What is TenX
When we as the co-founders of TenX got together to start this company, it was our vision to have
assets on the blockchain be not only available to industry insiders, but rather something that can
be used by any individual user in the real world.
Additionally, with the emergence of more and more different tokens, a growing number of users
and businesses truly struggle to leverage on the existing infrastructure to make this inter-
connectedness of physical and virtual platforms become a reality.
At TenX, we strive to offer the user access to as large as possible a range of blockchain assets at
a maximum degree of convenience, while adhering to the highest security standards in the
ecosystem.
We are able to do this by connecting blockchains, leveraging on the COMIT network, including
the COMIT Routing Protocol and the Cross-chain Payment Channels, which works in a
completely trustless, instantaneous and low-cost manner. For further information on the COMIT
network, including the COMIT Routing Protocol and the Cross-chain Payment Channels, please
refer to the whitepaper in respect thereof, accessible at
http://www.comit.network/doc/COMIT%20white%20paper%20v1.0.2.pdf.
Moreover, users and businesses can exchange their blockchain assets seamlessly from one
user to another in a decentralized manner, removing any risk that is usually associated with
current centralized solutions.
Company Background
When we founded our company in mid-2015, we chose Singapore as our main base. These were
the main considerations we had:

Once the user has downloaded the TenX App, he simply enters his phone number and email
address to set up an account.
The cryptocurrencies do NOT need to be converted to fiat money until an actual transaction
happens, in which case such conversion will be conducted in real-time. The user can choose
between different blockchain assets as a source of payment within the TenX App. Further, the
user can conveniently convert a wide range of blockchain assets such as BTC, ETH and DASH
from one to another by simply using his TenX Wallet.
The user can withdraw his blockchain assets and transfer them to another cryptocurrency wallet
without incurring any fees for such transfer at any time.
Product advantages
Multi-asset (any blockchain asset compatible with and accepted by the TenX Wallet)
Assets stay in cryptocurrency
Best available foreign exchange and transaction fees (with no other charges)
Decentralized and trustless storage
Global access to 36 million points of acceptance online and offline in close to 200
countries
Any user from non-US countries can sign up now (sign-ups in the US to follow by the
end of 2017)
Users earn a 0.1% reward for every purchase they make. This incentive will be
transferred to the user in form of PAY tokens initially on a monthly basis, which
additionally gives them the opportunity to become token holders and further benefit from
a potential value upside of the tokens (see the section below entitled TenX Initial Token
Sale for further details). Going forward, TenX aims to distribute the reward more
frequently, with a target of reward distribution on an hourly basis

COMIT Integration
We welcome feedback from blockchain and tech-savvy readers on this part of the
Whitepaper.
Payment Flow
TenX Card holders can use any blockchain asset to buy products and services at any of over 36
million merchants that accept global credit cards. We use Cross-chain Payment Channels of the
COMIT network to allow the user to settle incoming payment requests from the credit card
networks in real-time.
The following is an illustration of how a payment is made in real-time from a users TenX
Wallet and settled on the credit card network
1. User pays at the merchant using his virtual or physical TenX Card
2. The card network will send an authorization request to our servers for the purchase
amount
3. TenX will send an invoice through the COMIT network to the user
4. The user will then choose which blockchain asset to use for the payment and send the
correct amount to TenX through the COMIT network
5. Upon receiving the corresponding amount for the invoice, TenX will authorize the
payment to the merchant
For every card transaction a merchant accepts, the merchant pays 0.5-3% in the form of a
merchant discount fee. This fee is then split among his bank, also called the acquiring bank, the
card scheme and the issuing bank. The fee that is paid to the issuing bank is called the
interchange fee. Traditionally this fee is plain profit for the issuer, but often is also used to give
rewards to the user in form of air miles or similar benefits. At TenX, we reward our users with
PAY tokens on every purchase to allow them to become a token holder. Subsequently, PAY
token holders will receive an incentive of 0.5% of the entire payment volume on the TenX
payment platform initially on a monthly basis. TenX aims to distribute the reward in shorter
periods of time in the future, with a target of hourly reward distribution.
For further information on the COMIT network, including the COMIT Routing Protocol and the
Cross-chain Payment Channels, please refer to the whitepaper in respect thereof, accessible at
http://www.comit.network/doc/COMIT%20white%20paper%20v1.0.2.pdf.
With this vision in mind, we have developed our company TenX to leverage on the advantages
of the COMIT network.

An Initial Token Sale (ITS) is an event in which a new cryptocurrency project sells part of its
cryptocurrency tokens to early adopters and enthusiasts in exchange for funding. For the party
offering the tokens for sale, this has become a well-documented and well-respected way to raise
funds to upscale an existing product or service.
The sale by the Distributor of PAY tokens in connection with an Initial Token Sale (the TenX
Initial Token Sale) to you as a purchaser thereof, will be subject to and governed by the T&Cs
- which is a separate document setting out the terms and conditions of the agreement as between
the Distributor and you in relation to the TenX Initial Token Sale. In the event of any
inconsistencies between the T&Cs and this Whitepaper, the former shall prevail.
The Distributor will be an affiliate of TenX, and will deploy all proceeds of sale of PAY Tokens
in connection with the TenX Initial Token Sale to fund TenXs cryptocurrency project, businesses
and operations.
Unless the context requires otherwise, references to we or us in connection with the TenX
Initial Token Sale shall be construed as references to the Distributor.
Official Website

Each PAY token will be sold for 1/350 ETH, meaning 1 ETH will give you 350 PAY tokens.
Other accepted cryptocurrencies will be converted live in ETH. There is a minimum purchase
amount of 10 PAY tokens per purchase.
We will accept a maximum (fixed limit) of 200,000 ETH, for purchase of PAY tokens in the
TenX Initial Token Sale. The PAY tokens created for such maximum amount contributed will in
turn represent 51% of all PAY tokens. Should this amount be reached before the end of the sale
on 24 July 2017, 8.59pm Singapore Time (UTC+8), which is 4 weeks after the token sale
commencement date, we will cut off the sale.
In the case of an amount of contribution falling below such maximum amount, the percentage of
51% of all tokens will be adjusted accordingly, with the difference between such lower amount
and the maximum amount being reserved for future token sales.
Users of the TenX Card will receive 0.1% from each transaction they make with the TenX Card
initially on a monthly basis, as an incentive in the form of PAY tokens (similar to how users are
rewarded with air-miles or other forms of cash back in kind for usage of existing cards today).
This incentive for users of the TenX Card will have a great benefit to existing token holders
since this recurring redistribution of tokens will create an additional demand for tokens in the
market. This additional reward for users in the form of PAY tokens is bought on the open market
and will create price support.
Please note that we will not create any new PAY tokens after the TenX Initial Token Sale.
If the fund raising in connection with the TenX Initial Token Sale reaches a minimum of at least
50,000 ETH, TenX will be able to offer TenXs services soon on mobile platforms in addition to
Android, including iOS and WebApp. Further, it is envisaged that TenX will explore the
development and operation of a multi-card platform to expand blockchain assets spending
coverage via further issuing partnerships with issuers such as Unionpay and American Express,
in addition to the current issuing partnerships already established.

The COMIT network is a very technically complicated and resource-intensive project. It will
take a lot of resources to establish and finalise it, and it will be a long way until it is live and
operational. However, the COMIT network will fundamentally revolutionise the blockchain
world. In an unprecedented manner, it potentially connects different blockchains without
introducing new hurdles and complications in between them.
The COMIT network will completely change the way the business is conducted and how we
understand todays blockchain ecosystem. On the COMIT network, a plethora of new
applications, functions and services will be built to create a quantum leap for the blockchain
industry.
Such banking licence will give TenX and token holders the benefit of significant increases in
revenues from interchange fees and improved control over card fees, card limits, royalty fees as
well as loyalty points programmes such as airlines.
Obtaining a banking licence is a strategic trojan horse into the fiat currency world, and convince
late adopters and late majority users to begin using cryptocurrencies. TenX intends to offer
normal fiat deposits, which will be fully insured by governments of different jurisdictions. TenX
will be able to issue fiat currency-linked tokens on the blockchain for all users and it will be fully
backed by state guarantees. This will allow TenX to become a major systemic hub and one of the
most important financial institutions connecting blockchain assets and the fiat currency world.
A wide variety of institutions ranging from exchanges to blockchain businesses can benefit from
TenX as bridge between these two worlds.
The US is one of the most important financial markets, which requires dedication of legal and
compliance resources. The capital raised will help TenX build global coverage unlike any other
company.
To start a decentralized exchange we require liquidity, so payments received which are above
150,000 ETH will be used as liquidity for the COMIT network.
Any successful exchange requires liquidity to commence and maintain operations. This will
allow the COMIT network to have a best in class liquidity and spread. Only with that foundation
we can attract more users and therefore more transaction volume. The more diversified the range
of cryptocurrencies and tokens which the Distributor can accept as payment in the TenX Initial
Token Sale, the more liquidity there will be for the COMIT network.
PAY token price 1 PAY token equals 1/350 ETH (1 ETH will
buy 350 PAY tokens)
Target Amount Sold (Fixed limit) 200,000 ETH worth of PAY Tokens
Accepted cryptocurrencies for the ITS Ethereum (ETH), Bitcoin (BTC), ERC20
Tokens and many more (for the full list of
accepted cryptocurrencies, please refer to our
website at https://tokensale.tenx.tech/)
At the same time, TenX feels that it is essential that the interests of TenX be aligned with those
of the ecosystem in the long-term. In order to be able to support long term growth in a
sustainable way, founders, early backers and the development team of TenX will be rewarded
with the remaining 20% of tokens in exchange for their efforts and resources contributed to the
development of the TenX Wallet and the COMIT network.

Funds Escrow
All payments received for PAY tokens in connection with the TenX Initial Token Sale will be
held in escrow in a multi-signature address, with a multi key structure. Keys of this multi-
signature account will stay with TenX, Fenbushi and Ferrell Asset Management Pte Ltd.
Fenbushi is one of the most respected firms in the Ethereum ecosystem. Ferrell Asset
Management Pte Ltd is a MAS-licensed multi-asset manager which has been in operation for
more than 20 years, and was founded by one of our advisors, Mr. David Lee.
Integration of the COMIT network: The COMIT network will be the backbone to operate
the TenX Wallet in a decentralised, instant and true multi-asset manner. The largest
portion of our funds will go towards integrating our TenX App and the TenX Wallet with
the COMIT network
Marketing and sales: The TenX team is driven by some of the best marketing experts in
our team. TenX will continue to run its marketing efforts on a very lean, cost-efficient
basis and keep user acquisition costs one of the lowest in the industry. For further details,
please refer to the section entitled Go-to market strategy below
Multi-platform support: TenX will continuously support and introduce new features, user
interfaces and language support for the TenX Wallet on iOS, WebApp and Android
Development fund: A small portion of the funds will be dedicated for strategic
partnerships to enhance the revenue stream for our PAY token holders. This could be, for
example, in the form of co-branding and co-marketing initiatives with other companies
Based on TenXs earlier successful USD 1 million seed round, TenX is confident to complete a
successful Series A fundraising exercise in the near future. Depending on whether the funding
goal is reached in the TenX Initial Token Sale, this can be between 9 to 24 months from now.
In TenXs opinion, the later TenX raises its Series A, the higher its valuation will be. This will
also have a positive knock-on effect on holders of PAY tokens.
Important notice once again: TenX and/or the Distributor will not create any new PAY tokens
after the TenX Initial Token Sale.
Ethereum (ETH)
Bitcoin (BTC)
ERC20 Tokens
And many more (for the full list of accepted cryptocurrencies, please refer to our website
at https://tokensale.tenx.tech/)
The tokens will be delivered to the purchaser after the purchase. Transferability will start from
the first day of trading, which is planned to start anytime from August 2017.
Usage of Currencies
For each token and cryptocurrency on the list above, you will receive PAY tokens in exchange,
just as if you bought them with Ether or Bitcoin instead. The exchange rate that will be used to
calculate this will be based on the rate of the currency or token you would like to use vis-a-vis
Ethereum.
For example, if users buy PAY tokens in the equivalent value of 2000 ETH or more in ZCash,
TenX will integrate ZCash in its TenX Wallet and users will be able to spend their tokens
directly with the TenX Card and the TenX App.
Illustration of Benefits
Following is an illustration of benefits accruing to the token holders. Please bear in mind that all
numbers are assumptions based on our best estimates.
Based on recent observations of the ecosystem, TenX perceives these numbers as realistic rather
than optimistic. Benefits to token holders are linearly associated with the number of users and
volume of payments through the Tenx Wallet. This can be calculated with the following formula:

Conclusion
We at TenX believe that blockchain technologies and cryptocurrency payments are the way of
payments in the future. In order to make such payments possible for all consumers with
maximum convenience, we aim to connect the blockchains in the background and offer the user
an easy-to-use interface so he has instant access to any of his blockchain assets.
With the TenX Initial Token Sale to be conducted by the Distributor, a wide range of individuals
will have the opportunity to participate in our long-term growth and success story to
fundamentally change the world of payments, transactions and banking.
Our ultimate vision is for any asset on any blockchain, be it real estate, gold or a cryptocurrency,
to be as spendable as a $100 bill in your pocket.
Be part of our success story and join the TenX Initial Token Sale. We are looking forward to
welcoming you on-board our journey into the future.
