The Wanchain Team

Dear Wanchain Community,
We would like to first give the community a summary of what we have been working on the past few weeks.

*SECURITY CLASSIFICATION - WANCOIN*
As the cryptocurrency ecosystem has been changing and is subject to further change, we have been working closely with a "Big 4" law firm in Singapore to help us cover the legal aspects of the project. One of the most important areas the legal firm has been working on is the whether The Wancoin is in fact a security. After an extensive review of our foundation, network, and token they have determined it is unlikely that Singapore regulators will classify Wancoins as securities.

*SECURITY CLASSIFICATION - ERC20 TOKENS*
To prevent the ERC20 tokens that we will be issuing after the ICO from being classified as securities, our lawyers have advised us that the ERC20 tokens should not be allowed to trade. As a result we can only guarantee the exchange of ERC20 tokens for Wancoins that come from the same purchasing address. This exchange will occur when the Wanchain mainnet goes lives in approximately 2-3 months. Certain exceptions may apply - we will work closely with our legal team and review these on a case by case basis.

The Purchaser acknowledge that receipt of the ERC20 token is for future delivery of the Wancoin token and access to the Wanchain platform. Wanchain will not be supporting any exchanges that list the ERC20 token; furthermore, participants in our ICO acknowledge that he/she will not resell the ERC20 token.

*KYC/AML*
While Singapore and international laws are often unclear and rapidly changing with respect to digital currencies, one thing is known - governments around the world do not want digital tokens to be used to support money laundering or terrorist financing.
To that end we are safeguarding the project and users from future regulation by implementing strict KYC and AML protocols.
Ensuring that our project is KYC and AML compliant is a big step towards being a legitimate project in the crypto space.

*LOOKING FORWARD*
The ecosystem is rapidly changing and our interest is in keeping the project compliant on a global scale. If further regulations are put into practice, we will continue to adapt to the new regulations in such a way that both users and our project are safeguarded.

*WEBSITE*
We have also been working on several aspects of the website. We will provide several guidelines for users to verify that the contract address they contribute to is the legitimate one. This includes and is not limited to videos proving it is the right contract address, our official social platforms, and website. We are also working on soon releasing a form tomorrow (Saturday 30th September) where users can input their ethereum wallet address to see whether it has been successfully whitelisted.

*WHITELIST APPLICATIONS*
Aside from this, we want to thank you for your continued support and patience. We received a total of 11,812 applications.

*Here are the stats:*

Total applications: 11,812
Gold whitelist: 7,779
Silver whitelist: 3,224
Unapproved: 809

As you are aware, we have started to send out rejection emails. Please remember you have 48 hours to correct information from the moment you receive the e-mail. If you have any doubts regarding your application please contact whitelist@wanchain.org.
We are still working on identifying the fake and flagged accounts. This means that rejection e-mails will continue being sent out over the weekend.

*Approvals*
We will start sending the first approval e-mails today. Please allow a few days for them to reach you.
We will also be issuing a form on our website where you will be able to check whether your ethereum address has been successfully whitelisted.

You can check if your ethereum address has been whitelisted by visiting: https://wanchain.org/whitelist

*THANK YOU IN ADVANCE FOR YOUR SUPPORT!*

We know that many of you are long time supporters of Wanchain; we appreciate your patience and are grateful to have you on this long journey with us. If you are interested in joining our team please check our website as we will be announcing a number of new positions soon.

*Wanchain ERC20 Tokens*

Our decision to issue an ERC20 token was based upon our fundamental principle that people should have custody of their assets. Removing centralized middle-men and returning custody to the hands of the individual is one of the primary reasons for Wanchain's existence.

As a result of this belief we are returning to our ICO participants their Wancoins, in the form of a temporary ERC20 token, as soon as possible. However, ERC20 tokens can present some legal challenges. We have listened closely to our lawyers who have advised us to not allow them to be traded.

One of the paths we evaluated was locking the tokens.

We chose not to do this because we were concerned about the security of the tokens. We do not want to prevent users from transferring the tokens to themselves in the event that their wallet gets compromised or they want to move to a more secure wallet. Should this occur we will work with the users to see their path of custody of funds and confirm that it is still them that is in control of the new wallet. Proving this chain of custody may be a bit of a headache for you so don't do it unless you really need to.

Our anticipation is that the economic incentives will limit people from selling their ERC20 tokens to those that aren't aware that they will not be able to exchange them for Wancoins. However, should this occur we will review on a case by case basis, along with other edge cases, to do what fair, equitable, and legal for all parties.

We have made these decisions carefully, after much considering, with the goal of following our fundamental principle of individual custody, maximizing security for our users, and ensuring the long term legal viability of our network.

In summary:

-Transferring to another wallet you control is okay (but don't move them unless you need to for security purposes)

-Transferring/selling to someone else is not okay

-We can only guarantee the exchange of ERC20 tokens for Wancoins that come from the same purchasing address

-Edge cases may pop up and we will review on a case by case basis

-ERC20 will be exchangeable for Wancoins in approximately 2-3 months when the mainnet goes live.

-Towards the end of the year after you exchange your ERC20 for a Wancoin there will be no trading restrictions.

Wanchain is not involved with ICO China. We have no association with ICO China. Do not send ETH to ICO China for the Wanchain ICO.

We are not accepting any more whitelist changes. Change requests in the queue already are being processed.

The whitelist is closed. No further changes can be made. Please check the website before the sale to determine your status. The gold/silver addresses will be updated tomorrow.
