In short, we are a blockchain technology company that has started the authorisation process to be a utility bank in the UK. Our tokens will be sold to the public by auction which will determine the token price. Our minimum funding goal is £30m. The total token supply is 1B tokens of which 750M will be available for sale.

We want to enable innovators and future thought leaders to focus more on the quality and strength of their proposition. We will help them do that in two ways.

First, actors in the crypto economy should not have to worry about getting a business bank account or the stress of it being closed at short notice due to unjustified ‘risk’. Having an operational commercial bank account in our opinion is a basic right that should not be denied to crypto companies because they are doing something new. At the same time, the bank model is outdated. We are engineering our utility bank to use blockchain technology and build upon decentralised mechanisms that can remove inefficiencies that exist today.

Second, we want to enable our economy by building a stake and reputation driven platform where credible token projects are incentivised. This DApp aims to reward and support good actors with community consensus and easy to use tools so that innovators can focus more on the quality and strength of their proposition.A utility bank is also known as a clearing bank. In the UK, clearing banks have settlement accounts with the Bank of England. The entire UK payment system settles across these Bank of England accounts. There are currently only seven UK clearing banks.

In the last 250 years, there has only been one clearing bank to enter the UK market. We are looking to further break this monopoly and be the first blockchain technology business to offer clearing. In addition to deposit taking and transaction processing of our own customers, we’ll facilitate the actual movement of money from one account to another between customers of other banks and payment service providers (PSPs). We’ll do this as a B2B business, being direct members of fiat payment schemes (eg Faster Payment and CHAPS).

Utility should be the order of the day in providing valuable services and helping the economy to grow. So we plan to introduce products and services which are blockchain aligned and which leverage the efficiencies of self clearing assets towards a universal settlement layer.

tokenforge
Tokenforge is a Germany-based infrastructure provider for the compliant tokenization of Real-World Assets (RWA). Since 2021, it has launched over 30 TokenSuite instances across five EU jurisdictions, fully aligned with MiCAR, eWpG, MiFID II, and national frameworks. The core product, TokenSuite, is API-first and modular, integrating KYC/KYB, e-signatures, custody, payments, and other regulated third-party services. Built under BaFin oversight, tokenforge integrates blockchain technology with traditional financial infrastructure. TokenSuite includes regulated services such as KYC, custody, payments, and registrar functions, ensuring compliance across different jurisdictions. The infrastructure will be expanded with EchoLayer, a decentralized network layer that enables cross-platform asset interaction, affiliate programs, and shared market access. Complementing this, IRIS is an AI-powered insights engine in development, designed to provide advanced analytics and decision support for asset structuring, placement, and lifecycle management within the ecosystem. At the core of tokenforge’s infrastructure is $TKFG, the native utility token. It enables issuers to access a 20% discount on service fees through staking and unlocks further benefits as the ecosystem evolves. tokenforge’s infrastructure is designed for institutional-grade scalability and positions itself as a foundational layer for the regulated digital asset industry in Europe.

Rivalz
Rivalz is redefining AI infrastructure by creating an AI Intel Layer to unlock new agentic economies. Built on a dual-chain DePIN architecture using Dymension and Arbitrum, Rivalz addresses one of the biggest bottlenecks in AI today: access to AI-ready, verifiable, and secure data. As we envision the web3 space to become agentic and overtake humans in the amount of transactions over time, what Rivalz is building is key for enabling this future. The core challenge that Rivalz is addressing is the need for AI-ready, verifiable and accessible data and later on intelligence. Rivalz offers a hybrid solution combining decentralized storage and high-speed agent-centric connectivity networks that cater specifically to AI's demands, ushering in the era of the agentic economy.

Innou
INNOU is a digital ecosystem, aiming to become the world’s first completely decentralized multimedia marketplace. Gaming, News Channel, Instant Messaging and the Integrated Wallet are just a few of the modules incorporated in the final mobile app, which we launch. With INNOU we want to bridge the gap between the fiat and digital money systems. Therefore, INNOU will be built as a hybrid model of blockchain technology and classical web services. INNOU will provide secure and transparent transactions, entertainment, messaging services, and an ‘on demand’ platform for content creators. Overall, we follow our strategy to include multiple sustainable features, such as planting trees in deforested areas through the game. The community will be able to create and discover economic niches and earn money while following their passion on a global scale. By implementing the largest cryptocurrencies into one single wallet, we will create a marketplace that is independent from any major currency and enables the users to list, sell and advertise their goods and services.

Unlike other referral platforms, Plentix unleashes the potential of a new global ecosystem to monetize referrals for every stakeholder, from the producer to the consumer.
