Project information

The Fabric Token ecosystem is a set of programs enabling anyone to develop, test
and deploy their own applications based on blockchain (DApps), and supplies ready-
made smart contract templates.

Fabric Token is designed to help individuals and businesses implement blockchain
technology and smart contracts into their business processes. TokenGen is a web
application developed for individuals to use, that enables anyone to create smart
contracts for tokens and crowdsales.

The Fabric Token ecosystem comprises:
   • Fabric Token – a digital asset to be used as the sole means of payment on
      the platform.
   • TokenGen – a web application that enables users to create smart contracts
      for their own tokens, and create crowdfunding campaigns.
   • DApp Workbench – a platform that will enable enterprises to model,
      implement, maintain and improve their business processes by deploying
      blockchain technology and smart contracts.
   • Fabric Store – a decentralized marketplace to assist third-party
      programmers to develop components for smart contracts.

Summary
The project consists of the Fabric Token ecosystem, built on blockchain technology
and smart contracts. We understand that the project aims to solve problems in
describing and automating business processes via the integration of blockchain and
smart contracts into BPM. Blockchain technology could be useful in this direction,
and the project could attract the blockchain community’s attention as a result.

Strengths of the project:

   •   The chosen market demonstrates high growth rates.
   •   The project has been assembled by an experienced team of developers and
       advisors.

Weaknesses of the project:

   •   The MVP is not yet available; the project team will submit TokenGen 1.0 in
       February 2018 and the beta version of Fabric Store in December 2018 (more
       information about the MVP is disclosed in the relevant section).

Market and industry
A report by Infoholic Research LLP forecasts that the cryptocurrency and blockchain
technologies market will grow by 35.2% in the next 5 years.

In 2017, the total volume of the crypto and smart contractsmarket was about $100
billion [Market Reports Hub], $24 billion of which was based on Ethereum.

The CAGR of the smart contracts market is forecast to be 61.5% for Ethereum up to
2021.

[https://coinmarketcap.com/]

According to the team’s analysis, about 15% of banks worldwide expect to be widely
implementing blockchain technology by the end of 2017; this number will be 66% by
2020. Research by Accenture Consulting conducted in conjunction with McLagan
concluded that banks can save 70% of their potential costs for creation of financial
statements, 30-50% of potential costs of compliance, 50% in business transactions
and 50% in centralized operations. In total this will save about $8 billion.

In addition, smart contracts continue increase in use, as evidenced by a Deloitte
survey conducted at the end of 2016, where 46% of respondents said they would
“conclude contracts with another party using a smart contract based on blockchain”.

The team also provided detailed research on current problems for smart contracts.

Comments: The market for smart contracts is developing dynamically, which assures
us the project will be able to occupy its market niche.

Competitors
   •   Etherparty - contract designer eliminating complexity in creating, managing
       and executing smart contracts on any blockchain system.
   •   Agrello - a platform that develops smart contracts for business.
   •   Blockcat - a visual designer for smart contracts enabling anyone to create
       and deploy smart contracts on the Ethereum blockchain without coding skills.

Summary: Fabric Token has a more balanced ecosystem than its competitors,
predominantly oriented to a specifically enterprise market segment.

Engineering features of the project
The ecosystem is built around blockchain and smart contracts. Solidity technologies
will be used to ensure security.

DApp Workbench acts as a go-to product for the integration of blockchain and smart
contracts into traditional business process management. The application will be
equipped with a drag-and-drop interface built using the BPMN 2.0 standard, which
will enable the import and use of workflows created with other BPMN-compatible
tools.

BPMN is a notation system for modeling business processes developed by Business
Process Management Initiative and supported by Object Management Group after
the merger of both organizations in 2005.

                            Technical description
The ecosystem consists of 4 components:
   • Fabric Token.
   • TokenGen.
   • DApp Workbench.
   • Fabric Store.

1. Fabric Token – a digital asset that will be used solely as a payment instrument for
the products and services provided by the ecosystem.

2. TokenGen – a web application that enables users to create smart contracts for
their token and organize crowdfunding without special programming skills.

TokenGen functions as follows:
 1. A user requests a smart contract for a personal token and crowdsale.
 2. A ticker symbol for the token, its name and other information about the staging of
the future ICO is provided.
 3. Generation and testing of the smart contract occurs.
 4. Payment for the service, receipt of the smart contract.

3. DApp Workbench – an application that enables businesses to use decentralized
technologies within their company’s operations.

4. Fabric Store – a decentralized marketplace that enables third-party developers to
create smart contract components for the Fabric Token ecosystem, thereby scaling
the system.

MVP
The first main component of the ecosystem is TokenGen. Users are able to create
new tokens and hold a company crowdsale using TokenGen.

The main functions of TokenGen are as follows:
   • Token smart-contract templates.
   • Crowdsale functionality.
   • For payments (in Fabric Tokens).

TokenGen is straightforward to operate. Detailed documentation will be available on
the Documentation page of the website after the crowdsale.

Fabric Tokens are intended to be used only as a means of payment for products and
services within the FT ecosystem.

Fabric Token can be used to purchase products and services offered by the FT
ecosystem. This includes token contracts and crowfdunding campaigns generated
by TokenGen, buying a subscription to DApp Workbench, etc. Fabric Tokens will
also be used as a digital asset that third-party developers and users may exchange
in the Fabric Store. The Store will also enable third-party developers to earn tokens
and create a reputation for themselves by complementing TokenGen and DApp
Workbench with proprietary software elements.

These tokens are not intended to be used as a digital currency, securities or other
financial instruments, but as a digital asset analogous to downloaded software.
