Protocol Summary

The nGRND Gold Protocol (the Protocol) is a Web3 and blockchain-enabled utility-token digital participation Ecosystem (the nGRND Gold Protocol Ecosystem) that distributes value to token holders (Participants) through its active Staking and Rewards Platform (Platform). The nGRND Gold Protocol combines the benefits of a treasury of verified preserved in-ground gold resources (Preserved Gold) that are acquired and intentionally kept in the ground rather than mined (Preserved Gold Sites), accompanied by real revenue distributions derived from long-term alternative land use monetisation initiatives on these Preserved Gold Sites.

The nGRND Gold Protocol Ecosystem’s core components are its Dual Treasury of Preserved Gold and the Token Reserve; distributions derived from alternative land use monetisation of Preserved Gold Sites; and the nGRND Gold Protocol Staking and Rewards Platform.

nGRND purchases in-ground gold resources that are geologically verified by industry and jurisdictional national reporting standards such as NI 43-101, S-K 1300, JORC and SAMREC, and preserves them in the ground (Avoided Mining). The nGRND Gold Protocol Treasury acquires the Preserved Gold and creates a digital reserve secured by a regulated digital custodian for immutable provenance, auditability and transparent settlement processes.

The Staking and Rewards Platform includes dedicated Web3 technology and a decentralised blockchain layer built on the Base blockchain that, through staking, enables the network of Token Holders (Participants) to participate in the Protocol and benefit from Protocol-derived rewards and the value generated by the on-chain economy.

Staking rewards for Participants will be sustained by any potential realised appreciation in the value of Preserved Gold in the Treasury and other nGRND revenues. Other revenues include distributions from the long-term 30-to-100-year monetisation opportunities of Preserved Gold Sites from projects that deliver measured impact against environmental, social and governance (ESG), the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) targets, and other sustainability initiatives.

The Protocol is powered by a proprietary utility token, the nGRND Gold Token (ticker: [NGRND]), which rewards Participant participation in the Ecosystem through the innovative Staking and Rewards Platform. The Platform includes:

e a Dynamic Soul-Bound Token (DSBT) that acts as a permanent nGRND Gold Protocol digital membership; ° a multi-tiered relative Staking Reward Level system; and

e a Participant-participation-driven Reward Account consisting of Reward Points, with Participation Multipliers supported by features such as Badges, Boosts, Bonuses and Streaks.

The [NGRND] token does not represent ownership of the Preserved Gold or any underlying mineral interest.

Staking by a Participant is weighted by the relative amount of [NGRND] tokens staked (Staking Reward Level), and the Reward Points multiplied by the Participation Multiplier that they have earned and accrued from their participation activities. The total Staking Rewards they earn are proportional to their Ecosystem contribution. The distribution of Ecosystem rewards, incentives and participation-based allocations may be paid in USDC/USDT or other stablecoins subject to applicable laws, treasury performance, and platform

Participant Participation Streams are digital engagement and participation programmes designed to capture a broad range of interests. The nGRND Gold Protocol will expand these Streams as the Ecosystem grows, but initially they are:

In addition to the Staking Reward Level, Participants accumulate, in their Rewards Account, relatively weighted Reward Points from Participation Multipliers each month, accrued by participating in the eight Streams and earning Badges, Boosts, Bonuses and Streaks for achieving milestones or spending [NGRND] on integrated Ecosystem services.

The relative Staking Reward Level and relative Participation Multiplier, along with Boosts, Bonuses and Streaks earned, determine a Participant’s total Reward Points accrued and the proportion of Staking Rewards that they receive. As the Staking Reward Level increases, subsequent greater Participant engagement earns more Reward Points from their Participation Multiplier and, ultimately, more Staking Rewards. Higher Staking Rewards provide Participants with enhanced Ecosystem benefits, including increased voting power in community governance, which assists in generating market demand for [NGRND] as the nGRND Gold Protocol Ecosystem grows.

The Governance Layer provides Participants with the ability to contribute to Protocol decisions including Treasury deployment, nGRND Gold Protocol Preserved Gold management, buyback programmes, Staking Rewards allocations, and ecosystem growth initiatives. Additionally, nGRND Gold Protocol is developing its Innovation and Sustainability Awards (ISAs) to support the development of emerging projects and programmes that deliver measured impact against ESG and SDG targets. Under the Governance Layer, Participants will be able to vote on these Awards, directly impacting the future of the Ecosystem and nGRND’s ethos of a more sustainable and climate-positive economy.

The nGRND Gold Protocol ecosystem: the five-stage participation loop, eight reward streams, and the Real Land, Real Assets, Real Revenue, Real Impact foundation. The nGRND Gold Protocol plans to issue a maximum supply of 850,000,000 nGRND Gold Tokens, with a commitment to sustain in the Protocol Treasury, secured by an independent digital custodian, at least one (1) ounce of Preserved Gold for every 35,000 [NGRND] in circulation. The resulting Dual Treasury’ is therefore comprised of both Preserved Gold and a Token Reserve.

This Dual Treasury, together with any potential realised appreciation of Preserved Gold and the long-term revenues generated by monetisation of Preserved Gold Sites, sustains the Reward Staking Pool, and together they form the core value distribution engine for the innovative nGRND Gold Protocol Ecosystem.

Distribution of the Token Reserve has been defined by the Protocol, with 10 time-based supply segments released over a period of three years as the nGRND Ecosystem is established. A token sale with four progressive rounds will raise up to approximately $20.5 million for the nGRND Gold Protocol. This includes an Early, Private and Pre-Sale Round funding the initial acquisition of up to 12,000 ounces of Preserved Gold for the Protocol Treasury and the initial ESG and SDG feasibility roadmaps spanning 30 to 100 years for the alternative monetisation of Preserved Sites.

SThe [NGRND] token does not represent ownership of the Preserved Gold or any underlying mineral interest.

The initial ESG and SDG 30-to-100-year Feasibility Roadmap Study conducted for each Preserved Site by independent specialist experts identifies, analyses and determines which initial monetisation strategies and projects can be performed from each of the primary six Revenue Pillars:

e Solar Microgrids, Renewable and Clean Energy e Sustainable Infrastructure

The growth cycle diagram below shows how the nGRND Gold Protocol is uniquely positioned and engineered for decentralised value distribution from the Dual Treasury function, directly driving long-term Ecosystem growth from the potential realisation of appreciation from monetised real-world assets (RWAs) - the Preserved Gold, real revenue distribution, and real rewards in USDT and stablecoins®.

e Platform participation, multiplied rewards and growth, plus long-term value distribution - including the potential realised appreciation of Preserved Gold - drives [NGRND] demand, and distributions from alternative land use monetisation drive token demand and market growth, potentially increasing the Token Reserve value.

e This, in turn, funds further acquisition of Preserved Gold, with more value and other revenues invested to sustain nGRND operations and [NGRND] Staking Rewards, driving further long-term Platform growth.

The resulting growth cycle creates an innovative and long-term sustainable economic model while

successfully delivering decentralised value distributions from measured ESG and SDG impact on Preserved Sites. This innovation shifts ESG, SDG and sustainability impact from a perceived cost into a real,
