to combine People Process and Technology so that ideas will flow to project execution. Several steps are required for bringing ideas to a viable business plan and then taking that business plan to launch successful projects. Here is a diagram to illustrate this workflow:

Page 5: FAQ - Adelphoi › assets › pdfs › faq-public-v2.4.pdf · leveraging the expertise of the Board, R&D team, and its community members, Adel establishes a supportive and ... providing

What is the scope of the Adel Ecosystem in terms of business planning, marketing and project capital?

The first phase has established a Limited Liability Company (LLC) in the Isle of Man called Adel Ecosystem Ltd. The role of Adel Ecosystem Ltd. is: • To formulate great ideas into business plans • Facilitate and curate community activities • Protect the Adel brand and filter projects that are deemed

to violate its ethical, moral or legal philosophy • Ensure the Idea to Project Supply Chain is progressing

efficiently and effectively • To provide experienced staff to aid projects launched on

Adel. This includes the Project Review Committee (PRC) for fine-tuning the ideas into a business plan, advice with marketing, legal, development, accounting, operations, etc.

• To serve as the legal entity for the Adelphoi (ADL) coin. The Adelphoi (ADL) coin1 will be a digital currency used primarily within the community. ADL will be used to purchase products, services, and solutions within the community, and to solicit the expertise of other members in community services that help fuel the success of projects. ADL coins will also be used as remuneration where members provide their employment services in projects. In addition, ADL will be the currency used to reward project owners with dividends.

The second phase will entail the creation of a new legal entity to establish a fund license. This entity will introduce a new token called the Adelshare (ADS) and will represent a member’s profit participation in projects. Once the ADS token is established, participants will then buy these shares using their Adelphoi (ADL) coin. Purchasing Adelshares (ADS) will only be possible for Adelphoi (ADL) coin holders.

1 There will be no asset rights or dividends associated with the ADL coin.

Why was Adel created?

Adel was created to provide a trusted, community-driven platform to promote blockchain innovation. The founders of Adel identified a gap in the market where a community model was needed to serve like-minded participants by combining capital, passion and social media.

Adel aims to promote blockchain technology to improve society on a global level and realize cutting-edge projects that will change the world.

The scope of opportunities spans several industries, including government, healthcare, fintech, Internet of Things (IoT), and Information Communication Technology (ICT).

What experience does the Adel staff have in the startup field?

Several staff members have been involved with numerous startups around the world at various stages of development and across a wide range of industries. For example, Gabriel Dusil, one of the Adel Board members, was involved with three successful startups: VeriSign, which was sold to Symantec for US $1.28 billion in May 2010; SecureWorks, which was sold to Dell for US $612 million in January 2011; and Cognitive Security, which was sold to Cisco for US $25 million in December 2012.

Please refer to the team section on adel.io for a list of staff members and their biographies.

What is Adel’s level of transparency and decentralization?

Decentralization ▲ Adel will be mostly decentralized. Since it resides on a public blockchain, there won’t be any centralization in terms of network consensus. The use of funds will also be mostly decentralized, with a minimum of 70% directly funding projects, and the community deciding on how to use those funds. The projects themselves will be decentralized in the sense that the community will be able to vote on when rewards are issued, and can offer their input and expertise on the collaboration forum.

Transparency ▲ Activities in projects, and Adel in general, will be transparent. Not only will Adel be closely monitored through the Community Portal, but key personnel such as Adel Board members, Adel R&D team members, Project Review Committee

Page 7: FAQ - Adelphoi › assets › pdfs › faq-public-v2.4.pdf · leveraging the expertise of the Board, R&D team, and its community members, Adel establishes a supportive and ... providing

members, Adel signatories, staff, and community members are required to be identified members, to meet Anti-Money Laundering (AML), Counter-Terrorism Financing (CTF) and Know your Customer (KYC) legislation. At the same time, Adel will respect the privacy of the community.

You say that Adel is a self-sustained ecosystem. Please explain?

Major decisions are provided by the community. The role of the Adel Board and staff is not to govern, but to support and supervise - making sure that Adel’s philosophy is followed. Essentially, the Adel ecosystem is created by its community members. While the Adel R&D team will propose projects to the community, community members are also able to propose their own projects and become innovators, and receive a percentage of the project’s rewards.

Blockchain

Why did Adel choose Nxt as their blockchain platform?

Adel chose Nxt because they are an ideal Blockchain as a Service (BaaS). For this main reason, Adel established a strategic relationship with Nxt, since they offered the best platform with a set of integrated features to achieve our goals. Our partnership with Nxt is to enable our platform for maximum success with streamlined development and the shortest time to market.

All too often, comparisons between Nxt, Lisk, Ethereum, Ripple, and others are viewed as a war of opposing sides: Apple vs. Google, Coke vs. Pepsi. But at Adel we do not see it this way. From a global perspective, blockchain is still in its early stages, and we feel there needs to be a collective goal to join forces, to make blockchain grow and be successful.

“We're all on the same team”

Adel wants to attract ICO adel.io s from all blockchains. It is our goal to also attract mainstream (non-crypto) adel.io s as well. When adel.io s realize that Adel has a great vision and is

Page 8: FAQ - Adelphoi › assets › pdfs › faq-public-v2.4.pdf · leveraging the expertise of the Board, R&D team, and its community members, Adel establishes a supportive and ... providing

building a solid foundation to be successful, then they will invest. Furthermore, we do not see the market capitalizations of any blockchain as a "glass ceiling". In other words, Adel has a goal to raise 33m US$, which will exceed the market cap of its underlying blockchain partnership. For example, Uber and Airbnb use Android or iOS as their platform, but the market caps of Google or Apple do not dictate the market caps of Uber or Airbnb.

Adel Ecosystem Ltd. will utilize the Nxt blockchain for voting, accounting, and its core infrastructure. In addition, public, private, or child chains on Ardor will be utilized in projects where the benefit of this technology can be utilized

Adel as a blockchain independent incubator. We will utilize other blockchain technologies if there is a better fit in features or functionality. The following blockchain projects are actively supported in the Adel ecosystem, but any blockchain project is welcome:

Why did Adel choose Nxt over Ethereum?

Adel chose Nxt because it was the ideal option for the needs of Adel in the use of blockchain technology. With Nxt, a lot of the features required by Adel, such as asset creation (a feature used to create the ADL coin), were easily available. In addition: • Nxt is a platform that has multiple features integrated

into its core, which Adel required. • Nxt is better for Adel because of the need for frequently

repeated common transactions on the blockchain. • Adel did not need Ethereum’s customizable smart

contracts for its blockchain. Ethereum is more of a platform for smart contracts that require potentially intensive development.

• Adel plans to use phased transactions in the future - one of the most valued features of the Nxt platform.

Page 9: FAQ - Adelphoi › assets › pdfs › faq-public-v2.4.pdf · leveraging the expertise of the Board, R&D team, and its community members, Adel establishes a supportive and ... providing

• Adel needed the ability to create assets on Nxt and utilize its asset exchange. Ethereum has freely issued tokens, but does not have a decentralized exchange at a core level.

• Adel will capitalize on Nxt’s voting to establish a community consensus on approving projects or agreeing on other important decisions.

• Adel will capitalize on Nxt’s dividends feature, built into its core for distribution of funds and project rewards.

• Adel will take advantage of Ardor, once it is deemed suitable, in order to take advantage of the marketplace feature for startup licenses and trading of the ADL currency on an Adel child chain.

How does Adel differ fom the DAO?

There are significant differences between Ethereum’s the DAO and Adel: • Adel will use BTC as the underlying token to be distributed

to projects as seed funding. In addition, contributors to the ICO will be able to use any cryptocurrency, which will then be converted to BTC.

• Adel will run on the Nxt blockchain and will move to Ardor when suitable.

• Nxt and Ardor will have first right of refusal for using their blockchain in a project. But Adel will be blockchain agnostic, whereby any blockchain platform will be permitted if specific features and functionalities are required.

• Adel brings together experienced leaders in fin-tech, ICT, marketing and sales, and investment strategists with global expertise.

• The Adel Board ensures legal and ethical adherence to the Adel Philosophy. For example, a business that would be illegal worldwide cannot be launched on Adel. Adel and its ecosystem is represented by a strong ethical code, ensuring that its projects meet legal and regulatory requirements, as well as being consistent with the Adel Philosophy.

• In addition, Adel will follow a moral code. For example, a project may be legal in a specific jurisdiction, but immoral from an Adel Philosophy perspective.

Page 10: FAQ - Adelphoi › assets › pdfs › faq-public-v2.4.pdf · leveraging the expertise of the Board, R&D team, and its community members, Adel establishes a supportive and ... providing

• Projects suggested by the community will be evaluated by the Project Review Committee - which consists of experts in marketing & sales, venture capital, operations, blockchain, investment architecture, and technology - to refine and polish the project business plans.

• The community will have an open forum of discussion to help improve on project business plans and collaborate on ideas.

• Adel will have an internal R&D team to propose projects to the community.

• A team of advisors including experts in law, accounting, finance, operations and logistics will help facilitate the execution of projects.

• Other benefits in Adel will be available, such as connection to venture capital and angel adel.io s for supplementary project funding.

• Adel has four types of projects that will be possible in Adel's ecosystem: a) When introduced by Adel R&D and it receives a majority of the votes then it becomes a Community Project, b) If a majority is not achieved in 'a)' then it could become a minority, or Group Project, c) If introduced by a community member and it receives a majority of the votes, it will become a Community Innovator Project, d) If a majority is not achieved in 'c)' then it could become a minority or Group Innovator Project.

• Each project type will have a different reward distribution plan and all will receive the benefits of services provided by the Adel ecosystem.

• Adel stakeholders will have liquidity in their contributions in the ability to trade their coins with other members or new members by using third-party exchange services.

• Community members can also promote their expertise for employment in Adel projects.

• Adel is not just an "idea", but a brand that represents innovation.

• Adel isn't just be a platform for project funding. It is a startup incubator for blockchain innovation.

• Adel is blockchain agnostic - it supports any blockchain in its ecosystem or its projects.

• Adel offers a comprehensive Idea to Project Supply chain model to incubate ideas through to project execution.

• Adel combines the best of People Process and Technology to facilitate project incubation.

Community

Can a community member leave Adel once they have contributed to a project?

Community members may leave Adel any time they wish. By leaving the community, they stop participating in the community portal. A member can also leave by selling all their Adelphoi (ADL).

If a community member has submitted a vote before selling their Adelphoi, and voting is still active, then their vote will not be counted.

What happens if the amount of ADL in my account drops below the minimum?

If a member’s account dips below the minimum requirement of Adelphoi tokens (32000 ADL for ICO participants and 64000 ADL for stakeholders who accumulated their coins after the ICO), then their account will be flagged for a specific time period (e.g. 1 week) to allow for the option of increasing their amount of ADL. If this time period expires, then their login to the community portal will be suspended. When a stakeholder’s account exceeds 64000 ADL then their membership activated again.

Furthermore, once the Adel Ltd. entity is established and the Adelshare (ADS) is introduced, then a member’s account will be assessed based on the combined amount of ADL and ADS in their account.

Won’t exclusive membership in the Adel community be harmful in the long run?

Exclusivity helps with protecting the confidentiality of information exchange and project details, and protecting the interests of all members.

Page 12: FAQ - Adelphoi › assets › pdfs › faq-public-v2.4.pdf · leveraging the expertise of the Board, R&D team, and its community members, Adel establishes a supportive and ... providing

Some project details and Adel activities will be published on the public website, but to maintain confidentiality, project information will only be available to members. Adel will find a balance between what should be publicly available to fuel participation and the purchase of ADL coins on exchanges, while protecting project details. Certain secret details may be withheld completely to protect the core intellectual property of a project at the discretion of Adel R&D and the Innovator.

On the Project module, sensitive information will be disclosed to members regarding a project’s status. Allowing members access to that data requires a level of exclusivity. If the portal was open to the general public, then information would be readily available to copycats, scammers, thieves, etc. Membership access, therefore, protects the stakeholders and the interests they hold in projects.

Please explain the different between a Stakeholders, Members and Profit Participants?

To clarify the nomenclature: • Stakeholders represent anyone who has participated in

Adel’s ICO. • Members are those who have joined the community

because they have contributed over 1 BTC in the ICO, or after the ICO windows have over 64000 ADL in their Nxt addresses registered in the account module.

• Profit Participants are those who have purchased ADS in one or more projects. Adel.io s will become possible only after the phase II entity has been established and the appropriate licenses have been granted. Once this occurs then ADL can be used to purchase ADS and Members will also become profit participation stakeholders.

Projects

If a member does not vote to green-light a specific project, will they still benefit from its success somehow?

Members who did not initially approve a project can still participate in the purchase of ADS tokens. If the community

Page 13: FAQ - Adelphoi › assets › pdfs › faq-public-v2.4.pdf · leveraging the expertise of the Board, R&D team, and its community members, Adel establishes a supportive and ... providing

rejects a project, it can still be launched by a minority number of members (called a Group Project), provided the required ADS funds to activate the project have been raised by its members.

In the case of Innovator Projects, a percentage will be allocated to the innovator, 30% to Adel Ltd., and the remaining percentage to group or community members.

Will rewards from projects be subject to withholding tax?

Each member will be responsible for their own tax liability in their country of residence.

What are the steps for submitting a project, compared to when it is open for voting?

The first step in submitting a project is for an Innovator (submitter of the project) to submit their idea to the collaboration module. The idea will first be reviewed by the Project Review Committee for consistency to the Adel Philosophy. The Innovator can be more than one person. The role of the Board is to filter projects that go against the Adel Philosophy. For example, if someone proposes an idea that is illegal, immoral or unethical, then it will not pass Board approval. If the Board approves the project, then the Project Review Committee (PRC) will work with the Innovator to improve the business plan so that it meets all requirements. The PRC will work with the Innovator or Adel’s R&D team to address unclear or missing aspects of the project plan. When ready, the plan will be published on the community Project Module for discussion and further improvements on the Collaboration Module. The PRC will assess when the project is ready for a community vote based on the complexity of feedback from the community, and completeness of the next revision of the project plan. The PRC will provide a window where members will vote on the project plan (this will be done on the Voting Module). Acceptance of a project is done by the community.

Partnerships

It seems that the Adel team is quite well connected. Would there be a possibility of future partnerships with other incubators and VCs?

Adel will be open to collaborating with other incubators if we can establish common interests and goals that combined will generate a higher return than if we worked separately. We anticipate a lot of consolidation in this industry in the coming years where partnerships will form and blockchain companies will merge, or be acquired.

Fiduciary

Legal

What is the legal status of Adel? Where will they be domiciled?

Adel has established a Limited Liability Company (LLC) in the Isle of Man called Adel Ecosystem Ltd. As part of this legal entity the Adelphoi (ADL) coin will be created, allowing members to purchase products, services in the community.

What will be the legal structure for projects?

Projects will reside under a separate legal entity that will also establish a fund license. This entity will introduce a new token called the Adelshare (ADS), and will represent a member’s profit participation in projects. Once the ADS is established, participants will then buy them using their Adelphoi (ADL) coins. Purchasing Adelshares (ADS) will only be possible for Adelphoi (ADL) coin holders.

Page 15: FAQ - Adelphoi › assets › pdfs › faq-public-v2.4.pdf · leveraging the expertise of the Board, R&D team, and its community members, Adel establishes a supportive and ... providing

How will Adel reward participants when projects make a profit or exit? How will this be executed?

Once the new legal entity is established for ADS then members will be able to purchase a project’s Adelshare (ADS) token using their Adelphoi (ADL) coins. Holders of ADS will be able to receive rewards from a project’s success. Rewards will be paid in ADL to the member’s account.

Escrow

Does Adel use an escrow for the ICO funds?

Yes, Adel has an escrow service for the collected funds from the ICO. There are six designated signatories to represent a ⅚ multi-signature escrow (whereby 5 out of the 6 signatures are required to release the funds to Adel Ecosystem Ltd.). Escrow funds are then released to the BitGo2 hot wallet which requires a 3/3 Adel Board approval (i.e. signatures from all three board members) to release funds for projects and Adel Services.

Where are the ICO funds held?

Funds are held in a BitGo account using a ⅚ escrow signatory.

How does the ICO escrow work?

Adel utilizes a BitGo account for the collected funds. ICO funds require five out of six signatories to approve the release of funds. These signatories comprise of three Adel Board members and three external and independent parties, well-known in the crypto community. The funds will be released in a phased manner as follows: • 270 BTCs were released shortly after the ICO (June 2017)

to continue paying developers, legal services, support costs, and expenses needed to set up the licensing structure of Adel Ltd. These funds re used for building the

community portal and its modules, and launching the second phase of Adel and its Adelshare (ADS) token.

• Remaining funds over 270 BTC are held in a 6/6 escrow BitGo account.

• Participants contributing over 1 BTC during the ICO will be invited to become a community member and, depending on their ADL balance. Additional identification details are be collected for members, in order to meet AML/CTF/KYC requirements.

• The ADL coin will also be launched on selected external exchanges for members to trade their ADL.

Will certain milestones need to be reached before the escrow funds are released?

ICO funds over 270 BTCs will be released to Adel Ecosystem Ltd. after the legal license is granted to Adel that establishes the ADS token.

Security

What security measures are in place for the ICO funds raised?

Significant security systems are in place with regards to Adel’s infrastructure in order to protect the funds raised.

Funds are secured in a BitGo account and re only be released by the ⅚ escrow.

Adel is committed to implementing ISO/IEC 27001 (ISMS) as stated in ISMS policy (link) into the certifiable state.

Adel will implement a backup of the private keys in the case of a Board Member’s death, injury, or permanent loss of their community functions.

▲ NXT (in capital letters) is the token used on the Nxt platform. It should not be called a cryptocurrency as much as possible as it was intended to be used as a token within the platform to process activities. In fact, it is encouraged that currencies be built on top of the Nxt platform, such as with Nautiluscoin, which uses the Monetary System feature of Nxt.

Thresholds Disclaimer ▲ Thresholds regarding bonuses for the 1st ICO round will not be altered. For all other thresholds, Adel reserves the right to change the thresholds at any time to align with market conditions, or
