ABSTRACT

The blockchain is an open, distributed ledger that can record transactions between two par-ties efficiently and in a verifiable and permanent way. In order to use as a distributed ledger, a blockchain is typically managed by a peer-to-peer network collectively adhering to a pro-tocol for validating new blocks. Once recorded, the data in any given block cannot be altered retroactively without the alteration of all subsequent blocks, which requires collusion of the network majority. The process of adding a transaction to this distributed ledger of blocks is called as mining.

The idea for cryptocurrency mining was that its hashpower would be well distributed among miners, serving as the backbone of a decentralised system, governed by transparent rules and not harmful to the climate because its energy requirements were minimal.

We have experienced an exponential growth of cryptocurrencies in the 2017 and consequently, the need for hashpower followed. The energy consumption increased to a point that based on a report published by the International Energy Agency1, the Bitcoin blockchain consumes more energy than a few countries, such as Algeria and Colombia. Unfortunately, the energy used for most mining activities is produced using predominantly fossil fuels.

Hybrio has developed a system to mine in an efficient and profitable manner using green electricity directly at the source, combining two of the most important sectors of the 21st century: blockchain technology and renewable energies. Allowing us to take advantage of the potential growth of both technologies, and at the same time follows a decentralized approach. Built and managed by a team of mining experts and professionals.

To maximise profitability, HyBriO obtains the latest miners at wholesale prices and elec-tricity at one of the lowest rates in the world, combine that with rigorous safety/security measures and a team of mining experts and you have a winning formula. HBO Token holders automatically obtain a participation in all mining operations. Exactly 75% of HyBriO’s net output is immediately distributed to all HBO Token Holders via our Ethereum-based smart contract. 15% goes into our reinvestment strategy, enabling us to further develop and in-novate our equipment and to continuously boost our payouts. This ensures that our mining operations will always be using the latest and most profitable technology and provides con-tinuous economic growth. The remaining 10% is kept in the HBO Treasury (HBOT) and it is given back to the community in different ways. Refer to Treasury.

HyBriO is a cutting-edge platform that serves as a gateway, connecting cryptocurrency in-vestment opportunities and real, regular people. HyBriO Community Members contribute to building HyBriO’s Mining Centre (HMC) and in return, they share not only their returns in a transparent and equitable way using Ethereum-based smart contracts, but also, they have access to a powerful and diversified investment tool.

1. MAIN ADOPTION OF CRYPTOCURRENCIES

For some time, cryptocurrencies have been the domain of four broad types of users: computer programming enthusiasts, speculative investors, libertarians and criminals. The average person has been deterred due to a number of factors, including a lack of technological understanding, the daunting prospect of downloading a wallet from GitHub, widely reported hackings of ex-changes, volatility, suggestions of Ponzi schemes, and generalisations that cryptocurrencies are just for money launderers and terrorists. It is estimated that less than 1% of the global popu-lation actually owns cryptocurrencies—some say as little as 0.2%, and yet there are 3.8 billion people with access to the internet and 5 billion people with bank accounts who could hugely benefit from this technology.

The world’s curiosity towards cryptocurrency grows. Reputable media outlets have started to report on the progress of Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies. However, while the crypto-currency community has steadily grown, the fact remains that we are still in the early stages of expansion. One of the big advantages, which is the fact that cryptocurrencies are decen-tralized, is, in this case, a really big problem for average mass market users. Decentralization leaves so many opportunities to the user, that alone the number of different wallets is over-whelming, not to mention the different exchanges and the advantages and disadvantages of certain cryptocurrencies.

Mass adoption will not happen unless platforms are developed with an easy to use and intu-itive interface that allows the masses to familiarise with the technology first. When you are dealing with money, you are used to the general layout and approach to online banking, but coins in a cold wallet, private keys, tx id on the blockchain, sounds and look very little like a bank statement. This leads to the fact, that buying cryptocurrencies is, at least for now, a topic that is only graspable for a narrow and tech experienced audience. It’s almost a science.

For all of the above reasons, cryptocurrencies may take some time before reaching real main-stream status. Everyday use would indeed inject a lot of money into the market, but the above difficulties can stop a lot of potential investors, and all but the most determined believers. Imagine a point of entry for potential investors that is simple, safe and diversified. Imagine the potential, billions of people, trillions of dollars. We have not even scratched the surface, we have only seen the tip of the iceberg here.

2. HyBriO’s VISION & UNIQUE SELLING POINT

“Our vision went far beyond mining, our goal is to make cryptocurrency easy-to-use and accessi-ble with an all-in-one investment platform, exploring all possibilities within the crypto sphere, therefore helping and speeding mass adoption. A robust platform that can deliver an ecosystem

designed for investors/adopters of this technology. “

Chris Germano

Perhaps you were not ready for blockchain; but, more than likely, blockchain was actually not ready for you. HyBriO plans to further improve adoption among the masses by making the experience consumer friendly. HyBriO is working on an innovative way to make cryptocur-rencies available and adoptable to a wider group of users/investors, bridging them into the crypto world with greater assurance and therefore following our vision, in which using and investing in cryptocurrencies should be as easy as sending an email.

BEYOND MINING, SMART INVESTING

HyBriO plans to bridge the masses into the world of cryptocurrencies and to eventually be-come a one-stop hub for all things crypto for investors. A single platform with many features that were specifically designed to be as user-friendly and intuitive as possible and most of all, secure. Investors will have the option to own hashpower and therefore, to mine with easy in our Mining Data Centre (HMC) and have earnings paid out directly to their HBO wallet, or to build a Smart Portfolio (SP), a selection of coins matching their risk profile, with one-click of a button. Each portfolio is created with different risk management techniques to best suit the investor’s profile, or to be part of the Synergy Masternode and receive high and stable returns with far less exposure. Lastly, trade HBO tokens for ETH directly with other members at the HBO eXchange (HBOX).

3.5 RESTRICTION FOR INVESTORS

We believe that everyone in the community deserves a share in the profits of crypto in-vestments and that the ecosystem should be as decentralised, democratic, and evenly distributed as possible, one that is open to everyone who is willing to support the network and benefit from it.Based on these principles we have created the HBO token. HBO grants investors the right to receive payouts in various ways within the platform’s ecosystem. As a consequence, our token can be classified as a security in most jurisdictions. In compliance with Swiss and US security laws, holding a token is strictly limited to three categories of investors:

• Investors outside Switzerland if they do not hold a US passport, are not in possession of a US Green card, have no residence in the United States;

• Swiss nationals if they are qualified investors under the Swiss CIS, i.e. investors with a net worth of more than 500.000 CHF who declare that they want to be treated as “qualified investors” (opt-in clause);

• accredited investors under the US Securities Act, Regulation D, Rule 506, i.e. investors with a net worth of more than $1m, excluding their primary residence, or with a net income of more than $200.000 (if married a combined income of $300.000).

3.6 SECURITY

- KYCKnow Your Customer (KYC) procedure is a critical function that verifies each buyer’s iden-tity and residency and checks the source of funds raised during the token crowdsale. To complying with Anti-Money Laundering (AML) Laws, KYC procedure will be carried out before any HBO Tokens are issued. The objective of token sale registration is to enforce a mandatory Know-Your-Customer check to prevent identity theft, terrorist financing, mon-ey laundering, and financial fraud.

- SCAM PREVENTION Send your investment with confidence. HyBriO uses Clearify to prevent scams and phish-ing attempts. Simply copy our token sale contribution address from the dashboard and paste it on their website (https://www.clearify.io/) to verify that you are sending it to our verified address and not a potential scammer.

4. BUSINESS MODEL

Together, we are Stronger!

The blood that runs through the HyBriO ecosystem and business model is the HBO Token. HBO represents a membership in the HyBriO Community, which gives access to the ecosys-tem, its tools and, of course, its rewards. The first element and heart that will pump HBO throughout the entire system will be our HyBriO Mining Centre (HMC).

HMC will be crowdfunded through the distribution of HBO Tokens following an Initial Coin Offering (ICO). Using the funds raised during the Crowdsale, the most advanced mining equip-ment available on the market will be purchased and properly installed in our HMC.

HyBriO’s team has a proven track record and experience in running a successful mining oper-ation. We have been mining for years, constantly delivering exceptional returns for our private investors. This is an expansion of an already working project and not an idea written on a piece of paper. HyBriO aims to scale its operation considerably and invites investors to join our community. We believe that together, we are stronger, and far more can be accomplished. Our already built reputation and relationship with leading hardware manufacturers and tech companies, helped us secure partnerships, granting the best prices possible on the latest hardware, therefore maximising even further the profitability of our mining operations. HMC builds a solid and strong foundation for the rest of the HyBriO’s ecosystem.

Entering our Smart Portfolio, we offer a simple solution for those who would like to have a diversified position in the market. Imagine building an entire portfolio, tailor-made to suit your risk management profile with one-click of a button. Well, that is exactly what we do in the Smart Portfolio. We make the investor’s life easier and safer by selecting, acquiring and securing an array of cryptocurrencies. Members have the option to move funds out of the Smart Portfolio at any time, there is no locking period.

Moving along to our Synergy Masternode. “Synergy is the cooperation of two or more agents to produce a combined effect greater than the sum of their separate effects !!!” We offer something that can only be achieved by our member’s united effort. Together, HBO token holders will achieve the masternode gains but with far less exposure and work done.

HyBriO Mining Centre (HMC), Smart Portfolio and Synergy Masternode, three main features of a tripod platform, supporting the weight and maintaining the stability of the entire project. A hybrid token with a three-point support allows better leverage for resisting adverse situations.

5. MINING

Mining is the process by which transactions are verified and added to the public ledger, known as the blockchain, and also that means through which new coins are created. The pro-cess involves compiling recent transactions into blocks and trying to solve a computationally difficult puzzle. The miner who solves the puzzle gets to place the next block onto the block-chain and claim the rewards. The rewards, which incentivise mining, are both the transaction fees as well as the new coins just created.

To run a profitable, scalable and sustainable large-scale mining operation, the standards should be nothing short than excellence. Our team has the mining experience and know-how to achieve the best results possible.

5.1 HARDWARE Nowadays, cryptocurrency mining is only profitable when done with the latest hardware. Due to HyBriO’s buying history with several of the main manufactures and considering the scale of future orders, HyBriO has already negotiated heavily-discounted prices for our miners. At the moment of this writing, HyBriO’s CEO, Chris Germano, is further nego-tiating price, shipping, warranty and maintenance terms and an agreement will be con-cluded and announced shortly after his return from Beijing in May. The vast majority of ASIC miners purchased will be destined to the SHA-256 algorithm and a small portion to SCRYPT algorithm, taking into consideration manufacturers conditions.

ASICThe ASIC mining hardware manufacturing industry has so far largely been dominated by Chinese manufacturer Bitmain, which has sold equipment equivalent to about 60% of the current hash rate. However, several reputable companies have made promising an-nouncements lately about entering the ASIC mining hardware industry with cutting-edge new equipment.

Another Chinese manufacturer Halong Mining announced its flagship DragonMint 16T miner during the Thanksgiving weekend. Shipping in March 2018, Halong claims the DragonMint 16T will be the world’s most efficient Bitcoin mining rig, delivering 16 Th/s each and running 30% cooler than Bitmain’s S9. The company says its upcoming product is the culmination of around $30 million dollars and 12 months of research and devel-opment by over 100 developers and technicians.

The largest investment in ASIC mining hardware by any company to date, however, was

17

that from the GMO Group, the largest Internet Service provider in Japan, and owner of the country’s leading Forex market exchange and bitcoin exchange GMO Coin. According to GMO Group president Masatoshi Kumagai, the company plans to invest 10 Billion yen, over the next few years on mining hardware.

Planning to manufacture a wide range of chips and mining rigs for both their Scandina-vian mining farm operation and for consumer sale, the company is currently in research and development for multiple lines of ASIC mining chips, including those with 7nm, 5nm, and 3.5nm processes. A full launch of the new business wing is planned for the first half of 2018, although GMO Group has not said if it will sell the product to its consumers first or mine for itself with its new technology.

Last but not least, Samsung announced a deal on Monday, Jan. 29 to manufacture ASIC mining hardware with Taiwanese manufacturer TSMC. “Mass production” of the ASIC chip has already begun in January 2018.

5.2 SMART MINING

Smart mining is the process of switching hashpower across from cryptocurrency to cryp-tocurrency and mining the most profitable coin at a given time. This is imperative for long-term profitability and longevity of the hardware used to mine.

What determines the coin to be mine is based on the hash rate, the coins difficulty to mine, the going rate on the exchanges and its trading volume.

Since the cryptocurrency market has proven to be volatile, HyBriO has developed mech-anisms that hedge against the risk of volatility and ensure investment returns with long-term prospects. The structure of HyBriO is highly adaptable, deciding which coin is mined will occur automatically based on algorithms.

5.3 TRANSPARENCY

A well-designed project will allow for transparency from its inception as It builds trust and increases performance and accountability. HyBriO aims to establish itself as the most transparent mining operation in the crypto space. Every variable related to the mining operation will be disclosed to the token holders. Such as:

18

• Mining equipment transparency: make, model and quantity of miners;• Mining return transparency: weekly mining returns to ensure complete revenue dis-

closure;• Full disclosure of operative costs: that includes electricity, staff, maintenance, etc.;• Full disclosure on energy usage of the mine on a monthly basis.

Already under development, HyBriO’s Dashboard and management software. It will al-low our members to be connected to the HyBriO Mining Centre. The HMC will submit real-time data via API to our dashboard, giving access to key information to our token holders. This data will include daily mining stats, such as Mining returns, Blocks found, Hash rate and all other data related to the operation of the HMC. This process allows for the creation a fully transparent mining operation safeguarding your profit share.

5.4 BEST LOCATION

It has been well-documented that popular cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin and Ethere-um combined use more energy than Iceland, Syria and Jordan. As electricity is one of the first expenses that will need to be considered when setting up mining, it makes sense for major mining setups to consider low-cost countries to be an attractive prospect. How-ever, as Bitcoin continues to grow, regulators are looking to take aim at different sectors, including mining.

There may be other countries where the electricity is more expensive, but regulations around mining and cryptocurrencies are a lot lighter. A politically stable country with a more friendly approach towards cryptocurrency and mining, combined with cheap and clean electricity, seems to be the ideal scenario.

With that in mind and following the steps of the giant Facebook, which claims its Luleå data centre is the most energy efficient computing facility ever built. HyBriO wisely chose Luleå-Sweden as its HQ and terrain, for its mining operation.

5.5 FACILITIES

- HyBriO Mining Centre (HMC):Over years of mining experience, expertise was acquired to select, create and employ the best techniques for mining. Not only experience, but constant research is done re-lentlessly in order to have the best environment within our HyBriO Mining Centre (HMC) facilities. The entire infrastructure will be performed by one of the leading specialists in

19

electrical works and engineering for infrastructures and buildings in Sweden.

- Cooling System & Heat Management:It is cold in the Node Pole: winter averages -20C (-4F). Freezing air from outside is pumped into the building acting as a natural coolant and hot air from the miners are pumped out by our axial fans. This constant airflow management and static pressure monitoring are designed to improve the hardware working environment, keeping the temperature as low as possible and humidity at the correct level at the HMC.

- Network Infrastructure (Stable & Secure):The Internet connection at HMC will be reliable and fast, built with state of the art tech-nology by Lunet, the company responsible for the entire fibre-optic network in Luleå. Two independent Internet feeds will be installed to ensure uninterrupted connectivity. The entire network and equipment will be protected from intrusion, hacking, and DDoS attacks using various methods, including but not limited to: firewalls, filters, access con-trol, encrypted SSL connections, constant review and monitoring of security policies, layered defense with no single point of failure, virtual LANs (VLAN) and other security mechanisms (IPsec, SNMPv3, SSH, TLS) are used to protect network devices and element management systems.

- Security:Physical security plays a large role in data centres and in a cryptocurrency mining facili-ty, even more so. Access control systems with fingerprint recognition for high-sensitivity areas, 24/7 video surveillance systems and around-the-clock security on site, live video feeds from in and out of the facility will be available at HyBriO’s website. Fire prevention is a high priority. The HMC will be built of fire-resistant, non-combustible materials. In addition, several fire detectors and aspirating smoke detectors (ASD) monitor all rooms. The ASDs pick up on the emission of specific gases that stem from overheating electronic components and set off a preliminary alarm. An early warning that detects threats of fire even before they have begun.

- Preventative Maintenance: On-site care and servicing by our team for the purpose of maintaining miners in satisfactory operating condition by providing for systematic inspec-tion, detection, and correction of incipient failures either before they occur or before they develop into major defects. Maintenance, including tests, measurements, adjustments, parts replacement, and cleaning, performed specifically to prevent faults from occurring. In the case of a faulty part that needs replacement, the downtime of the machine is near to zero, thanks to our partners, we hold spare parts on site specifically for that purpose.

20

- Insurance: HyBriO mining equipment will be insured against theft and all kinds of damage, including fire and water. At the time of revision of this Whitepaper, negotiations with the best insurance companies are in progress and will be concluded and announced shortly.

5.6 RENEWABLE ENERGY The location was also chosen for its electricity supply. Sweden and other Northern Euro-pean countries such as Iceland and Norway have a surplus of green energy. The energy provided by Luleå is 100% renewable. The cool climate makes the region the ideal lo-cation for mining centres, with very little additional power required for cooling. At EUR 0.065/kw, Sweden offers a stable supply of clean energy with one of the best prices in Europe. Recently, a new law cutting the tax rate on electricity used by data centres by 97% went into effect. The energy consumed by data centres is now taxed as lightly as the electricity used by Sweden’s steelworks, car plants, and other heavy industries, putting it in line with regional competitors like Norway. It’s not just that electricity is cheaper in Sweden; it’s also cleaner, no wonder tech giant Facebook has moved to Luleå. This com-petitive advantage allows us to ensure the longevity of our business due to the potential growth of our computing power in proportion to the entire network and at the same time, completely eliminating our carbon footprint.

6. SMART PORTFOLIO

It can be a daunting experience for beginners to learn how to buy, decide what to buy and most importantly, secure their cryptocurrencies. Not even the most experienced are com-pletely safe from losing their precious private keys. The Smart Portfolio (SP) is designed to make the investor’s life easier and safer by selecting, acquiring and securing an array of cryp-tocurrencies, building a tailor-made portfolio based on your risk management profile.

No longer there will be the need to spend hours researching and deciding which coins you would like to add to your portfolio, or you will need to access different and sometimes shady exchanges in order to actually buy the selected coins, and most importantly, you will be worry free knowing your crypto is safe and sound in the cold storage of the SP. Simple, safe and convenient.

The team will be constantly working and your portfolio will be always adapting to market conditions accordingly to your risk management profile.

At first, the SP will offer 3 different profiles: OPTIMATIUM , MODERATUS, and FEROX. Eventu-ally, HyBriO plans to offer a tool within the SP in which every investor will manually assess their risk by tweaking the portfolio as preferred.

OPTIMATIUM: A conserv-ative approach is taken in this portfolio, only large market cap coins with a well-established history and more resilient to vola-tility are selected. E.g. Bit-coin, Ethereum, Litecoin, Monero.

MODERATUS: Still a se-lection of large and es-tablished coins with the inclusion of a few more speculative assets with greater upside potential. E.g. Ripple, Neo, EOS, Icon.

FEROX: A more aggressive strategy is applied here, with a larger exposure to smaller cap coins with far greater potential for growth. ICOs are carefully researched and considered after proper due diligence.

7. SYNERGY MASTERNODE

When trying to explain Masternodes, we found that associating it with a savings account with a set minimum balance seems to do the trick for the newest into the crypto space. Now, let us try and dig in a little deeper:

To understand Synergy Masternode, we need to begin with what Proof of Stake (PoS) is.

Proof of stake is a different way to validate transactions and achieve the distributed consen-sus. It is still an algorithm, and the purpose is the same of the proof of work, but the process to reach the goal is quite different. Instead of solving mathematical problems with the goal of validating transactions and creating new blocks (PoW), with the proof of stake, the creator of a new block is chosen in a deterministic way, depending on its wealth, also defined as stake. When you are connected to the network, communicate with other computers, keep a copy and constantly check and update the blockchain, relay simple transactions, you are basically a node in that network.

A masternode is nothing more than a node that fulfils special functions, such as instant or private transactions for example.

Since masternode perform special functions for a cryptocurrency’s network but do cost money and effort to operate, they are incentivized by gaining a larger share of the block rewards in their respective cryptocurrency.

Anyone can run a Masternode. The objective is to have enough of them for decentralization, so nobody controls an important fraction of Masternodes. However, there is one condition that usually has to be fulfilled: You have to stake a certain amount of coins in your master-node. Staking in this context means you lock up the coins for a fixed amount of time (think fixed-term deposit). The coins need to be kept in a certain way. If the owner moves or spends those coins, the Masternode stops working. This “proof of ownership” system serves to incen-tivize masternode operators and to prevent certain individuals to control a large share of the network by themselves.

Furthermore, in order to run some masternodes, you need a server or a virtual private server (VPS) installed, a dedicated IP address, and be able to run 24 hours a day. The reward from a masternode greatly exceeds one generated by a simple node. Together, HBO token holders will achieve the masternode gains but with far less exposure and work

24

done. Increasing, even more, the decentralisation of the various coins selected. Synergy Masternode will run several masternodes simultaneously, taking into consideration quite a few factors, including but not limited to: how old and established to coin is, the price of the node and its rewards, the trading volume on a daily basis, the requirements of the masternode and its locking period. How does it work and how to participate?

Several masternodes will be offered on our dashboard, each with its own characteristics. Users have then the option to allocate the desired amount of HBO tokens in the chosen masternode, considering its risks, returns, locking period, etc. Once the amount necessary to purchase the masternode is reached, allocations are closed to that particular masternode. The HBO is then used to buy the masternode coins and is put to work for a set period of time. The user’s fund is locked for this period, which varies from each masternode. At the end of the masternode locking period, the totality of the coins which includes the masternode rewards is converted back to HBO and then distributed proportionally to all participating members. The user exposure during the locking period would be to the price of the masternode’s coin, and not the HBO token price. E.g. if a user places 1000 HBO in a DASH masternode, the HBO is then converted to DASH. During the locking period, the user is exposed to the price behaviour of DASH and not the HBO token.

Be part of the Synergy Masternode! Mitigate risk and at the same time achieve extraordinary returns that would never be achieved without synergy between all HyBriO community mem-bers.

9. HyBriO DEBIT CARD

Connecting HBO to the real world!

Probably one of the most exciting features of the HBO token will be its prepaid debit card.The HyBriO’s team vision would not be complete without a gateway to the physical world. It serves as a final link, which connects the HBO tokens to your everyday need.

10. HBO TREASURY (HBOT)

HBOT will be the fuel for the expansion of our community by funding our referral program. Every member of the HyBriO platform will receive a referral link upon registering on hybr.io, which can be given as an incentive for new users. $25 worth of HBO will be credited to each as long as the new member acquires at least $500 worth of HBO tokens, it’s a win/win. A re-ferral would only be credited if both parties have passed KYC/AML verifications.

Let’s dive in deeper on HBOT extra features:

10.1 SOS

The HBOT main purpose is of the utmost importance to the HyBriO ecosystem, it pro-vides a priceless feature, stability!

Could we put a price tag on stability, especially within the crypto sphere? It is priceless. That is exactly what HyBriO wants to achieve by having a growing reserve of funds derived from mining operations that would aim to suppress market price volatility and manipulation, ultimately achieving a health and constant growth and becoming a refer-ence of price to other tokens. Inevitably, the action of pursuing stability, provides another feature, liquidity.

Not just a vital tool that supports the continued growth of the community and dimin-ishes unusual price behaviour by providing liquidity to the HBO token, HBOT is much more. Funds that exceed the amount required to run SOS will be given back to HyBriO’s community in 3 different forms every year. First, the totality of the exceeded fund will be converted into HBO, generating even further buying pressure on the exchanges.

10.2 Lottery

12% of the funds will be split into 12 equal parts and given back to token holders in the form of a monthly lottery.

10.3 Charity

24% of the funds will be split into 12 equal parts and given to the most voted charity in our monthly survey. A charity that has received our donation once, may not enter the survey again.

10.4 Airdrops

64% of the funds will be airdropped back to the community proportionally to their in-dividual holdings. A snapshot of all HyBriO’s users wallet addresses will be taken on a pre-announced date on all media channels.

11. CONCLUSION

The protocol is completely aimed to benefit its investors on an extremely scalable business model. The HBO token is backed by real, tangible assets and for the value that it brings to the crypto community. Thanks to the ecosystem structure, a constant stream of revenue is inject-ed periodically to an ever-growing army of miners, that will always be HBO’s backbone and serving as support to reach its full potential. The whole project was designed to incentivise investors to hold and use the HBO token, it promotes the usage of the platform and NOT speculation.

Different from other tokens, HBO does not rely solely on the mining returns, nor solely on its utilities, but a combination of both.

HBO is an evolution. HBO is a hybrid.

13. RISK MANAGEMENT

Participating in cryptocurrency mining offers no guarantee of financial returns or revenues. There are many variables in a cryptocurrency mining operation that will influence directly on its profitability that we have no control over.

Since we are still early adopters of this technology, market volatility and extreme swing in prices are inevitable. Regulatory decisions are on the horizon, fluctuating supply and demand, the increase in the mining difficulty caused by new miners entering the market, are just a few of variables to be considered.

Fortunately, not only we are confident that our knowledge and experience will enable us to minimise these risks and guarantee the efficiency of our mining operations, but most impor-tantly, we trust in the value that the whole HyBriO ecosystem brings to the crypto community in general, helping adoption by serving as an entry point to conventional investors.

- Past performance is no guarantee of future results: price of Cryptocurrencies have outper-formed nearly every financial instrument over the past few years, however past performance does not guarantee future results. As such, HBO Token Holders may be subject to losses.

- Fluctuation in Token Price: despite having a system that aims to minimise volatility to a certain level, HyBriO cannot guarantee any specific token value and shall not be held liable for any change in the value of the HBO Token price. Assumptions regarding the economic landscape, future statements, market conditions, and business decisions are difficult to pre-dict with a high degree of accuracy. While the company makes every effort to deliver and operate pursuant to these statements, the company cannot offer any assurance that these forward-looking statements will prove to be accurate and the investment risks should be carefully considered prior to investment, including consultation an appropriate licensed pro-fessional. HyBriO shall not be held liable for this information and this information is not to be interpreted as a warranty or guarantee of returns.

tional, technological, regulatory, and financial risks. There may be design flaws or vulnerabil-ities that could result in losses.

- Mining Rewards: fluctuations in the price of coins, increases in energy and equipment costs, increases in mining difficulty, the rise of new currencies in this sector, block reward decreases, transaction fee volume, and other factors may affect the profitability of mining and may result in losses.

- Delivery Risk: unforeseen production problems will result in management difficulties and clogs in the pipeline. Ultimately causing delays in delivery of parts, equipment, facilities, and other factors. While best efforts and ongoing due diligence are performed when making company purchases, there is always a counterparty and the risk that a vendor delay or fails to deliver as quoted at the time of the invoice. This may result in losses.

- Sales and Other Taxes: token Holders may be required to pay sales tax and other taxes as-sociated with transactions. Gains may be required to be reported as capital gains or ordinary income. Other legal and tax consequences may develop as this space grows. Consult with your tax professional for advice. HyBriO is not responsible for your tax liabilities and does not claim to make any representations regard tax advice nor provide any tax advice.

- Disclosure of Personal information received from token holders, customers, vendors, em-ployees, and others, including quantities obtained, payments received, account information, etc. may be disclosed to law enforcement, government officials, and other third parties when HyBriO is required to disclose such information by law, subpoena, or court order. HyBriO will claim no responsibility nor be held responsible for any such information disclosure. The com-pany will not share information unless required by law.
