1) Blockchain technology is still in its early stages similar to where the internet was in 1993, with hype and uncertainty around its potential. 2) Less than 1% of internet users currently have cryptocurrency wallets, showing how niche blockchain adoption remains. 3) The OST platform aims to bring blockchain mainstream by providing full-stack technology including a protocol, middleware, and software to enable businesses to easily tokenize and integrate blockchain.

• 782 Million API calls per
month.
• 450 Million photos
downloaded.
• Featured photos on

•Fair, open, rewarding economy. Global. Trusted.
•Incentivize high value actions.
•Reward micro-interactions.
•Create a full loop earn, buy, spend economy.

3! 4!
Mass user:
• Buy more tokens to spend more on a
better range of product/services
• Earn more tokens by increasing
engagement on platform
• Keep low rate of selling
Power user:
• Maximize token earning, allow power
users to make a living selling tokens
• Increase spending to further increase
user visibility, enabling more earning
• Minimize need to buy tokens

30. But: Unsplash Can’t Just Move Onto a Public Blockchain Themselves
Consumer Business
An Ethereum Token
could help solve this!
• Disrupt incumbents
• Reduce value leakage to
Facebook, Google, Apple
WANTS
• Engagement
• Growth
• Monetization
NEEDS
CAUTION!
BUT
AHA!
Tokenization is Hard,
and not Consumer App
Plug-n-Play
• Incentivize users
• Reward value creation
• Monetize micro-transactions
• Decentralize
• Link value realization to value creation
• Interoperability to other services
• High costs: >$500K to ICO (legal, tax,
advisory)
• High effort & complexity: not core com-
petency
• High risk: legal, regulatory, tax, security,
fraud
• High technology constraints: No existing
consumer protocols, Ethereum is not
ready for high volume, high transaction
costs, challenging user experiences
A Blockchain Token
>$1M to ICO (legal, tax,
advisory)

Key Management
Token Rules
