2018
White Paper
The priority task of the platform is to combine and merge the projects
and prospective investors together, provide access to advanced
technologies of project management and open access to the crypto
assets market. We combine prospective government infrastructure
development projects with the security and transparency of blockchain
technology, which enhances reliability and accountability within the
project portfolio to qualitatively high level achievements.
The blockchain technology describes the mechanism of investor
interaction with projects within the platform framework, the token
circulation economy, the mechanism for allocation of finances for the
projects, their functions and interaction models, the project selection
process, CARAT token circulation model, the role in distribution of
rights between projects and platform investors and detailed analysis of
tools that ensure maximum growth and profitability of the projects.

1. INTRODUCTION
Within the investment platform framework, we provide the opportunity for the crypto
market participants to increase their capital through investments in high yield and
scalable government projects. The appearance on the market of a model for financing
of projects in the format of an open investment club creates additional opportunities
for both the project owners and investors, allowing synergic advantages of the venture
financing model with the high yield of the crypto-currency market, the possibility of
diversifying investments with legality and maximum protection of the investor's
interests.
The main objective of the project finance model within the platform framework is to
eliminate non viable projects, to select projects with perspective maximum growth
potential.
Before getting admission to the platform, the project must undergo inspection
procedures, evaluation of product management experts and legal expertise, which
enables private investors to be assured of the liquidity and profitability of the projects
offered for investment, without the need for additional in-dept scrutiny.
2. PROBLEMS OF TRADITIONAL INVESTMENT MODELSThe market of venture investments as well as markets of crowdfunding and crypto
assets are currently experiencing serious difficulties because, after raising funds,
many projects either fail or fall short of the expected results. This situation does not
only create problems for investors but, more importantly, destabilizes the equilibrium
in the prospects of blockchain technology and the very idea of decentralization in
funding management.
02
Private investors have to do a lot of preliminary work on analysis, deal with technical
terms, study the market, the team, the idea and try to assess the project prospects.
But even in this case they are not protected from losses, since it might not be possible
to evade obvious legal instances or issues related to the regulation of intellectual
property. More-so, there could be risks of team disintegration, loss of motivation by its
members, lack of expertise in the industry and many more unforeseen circumstances
not conversant to the investor who is not an insider. These factors could discourage
investors who are potentially interested in investing in the projects.
In contrast to the traditional model of venture capital investments, where there is
necessity to have a large start-up capital involving hundreds of thousands of dollars to
invest in the initial stage, our investment platform gives access to investment in
liquidated government projects and introduces investors into the community that do
not have significant initial investment capital. This gives our projects advantages in the
financing paradigm.
We employ the best professionals who become part of
the start-up team at the time of placement of projects
on the platform and also institute monetization models
for project financing.
03
Additional advantages are as follows:
Quick scaling up of projects.
Projects that are provided with permanent financing
develop rapidly, achieving the declared goals faster
than the competitors, hence they make more profit.
Liquidity of investments.
An investor can withdraw from the project at any time
by putting his share in projects on internal auction
and redistributing investments between other
promising, from his point of view, tools or sell CARAT
tokens on crypto-currency exchanges.
Transparency of investments
Integrating the security and transparency of
blockchain technology will provide investors with a
clear and understandable system for monitoring the
project development indicators. Thus, within the
platform framework, we create a transparent
regulated network aimed at making the most of the
development potential and start-up scaling.

3. FINANCIAL AND LEGAL MODEL OF CARAT TOKEN CIRCULATION
How to do work financing and why does CARAT grow?
The funds received as a result of ICO (Initial Coin Offer) are distributed over personal
accounts in the online account of each investor. The investment platform, as far as the
full volume of funds needed for the project start-up is raised, gives permission to the
project initiators to use these funds and monitors their intended use. At the same time,
the investor will be able to withdraw the purchased tokens from his account to his
personal CARAT wallet and act with them at personal discretion.
The cost of the tokens is tied to the starting price of portfolio projects and do not
publish information about themselves anywhere else and do not attract financing from
any other funds other than the investment platform. As they are launched and
developed, the market value of projects grows and the cost of CARAT increases
accordingly. Holders of CARAT tokens at the time of their acquisition do not act as
investors of a specific legal entity, as in case of concluding an investment agreement.
A token is a digital asset that an investor
receives from a company in exchange
for money.
05
06
Will CARAT be further issued after ICO completion?
The platform plans to form a set of projects. After the
contest is held and the cost of new approved projects
is estimated, there will be no additional issue of
CARAT tokens. The necessary number of tokens for
the next ICO will be redeemed by the platform on the
exchanges. The number of tokens will be calculated at
the time of the issue and will depend upon the market
value of CARAT and the required amount for project
financing.
3.1 CARAT token is a convertible obligation to transfer to the holder a certain
number of shares in one (or several) of the start-ups and projects included in the
project pool, financed by the investment platform and listed on the site of
www.ipn.fund and in the personal account of the investor.
3.2 The number and value of project shares in relation to CARAT token is indicated in
the personal account of the investor, on the platform site, after the registration
procedure is completed.
3.3 Apart from the rules described above, the acquisition of CARAT tokens is
possible by the following procedures:
3.3.1 The Investor creates (or enters an already existing one) the Personal Account
on the website www.ipn.fund.
07
3.3.2 In his/her personal account on the site www.ipn.fund, the investor applies for
the number of CARAT tokens, which he/she intends to purchase and pays the cost of
the tokens.
3.3.3 CARAT tokens are transferred to the Investor’s personal account and upon ICO
completion, the Investor disposes of them at own discretion.
3.3.4 The cost of CARAT tokens is backed by the projects placed on the platform
and regulated by the stock exchange.
As a rule, the Investmen Platform of Nigeria offers
CARAT token, which in the future may give the token
holder the rights to participate in one (or several)
projects available on the platform. A share in new
companies will be sold for tokens formally registered
to the Investor at auctions.
Until recently, industrial production was reserved for
giant companies and governments. The doors to this
kind of activity were not open to an ordinary person
except as workers' wages.
Nowadays, anyone who wishes can become a participant of a large en-terprise through our investment platform.
08
4. ADVANTAGES FOR HOLDERS OF CARAT TOKENS
In the traditional model of venture capital investments, the investor is completely
dependent on the successful development of the project, which he invested in. Within
the framework of the investment platform model, he or she is able, not only to
distribute the investment amount between several projects, but also to sell the share
on crypto-exchanges.
Thus, the model offered by the platform does not only give small investors access to
the ecosystem, but also offers a model of protected investments. This is even more
attractive, since the token holders invest in several projects at once and the possible
risks are not only diversified, but are more compensated by the successful
development of other projects on the platform portfolio.
The platform has a large share in each start-up (which is a blocking package that
influences the strategic decisions of each start-up), from which all is accounted for by
investors who have bought CARAT token.
How can a holder of CARAT token make profit?:
Trade CARAT on crypto-currency exchanges
(the list will be published after the ICO)
Buy at auction, for the CARAT tokens belonging to
him/her, the shares of completed start-ups and
projects included in the platform project pool. By
exchanging public CARAT tokens, the shareholder will
participate in the distribution of profits and/or
dividends.
09
This gives investors the following additional advantages:
Ability to access investment in profitable, scalable
projects
Security and transparency of investments
Analytical and legal support for investments in
projects
Ability to withdraw funds from the project and
reallocate to other investment instruments
Investments only in reliable projects that have passed
the platform expertise
Believing in the prospects of a particular project, the investor buys a public platform
token, which ensures a reduction in risks, as the platform monitors the target use of
funds by the project. Even if a particular project is not successful, the platform token
will lose only a minimal % of the value, proportional to the project share in the total
capitalization of the platform.
10
Prospects for entering at the ICO stage and long term prospects for the growth of the CARAT token value
The main advantage of investing at the ICO stage is the opportunity to buy tokens at a
price below the market, which will give investors a high profitability after the ICO
completion.
Greater profitability will be achieved if the value of tokens increases, which is
influenced by the following factors:
Launching of projects on the platform portfolio
Attainment by start-ups of the profitability stage
Growth of demand for CARAT tokens on the
crypto-currency stock exchanges
Creating of the next project pool
Other start-up development news
The investment platform analyses and selects those start-ups of which capitalization
can increase 10-fold within the next 1-3 years. This depicts a clear manifestation of
profitability for long term investments.
11
5. ADVANTAGES FOR FUNDED PROJECTS AND START UPS
How do finance work and why does CARAT grow?
Launching of projects from the platform portfolio
Attainment by start-ups of the profitability stage
Growth of demand for CARAT tokens on the
crypto-currency exchanges
Creating of the next project pool
Other start up development news
6. TOKEN PLACEMENT PATTERN
CARAT token emission is planned to attract crypto assets equivalent to
$3.000.000.000 or more to finance projects on the investment platform. Token holders
can realize their rights to the issuer by exchanging their tokens (their part) for the
corresponding shares in the platform projects according to the estimated market value
of each project portfolio.
We developed a simple model for the future distribution of profit for CARAT token
holders using the token re-purchase mechanism. Tokens will be issued as a type of
debt obligations.
