2 Token Sale counting down to Q Mission Our mission is five fold: 1 To empower traders with state-of-the-art tools to follow the whales using the SPIKE Protocol. 2 To provide verifiable data to support analysis. 3 To enable a single platform to transact across multiple cryptocurrency exchanges. 4 To automate transactions using artificial intelligence. 5 To encourage lifelong learning for all traders. Spiking has enabled the tracking of big boys as termed by Channel News Asia, where their trades can be followed and executed simply via the Spiking app Spiking Official

3 Despite the explosive growth in the cryptocurrency market, there are five major pain points that majority of traders face: Pain Points for Traders Who are the whales? In cryptocurrencies, the whales are: (1) key executives of the companies behind the cryptocurrency tokens, (2) mining pools, and (3) large holders. Whales have access to critical information which allow them to trade more successfully. Moreover, it is a struggle to close the information asymmetry gap because the cryptocurrency market is largely unregulated and regulations have not caught up to its rapid rise. But how do traders find these whales to get exposure in the cryptocurrency market? What are the verifiable data on whales? According to Accenture the ability to process and understand news in real time is the key differentiator for artificial intelligence. As a result, human thinking and artificial intelligence will become more and more relevant. In particular, human thinking refers to the whales whose sentiments are reflected in their trades. But how do traders know what are verifiable data on whales sentiments and how to collect and verify these data? Where to trade and on which exchange? Whales play an essential role in selecting which cryptocurrency exchanges to trade on. There are five key considerations: (1) reliability of an exchange s reputation, (2) regulatory actions within the country against cryptocurrency trading, (3) customer support to handle questions from traders, (4) margin trading for large volume traders, and (5) fees for trading, depositing or withdrawing funds. When is the best time to buy or sell? Many buy or sell decisions in cryptocurrencies are driven by either FOMO (fear of missing out) or FUD (fear, uncertainty, and doubt) for traders. For some, timing the cryptocurrency movement in a day s worth is comparable to a week or a month of equity market movement and a decade of country debt. One of the cryptocurrency investing schemes is pump-and-dump where fraudsters build hype through social media, messaging boards, and false news reports on crypto-investments. But how do traders who are not in on the plan know when is the best time to buy or sell? How to get started in the first place? Lack of education about cryptocurrencies is one of the key factors affecting mass adoption. In a 2015 PWC Consumer Cryptocurrency Survey, only 83% of respondents said they are slightly familiar or not at all familiar with cryptocurrencies. Recently, Facebook announced that they would begin prohibiting ads promoting financial products and services that are frequently associated with misleading or deceptive promotional practices, such as binary options, initial coin offerings, or cryptocurrency. Consequently, Google and Twitter followed a similar ban on all cryptocurrency-related advertising across any of its advertising platforms. Such restrictions mean that companies like Facebook, Google, and Twitter are limiting its community s access to potentially helpful information. If this continues, how do traders seek knowledge from the experts to pursue their education?

4 Solution Spiking Platform Do not seek to follow in the footsteps of the wise. Seek what they sought. Matsuo Basho With the follower-whale model in mind, the next step is to address each of the five major pain points that traders face in order to execute an overall strategy to bolster the Spiking Platform with artificial intelligence and machine learning. A detailed discussion on the platform specifications as well as architecture will further drill down the foundation for financial technology on Spiking Platform. Data Verification of Whales Trading transactions will be verified in an unfalsified manner through a distributed, decentralized network one that is internally incentivized to be fast, accurate, and cost efficient. Transactions on Multiple Exchanges After a follower mirrors a whale on the Spiking Platform, the system will automatically mirror all transactions from the whale directly into the follower's segregated trading account at Spiking. This ensures the security of the follower's investment as well as prevents the whale from knowing the amount of investment being mirrored. Reward System The current proposed fee model on the Spiking Platform is to reward a whale with 21% commission fee from profits generated directly by the followers' initial capital, with the followers receiving 71% of the profits plus return of initial capital. Lifelong Learning for Traders Spiking seeks to provide universal access to the world's best education in investing and trading, partnering with top whales to offer the Certified Smart Trader (CST) Program.

5 SPIKE Token SPIKE Tokens will be the main transactional token in SPIKE Protocol and will be used in the following ways: Access the entry fee to the SPIKE Platform is to be paid using SPIKE Tokens Send rewards users can send SPIKE Tokens as rewards to the whales as well as use SPIKE Tokens to pay for the CST Program Incentivizing the community users can earn SPIKE Tokens by performing a service in the ecosystem such as writing reviews, personal profile completion, and referral of friends Lifelong learning users can earn SPIKE Tokens when they graduate among the top cohorts or voted among the top instructors in the CST Program

6 SPIKE Protocol The Universal Trading Protocol SPIKE Protocol - The Universal Trading Protocol is envisioned to be a self-governing and self-sustaining ecosystem for mirror trading to be transacted between followers and whales across trading platforms such as stock brokerage houses and cryptocurrency exchanges. For it to be a truly self-sustaining ecosystem for all traders, SPIKE Protocol will have the following components: SPIKE Protocol s Reward System self-executing profit split model based on smart contracts that are live on the blockchain SPIKE Token an ERC20-standard token used to pay for entry fee, platform fee, commission fee, profit, and enrollment fee Spiking Platform a management system for followers to find and follow whales that is based on risk, reward, and review Spiking Verification verifiable data of trading transactions and reviews Spiking Transaction will support trading transactions on multiple exchanges Spiking Education CST Program that will engage, educate, and equip trading experience

7 There will be three revenue streams generated on the Spiking Platform that are collected through SPIKE Token Entry fee Platform fee Enrollment fee SPIKE Token worth 2% of initial capital is charged every time a whale is followed SPIKE Token worth 8% of profit is earned from the profit split model SPIKE Token worth US$2,168 is charged for enrollment into the CST Program Revenue Streams

8 The current proposed fee model on the Spiking Platform is to reward a whale with 21% commission fee from profits generated directly by the followers initial capital, with the followers receiving 71% of the profits plus return of initial capital.
