Overview
We are introducing POOLOGRAM, a new Blockchain-based financial
ecosystem, to facilitate the shift to a global financial system capable of
dealing with the world’s most pressing environmental and climate issues.
What is urgently needed is a new circular economy, one that builds long-
term economic resilience, generates novel business opportunities, and
provides environmental and societal benefits. In short, an economy
founded on the principles of sustainable finance.
We believe POOLOGRAM has an important role to play in creating the
financial system needed to address the world environmental crisis,
particularly with regard to global water resources.
One of the greatest advantages to a Blockchain-based system like
POOLOGRAM is its ability to circumvent financial intermediaries such as
payment networks, stock exchanges, and money transfer services. This
gives Blockchain the potential to provide cleaner and more resource-
preserving decentralized solutions, unlock natural capital and empower
communities. This is particularly important in environmental matters,
where global commons and non-financial value challenges are so
common.
We are committed to Resilient Water!

“Society is experiencing fast-transitional shifts
on a consistent basis. This manifests in a larger
role for changes, and in some cases such
significant shifts with societies no longer
requiring governments and politicians! The
desire for a better world, environmental focus
and global is stronger than ever. Let’s regroup
societies and help them for a better change”

Introduction
There is a growing need to reset the global financial system if we are to have any
hope of successfully addressing some of the world’s most pressing environmental
and climate issues. Meeting the goals of the 2015 Paris Agreement, for example,
would require at least five to seven trillion US$ in green infrastructure
investment. (1) Yet public finance alone cannot be expected to fund so large an
amount; the private sector must take a leading role. What is urgently needed is a
systemic shift in a circular economy, one that builds long-term economic
resilience, generates novel business opportunities, and provides environmental
and societal benefits.
To help facilitate that shift, we are introducing POOLOGRAM, a new blockchain-
based financial ecosystem. POOLOGRAM is on the cutting edge of sustainable
design, developed to meet the requirements of strategic resilience. We strongly
believe that the most promising financial ecosystem for the 21st century must exploit
the digital currencies that offer the best hope for developing a sustainable
environment at null cost while simultaneously ensuring faster and safer
transactions across the world.
Sustainable Finance refers to any form of financial service that integrates
environmental, social and governance (ESG) criteria into business and investment
decisions for the lasting benefit of both clients and society at large.(2) Finance is
indeed a crucial element in any effort to promote sustainability, as it plays a major
role in shaping the world we live in. Money, in any form, is only a tool, and we
need to be sure what we are using it for.
One of the greatest advantages to a blockchain-based system is the ability to
circumvent financial intermediaries such as payment networks, stock exchanges,
and money transfer services, with all of their attendant costs. (3) This makes trading
processes among partners more efficient. Inefficiencies in financial flows could be
reduced through supply chain finance instruments and techniques like reverse
factoring and dynamic discounting, potentially saving networks millions of dollars.
Poologram - our sustainable financial ecosystem - offers the possibility of long-
term smart contracts that could establish financial arrangements that would ensure
sufficient funds are available to sustainability projects. That is the core of a
decentralized payment network with a principle benefit of resilience.

Blockchain & Sustainability
The potential for blockchain technology goes beyond just matters of finance.
Blockchains are distributed, immutable, transparent, and trustworthy databases,
shared by a community. As such, they can also influence sustainable supply chain
networks. Tracking potential social and environmental conditions that might
pose environmental, health or safety concerns is an important application focus for
blockchains since they can be applied to any multi-step transaction where
traceability and visibility are key. (4) A supply chain is a notable use case wherein
a blockchain can be leveraged to manage contracts and audit product provenance.
Blockchains can also be leveraged for voting platforms, title and deed
management, and many other uses. As the digital and physical worlds converge,
the practical applications for blockchains will only grow.
Traditional engineering design processes have mostly failed to provide adequate
solutions to the world’s growing environmental challenges. By contrast, blockchain
technology offers advantages to sustainable environmental projects that can help
solve many of the problems that hinder their development. Blockchain has the
potential to provide cleaner and more resource-preserving decentralized solutions,
unlock natural capital and empower communities. This is particularly important in
environmental matters, where global commons and non-financial value challenges
are so prevalent.
By integrating blockchain and the circular economy into a socio-technical system
(STS), we believe we can begin transitioning towards a financial ecosystem with a
solid social foundation for all those inhabiting our planet. (Fig.1)

To this end, using blockchain to create a sustainable supply chain management
network is our first and foremost goal. In supply chain management, sustainability
has been defined by the triple-bottom-line concept that requires a balance of
environmental, social, and business dimensions. (5) Globalization, varied human
behavior and cultures, and diverse regulatory policies make it almost impossible to
accurately evaluate information and risk management with regard to intricate
supply chain networks. (6) Inefficient transactions, fraud, pilferage, and poorly
performing supply chains inevitably lead to huge trust deficits and therefore a great
need for better information sharing and verifiability. (7) Traceability will soon
become an emerging requirement and a fundamental differentiator in many supply
chain industries including those involving pharmaceutical/medical products, high
value goods, and critical natural resources. Another important factor in supply chain
management is transparency. Lack of transparency in the supply value of an item
prevents supply chain entities and customers from verifying and validating the true
value of that item. The cost involved in handling intermediaries, their reliability, and
the lack of transparency further complicates the management of traceability in the
supply chain.
Traditional supply chains rely heavily on centralized, often disparate, stand-alone
information management systems. These are usually located within organizations
and therefore very trust dependent, as they rely on a single organization or broker
for the storage of valuable and sensitive information, thus making them extremely
vulnerable to single point failure such as error, hacking, corruption, or attack. (8)
The solution to these multidimensional problems lies in improving supply chain
transparency, process integrity, security and durability. Blockchain technology can
address all of these issues. This astonishingly versatile technology incorporates
characteristics of a decentralized database that allow for global-scale transactions
and process disintermediation as well as for decentralization among various
parties. Although decentralized ownership of data may be blockchain’s greatest
boon to the global supply chain system, blockchain also offers added security,
efficiency, and accountability, all important factors in the development of a
sustainable and modern supply chain infrastructure. Figure 2 illustrates a traditional
supply chain transformation to a blockchain-based supply chain. New entities are
playing roles in blockchain-based supply chains; which not seen in traditional supply
chains;
✓ Registrars, who provide unique identities to actors in the network.
✓ Standards organizations, who define standards schemes, such as Fairtrade for
sustainable supply chains or blockchain policies and technological
requirements.
✓ Certifiers, who provide certifications to actors for supply chain network
participation.
✓ Actors, including manufacturers, retailers, and customers, that must be certified
by a registered auditor or certifier to maintain the system trust. (9)

Blockchain technology addresses five key product-dimensions: the nature of the
product (what?), its quantity (how much?), its quality (how?), its location (where?)
and its ownership (who owns it now?). In a blockchain system, there is no need for
a trusted central organization to operate and maintain it, and customers can inspect
the chain of custody and transactions from the raw material stage to the end sale.
This information can be recorded in ledgers as transactions occur on these multiple
dimensions, with verifiable updates provided along the way.
By helping to define network actor interactions within the system, smart contracts,
self-executing contracts written directly into lines of code, can have a positive
influence on network data sharing between supply chain participants, as well as
contribute to continuous process improvement. As blockchain and smart contracts
are integrated into supply chain systems, we will begin to see a new production-
trading ecosystem that will rely more heavily on knowledge, communication, and
information than on material characteristics. This novel and interdisciplinary
mechanism is exactly what we require for the future of our planet, particularly for
the preservation of precious natural resources like water.
The development of such an ecosystem calls for the design of a novel decentralized
programmable economy that reflects complexity and volatility while still offering
transparency, traceability and decentralization. This is where blockchain becomes
of paramount importance.
The details of our comprehensive and interdisciplinary design are provided in the
economy section of this white paper.
Before entering to the details of economy modelling of our startup organization, we
thoroughly elucidate the global water situation and the main related challenges
followed by an introduction to our key team members and strategic partners.
Afterward, we uncover our unique executive operational plans in “Waters Saver”.
We are applying blockchain technology
to supply chain management in line with
sustainability and resilience

Our Approach to Sustainability
The Forth Industrial Revolution (4-IR) is underpinned by the digital-economy and
built on rapid advances in technologies such as artificial intelligence, blockchain,
the Internet of Things, etc. The advent of 4-IR and extreme global connectivity
coincides with a period of increasingly urgent environmental challenges.
Consequently, advanced technologies like blockchain have arrived at an opportune
moment, providing us with the tools we need to preserve some of our precious
natural resources while finding innovative solutions to our looming environmental
crisis.
Among six critical challenge areas that have been identified as having the most
serious implications for both the natural world and human prosperity, the global
water situation is perhaps the most critical, requiring urgent and immediate
international actions.
Water, strangely enough, is perhaps the natural element most similar to blockchain
in terms of its decentralized nature, particularly with regard to its delivery and use
in societies/communities. This uncanny similarity has inspired our research team to
develop the concept of applying blockchain technology to water supply chain
management so as to ensure the future of global water resources.
Our goal is to initiate a novel blockchain-based ecosystem that can facilitate the
contributions of all entrepreneurs, high-tech shareholders, politicians and
consumers, enlisting them in efforts to solve the biggest challenges facing our
planet and making it easier for them to choose sustainability over randomized
exploitation. In the Figure below, we show some of our major blockchain
applications for water resource management.

Circular Economy
Traditional business models, the linear ones, are mostly built on the presumption of unlimited natural resources, in which we “take, produce, consume and dispose”. According to McKinsey (2014) there is a yearly 80% of unrecovered materials from the $3.2 trillion worth that are used only in consumer goods. Circular economy is vital at the most for limited Fresh Water Resources.
Global Water Partnership (GWP) We, as “Waters Saver”, are proud to become a partner with GWP in order to recognize the principles of integrated water resources management endorsed by the global network of GWP.

Global Water Analysis
Our globe faces a 40% increase in the demand for Energy (IEA) and a 30%
increase in the demand for Water (IFPRI) by 2030, both new records in water and
energy consumption with unpredictable consequences for our planet’s
environment. What makes the global water situation even more critical is the fact
that as the effects of climate change accelerate, shortages of freshwater will
inevitably increase, leaving more and more people around the world with a lack of
drinking water.
To get a better grasp of the situation, let’s review the water issue on a bigger scale.
Freshwater makes up a very small fraction of all the water on the planet. While
nearly 70% of the Earth's surface is covered by water, only 2.5% of that is
freshwater. Moreover, just 1 percent of that freshwater is easily accessible, with
much of it trapped in glaciers and snowfields. In essence, only about 0.007% of the
planet's water is available to fuel and feed its 7.7 billion people.
Figure 4 illustrates the Earth’s water resources as if they were collected in a few
discrete bubbles, as based on USGS data. The biggest bubble represents all the
water on the Earth's surface, more than 96 % of which is the saline water in the
world’s oceans. The smaller bubble represents all the freshwater on Earth. Finally,
the smallest bubble, which is just a dot on the face of the globe, represents all the
freshwater accessible to humans.
Figure 4: Total water amount in our planet (USGS)
16
While the amount of freshwater on the planet has remained fairly constant over
time—continually recycled through the atmosphere and back into our cups—the
population has exploded. This means that every year competition for a clean,
copious supply of water for drinking, cooking, bathing, and sustaining life
intensifies. (National Geographic). When we consider the influence of climate
change and consequence of global warming, which result in more water shortage
in many areas, so there is an urgent need for proportional global planning to deal
with this biggest challenge of the century.
According to IPCC`s latest warning (dated on 8 October 2018), controlling global
warming to 2 °C, would not be helpful anymore and the growing global warming
should be limited to 1.5 °C in this century. The nightmare of water-shortage
approached us earlier than expected. In summer 2018, people almost in all
countries, even in north Europa, have felt how dangerous and deadly could be the
global warming and lack of water. However, in some countries with huge
populations like India, china and other large farming lands like Australia, the
situation is very critical and could result in irreversible catastrophe everywhere in
the world. In short, we are approaching to a new era of human life style, in
which the culture and economic shape of water-consumption will be hugely
and inevitably changing.
Code of Conduct – Waters Saver
In line with our mission for global water, we have defined our code of conduct as
following: # Let’s Eliminate Stress from Water and Water Consumers #
Based on the fact that water in coming years and decades will experience new
situation, our core mission is to always looking for new ways in order to:
1- Coping sustainability with such water-stress
2- Reducing the Water-stress for all
water consumers
Inevitability of huge water supply across
the world, will require novel and smart
supply chain systems in order to avoid
extra-stress to Water and water
consumers.

General A
Approach to Operations – Waters Saver
“Waters Saver” has a powerful executive framework on the basis of public and
scientific development in order to achieve its goals. As shown in figure 6, these
strategic elements are then divided into four main operational executions, which are
thoroughly explained herein below. These four strategic imperatives are supported
by our unwavering commitment to operational excellence, clean water and our
team/communities we are privileged to serve around the world.
Figure 6: Strategic Executive Framework; Waters Saver
Smart Water, Smart Contract
We believe that the global water situation is changing very rapidly and suppling
large quantities of drinking water to many local areas will be inevitable soon, which
would be indeed a hard task and not economically effective if it is implemented only
by using traditional supply chain methods.

Blockchain, as the greatest technology of the century, with various levels of
application, is taking steps toward movement of goods through a supply chain. With
the water sector moving towards smart city integration, IoT, AI and the data
economy, blockchain can provide a future-proof, integrated foundation for water
utilities.
Another example of the use of blockchain-based smart contracts is the trade of
water rights in water markets, which could be developed in various sections of water
industries or even wastewater treatment parties. According to water crises
statistics, the use of blockchain and other innovations in water-domain are no longer
an option, but a necessity.
As the first step of implementation of Water-Energy credit procedure, we establish
and run a blockchain-based pay-off system, a crypto credit, which plays a role of
catalyst to explore emerging technologies and deliver game changing solutions to
our overall blockchain developing concept in water sector. As shown in Figure 7,
this mechanism is mostly targeting the sought-north countries to be able to
exchange water and energy under the novel supply chain using blockchain system.
Figure 7: Water & Energy Credit system
Although the perspective of water crises is horrible even for the next coming years,
however high-tech and modern technological developments could play significant
role in reducing the destructive effects of water-shortage worldwide. Figure 8
illustrates how fast are growing the number of innovations in water-related areas
between 1990 till 2013. Nanotechnology in Filtration, Smart Monitoring and
Intelligent Irrigation are some of those fantastic innovations, which could be savior
in most cases, provided that all water-consumers are considered and benefit from
those innovations.
19
Figure 8: Trends in Water-related Innovations
Roadmap: Waters Saver
In order to ensure the fulfillment of the strategic plans, the perspective of our
entrepreneurship is given in three steps; in short, medium and long terms on the
basis of the given operations plan. In Figure 9, we illustrate the medium-term time-
table of our operational plans as the roadmap for our organization (1-5 years).
Thanks to decentralized nature of water and its significant essence in our daily life
in everywhere, the success of our operations plan is highly depending on how we
are successful in communication with societies and politicians across the world.
Therefore, our operational activities at the start of our project and within the short
period of time are significant to acquire credibility for our Start-Up in long run.

Economic modelling
In our view, there can be no clear solution to the global environmental crisis without
enormous worldwide community engagement. Therefore, we are working to
establish what we call the Environmentally-Oriented Community Token Economy
(EOCTE), wherein multiple international parties join forces to realize a minimum
viable community (MVC) in order to achieve network effects for saving water more
efficiently and rapidly compared with uncoordinated approaches.
We have developed a multi-stage and structured approach to establishing and
developing our sustainable blockchain-based economic model. This new
community model gives contributors a platform for coming together and aligning
their efforts toward a common goal. This powerful mechanism enables entities to
collaborate in a mutually beneficial way and to build market-specific economies on
top of existing general-purpose communities with the potential for even further
growth and development.
Our target groups include not only professional organizations, local and national
authorities, and water experts across the world, but also the more than one billion
people who are critically concerned with the impact of our environmental crisis on
water supply issues.
The most prominent feature that sets this economic model apart from other
blockchain-based models is what we call a sustainable finance basement. This is
built on the empowerment of decentralized communities to develop their own water
protection programs. The model calls for communities/experts to perform
environmentally oriented token distribution within a blockchain-governance
structure with a novel protocol and a decentralized proposal/voting ecosystem. The
successful performance of this token allocation economy has the potential to
ensure the future of our ecosystem with respect to global water resources.
The following chart illustrates our step-by-step actions to fulfil our economic
program:

Token Economy Model (TEM)
Poologram (POOL) is the name of our decentralized digital representation of a
sustainable finance ecosystem in which autonomous software agents are rewarded
for their efforts at global sustainability. Any active user on this platform performing
tasks such as providing ideas/services or delivering data can receive POOL, a
digital currency, for their efforts.
In keeping with our environmental ideals and commitment to preserving the earth’s
precious natural resources like water, our science and technology team is working
hard to expand the functionality of our novel blockchain product.
Smart Water, Smart Ledger: Poologram’s smart ledger function and its unique
architecture provide clear and timely information on resources thanks to the
intelligence-driven decentralized environments that blockchain makes possible.

Poologram provides:
✓ Decentralize tracking of resources and their use
✓ New resources for financing environmental outcomes
✓ Public, authentic, reputable community system based on individual
contributions
✓ Realization of non-financial values
✓ Empowering communities to establish sustainable finance via public-private
collaboration platform
✓ Decentralized building of ownership pools for large items bought collectively
✓ Promotion of technical innovations through POOL rewards protocols
✓ Exchange of POOL for other users’ needs
Issuance and Allocation:
Our environmentally oriented token allocation is intended to foster a fully
sustainable financial ecosystem in which most of the issued tokens will be directed
toward global water projects activists and those contributors with the most
innovative solutions to urgent water problems. The selection process for
determining the allocation will be implemented via a blockchain-based voting
process among token-holders and core water communities.
Pool Ecosystem:
Issuing utility tokens and establishing smart contracts are the initial steps in the
process. In order to make the whole blockchain-based financial ecosystem viable,
especially in its sustainable finance aspects, a long-term multi-stage, science-
based operational plan is executed. POOL token’s sole task is to grant users and
communities access to the POOL platform for them to contribute or benefit of the
POOL’s sustainable ecosystem.
We are extracting blockchain’s
environmental value
25
Type of Token:
Poologram (POOL) will initially be issued under ERC-20 as a generalized smart contract-based utility token. POOL is not intended to constitute a security or other regulated product in any jurisdiction and does not entitle holders to any ownership rights or other interests in any corporation. The POOL token will not be underlined by any assets, interest, rights of ownership, or redemption against the issuer, Water Saver.1
Token numbers and value:
Max issued POOL will be;
21,110,000,000 coins. However due to the long-term distribution plan within our
sustainable financing model, we expect it to take more than 20 years before
maximum market circulation is achieved.
POOL is not intended to rise in value, as it is community focused. A rise in value
might occur as a result of higher rates of usage, however.
Distributions Policy:
The key element of our design for Poologram is the Token Distribution Policy, TDP,
which is crucial to the establishment of a decentralized green community-based
society and will guarantee the future sustainability of the ecosystem. The added-
value to Pool tokens will be used to build network effects and help govern the
network in a uniquely decentralized way.
POOL creates powerful dynamics for the entire network and enables new
functionalities. The Pool token:
➢ provides a sustainable way for us to grow the network and get many people
and experts on board with our mission
➢ catalyzes the existing network and mobilizes people towards a common goal
of global water resilience
➢ creates a mechanism for governance by offering a means of voting on
protocol upgrades
The ultimate goal of our sustainable finance system is to produce network effects
that will ultimately make the global water system the primary beneficiary of our
efforts.
1: The POOL token will NOT be issued to raise funds for water projects or for the development of the Water Savers
platform itself.
26
To establish our decentralized distribution system, we have designed three main
algorithms for Poologram. Naturally a core community of water experts and
scientists will ultimately be responsible and accountable for all strategic decisions.
But our core protocol is built on a base layer that could revolutionize current token
distribution systems thanks to the inclusion of a common consensus mechanism
within a decentralized system and the effects this might have on core-community
governance.
Our token distribution system is built around three types of rewards, each with its
own set of goals and incentives. Together they are intended to make the best use
of Blockchain technology to support water saving efforts led by ordinary citizens,
technical innovators, and experts on the ground.
Our ABC token system is made up of the Water Network Reward, the Water
Technology Reward, and the People/Expert Engagement Reward.
A) Water Network Reward (WNR)
In our most basic token distribution model, Poologram will reward ordinary people
and organizations for their water supporting activities. This is intended to empower
local and universal water networks that show significant potential or to reward those
that have already proved themselves to be effective in the fight to manage water
supplies in the most sustainable ways.
B) Water Technology Reward (WTR)
WTR token distribution is designed to support the novel and cutting-edge water
technologies that are so urgently needed throughout the world. Global water is
suffering from a host of serious environment-related problems, many of which are
the result of climate change. No one approach will be sufficient to save the world’s
water resources. Innovations of all kinds are required and these must be
encouraged and rewarded.
C) People/Experts Engagement Reward (PEER)
Without mobilizing communities and giving them access to water experts, there can
be virtually no progress in saving global water. PEER provides a highly incentivized
reward system so that organizers of and participants in activities that stand to have
a significant impact on the conservation of the world’s water resources will be
compensated for their current efforts and inspired to undertake even more
ambitious projects in the future.
