1 Wallet Technology Information Presentation 1

2 Basics A crypto currency wallet is a software program that stores private and public keys and interacts with various block chains (in our case Ethereum) to enable users to send and receive digital currencies and monitor their account balance. If you wish to use Bitcoin or Ether or, as in our case, ERC 20 tokens, you will need a digital wallet. How do these crypto currency wallets work? Millions of people use crypto wallets, but there are significant misunderstandings about how they work. Unlike traditional wallets, digital wallets do not store currency. In fact, currencies are not stored in a specific location or are somewhere in physical form. There are only records of transactions that are stored in the Blockchain. Wallets are software programs that store your public and private key and are connected to various Blockchain interfaces so that users can monitor their credit, send money and perform other operations. 2

3 Send and receive cryptos When a person sends you Bitcoins or any other type of digital currency (in our case MCV tokens based on the ERC20 standard), it basically overwrites the possession of the coins (MCV tokens) to the address of your crypto currency wallet. In order to issue these coins and unlock the money, the private key stored in your wallet must match the public address assigned to the currency. If public and private keys match, the balance in your digital wallet increases and the sender's balance decreases accordingly. There is no exchange of real coins. The transaction is only executed by a transaction data record in the associated block chain and a change of account balance in your crypto currency wallet. 3

4 Types of Wallets (1) What are the different types of crypto currency wallets? There are different types of crypto currency wallets that offer different ways to store and access your digital currency. Wallets can be divided into three different categories - software, hardware and paper. Software wallets can be desktop, mobile or online. Desktop (Computer): Wallets are downloaded and installed on a PC or laptop. They are only accessible from the individual computer on which they are downloaded. Desktop wallets offer one of the highest levels of security. However, if your computer is hacked or a virus occurs, you may lose all your money. Online: Wallets run in the cloud and are accessible from any computer anywhere. While online wallets are more convenient to access, they store your private keys online and are controlled by third parties, making them more vulnerable to hacker attacks and theft. Mobile (Smartphone): Wallets can be run on an app on your phone (SmartPhone) and are useful because they can be used anywhere, including in retail stores. Mobile wallets are usually much smaller and simpler than desktop wallets because there is little space available on the phone. 4

5 Types of Wallets (2) Hardware: Wallets differ from software wallets in that they store the private keys of a user on a hardware device such as a USB stick. Although hardware wallets do transactions online, they are stored offline, which increases security. Hardware wallets can be compatible with different web interfaces and support different currencies. It only depends on which one you choose. In addition, creating a transaction is easy. Users simply plug their device into an Internetenabled computer, enter a PIN, send currency and confirm. Hardware wallets allow an easy transaction and keep your money offline and are therefore extremely secure. Paper: Wallets are easy to use and offer a very high level of security. While the term paper wallet simply refers to a physical copy or printout of your public and private keys, it can also refer to software that securely generates and prints a key pair. Using a paper wallet is relatively straightforward. Transferring crypto currency into your wallet is done by transferring funds from your software wallet to the public address specified in your wallet. Alternatively, if you want to withdraw money or spend money, all you have to do is transfer money from your paper wallet to your software wallet. This process, often referred to as sweeping, can either be done manually by entering your private keys or by scanning the QR code in your wallet. 5

6 Are crypto currency money exchanges secure? Crypto currency wallets are secure to varying degrees. The level of security depends on the type of wallet used (desktop, mobile phone, online, paper, hardware) and the crypto service provider. A web server is a risky environment in itself to keep your currency compared to offline. Online crypto currency wallets can expose users to potential vulnerabilities in the wallet platform that can be exploited by hackers to steal your money. Crypto currency wallets, on the other hand, cannot be hacked because they are simply not connected to an online network and do not turn to third parties for security. Since online crypto currency wallets are the most vulnerable to hacker attacks, more careful security precautions must be taken and followed when using wallets. Remember that losing your private keys, no matter what wallet you use, will result in losing your money. If your wallet is hacked or you send money to a fraudster, there is no way to reclaim lost currencies or reverse the transaction. You need to take precautions and be very careful! 6

7 How do I make my wallet safe? Backup your crypto currency wallet: Store only small amounts for daily use online (on your computer or mobile phone) and keep most of your funds in a high-security environment. Cold or offline storage media such as the Cold Wallet "Ledger Nano" or paper protect you from computer failures and allow you to restore your wallet if it gets lost or stolen. However, it does not protect you from eager hackers. The reality is, if you choose an online wallet, there are inherent risks that cannot always be protected against. Update the software: Keep your software up to date so you have the latest security enhancements. You should regularly update not only your wallet software, but also the software on your computer or mobile phone. What more can I do? Setting up long and complex passwords and ensuring that funds are paid out requires a password. Use wallets that have a good reputation and provide additional levels of security, such as two-factor authentication and additional PIN requirements when a wallet application is opened. 7

8 Anonymity & selection criteria? Are crypto currency wallets anonymous? In principle YES, but not really. Crypto currency wallets are pseudonymous. While crypto currency wallets are not bound to the actual identity of a user, all transactions are publicly and permanently stored in the Blockchain. Your name or personal address is not available, but data such as your crypto currency wallet address can be traced back to your identity in various ways. While there are efforts to achieve anonymity and privacy more easily, there are also obvious disadvantages to complete anonymity. Which crypto currency wallet is the best? There is a growing list of options. Before choosing a crypto currency wallet, however, you should consider how you want to use it. Do you need a wallet for daily shopping or just the digital currency for an investment? Are you planning to use multiple currencies or a single currency? Do you need access to your digital wallet from anywhere or just from home? Take some time to assess your needs and then choose the wallet that's right for you 8

30 Operation of the purchased Wallet This depends on the provider and can be found in the instruction manual enclosed with the crypto currency wallet. NOTE: We cannot recommend which crypto currency wallet you and/or your customer should choose, as personal preferences and technical necessities apply. What we can reliably say is that each Cold Wallet (see page 5) is better in terms of security than Online Wallets (see page 4). 30
