EXECUTIVE SUMMARY In the last ten years, the demand for digital and cashless payments has exploded. Due to COVID 19, social distancing rules were put in place to help reduce the spread of the coronavirus, and people were more inclined to pay online or contactless than cash. The growth of cashless payments was supported by the introduction of mobile contactless payment solutions such as Apple Pay, Google Pay, Alipay, and a host of other innovative solutions. The crypto economy leads to the development of an alternative financial and technological infrastructure that is global, open-source, and accessible to all who have access to the Internet. In 2021, the global cryptocurrency market has zoomed past €1.87 ($2.22) trillion in market capitaliza- tion amid a surge in institutional demand. Bitcoin alone has contributed more than €0.84 ($1) trillion after its price more than doubled in 2021 and is currently hovering around €48,068 ($57,000) per digital coin. The cryptocurrency industry is expected to grow significantly due to increased investment in companies working on blockchain and cryptocurrencies. The companies are considering cryptocurrencies and other similar digital assets as investments. As per the estimates by Triple-A in 2021, there are now more than 300 million cryptocurrency users across the world. Abstract INDT is the first crypto asset whose price is intended to mimic the value of Indian Rupees. As a BSC-20 token built on Binance, INDT inherits the speed, security, transparency, and other desirable characteristics of the Binance Blockchain. This combination of the Binance Blockchain and price stability relative to Indian Rupees resulted in a digital asset that provides consumers with a stable store of value. The main target customers of INDT are Indian cryptocurrency traders who want to access global crypto exchanges. INDT Token might collaborate with third-party market makers or independent traders in cryptocurrency exchanges to help ensure INDT price mimics Indian Rupees. Branding and market education will also help in establishing market consensus among traders that the value of INDT tracks Indian Rupees. However, the ultimate price of INDT Token in each cryptocurrency exchange will depend solely on the market forces of supply and demand. Info@indtcoin.com www.indtcoin.com Email Website

Background and Historical Context A Brief History of Money Over the vast history of mankind, money has been a key invention that enables humans to effectively cooperate in producing goods and services, which in turn propels the economy and civilization forward. Before the existence of money, the people of early civilizations would barter goods (such as livestock and agricultural produce) they had in surplus for the ones they lacked. This proved to be cumbersome and inefficient, as the goods are perishable and there is no standard‘unit of value’. To solve this issue, civilizations around the globe invented various forms of physical money. As civilization and the global economic system advanced, mankind invented even more convenient forms of money: paper money, credit/debit card, contactless payment card, and even various digital forms of money. Money in the 4.0 World Blockchain as the future medium Today, we live in a world of unprecedented change and innovation. For the last 20 years, the rise of distributed computing networks called the internet has enabled billions of humans to connect and share information instantly and securely, with zero consumer cost. The benefit is immense and immeasurable. For example, the internet has enabled people from developing coun- tries, such as India, to access high-quality educational materials such as Software Engineering Videos on YouTube and Free online courses from Stanford University. In the last 2 - 3 years, we have seen the rising adoption of QR Code-based payment systems in India. These payment systems are operated by digital wallet providers such as Google Pay and PhonePe. While these services bring tremendous convenience for Indians to transact locally, there are two weaknesses of this approach. First, all the balance records and financial transactions that ever happened on these platforms are stored in a centralized entity, meaning that a sophisticated, malicious attacker could potentially infiltrate and manipulate those balances and transactions. Secondly, as closed platforms, the money stored at any service provider can only be used by users within the system, which prevents important use cases such as cross-application settlement, cross-border remittances, and international transactions.

We believe that distributed ledger technology, or blockchain, will bring the next step in the evolution of money. Just as the internet allowed for borderless and instantaneous movement of information, blockchain technology will allow us to exchange value and transact with one another in the same way: instantly, globally, securely and at low cost. Digital assets such as Bitcoin are too volatile We have seen that throughout history; money can take various forms and shapes. Every asset class that can act as money needs to fulfil main functions: as a means of exchange as a standard unit of account as a stable store of value The Bitcoin boom and bust in the 2017 - 2018 period have shown us that the prices of noncollater- alized crypto assets are notoriously volatile. Even today, we believe that for the foreseeable future, Bitcoin and similar crypto assets are likely to remain more volatile than well-managed national currencies or gold. Such volatility might be interesting for speculative investors and day traders, but it makes the asset unable to be a stable store of value. For money to exist in the blockchain, we need an alternative class of assets that can maintain a relatively stable value. Designing Crypto that is suitable for Indians Basics INDT is the first crypto asset whose price is intended to mimic the value of Indian Rupees. As BSC-20 token, INDT combines the speed, security, transparency, and other desirable characteristics of the Binance Blockchain. INDT Token might collaborate with third-party market makers or independent traders in cryptocurrency exchanges to help ensure INDT trades at a value close to Indian Rupees. Branding and market education will also help in establishing market consensus among traders that the value of INDT tracks Indian Rupees. However, the ultimate price of INDT in each cryptocurrency exchange will depend solely on the market forces of supply and demand. Benefits and Strengths of INDT INDT is built on the Binance blockchain, which gives it the inherent security and transaction immutability of Binance. Info@indtcoin.com www.indtcoin.com Email Website
INDT follows the BSC-20 token standard, which means it is very easy to integrate and inherently compatible with many existing Binance-based applications. All transactions are executed according to the rules of smart contracts, which eliminates human error. Tradeoffs of INDT As with all BSC-20 tokens, transaction confirmation follows the speed of Binance network (about 1 - 3 minutes). This is much faster than Bitcoin but still slower than the ideal user experience. As part of the Binance blockchain protocol, all transactions in the Binance network require the transaction initiator to pay“gas”fees in the form of Binance (BNB), the native crypto asset of the Binance blockchain. This“gas”cannot be paid in INDT or any other BSC-20 tokens. How- ever, this trade-off may one day be resolved with side chain/sharding technology, such as Plasma and Raiden Network. The gas fees required by the Binance blockchain network vary depending on the load/congestion of the network. As a rough estimate, typical transfer costs around 0.0005 BNB, which is $1.5 USD or 120 Indian Rupees at the time of writing. Use-case: Crypto-currency Trading As with all BSC-20 tokens, INDT usage requires at least a basic familiarity with using Binance. Users need to at least know how to use a BSC-20 compatible Binance wallet and hold at least a very small amount of BNB to transact INDT. Because of that knowledge barrier, the ideal adopters of INDT would be existing players in the cryptoasset industry. The main purpose of INDT is to facilitate crypto-asset trading. Indian crypto traders need to exchange their volatile digital assets for crypto with better price stability. With INDT, Indian traders now have the option to convert their volatile crypto into a more stable token (INDT) with respect to Indian Rupees. Not only that, but if INDT is accepted or listed on multiple exchanges, Indian traders can trade between exchanges Beyond cryptocurrency trading, there is a chance that INDT will enable a new class of exciting applications from the developer community. We open-source our code to allow Info@indtcoin.com www.indtcoin.com Email Website
developers to create new and exciting projects that can integrate easily with INDT. Developing a common standard in an open way will spur developers to work with code that is not controlled by any one party, and in the process raise the standard of security and diversity of developers/ applications being built with it. While we may not know what kind of application may emerge, we believe INDT can be used in future Binance-based applications that want to target the Indian market as users. Transparency and trust remain the core offering of the blockchain from day one. We believe a future where existing financial players, blockchain native projects, and government agencies can coexist to foster an open financial system that supports the frictionless and safe transfer of value, both for consumers and businesses. Detailed Technology and Operations Binance and BSC-20 Token Standard Binance is a decentralized blockchain that allows software programs, called Smart Contracts, to be written and executed on the blockchain. BSC-20 is a standard on the Binance blockchain that defines a common list of rules that all Binance tokens must adhere to Token valuation This section will outline the valuation methodology used to determine our token’s current and future price and apply it to a series of assumptions in order to produce an estimate of the fair token price (should those assumptions hold). The quantity theory of money The most widely used valuation methodology for utility tokens is the quantity theory of money and, more precisely, the equation of exchange. Several models based on those principles have been developed and widely accepted by the cryptocurrency community. In a nutshell, the equation of exchange is: M X V = P X T Info@indtcoin.com www.indtcoin.com Email Website
I. M - is the amount of money in circulation within a specific system II. V - is the velocity of money, or in other words: how often does money change hands within a predefined period (most commonly - annually)? III. P - is the price at which transactions are happening within the system? IV. T - is the number of transactions for a predefined period (same period, as the velocity) V. P - in this regard is essentially the total economic output of the system for the selected period, sometimes referred to as GDP of the system. Where: The above formula is not directly applicable to cryptocurrencies (and a commonly encountered error). In a token/cryptocurrency economy, the two sides of the above equation are denominated in different units. When talking about the system's GDP, the expected Revenue is generally used; on the other hand, the equation’s left-hand side is still denominated in the native token. We can solve this by introducing an additional parameter representing the exchange rate between the token and USD (or any other FIAT currency based on the denomination of the system’s GDP). The equation then becomes: his enables us to solve for and get the expected token exchange rate (or token value), provided we can come up with adequate estimations for the other variables. We can now solve for the token value as: Here, we can represent the staked amount as a temporary reduction in the token supply, denominated in USD (SUSD), converted to tokens, based on token price ( ET / USD ). Then we can subtract this amount from the total supply, as follows: MT X ET / USD X V = PUSD X T ET / USD ET / USD = PUSD X T MT X V Info@indtcoin.com www.indtcoin.com Email Website
SUSD ET / USD PUSD X USD ET / USD X V = Following the same transformations, we did previously; we can simplify this equation to: In other terms - the USD equivalent of any staked token amount can be represented as an increase in the GDP (or demand) for the token. This extra“demand”is not affected by velocity. Security of INDT Tokens and Smart Contract Binance Blockchain is tamper-proof Similar to Bitcoin, past transactions in Binance are final and can never be altered. As of this writing, there are currently more than 10,000 Binance nodes running worldwide. To“hack”and alter data/state in the Binance network, a malicious actor needs to have more than 51% of the computing power of those nodes, which is highly improbable. Ownership of INDT Tokens is directly in users’hands Unlike traditional e-wallet applications where the issuer holds the balance of each user inside the issuer’s centralized system, we do not hold custody of users’INDT tokens. INDT tokens are owned by users in their own wallets because users will control their own private keys (the‘password’that signifies ownership of assets on blockchain). Multi-signature design reduces single point of failure We only hire the best, trustworthy people, and we believe there are no malicious actor(s) inside our company. However, we believe we still need to mitigate risk and ensure the security of our internal operations by not allowing a single point of failure to exist. This is achieved using multi-sig smart contract design. During INDT smart contract deployment to Binance blockchain, we established one address as the Owner and three addresses as Administrators. These addresses are each controlled by separate hardware wallets. Any critical operations require at least two signatures, as follows: (MT - ) X SUSD PUSD X T + X V ET / USD MT / V Info@indtcoin.com www.indtcoin.com Email Website
Two signatures are required for minting up to 100 million INDT Two signatures are required to burn INDT tokens at a pre-defined burn address (i.e., we cannot burn tokens located outside of that specific address) Two of three admins PLUS owner signatures are required for: Minting above 100 million INDT in a single transaction. Transferring the token management of the INDT BSC20. Replace, add, or remove an admin. Signature of transactions happen in an offline, air-gapped computer To enhance the security of INDT operations even further, all transactions that interact with INDT smart contract (such as minting, burning, etc.) are done in an offline, air-gapped computer. We then use a separate device to broadcast/transmit the signed transaction to the Binance blockchain. As such, the computer used to compose the signed transactions are safe from external attacks. Conclusion We have presented and built the first crypto asset that mimics the Indian Rupees. By leveraging the Binance network and advanced Smart Contract designs (such as multisignature requirements and offline signing), INDT can act as a stable store of value for Indians to be used in the exciting new era of the blockchain-based economy.
