mai multe hârtii detaliate vor fi lansate în viitor, în legătură cu mecanismele de consens și Prefață Bitlumens aduce electricitatea din energii regenerabile folosind Internet of Things (IoT) și Blockchain- ul femeilor din mediul rural din America Latină. Grație energiei solare și tehnologiei noastre, oamenii acum pot folosi electricitatea, să își încarce dispozitivele, până chiar și să își ude recoltele! Femeile închiriează dispozitivele noastre și plătesc rata în tranșe în token-i BLS. Acest lucru le permite să își construiască un credit score de împrumut pentru incluziuni financiare și pentru diminuarea sărăciei. În plus, membrii familiei pot cumpăra token-i pentru a trimite o remitere care ar acoperi costurile mașinii, adică facturile de apă și electricitate pot fi acoperite. De asemenea, noi cuantifică reducerea de carbon și particule din fiecare gospodărie pentru a permite femeilor să devină ulterior emitenți de certificate de emisii.Obiectivele curecte ale Bitlumens sunt:

1. Lansarea a 100 de sisteme fotovoltaice cu stocare până la sfârșitul lunii Aprilie 2018.

2. Adăugarea software-ului pentru a rula hardware-ul folosind token-i până la finalul lunii Mai

3. Aplicarea IoT pentru a urmării diminuarea emisiilor de particule și carbon. 4. După luna Iunie vom adăuga pompe cu panou solar în ecosistemul nostru.MisiuneMisiunea noastră este să oferim o platformă peer-to-peer, în care utilizatori adoptă sistemele fotovoltaice cu stocare pentru a reduce emisiile de carbon și pentru a furniza acces la iluminare și apă în locuri unde nu există rețea electrică. Platforma noastră permite închirierea Solar Home Systems (SHS) să fie posibilă prin rate exprimate în Token-i Bitlumens (BLS). Scopul nostru este de a avea un impact pozitiv atât din punct de vedere social cât și asupra mediului înconjurător. Noi furnizăm energie solară satelor izolate, reducând astfel CO2-ul si pericolele pentru sănătate. Înlocuim utilizarea lămpilor pe kerosen, motorina, plasticul, biomasa și biocombustibili având ca scop iluminare și irigare cu tehnologii solare. Acest lucru le permite agricultorilor să își reducă costurile și să își mărească economiile, asigurând în același timp incluziunea financiară și în unele cazuri crearea de locuri de muncă. Platforma noastră digitală își propune să ofere soluții distribuite, gestionate de consens și sisteme fotovoltaice cu stocare inteligente în gospodăriile cu resurse scăzute. Platforma noastră contribuie la SDG-urile UN, în special cu: Energie Accesibilă și Curată, Orașe și Comunități ce se pot Susține, Bunăstare și Stare Buna a Sănătății, Egalitate între Sexe și acțiuni privind clima. Bitlumens GmbH este înregistrata și situată în Zug, Switzerland.

1.1 miliarde de femei rămân excluse din sistemul financiar, datorită lipsei documentelor de identificare adecvate. Identitatea nu trebuie să constituie un obstacol în calea incluziunii financiare și a împuternicirii economice. În plus, potrivit estimărilor World Energy Outlook, 1.2 miliarde de oameni nu vor avea acces la energie electrică, în timp ce 2.7 miliarde de oameni nu vor avea un mediu curat pentru gătit. Doar o mică parte din locuitorii mediului rural au acces la electricitate [a se vedea tabelul 1]. Adesea, acestea depind de combustibili ineficienți și periculoși, cum ar fi biomasa, kerosen, plastic, lanterne pe baterii și lumânări. Combustibilii și procesele sale de combustie contribuie la eliberarea gazelor cu efect de seră în atmosferă. Dintre acești combustibili, kerosen-ul este o sursă de CO2 și funingine. Carbonul negru sau funinginea, rezidă numai câteva zile sau săptămâni până când un fenomen natural numit coagulare apare acolo unde picăturile de nori și particulele de aerosoli se atrag. Acest fenomen ajută la curățarea atmosferei prin eliminarea particulelor de aerosoli. Prin urmare, înlocuirea tuturor lămpilor din toată lumea cu lămpi solare ar putea avea efectul pe termen scurt la reducerea încălzirii globale. O singură lampă cu kerosen emite peste 100 kg de CO2 pe an atunci când este folosită patru ore pe zi. La nivel global, arderea kerosen-ului pentru iluminare generează 240 milioane de tone de CO2 pe an, aproximativ 0,5% din emisiile globale. De fapt, doar prin înlocuirea lămpilor cu kerosen din Africa și Asia cu panouri solare s-au salvat 1.4 milioane de tone de CO2, numai în anul 2014. În plus, arderea zilnică a 20 kg de lemn emite aproximativ 200 de grame de PM2.5, echivalent cu fumatul a 10.000 de țigări.Sectorul energetic din America Latină și din multe alte regiuni în dezvoltare prezintă provocări majore pentru îndeplinirea cerințelor energetice. De fapt, unele dintre aceste țări se bazează pe combustibilifosili pentru a satisface cererea de energie. Volatilitatea prețurilor, lipsa combustibililor fosil, reglementările guvernamentale asupra prețurilor combustibililor fosil, mișcările geopolitice, întreruperile de energie și atenuarea schimbărilor climatic sunt variabile cheie majore ce trebuie luate în considerare pentru securitatea energiei. Cu toate acestea, America Latină prezintă o cantitate vastă de surse de energii non convenționale regenerabile cum ar fi energia vântului sau a soarelui care ar putea fi exploatate pentru a aborda fiabilitatea energetică și securitatea acesteia.

Bitlumens aduce electricitatea în zonele rurale, contribuind la reducerea CO2, promovarea egalității între sexe și promovarea incluziunii financiare cu

ajutorul platformei.

Tabelul 1 prezintă mega-trendele pentru care este necesară dezvoltarea de proiecte cu sisteme fotovoltaice cu stocare. Numărul mare de oameni fără energie electrică, ieftinirea panourile solare, creșterea telefoniei mobile (cu cartele SIM) și consumul mare de energie pe surse de energie ineficiente sunt câteva dintre variabilele care le luăm în considerare pentru modelarea soluțiilor pentru sistemele fotovoltaice cu stocare. În plus, ne concentrăm asupra intersecției disponibilității ridicate a telefoanelor mobile, ratei scăzute de electrificare, numărul ridicat de adulți fără cont bancar și rata ridicată de adopție a kerosen-ului împreună cu a altor combustibili ineficienți folosiți pentru gătit sau electricitate.

Înlocuirea kerosen-ului și a biomasei În multe țări în curs de dezvoltare, kerosen-ul (parafină) este folosit pe scară largă drept combustibilpentru iluminare sau gătit. Utilizarea kerosenului drept combustibil pentru iluminare este o sursă importantă de carbon negru (BC) și dioxid de carbon. Mai ales în zonele rurale în care majoritatea familiilor folosesc noaptea lămpi pe kerosen ce luminează slab în casele lor. Fumul ce provine din arderea combustibilului în interiorul casei poluează aerul cu particule periculoase, care pot dăuna ochilor și plămânilor, totodată putând cauza și accidente. Potrivit unor diferite studii, 3.5 milioane de decese premature apărute în fiecare an sunt cauzate de mediul ambient plin de fum. Energia serviciilor sistemele fotovoltaice cu stocare provenită din surse regenerabile nu vor înlocui doar folosirea de kerosen cu diode electro luminescente (LED), dar de asemenea reduce efectele secundare produse în urma arderilor. O altă sursă de combustibil o reprezintă arderea pinului, arderea folosită în America Latină ca sursă de lumină. Precum kerosen-ul, arderea pin-ului poate de asemenea cauza probleme de sănătate, pe termen lung afectând sistemul nervos și rinichii.

Lămpile alimentate cu Kerosen și biomasă nu sunt atât de eficiente ca lanternele pe LED alimentatesolar. Precum s-a menționat, kerosen-ul este un combustibil periculos și ineficient folosit pentru lămpile cu fitil care furnizează mai puțină lumină în comparație cu lămpile solare. Lămpile pe kerosen furnizează între 1 și 6 lumeni pe metru pătrat. LED-ul are o eficiență mai mare - măsurată în lumeni pe watt - este mai calitativă și oferă o cantitate mai mare de lumină în comparație cu lămpile cu kerosen. Folosirea lanternelor pe LED determină reducerea emisiilor cu efect seră și costurile de operare. O lampă pe kerosen ce produce 37 de lumeni în intervalul de 4 ore pe zi va consuma trei litri de kerosen pe lună având un cost de 0.35 USD pe litru în India. Majoritatea clienților izolați locuiesc în zone rurale și folosesc doar 2$ pe zi. Astfel, costul energiei reprezintă o mare parte din cheltuielile lor. Însă, companiile distribuitoare de energie(DESCO) aduc forme noi de finanțare în casele oamenilor ce locuiesc în zonele rurale.

Combinând tehnologia curata, fintech-ul, blockchain-ul și procesarea cloud,Bitlumens oferă software ca un serviciu (SaaS) femeilor din satele rurale care au

nevoie de energie, putând astfel accesa Sun Home Systems (SHS).

și să reducă emisiile de gaze cu efect de seră la un preț competitiv. Unele dintre aceste companii folosesc “plata pe măsura efectuării operațiilor” pentru a oferi acces persoanelor care nu acces la bani. Această soluție reprezintă un leasing, oferind opțiunea de a deține tehnologia atunci când toate plățile au fost efectuate. Bitlumens oferă o soluție în sprijinul sătenilor pentru a avea acces la ID -uri, micro-credite și electricitate folosind panouri solare și blockchain-ul. Combinând tehnologia curată, fintech, blockchain-ul si procesarea cloud, Bitlumens oferă software ca un serviciu (SaaS) femeilor din mediul rural, care au nevoie de energie, primind acces la Sun Home Systems (SHS). Cele din urmă sunt niște dispozitive ușor de folosit, nepoluante și Internet of Things (IoT) inteligent care aduc energia celor fără cont bancar în locuri fără rețea electrică.

În mod ideal, Kit-ul nostru Solar va folosi inițial un panou solar de 15/20/50W și baterii Litiu Fero- Fosfat (LFP) de 3000 mAh. Vom vinde 3 sisteme care vin cu diverse instalații, în alte cuvinte, două porturi de încărcare USB; lămpi cu LED cu intensitate reglabilă a luminii; TV LCD cu iluminare pe LED; Radio și TV. Bateria ar trebui să reziste 5 ani și sistemul are garanție de minim 2 ani. Sistemul trebuie să ofere utilizatorului: creditul disponibil, disponibilitatea bateriei, electricitatea consumată, perioada de iluminare, costul zilnic și puterea dată la borne. Datele vor fi trimise rețelei zilnic între 7-10 pm.

Kitul solar este conectat la un contor inteligent și la telefonul utilizatorului. Noi folosim circuitelogice programabile (CLP) care permit măsurarea curentului. Există și câteva circuite care pot fi folosite pentru a determina voltajul și curentul generat/consumat. Fiecare senzor trebuie conectat la un convertor analog-digital în Controler-ul Hardware. Vom avea nevoie de cel puțin un circuit la intrarea Panoului Solar și altul la ieșirea bateriei. Cu aceste valori se calculează puterea produsă și consumată. Contorul inteligent funcționează folosind soluții LPWAN pentru IoT, care pot funcționa pe o distanță de câțiva kilometrii. Senzorii vor furniza date sub formă de mesaje text, cum ar fi creditul disponibil, disponibilitatea bateriei, electricitatea consumată, durata iluminării, costul zilnic și energia furnizată.

Blockchain-ul Off Chain: ID-urile digitale nu sunt parte din blockchain, dar vor fi centralizate. Fiecare utilizator va putea să aibă propriul ID și istoric al creditului. Această informație poate fi distribuită către terți care oferă soluții de microîmprumut, guvernelor și băncilor de dezvoltare. Utilizatorii pot primi acces la microcredite plătind o dobândă specifică bazată pe variabile personale și comportamentale

On chain: Ideea este ca investitorii noștrii să știe când tranzacțiile utilizatorilor sunt făcute. După ce tranzacția este introdusă în sistem de către agenții noștri, Bitlumens va plăti acestor agenți un comision exprimat în token-i

.

Sistemul va cuprinde (cel puțin) următoarele componente:

(i) Un contract inteligent pentru crearea token-ului (Ethereum)

(ii) Un contract de sistem pentru facturarea utilităților (Ethereum)

(iii) IPFS (stocarea fisierelor decentralizat bazată pe cheie hash)

(iv) Un server centralizat pentru a reține datele amprentelor și legalizarea prin notariat a

Echipa Bitlumens va deține cheia privată pentru a adăuga sau elimina agenți. Agenții au puterea să adauge facturi de utilitate pentru clienți. Flux-ul de lucru este următorul: agentul merge la casa clientului, adună banii și cumpără un token din piața OTC pentru client să îl folosească (astfel încât ea să poată folosi hardware-ul).

Bitlumens oferă acces unei platforme care conectează soluțiile de microcredit utilizatorilor care nu au acces la o bancă, oferind SHS. Noi vom furniza băncilor cooperative informații cheie de care au nevoie pentru deschiderea unui cont sau pentru a facilita serviciile de finanțare având dovada unui microcredit valid. Fiecare utilizator va putea să aibă propriul ID și istoric al creditului. Această informație poate fi distribuită către terți care oferă soluții de microîmprumut, guvernelor și băncilor de dezvoltare. Utilizatorii pot primi acces la microcredite plătind o dobândă specifică bazată pe variabile personale și comportamentale. cererilor de identitate (acceptate/refuzate)

Token-i Comision pentru agenți Agentul Cumpără

Token-i BLS Agentul primește token-i comision Agentul poate tranzacționa token-ii în piața OTC Token-i cumpărați de clienți Apoi, agentul crează o tranzacție blockchain care conține date despre factura de utilitate a clientului. Agentul încarcă informații detaliate către IPFS. Noi folosim fișierele IPFS pentru a reține informațiile în fișierele acestea. Mai concret, tranzacția conține următoarele informații: informații cu vedere la valoarea token-ului, probabil și o parte din consumul de energie (dar numai o parte, deoarece stocarea pe Ethereum este foarte costisitoare) și un hash IPFS către fișierul ce conține detaliat consumul de energie. Fiecărui client îi este asignat un număr de utilizator, care ii identifică în mod unic. Pentru scopuri KYC, este suficient pentru ca banca să ceară server-ului (iv) să verifice dacă numărul clientului se potrivește cu amprenta corectă. De îndată ce aceștia se pot încrede în numărul utilizatorului, aceștia se pot uita la contractul inteligent blockchain(ii) pentru a estima rating-ul de credit a clientului și să participe la un microcredit. Este de asemenea posibil să adauge o funcționalitate de rating de credit, unde o agenție de rating de credit ar asocia numerele clienților cu rating-uri de credite, astfel făcând procesul mai ușor pentru bănci. Managerul de zonă, agentul și investitorul interacționează prin aplicația noastră web și mobile. Datele on chain și off chain comunică folosind oracle. Token-ii pot fi tranzacționați pe un blockchain public prin intermediul Ethereum. Un strat adițional de contracte inteligente este adăugat pentru a executa instrucțiuni bazate pe condițiile predefinite.

Licențierea Software-ului la o entitate de MicroîmprumutSoftware-ul Bitlumens poate fi licențiat băncilor (SaaS) în schimbul unei taxe sau a unui procent. Bitlumens ajută Băncile de Credit să creeze noi împrumuturi durabile, apoi formează un consorțiu sau vinde aceste credite investitorilor terț unde fiecare microcredit are o parte din hardware ca și garanție. Acest proces permite crearea legală de împrumuturi și transfer de fonduri către creditor bazat pe licența bancară existentă. Pe partea de plată, depozitarul colaborează cu Banca de Credit Cooperativă și toți membrii care au împrumutat în platformă vor fi înregistrați ca membru al băncii cu permisiune deplină de AML/KYC și asociat.Înainte de a obține un împrumut, agenții vor efectua un raport preliminar extern de evaluare (“due diligence”) pentru fiecare sătean interesat, incluzând variabile comportamentale. Platforma va evalua scorurile de credit și obține un scor de credit pe baza informațiilor colectate și pe baza cadrelor de reglementare adoptate în fiecare țară. Permiterea și Verificarea Certificatului de Reducere a Emisiilor (CER)

Bitlumens îndeplinește cerințele bazate pe mecanismul curat de dezvoltare (CDM) în confirmitate cu articolul 12 din Protocolul de la Kyoto și obține certificatul de reducere a emisiilor (CER). Reducerea emisiilor atunci când sătenii nu utilizează biomasa sau kerosen-ul ca surse de lumină. Această informație este inclusă în cadrul masurării, verificării și raportării (MVR) în temeiul Acordului de la Paris. Metodologia măsurării este luată de la comisia interguvernamentală privind schimbările climatice(IPCC). Raportarea se face prin acțiunile luate pentru reducerea GHG și privind măsurile de adaptare care sunt considerate realizări relevante pentru obiectivele de schimbare a climatului. În plus, verificarea datelor este realizată prin sistemul național MRV și prin ICA. Ideea este să licențiem platforma guvernelor pentru a vizualiza reducerea emisiilor în diverse teritorii a tării folosind senzorii, IoT și blockchain-ul. Acest lucru va permite o auditibilitate clare și posibilitatea de a intra pe piețele de Credit-Carbon.

License the Software to a Microlending Entity

Bitlumens software can be licensed to banks (SaaS) in exchange for fees or revenue share. Bitlumens helps the Cooperative Credit Banks originate new sustainable loans, then it syndicates or sells these loans to 3rd party investors where each microcredit has a piece of hardware as collateral. This process allows for the legal creation of the loan and transfer of funds to the borrowers based on an existing banking license. On the payment side, the depository is a collaborating Cooperative Credit Bank and all members who borrow on the platform will be onboarded as a bank member with full AML/KYC and associated accounts.

Before originating a loan, agents will perform the due diligence on each interested villager, including behavioral variables. The platform will evaluate credit metrics and derive a credit score based on the collected information and on the regulatory framework adopted in each country.

Allow Certified Emission Reduction (CER) and Verification

Bitlumens measures emission reductions and allow green project verifiers to certify these reductions

Bitlumens fulfills the requirements based on the clean development mechanism (CDM) under the article 12 in Kyoto’s protocol and earn sealable certified emission reduction (CER) credits. The emis-sion reductions occur when villagers don’t use biomass or kerosene as lighting source. This informa-tion is included in the measurement, verification and reporting (MVR) framework under the Paris Agreement. The methodology for measurement is taken from the intergovernmental panel on climate change (IPCC). Reporting is done through the actions taken to mitigate GHG and on adapt-ability measures that are considered relevant to the achievement of the climate change objectives. In addition, data verification is done through national MRV and through ICA. The idea is to license the platform to governments to visualize the emission reductions in different areas of the country based on sensors, IoT and the blockchain. This will allow clear auditability and the possibility to enter into Carbon Credit markets.

these in centralized servers supporting encryption. In addition, agents will upload the KYC, load profile while the system will calculate the credit score based on the user’s credit history. We expect to have one project manager per 100 users, installing between 60-100 systems each month. Microlend-ing institutions are providing technical assistance while working closely with their women’s project. Hence, our goal is to train women and make them part of our team as agents. Their wages will depend on the region and are based on commissions. During the third trimester, we expect to have a regional manager to support us on scaling the project in the country.

The following table shows the breakdown of how we expect to invest the funds over a period of 3 years:

We started the development of an API. Our web api will communicate with oraclize. Communica-tions between Pay as you go systems front-end dashboard, loggers, and mobile app and Bitlumens back-end’s HTTPS server are via RestAPI/JSON. Bitlumens back-end system uses a PostgresSQL data-base to store the actual data points and IDs. It runs a full ethereum node, and is used for data retrieval and analysis. In addition, we will use Solc compiler, IBM Hyperledger, Ethereum, Java, HTML, IPFS, Native iOS/Android, PHP, Node, Golang and Haskell.

The role of the blockchain within Bitlumens operation is to record each user’s KYC information and the already predefined smart contract to preserve verifiable records of the contract’s conditions during each installment. In addition, we plan to move into microgrids once we had collected data on how much users pay per month, their load profile or electricity consumption and what is the power generation from each device. We aim to reduce the costs of utility companies who cant build hun-dreds of kilometers of power line to transmit and distribute energy. Decentralized energy systems give the option to rural communities to get electrified while reducing their carbon footprint.

On Bitlumens, the only state update that can be settled on the blockchain is that of a transfer of tokens. The platform allows for fiat payments in exchange of tokens. The storage and verification of data are placed on a private chain where only investors can access. However, women are the sole owners of their data and Bitlumens can only access it to optimize our processes. Bitlumens can’t sell the data owned by farmers.

We expect to have the smart meter ready in the second trimester as we plan to create a peer to peer

network for power exchange without the need of having a power grid. The smart meter will inform the user how much power has been produced, consumed and stored into the battery which can be traded in exchange for tokens. In addition, during the second trimester of 2018 sensors will be added to the solar home system to allow verification of carbon mitigation.

Bitlumens will be working with a solar manufacturer (Greenlight) who had shipped 100 units togeth-er with the pay as you go system within a two-week period. These machines are already in Guatema-la. In addition, Bitlumens had already started a pilot project in Guatemala.

Roadmap

Currently, Bitlumens follows these milestones in Latin America:

1. The deployment of 100 off grid solar devices by the end of April 2018 in Guatemala. We are already training the agents who are the distributors of the off grid solar devices. 2. Adding the software to run the hardware using BLS tokens by the end of May. 3. The deployment of IoT to track carbon and black carbon mitigation. 4. After June we will be adding solar pumps into operational locations.

Token Specification and ICO rules

Our token is an ERC20 utility token, and aims to provide social and environmental transformation, where all proceeds will support the development of the software and MVPs currently placed in Guatemala. Bitlumens token can also be seen as a loyalty token allowing investors to show their affiliation with and support of the project. It does not represent equity.

The utility tokens are initially distributed in a presale (pre ICO) which starts on April 26 and lasts until April 30 at midnight CET. A maximum of 10 million BLS tokens are offered during the 72 hour pre ICO at a price of 2 BLS /USD. Only payments in ETH and fiat currencies are accepted. Bitlumens assists parties preferring to participate in the pre ICO in fiat currency. If all 10 million BLS were sold in the pre ICO, USD 2.5 million would be raised. Tokens that were not allocated in the pre ICO will be added to the ICO pool.

The duration of the ICO is 28 days. It starts on May 1 at midnight CET and is divided into 4 periods (see Table 4). On the first day of the ICO BLS tokens are offered at a price of 1.5 BLS /USD. Between the 2nd and the 7th day, the price is 1.4 BLS/USD and between the 8th and the 14th day the price increases to 1.3 BLS /USD. Finally, during the last 14 days of the ICO the price is 1.2 BLS/USD.

The ICO will terminate early, if an equivalent USD 25 million have been raised. This amount corre-sponds to the projected funding and investment needs for a period of 3 years.

The total supply of tokens is capped to 50,000,000, with the smallest available denomination being 0.0001. The detailed allocation of BLS among the various stakeholders is shown in Table 6. 25% of the tokens will be initially held by Bitlumens in order to provide liquidity to the secondary market.

KYC/AML

All participants in the ICO phase will have to meet KYC standards that are in line with best industry practice in Switzerland. Bitlumens will also perform an AML/CFT risk assessment.

It is well known deforestation is an issue in Central America, for this reason we include sensors that measure PM2.5 and allow the verification that wood and kerosene is displaced as lighting source. In addition, we use satellite imagery to capture the reduction of deforestation in the surroundings of the villages where we operate. We use 4-band (RGB and NIR) imagery for visual or analytic use.

Leasing machines to clients

Women farmers can run the SHS using BLS tokens

Information of all Bitlumens devices such as serial number and location will be stored in the block-chainBitlumens is partnering with a third-party provider for biometric solutions and to run the project in the field. In Guatemala, we are partnering with Amigos de la Aldea and with Brightlight Founda-tion.

Example of a typical transaction: To assess the risk of each household, our agents collect KYC infor-mation from each farmer and feed the risk model with that data. The agents distribute and install the machines at the client’s house. The machines are leased for a period a period of 12 to 24 months. The client makes the lease payments in BLS tokens. If needed, the client can purchase the BLS tokens for the lease payment from the agent. If lease payments are not made when due the machine is locked until the payment is made. If users receive remittances from family members to cover a lease payment, Bitlumens charges a 1% transaction free.

Bitlumens registers the load profile of each machine that is in use. Token holders can monitor these profiles on the blockchain. Thus, they can see the evolution of the project and its environmental and social benefits.

Project timeline

We expect to have one project manager per 100 users, installing between 60-100 systems each month.

Customer defaults rates are expected to vary in each region, but for simplicity reasons our model takes 10% average rate. We choose women as final customers as data shows they are more reliable than men when it comes to payments. However, these cases need to be assessed regularly. Our model quantifies defaults over time. In case of default, the agent working in the field will collect the system back and then sell it second hand.

Our system gives the option to add a digital ID for each user, collecting credit data, creating credit scores and giving access to financial services at a later stage.

When it comes to the collection of IDs we plan to partner with companies who are already working with blockchain infrastructures. In India, for instance, the Aadhaar system is now accessible to more than 1.1 billion people. Users can open accounts by presenting the Aadhaar numbers. We plan to deploy a similar scheme in Latin America, where agents collect the fingerprints of our users and save

1. The deployment of 100 off grid solar devices by the end of April 2018 in Guatemala. We are already training the agents who are the distributors of the off grid solar devices. 2. Adding the software to run the hardware using BLS tokens by the end of May. 3. The deployment of IoT to track carbon and black carbon mitigation. 4. After June we will be adding solar pumps into operational locations.

Token Specification and ICO rules

Our token is an ERC20 utility token, and aims to provide social and environmental transformation, where all proceeds will support the development of the software and MVPs currently placed in Guatemala. Bitlumens token can also be seen as a loyalty token allowing investors to show their affiliation with and support of the project. It does not represent equity.

The utility tokens are initially distributed in a presale (pre ICO) which starts on April 26 and lasts until April 30 at midnight CET. A maximum of 10 million BLS tokens are offered during the 72 hour pre ICO at a price of 2 BLS /USD. Only payments in ETH and fiat currencies are accepted. Bitlumens assists parties preferring to participate in the pre ICO in fiat currency. If all 10 million BLS were sold in the pre ICO, USD 2.5 million would be raised. Tokens that were not allocated in the pre ICO will be added to the ICO pool.

The duration of the ICO is 28 days. It starts on May 1 at midnight CET and is divided into 4 periods (see Table 4). On the first day of the ICO BLS tokens are offered at a price of 1.5 BLS /USD. Between the 2nd and the 7th day, the price is 1.4 BLS/USD and between the 8th and the 14th day the price increases to 1.3 BLS /USD. Finally, during the last 14 days of the ICO the price is 1.2 BLS/USD.

The ICO will terminate early, if an equivalent USD 25 million have been raised. This amount corre-sponds to the projected funding and investment needs for a period of 3 years.

The total supply of tokens is capped to 50,000,000, with the smallest available denomination being 0.0001. The detailed allocation of BLS among the various stakeholders is shown in Table 6. 25% of the tokens will be initially held by Bitlumens in order to provide liquidity to the secondary market.

KYC/AML

All participants in the ICO phase will have to meet KYC standards that are in line with best industry practice in Switzerland. Bitlumens will also perform an AML/CFT risk assessment.

License the Software to a Microlending Entity

Bitlumens software can be licensed to banks (SaaS) in exchange for fees or revenue share. Bitlumens helps the Cooperative Credit Banks originate new sustainable loans, then it syndicates or sells these loans to 3rd party investors where each microcredit has a piece of hardware as collateral. This process allows for the legal creation of the loan and transfer of funds to the borrowers based on an existing banking license. On the payment side, the depository is a collaborating Cooperative Credit Bank and all members who borrow on the platform will be onboarded as a bank member with full AML/KYC and associated accounts.

Before originating a loan, agents will perform the due diligence on each interested villager, including behavioral variables. The platform will evaluate credit metrics and derive a credit score based on the collected information and on the regulatory framework adopted in each country.

Allow Certified Emission Reduction (CER) and Verification

Bitlumens measures emission reductions and allow green project verifiers to certify these reductions

Bitlumens fulfills the requirements based on the clean development mechanism (CDM) under the article 12 in Kyoto’s protocol and earn sealable certified emission reduction (CER) credits. The emis-sion reductions occur when villagers don’t use biomass or kerosene as lighting source. This informa-tion is included in the measurement, verification and reporting (MVR) framework under the Paris Agreement. The methodology for measurement is taken from the intergovernmental panel on climate change (IPCC). Reporting is done through the actions taken to mitigate GHG and on adapt-ability measures that are considered relevant to the achievement of the climate change objectives. In addition, data verification is done through national MRV and through ICA. The idea is to license the platform to governments to visualize the emission reductions in different areas of the country based on sensors, IoT and the blockchain. This will allow clear auditability and the possibility to enter into Carbon Credit markets.

It is well known deforestation is an issue in Central America, for this reason we include sensors that measure PM2.5 and allow the verification that wood and kerosene is displaced as lighting source. In addition, we use satellite imagery to capture the reduction of deforestation in the surroundings of the villages where we operate. We use 4-band (RGB and NIR) imagery for visual or analytic use.

Leasing machines to clients

Women farmers can run the SHS using BLS tokens

Information of all Bitlumens devices such as serial number and location will be stored in the block-chainBitlumens is partnering with a third-party provider for biometric solutions and to run the project in the field. In Guatemala, we are partnering with Amigos de la Aldea and with Brightlight Founda-tion.

Example of a typical transaction: To assess the risk of each household, our agents collect KYC infor-mation from each farmer and feed the risk model with that data. The agents distribute and install the machines at the client’s house. The machines are leased for a period a period of 12 to 24 months. The client makes the lease payments in BLS tokens. If needed, the client can purchase the BLS tokens for the lease payment from the agent. If lease payments are not made when due the machine is locked until the payment is made. If users receive remittances from family members to cover a lease payment, Bitlumens charges a 1% transaction free.

Bitlumens registers the load profile of each machine that is in use. Token holders can monitor these profiles on the blockchain. Thus, they can see the evolution of the project and its environmental and social benefits.

Project timeline

We expect to have one project manager per 100 users, installing between 60-100 systems each month.

Customer defaults rates are expected to vary in each region, but for simplicity reasons our model takes 10% average rate. We choose women as final customers as data shows they are more reliable than men when it comes to payments. However, these cases need to be assessed regularly. Our model quantifies defaults over time. In case of default, the agent working in the field will collect the system back and then sell it second hand.

Our system gives the option to add a digital ID for each user, collecting credit data, creating credit scores and giving access to financial services at a later stage.

When it comes to the collection of IDs we plan to partner with companies who are already working with blockchain infrastructures. In India, for instance, the Aadhaar system is now accessible to more than 1.1 billion people. Users can open accounts by presenting the Aadhaar numbers. We plan to deploy a similar scheme in Latin America, where agents collect the fingerprints of our users and save

these in centralized servers supporting encryption. In addition, agents will upload the KYC, load profile while the system will calculate the credit score based on the user’s credit history. We expect to have one project manager per 100 users, installing between 60-100 systems each month. Microlend-ing institutions are providing technical assistance while working closely with their women’s project. Hence, our goal is to train women and make them part of our team as agents. Their wages will depend on the region and are based on commissions. During the third trimester, we expect to have a regional manager to support us on scaling the project in the country.

The following table shows the breakdown of how we expect to invest the funds over a period of 3 years:

We started the development of an API. Our web api will communicate with oraclize. Communica-tions between Pay as you go systems front-end dashboard, loggers, and mobile app and Bitlumens back-end’s HTTPS server are via RestAPI/JSON. Bitlumens back-end system uses a PostgresSQL data-base to store the actual data points and IDs. It runs a full ethereum node, and is used for data retrieval and analysis. In addition, we will use Solc compiler, IBM Hyperledger, Ethereum, Java, HTML, IPFS, Native iOS/Android, PHP, Node, Golang and Haskell.

The role of the blockchain within Bitlumens operation is to record each user’s KYC information and the already predefined smart contract to preserve verifiable records of the contract’s conditions during each installment. In addition, we plan to move into microgrids once we had collected data on how much users pay per month, their load profile or electricity consumption and what is the power generation from each device. We aim to reduce the costs of utility companies who cant build hun-dreds of kilometers of power line to transmit and distribute energy. Decentralized energy systems give the option to rural communities to get electrified while reducing their carbon footprint.

On Bitlumens, the only state update that can be settled on the blockchain is that of a transfer of tokens. The platform allows for fiat payments in exchange of tokens. The storage and verification of data are placed on a private chain where only investors can access. However, women are the sole owners of their data and Bitlumens can only access it to optimize our processes. Bitlumens can’t sell the data owned by farmers.

We expect to have the smart meter ready in the second trimester as we plan to create a peer to peer

network for power exchange without the need of having a power grid. The smart meter will inform the user how much power has been produced, consumed and stored into the battery which can be traded in exchange for tokens. In addition, during the second trimester of 2018 sensors will be added to the solar home system to allow verification of carbon mitigation.

Bitlumens will be working with a solar manufacturer (Greenlight) who had shipped 100 units togeth-er with the pay as you go system within a two-week period. These machines are already in Guatema-la. In addition, Bitlumens had already started a pilot project in Guatemala.

Roadmap

Currently, Bitlumens follows these milestones in Latin America:

1. The deployment of 100 off grid solar devices by the end of April 2018 in Guatemala. We are already training the agents who are the distributors of the off grid solar devices. 2. Adding the software to run the hardware using BLS tokens by the end of May. 3. The deployment of IoT to track carbon and black carbon mitigation. 4. After June we will be adding solar pumps into operational locations.

Microlend-ing institutions are providing technical assistance while working closely with their women’s project. Hence, our goal is to train women and make them part of our team as agents. Their wages will depend on the region and are based on commissions. During the third trimester, we expect to have a regional manager to support us on scaling the project in the country.

The following table shows the breakdown of how we expect to invest the funds over a period of 3 years:

We started the development of an API. Our web api will communicate with oraclize. Communica-tions between Pay as you go systems front-end dashboard, loggers, and mobile app and Bitlumens back-end’s HTTPS server are via RestAPI/JSON. Bitlumens back-end system uses a PostgresSQL data-base to store the actual data points and IDs. It runs a full ethereum node, and is used for data retrieval and analysis. In addition, we will use Solc compiler, IBM Hyperledger, Ethereum, Java, HTML, IPFS, Native iOS/Android, PHP, Node, Golang and Haskell.

The role of the blockchain within Bitlumens operation is to record each user’s KYC information and the already predefined smart contract to preserve verifiable records of the contract’s conditions during each installment. In addition, we plan to move into microgrids once we had collected data on how much users pay per month, their load profile or electricity consumption and what is the power generation from each device. We aim to reduce the costs of utility companies who cant build hun-dreds of kilometers of power line to transmit and distribute energy. Decentralized energy systems give the option to rural communities to get electrified while reducing their carbon footprint.

On Bitlumens, the only state update that can be settled on the blockchain is that of a transfer of tokens. The platform allows for fiat payments in exchange of tokens. The storage and verification of data are placed on a private chain where only investors can access. However, women are the sole owners of their data and Bitlumens can only access it to optimize our processes. Bitlumens can’t sell the data owned by farmers.

We expect to have the smart meter ready in the second trimester as we plan to create a peer to peer

network for power exchange without the need of having a power grid. The smart meter will inform the user how much power has been produced, consumed and stored into the battery which can be traded in exchange for tokens. In addition, during the second trimester of 2018 sensors will be added to the solar home system to allow verification of carbon mitigation.

Bitlumens will be working with a solar manufacturer (Greenlight) who had shipped 100 units togeth-er with the pay as you go system within a two-week period. These machines are already in Guatema-la. In addition, Bitlumens had already started a pilot project in Guatemala.

Roadmap

Currently, Bitlumens follows these milestones in Latin America:

1. The deployment of 100 off grid solar devices by the end of April 2018 in Guatemala. We are already training the agents who are the distributors of the off grid solar devices. 2. Adding the software to run the hardware using BLS tokens by the end of May. 3. The deployment of IoT to track carbon and black carbon mitigation. 4. After June we will be adding solar pumps into operational locations.

Token Specification and ICO rules

Our token is an ERC20 utility token, and aims to provide social and environmental transformation, where all proceeds will support the development of the software and MVPs currently placed in Guatemala. Bitlumens token can also be seen as a loyalty token allowing investors to show their affiliation with and support of the project. It does not represent equity.

The utility tokens are initially distributed in a presale (pre ICO) which starts on April 26 and lasts until April 30 at midnight CET. A maximum of 10 million BLS tokens are offered during the 72 hour pre ICO at a price of 2 BLS /USD. Only payments in ETH and fiat currencies are accepted. Bitlumens assists parties preferring to participate in the pre ICO in fiat currency. If all 10 million BLS were sold in the pre ICO, USD 2.5 million would be raised. Tokens that were not allocated in the pre ICO will be added to the ICO pool.

The duration of the ICO is 28 days. It starts on May 1 at midnight CET and is divided into 4 periods (see Table 4). On the first day of the ICO BLS tokens are offered at a price of 1.5 BLS /USD. Between the 2nd and the 7th day, the price is 1.4 BLS/USD and between the 8th and the 14th day the price increases to 1.3 BLS /USD. Finally, during the last 14 days of the ICO the price is 1.2 BLS/USD.

The ICO will terminate early, if an equivalent USD 25 million have been raised. This amount corre-sponds to the projected funding and investment needs for a period of 3 years.

The total supply of tokens is capped to 50,000,000, with the smallest available denomination being 0.0001. The detailed allocation of BLS among the various stakeholders is shown in Table 6. 25% of the tokens will be initially held by Bitlumens in order to provide liquidity to the secondary market.

KYC/AML

All participants in the ICO phase will have to meet KYC standards that are in line with best industry practice in Switzerland. Bitlumens will also perform an AML/CFT risk assessment.

License the Software to a Microlending Entity

Bitlumens software can be licensed to banks (SaaS) in exchange for fees or revenue share. Bitlumens helps the Cooperative Credit Banks originate new sustainable loans, then it syndicates or sells these loans to 3rd party investors where each microcredit has a piece of hardware as collateral. This process allows for the legal creation of the loan and transfer of funds to the borrowers based on an existing banking license. On the payment side, the depository is a collaborating Cooperative Credit Bank and all members who borrow on the platform will be onboarded as a bank member with full AML/KYC and associated accounts.

Before originating a loan, agents will perform the due diligence on each interested villager, including behavioral variables. The platform will evaluate credit metrics and derive a credit score based on the collected information and on the regulatory framework adopted in each country.

Allow Certified Emission Reduction (CER) and Verification

Bitlumens measures emission reductions and allow green project verifiers to certify these reductions

Bitlumens fulfills the requirements based on the clean development mechanism (CDM) under the article 12 in Kyoto’s protocol and earn sealable certified emission reduction (CER) credits. The emis-sion reductions occur when villagers don’t use biomass or kerosene as lighting source. This informa-tion is included in the measurement, verification and reporting (MVR) framework under the Paris Agreement. The methodology for measurement is taken from the intergovernmental panel on climate change (IPCC). Reporting is done through the actions taken to mitigate GHG and on adapt-ability measures that are considered relevant to the achievement of the climate change objectives. In addition, data verification is done through national MRV and through ICA. The idea is to license the platform to governments to visualize the emission reductions in different areas of the country based on sensors, IoT and the blockchain. This will allow clear auditability and the possibility to enter into Carbon Credit markets.

It is well known deforestation is an issue in Central America, for this reason we include sensors that measure PM2.5 and allow the verification that wood and kerosene is displaced as lighting source. In addition, we use satellite imagery to capture the reduction of deforestation in the surroundings of the villages where we operate. We use 4-band (RGB and NIR) imagery for visual or analytic use.

Leasing machines to clients

Women farmers can run the SHS using BLS tokens

Information of all Bitlumens devices such as serial number and location will be stored in the block-chainBitlumens is partnering with a third-party provider for biometric solutions and to run the project in the field. In Guatemala, we are partnering with Amigos de la Aldea and with Brightlight Founda-tion.

Example of a typical transaction: To assess the risk of each household, our agents collect KYC infor-mation from each farmer and feed the risk model with that data. The agents distribute and install the machines at the client’s house. The machines are leased for a period a period of 12 to 24 months. The client makes the lease payments in BLS tokens. If needed, the client can purchase the BLS tokens for the lease payment from the agent. If lease payments are not made when due the machine is locked until the payment is made. If users receive remittances from family members to cover a lease payment, Bitlumens charges a 1% transaction free.

Bitlumens registers the load profile of each machine that is in use. Token holders can monitor these profiles on the blockchain. Thus, they can see the evolution of the project and its environmental and social benefits.

Project timeline

We expect to have one project manager per 100 users, installing between 60-100 systems each month.

Customer defaults rates are expected to vary in each region, but for simplicity reasons our model takes 10% average rate. We choose women as final customers as data shows they are more reliable than men when it comes to payments. However, these cases need to be assessed regularly. Our model quantifies defaults over time. In case of default, the agent working in the field will collect the system back and then sell it second hand.

Our system gives the option to add a digital ID for each user, collecting credit data, creating credit scores and giving access to financial services at a later stage.

When it comes to the collection of IDs we plan to partner with companies who are already working with blockchain infrastructures. In India, for instance, the Aadhaar system is now accessible to more than 1.1 billion people. Users can open accounts by presenting the Aadhaar numbers. We plan to deploy a similar scheme in Latin America, where agents collect the fingerprints of our users and save

these in centralized servers supporting encryption. In addition, agents will upload the KYC, load profile while the system will calculate the credit score based on the user’s credit history. We expect to have one project manager per 100 users, installing between 60-100 systems each month. Microlend-ing institutions are providing technical assistance while working closely with their women’s project. Hence, our goal is to train women and make them part of our team as agents.
