Zelos (ZEO) ICO is conducted by Zelos-the first mobile mining solution in the world -targeting energy at its very source. The offering will be open to the global public. Restrictions apply forresidents of Germany and US-based investors. We believe that system innovation is imperative in order for cryptocurrencies to gain mass acceptance.

We believe that future mining operations needto be decentralized to reduce their dependency on regulations from single governments, powerful individuals, and fossil or nuclear energy.Future crypto-mining operations need to reduce the systemic risks that result from being bound to certain coins or mining pools. Thus, Zelos strives to hand the decisive power back to the crypto-coMining infrastructurenity. It must be possible for individuals to take part in crypto-mining without tremendous investments in hardware and technology.

Besides broad ownershipof mining operations, Zelos strives to involve the coMining infrastructurenity in making decisions about key mining decisions. We therefore strive to reduce the hurdles for larger audiences to take part in the crypto-coMining infrastructurenity.By offering anyone the ability to take part in securing the future of the blockchain technology, Zelos is laying the foundation for the future of crypto mining by designing highly mobile low-maintenance mining Mining infrastructures and by offering our coMining infrastructurenity the right to vote for mining locations and for coin choices.

OUR APPROACH

The technology that Zelos has developed represents the next generation of data centers —modular, mobile, flexible, low-maintenance, data-driven and therefore designed for the challenges of the future.Our flexibility strategy is based on three technologies:

• Our decentralized Mining Units(MMUs) offer industry 4.0 automation with little maintenance, are completely modular and have a scalable design. They manage a variety of electricity sources and are able to adapt to different climate zones. Built in a 20ft standard intermodal container, they have a proprietary, highly efficient and failsafe cooling system, an intake of more than 100 KW (depending on configuration) and can turn energy into cryptocurrencies or alternative data applications (for details see The Mining infrastructure, page 18).

• Our central hub or Unified Mining Cloud (UMC) manages the automated, decentralized operation of Mining infrastructures worldwide. It supports our Mining infrastructures (MINING INFRASTRUCTUREs) in finding the optimal mining strategy depending on the traded price of the cryptocurrency, mining difficulty, real-time energy price at location, hardware generation and many more factors. Besides data aggregation, control and optimization of MINING INFRASTRUCTUREs, our UMC is also handling and supervising all service & maintenance operations throughout the Zelos network.

• Our global Smart Energy Sourcing (SES) identifies and secures locations with low energy prices. It is a database that we develop in a continuous process in cooperation with one of the most renowned scientific institutions for renewable energies in Germany. It combines knowledge of price structures for industrial users, feed-in tariffs for renewables, discounts for on-site consumption, grid fees, taxes, levies and exemptions -a proprietary, multidimensional system thathelps us to identify the most efficient locations for processing dataand mining cryptocurrencies. Together, the Mobile Mining Units (MMUs), UMC and SES build a complementary system: SES software helps us to identify the most efficient renewable energy sources around the globe, while the MINING INFRASTRUCTURE technology allows us to direct computing power to exactly these spots in order to build a decentralized and robust system that turns geographical flexibility into global cost leadership. We zoom into the micro level to find the most efficient grid locations -directly at a transformer, a wind farm or a PV park. Furthermore, we know exactly whether the jurisdiction allows this on-site approach to avoid grid fees, levies and taxes on energy transportation. This surgical precision exploits the imbalances of the existing energy system

UNIQUE SELLING PROPOSITION

Zelos has developed a fully automatized (“industry 4.0”) concept for a mining infrastructure in which we continuously reinvest as well as operate at several locations worldwide and always pays attention to the current legal and price situation of its managed mining facilities. We try to keep our mining facilities as mobile as possible in cheaply purchased CSC containers in order to be able to react to unforeseen situations as quickly as possible.

Lowest price for energy on the market. Our mining facilities use low-priced energy directly at the source near the shore, in the desert or in other remote locations. This allows us to always strategically position our mining operations in regions with a competitive supply of energy and provides us with leverage when negotiating with energy providers.

Maximum energy efficiency. Our mobility concept allows targeted placement of our mining facilities at sites where thermal energy is required -for heating buildings, greenhouses or warehouses. This way, we “recycle” the energy used for mining. With this strategy, we achieve revolutionary, low electricity prices.

Cutting-edge cooling technology. We have designed, developed and tested a radically new, self-regulating cooling system specifically designed for the blockchain mining industry. This patent-pending cooling system achieves a best-in-class energy efficiency with a consumption of only ~1% of the system’s total energy consumption.

True scalability. Mass production & scalability has been deeply embedded into Zelos’s DNA from day one. Next to custom components developed by Zelos (e.g. circuit boards for management or cooling systems), our Mining infrastructures use a wide range of standardized components that facilitate the mass production. Our investment in software is safeguarding our growth trajectory by providing the necessary means to operate a large fleet of MINING INFRASTRUCTUREs. Through our network of partner firms, we have been able to secure a prioritized access to components such as GPUs in large quantities.

Risk mitigation by design. According to recent benchmarking studies, the centralization of hashing power in the hands of a few is a risk universally perceived as high by large-and small-scale miners9. However since Zelos is able to “mine” a broad set of cryptocurrencies, our mining facilities reduce this concentration of power, as well as the dependency on a single government (e.g. regulatory changes), single energy providers (e.g. energy shortages or rapid price increases) and single cryptocurrencies (e.g. crash of single cryptocurrency).Supporting the smart grid. Our Mining infrastructures are designed and built to operate at remote locations (“industry 4.0”) near energy sources such as solar plants, wind turbines or hydropower plants.

Our Mining infrastructures can be integrated into a smart grid and flexibly take the load off of energy grids.

The pivotal parameter for cryptomining is the electricity price, where rewards and the depreciationof hardware are similar for every market participant. For commercial miners, the cost of data center infrastructure is equally important. We at Zelos have addressed both of these cost drivers with our concept of Mining infrastructures: it is a modular, simple, robust and highly cost-efficient framework for any data center operation with the flexibility and standardized size required for a global deployment strategy.
