Foreword
On January 3, 2009, the creator of blockchain technology-Mr. Satoshi Nakamoto
released the first version of the open source Bitcoin client; on the same day, the
world's first Bitcoin blockchain was born with the first batch of 50 bits The coin was
created at the same time, which marked the formal establishment of the Bitcoin
network. As the underlying technology of bitcoin, the blockchain is also officially on
the historical stage as the next generation of network technology.
The Bitcoin network has created a brand new era. Mr. Satoshi Nakamoto has built a
de-trusted, decentralized, distributed and autonomous network society with the
concept of going beyond the times. Bitcoin can be called the originator of the
blockchain, or it can be regarded as a milestone in the era of blockchain 1.0-the era
of cryptocurrency. Although he has wisdom and ideas far beyond his era, Mr.
Satoshi Nakamoto's creation technology still has corresponding limitations. For
example, when designing Bitcoin, Mr. Satoshi Nakamoto did not expect that
blockchain will become a cross-era The technology will be so widely commercialized
in the future, so from this point of view, the Bitcoin network can no longer meet the
needs of the times and cannot truly provide support for large-scale commercial
applications, but despite this, Bitcoin Still serves as a benchmark for the core value
positioning of cryptocurrencies.
3
At the end of 2013, Vitalik Buterin, the founder of Ethereum, released the first white
paper of Ethereum, which officially opened the prelude to the era of blockchain 2.0.
Different from Bitcoin, whose initial goal was to serve only cryptocurrencies,
Ethereum introduced the concept of smart contracts, which can truly meet the
needs of commercial application release.

AbstractA new wave of technological and industrial revolution is sweeping the globe, and
the digital economy is profoundly changing people's production and lifestyle. As the
forefront of Internet technology, blockchain technology and applications have
attracted widespread attention from governments, finance and other circles around
the world. Trusted digital technologies represented by blockchain are creating more
new application scenarios. The innovation of chain technology has also opened a
new chapter for the global payment system.
Since the development of the blockchain in the early 21st century, the blockchain is
currently considered to be the most promising and imaginative technological
innovation in the world. In the history of human development, it has experienced
three industrial revolutions. The first was marked by the invention of the steam
engine and replaced the manual labor with the machine; the second was marked by
the breakthrough of electricity, the application of the invention, and the invention of
the internal combustion engine, which directly pushed humans into electrification
The era; the third time was marked by the invention and application of electronic
computers, nuclear energy, space technology, and bioengineering, which not only
promoted great changes in human society, but also profoundly affected human life
and thinking. Each industrial revolution brings a huge increase in productivity, and
the production relationship as one of the factors of production has not changed so
9
much. It is still a top-down, pyramid-level centralized organization. The more
complex an organization's business and the more layers it has, the more difficult it is
to improve efficiency. Blockchain is a decentralized and detrusted network that can
realize peer-to-peer value exchange, which is called the Internet of Value.
The decentralization concept of the blockchain is gradually subverting the traditional
currency concept, and has a great influence in the world in a short time. Taking
Bitcoin as an example, high transfer fees and extremely slow speeds are a big
drawback. The slow transfer speed is unbearable, and the high transaction fees also
make small transactions uneconomical and impossible. It is foreseeable that with the
rapid development of the digital economy, the frequency and scale of future
transactions will far exceed the current level, and performance bottlenecks are one
of the most important issues to be addressed by distributed ledger technology.
Currently, the combined application of blockchain + finance has become one of the
world's largest landing application scenarios. In the field of financial payment, with
the increase in the popularity of digital currencies and the increase in the application
of coins, the demand for payment is also increasing. Technologies such as Lightning
Network and Lightning Network should be born. However, the design of Lightning
Network and Lightning Network is complex, the technology is difficult to land, the
development cycle is long, and the actual application time and effect in the future
are unknown.
10
In this environment, the Global payments ecosystem emerged at the historic
moment, combined with the world's hottest blockchain technology and its strong
offline background, it is determined to change the current global payment
environment. The digitalization of assets has become a future development trend.
Traditional payment methods are incompatible with today's high-speed information
development. Cross-border transfers take several days to confirm. Outbound
tourism must be exchanged for the legal currency of the local country. Transactions
are extremely opaque. Become a problem under the current global integration.
The launch of GLPT allows users to transfer money in a timely manner across the
globe. Through this payment network, cross-border and cross-border transfers can
be made. The platform automatically runs exchange rate conversion. The
transaction confirmation is completed in a few seconds. Convenience, while
reducing costs for consumers and businesses.
Through the GLPT blockchain technology, people can store information on the
blockchain, so that the flow of funds and the authenticity of transactions can be
verified by the entire public; once verified, transaction information cannot be
tampered with, and the information is completely public, and the truth cannot be
Covered up. In this way, the entire society will be more transparent and fair.
Decentralized payment is a combination of cashless, cardless transactions and
digital assets to create an unlimited payment platform.
11
GLPT is committed to serving the global payment application scenario for the portal
through the field of blockchain technology innovation, and actively expanding
global business with new business models and value returns.

1 Industry background
1.1The Rise of Blockchain
The birth of the blockchain marks the beginning of building a truly trustworthy
Internet. By combing the rise and development of the blockchain, it can be found
that the focus of the blockchain is that it can establish reliable trust between peers in
the network, making the value transfer process remove the interference of the
intermediary, which not only discloses information but also protects privacy This
mechanism, which makes joint decisions and protects individual rights and interests,
improves the efficiency of value interactions and reduces costs. In terms of
economics, this new value interaction paradigm created by blockchain is based on
"weak centralization", but this does not mean that the various "centers" in traditional
society have completely disappeared. The "multi-center" system is dominated by
alliance chains, private chains or hybrid chains. The blockchain will further improve
the operation efficiency of the "center" and reduce a considerable part of its costs.
From a technical perspective, we believe that the blockchain is a technical system
that is jointly maintained by multiple parties, stores data in a blockchain structure,
uses cryptography to ensure transmission and access security, and enables
consistent storage of data, which cannot be tampered with or denied. This
technology has brought unlimited imagination to the world. The global interest in
blockchain continues to rise. Major global economies have started to study
blockchain technology and development trends from the national strategic level.
13
1.2Track of Blockchain Economic Globalization
The application value of blockchain has received widespread attention worldwide.
Developed countries recognize the huge application prospects of blockchain
technology and start thinking about the development path of blockchain from the
national level. China keeps pace with the world and has also launched related
research and practice.
1.2.1United States
On January 26, 2015, Coinbase, in which the NYSE took a stake, was approved to
establish a Bitcoin exchange, and the Bitcoin regulatory legislation process
represented by New York State in the United States was initially completed. In June
2015, the New York Financial Services Department released the final version of the
BitLicense, a regulatory framework for digital currency companies. It shows a
supportive attitude towards the development of blockchain technology. In June
2016, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security issued subsidies to six companies
committed to the development of government blockchain applications in order to
allow companies to study government data analysis, connected devices, and
blockchain. The Department of Defense is working to develop a decentralized
ledger to guarantee ground force communications and logistics from foreign
intrusion. In addition to the government, the industry has also started to deploy in
blockchain technology. At the end of 2015, major financial institutions increased
their research efforts on blockchain technology. Silicon Valley technology giants
14
have launched blockchain projects.
1.2.2The European Union
In February 2016, the European Commission placed cryptocurrencies first in the area
of rapid development goals, a measure that promoted various institutions' policy
research on digital currencies. On April 18-21 of the same year, the European
Digital Currency and Blockchain Technology Forum (EDCAB) hosted an "exposition"
focusing on the blockchain for policymakers in the European Parliament. At the
same time, the European Central Bank stated that the European Central Bank plans
to evaluate the relevance of blockchain and ledger technology to banking,
payments, securities custody, and mortgages.
1.2.3Canada
Recognize Bitcoin's "monetary status." In December 2013, the world's first Bitcoin
ATM machine was put into use in Vancouver, and the bill was amended to regulate
the Bitcoin business. In June 2016, the Bank of Canada demonstrated the CAD-Coin,
an electronic version of the Canadian dollar, developed using blockchain
technology.
1.2.4United Kingdom
The British government released a research report on blockchain in January 2016,
"Blockchain: Distributed Ledger Technology," which for the first time
15
comprehensively analyzed the future development and application of blockchain
technology at the national level and gave research recommendations . The white
paper proposes to include blockchain in the UK's national strategy and promote its
application in finance, energy and other fields. In June, the British government
conducted a blockchain pilot to track the distribution and use of welfare funds.
According to the UK Department of Work and Pensions, the government hopes the
plan will provide in-depth information on financial participation and support the
budget.
1.2.5Russia
The Internet Development Institute of Russia has prepared a roadmap called
"Economy and Finance", including proposals to manage the blockchain. In January
2017, a roadmap for the development of "legalized" blockchain technology was
submitted to President Putin, who planned the future legal framework for
technological development. The Moscow City Government implements an "active
citizen" program, hoping to record citizens' votes on laws and government projects
through blockchain technology. In addition, the city government is developing other
uses of blockchain technology and plans to expand the coverage of the service.
1.2.6Germany
The first country in the world to recognize the legal status of Bitcoin. In August 2013,
Germany announced the recognition of the Legal status and has been incorporated
16
into the national regulatory system. The German Banking Association
Bankenverband (BdB) believes that blockchain technology may have a significant
impact on financial markets. In 2016, the German Federal Financial Supervisory
Authority (BaFin) explored the potential application value of distributed ledgers,
including its use in cross-border payments, bank transfers, and storage of
transaction data.
1.2.7Japan
The Japanese Financial Services Agency (FSA) submitted a bill in early 2016 on the
changes brought by domestic economic management regulations to the Japanese
national legislature. This definition allows Bitcoin to become an asset, which
introduces exchanges with backwashing (AML) and understanding your customer
(KYC) rules. In May 2016, Japan first approved the digital currency regulatory bill and
defined it as property. Japan established the first blockchain industry organization,
called the Blockchain Cooperation Alliance (BCCC). The organization consists of
more than 30 Japanese companies interested in research and development of
blockchain technology. Japan's Ministry of Economy, Trade, and Industry (METI) has
released new findings on blockchain technology, suggesting that the government
"verify the validity of use cases."
1.2.8Australia
In March 2016, Australia Post began to explore the application of blockchain
17
technology in identity recognition. Australia Post plans to use blockchain technology
for election voting. The Victoria and Tasmania government's physical property
director, TimAdamson, said the system would be tamper-resistant, traceable,
anonymous and secure. Blockchain technology is also being used in politics in
Australia, and a new party, Flux, is trying to use blockchain technology to rewrite the
political currency system.
1.2.9China
In February 2016, Zhou Xiaochuan, governor of the central bank, stated that "digital
currencies must be issued by the central bank, and blockchain is an optional
technology." Prior to this, the central bank also held a digital currency seminar, and
the central bank's digital currency bill prototype test was successful. In the fourth
major task and key project of the "Thirteenth Five-Year Plan" National
Informationization Plan issued by the State Council, the plan pointed out that it is
necessary to strengthen strategic frontier technologies such as blockchain and make
advance arrangements. The Ministry of Industry and Information Technology has
collaborated with a number of well-known companies to prepare a white paper on
blockchain technology. The "White Paper" points out the core technical path of the
blockchain and the future standardization of blockchain technology. The ICT
Institute is conducting intensive research to develop technical standards.
From an industry perspective, a number of industry alliances are being established
18
to promote the implementation of domestic blockchain technology research and
projects by creating an exchange platform for blockchain technology, policies, and
applications. In December 2015, the Blockchain Research Alliance and Blockchain
Application Research Center were established; in January 2016, the Global Shared
Finance 100 Forum announced the establishment of the "China Blockchain Research
Alliance" in Beijing; in February, the Zhongguancun Blockchain The industry alliance
was established; in April, the China Distributed Ledger Foundation Agreement
Alliance (ChinaLedger) was announced. From a business perspective, starting in
2015, many blockchain technology-related startups have emerged in China.
According to incomplete statistics from BlockchainAngeles, a total of 1175
blockchain startups have been established in the world, mainly in the United States,
Europe and China, and a few other countries.
1.3Popular digital asset tradingSince the beginning of 2017, various types of tokens have continued to rise. Taking
the representative of Binance, a pure blockchain asset trading platform, as an
example, registered users have reached the scale of 4 million, and the single-day
transaction volume has reached 10 billion U.S. dollars (refer to Coinmarketcap.com's
2018 Data as of January 4th). Even with a unilateral transaction fee of 0.1%, the
average daily income can reach US $ 20 million. And the market is expanding
rapidly.
19
According to the statistics of Coinmarketcap, the current total market value of global
blockchain assets has exceeded 700 billion U.S. dollars, and the single-day
transaction size has exceeded 60 billion U.S. dollars. The proportion of Bitcoin
transactions has dropped from 90% to 33%. Compared with the single-day
transaction size of the global foreign exchange market of more than 500 billion U.S.
dollars, the blockchain asset market still has a lot of room for development. In
addition, according to incomplete statistics, the owner of global blockchain assets is
about 20 million. Compared with more than 1 billion stock users, the number of
users of blockchain assets will also have huge development space.
Judging from the development trends of the past six months, the overall blockchain
asset market, whether in terms of total market value, single-day transaction size, or
user base, is currently in a fast-growing channel. Its typical feature is that the
population is Net inflows, capital inflows.
Of course, with the rapid development of blockchain assets, the attitudes of different
countries are also very different. Japan is the first country in the world to issue a
license to a blockchain asset exchange. Currently, 16 exchanges have obtained
licenses. Other countries and regions such as Singapore, Dubai, Israel, Switzerland
and other places are also relatively open to blockchain assets. On the whole,
blockchain assets, from controversy to gradually entering the lives of ordinary
people, this mega trend has been difficult to stop.
20
2 Market Analysis
2.1Market EnvironmentIn terms of payment: Throughout the history of the evolution of human money,
from the exchange of goods and materials to shells, metals, and banknotes, and the
development of market trade, electronic money began to appear with bank cards.
With the advent of the Internet and the development of e-commerce, payment
methods such as PayPal, Alipay, and WeChat have emerged.
The key to the development of mobile payment is the strong cooperation of
traditional banks. As an "Internet + finance" product, electronic payment is also one
of the most well-known "Internet +" products. Its success cannot be separated from
the Internet industry and the financial industry. support. During the development of
mobile payment, traditional financial institutions have mainly performed the
following two important tasks: one is to create bank accounts for mass users at low
cost, and the other is to provide settlement services for mass online transfers.
Without these low-level foundational work, mobile payments will not be sustainable.
Internet products actually play more of the role of a front-end traffic entrance, and
the back-end and flow-related work is actually done by banks.
Whether it is to quickly create accounts for users or settle large amounts of funds for
transfer, neither of these two tasks can directly create benefits for banks, but their
21
costs are quite high. Taking the creation of a bank account as an example, the
related work requires a large number of card issuing material costs, counter labor
costs, outlet construction costs, ATM equipment costs ...
Throughout the history of mobile payment development, it is not difficult to find that
the technological level of Internet companies has not always been the biggest
bottleneck faced by the development of mobile payments, but financial companies.
Many countries with relatively advanced Internet technologies have failed to
develop mobile payments because the local financial industry is not well
coordinated, either because the infrastructure is not complete, or they are reluctant
to cooperate with Internet companies. There is no way to form a close cooperation
between the Internet industry and the financial industry like China. This is an
important reason why mobile payment can only be popularized on a large scale in
China and difficult to promote in other countries.
In the past few years, many entrepreneurial outlets that people have experienced,
such as e-commerce, live broadcast, takeaway, bike sharing, and knowledge
payment, are inseparable from the support of mobile payment. Imagine that without
these efficient payment methods, people can only stay at the stage of POS machine
credit card or even offline cash payment, then the above-mentioned prosperous
economic ecology will be difficult to develop anyway.
22
With the progress of the times, the lifestyle has gradually changed. The influencing
factors include mobile phones, including the Internet, including e-commerce, and
even our payment methods. The unlimited business opportunities behind the
change use E-mail to make online payments; make a phone call to report a credit
card number to book a flight ticket; use a mobile phone to pay water and electricity
charges online ... In addition, with the advancement of "blockchain technology",
asset digitization It will become an important topic in the future in the world. In the
market environment where cryptocurrencies are in full swing, in the current offline
trading scenarios, cryptocurrencies have not been widely used. As the uses and
concepts of cryptocurrencies become more and more popular, cryptocurrencies will
also be integrated into our daily lives and consumption. The advantages of security,
low payment costs, easy use, and maximum protection of the interests of payers are
bound to bring encrypted digital currency financial payments into our daily
consumer life.
2.2Future TrendsThe emergence of blockchain technology can help those who want to develop
mobile electronic payments, but are trapped in the local financial industry, to bypass
the two obstacles faced by "Internet + Finance". First, in terms of account creation,
creating an account based on a digital wallet will greatly reduce the difficulty of
creating it. Second, unlike a centralized bank transfer network, which can open and
close payment interfaces at will, a decentralized blockchain network is open unless
23
there is manual review Exist, otherwise any user can freely transfer value on the
blockchain network. At the same time, the blockchain is also non-tamperable and
has natural credibility and credibility for the recorded information of the account.
This time, the two thresholds for the development of mobile payment have been
skipped.
In this way, the mismatch of the traditional financial industry no longer constitutes an
obstacle to development, and mobile payments based on blockchain technology
can be carried out in any region of the world.
24
3 Introduction to GLPT
3.1Platform BriefThe Global payments ecosystem, referred to as GLPT, is the world ’s first and the
world ’s top technology research and development. It is a digital payment solution
that covers all areas of personal finance, real-time seamless exchange and
transaction payment. Mode and implementation are applied to an integrated
blockchain ecological payment system. On the basis of peer-to-peer network
technology, a new form of global payment is constructed based on blockchain and
smart contract technology.
GLPT, as a decentralized blockchain platform, is based on its own public chain
system developed based on blockchain technology. GLPT uses the blockchain as a
trusted foundation and combines sandbox isolation and network isolation
mechanisms to allow digital assets to be confirmed, limited in number (scarce),
tradable and consumable. Let everyone have digital assets and realize future wealth.
In order to build the Internet into a smart economy ecosystem.
25
GLPT will build a mobile APP payment multi-function wallet application system
developed based on blockchain technology in the future, supporting mainstream
virtual currency transactions with zero fee and borderless payment; global e-wallet
scan code payment and multi-function with added value-added attributes Online
payment tools; GLPT can be connected with zero thresholds of entities in all
industries, so that members who use GLPT global payment wallets can get tangible
benefits. It is an excellent ecological closed-loop platform for physical
transformation.
3.2 Business ProgressThe combination of GLPT and blockchain will create four firsts:
The first merchant application payment system that supports virtual digital
currencies;
The first decentralized new transaction model that focuses on customer privacy and
transaction security;
26
The first blockchain digital currency that cooperates with existing payment platforms
and is linked to actual products and can be exchanged;
The first payment platform that can realize the exchange of blockchain digital
currency and fiat currency.
GLPT is fully in line with the current global payment development trend. GLPT will
solve the basic coordination problems among payment processors, gateways and
financial institutions by developing a new generation of payment services. The
payment service supports conversion operations between currencies and asset types.
Using WeChat, Alipay, the Internet and e-wallets, everyone can perform tasks such
as payments, remittances, payroll, B2B commerce, supply chain financing, loyalty
programs, asset management, and other Services need financial transactions. In
addition, the network no longer distinguishes between fiat currencies and
decentralized cryptocurrencies: sweeping payments face to face, as more people
accept and use them, the best currency will win.
GLPT will also break the payment silos, complete real-time peer-to-peer value
exchange and payment services, and support cross-border payment systems. This
technology is designed to advance financial inclusion by breaking existing barriers to
organizational structure and will explode the global market in the future. GLPT
sweeps the network through DAPP payment and provides services to everyone. It
plans to build a strong application and high-value underlying application system to
27
solve the existing pain points of slow token transfer, high transaction fees, and
difficult payment. The purpose of GLPT is to develop various ecological
constructions through the issuance of digital currencies, and to use its own
advantages and contacts to support the project party, regardless of the model,
long-term strategic layout, technology, etc. development of.
28
4 GLPT System Architecture4.1 Overall GLPT ArchitectureThe overall architecture is divided into three layers of core layer, service layer and
application layer. The architecture diagram is as follows:
Core layer: The blockchain part composed of the blockchain nodes and the
message network implements the broadcast of transaction data, which is entered
into the blockchain via miner packaging transactions. Among them, the flexible
payment channel technology is used to open the payment channel in advance to
achieve fast transactions. Provides data storage for IM services.
29
Service layer: This layer is based on the business scenario and uses the MVC
architecture to separate the processing of the client and B-segment merchant
services: it provides the corresponding API interface for the wallet client; it provides
an integrated SDK for the B-end merchant applications to facilitate third-party
docking calls. For the IM part, this layer provides the corresponding processing logic,
which carries the interaction between the reading and writing of IM at the
application layer and the data cluster at the core layer.
Application layer: This layer provides end users with application services based on
distributed ledgers, such as currency digital asset wallets, transactions, and
third-party application docking SDK write transactions.
4.2 GLPT Architecture
The description of each level is as follows:
30
Client: This layer focuses on mobile, supports iOS / Android system, and connects to
customer service system.
API client: This layer uses the TCP protocol and HTTP protocol according to different
business types to provide
SDK for iOS / Android development. H5 page, providing WebSocket interface.
Access layer: This layer mainly protects massive user connections and attack
protection. It rectifies massive connections into a small number of TCP connections
to communicate with the logic layer.
Logic layer: This layer is responsible for the core logic implementation of the IM
system, such as group chat, single chat, circle of friends, etc.
Storage layer: This layer is responsible for caching or storing IM system related data,
mainly including user status, message data, file data, etc.
The GLPT data storage format uses Protocol Buffer, and the database selects
MoogoDB.
Protocol Buffer is a lightweight and efficient structured data storage format. The
message format is defined in proto, and the protocol buffer is used to compile
31
programs to directly generate object files for multi-terminal synchronization. In
addition, the object files can be run between major platforms. Cross-platform issues.
Protocol Buffer is like XML, but it is smaller, faster, and simpler. It has the
characteristics of good performance and high efficiency in parsing speed and
footprint. The Protocol Buffer does not need to be parsed and then mapped, and
directly serializes the data class in the corresponding application.
MoogoDB can load hot data into memory, and under the processing of big data
information, the query efficiency advantage is obvious.
MoogoDB uses BSON to store data and has very good support for JSON format
data. It is convenient for platforms to connect MoogoDB databases. The sharded
cluster load has very good scalability and very good automatic failover.
32
5 GLPT Technical SupportGLPT comprehensively uses technologies such as 2-of-2 multi-signature, lock-time
transactions, and postponed broadcast of transaction structures. It can achieve
zero-second-second transfer of blockchain assets without the need for trust. In
terms of privacy, it is comparable to the Lightning Network.
5.1 Data FormatAll data is stored in the form of "recursive length prefix encoding (PLP)". This
encoding format concatenates an array of strings of any length and dimension into
a string.
5.2 Payment TechnologyUse multi-signature technology to establish transaction channels to achieve fast
transactions.
33
5.3 Innovative consensus mechanismGLPT Innovative Consensus Mechanism: The new mechanism of TPOS
(SuperProofofStake) + POW + DPOS is adopted. Compared with the traditional POS
/ POW / DPOS mechanism, it has greatly improved the system efficiency, transaction
processing capabilities, and achieved commercial-grade improvements.
5.4 Smart Contract TechnologyMany blockchains are integrating a common scripting language to define all
operations. These designs ultimately define the business logic processor as a virtual
machine, and all transactions are defined as scripts run by this virtual machine. This
solution has a single-threaded performance limit on a real processor, and the
problem is exacerbated by forcing everything to execute through a virtual processor.
A virtual processor is always slower than a real processor even if it is implemented
with JIT, but the calculation speed is not the only problem with this "everything is a
script" solution. When transactions are defined at such a low level, it means that
static checks and encryption algorithm operations will still be included in the
business logic processing link, which will also reduce the overall throughput. A
scripting engine should never ask to perform a cryptographic signature check
request, even if the request is implemented through a native mechanism.
5.5 Quick Confirmation of TransactionGLPT adopts an efficient and adaptive consensus algorithm to ensure that the
34
consensus is completed and the transaction is confirmed. It also optimizes other
links in the transaction confirmation process, such as the signature algorithm and
the ledger storage method, to achieve millisecond-level confirmation transactions.
5.6 Mass Storage and High Concurrency SupportGLPT supports local database storage, file system storage, and cloud storage. Local
storage achieves hot and cold separation, database storage uses a database and
table model, and cloud storage supports expansion in accordance with cloud cluster
rules.
5.7 Reliable and consistent record storageGLPT guarantees that service requests cannot be tampered with during the
transmission process through asymmetrically encrypted digital signatures, and uses
a consensus mechanism to ensure the consistent storage of data at each node. For
the stored data records, self-checking within the nodes and quasi-real-time
multi-node data verification are used to ensure that the stored data records cannot
be modified. Self-checking of nodes: The block chain structure is used to store data
records. The modification of some records will destroy the integrity of the block
chain structure, which can be quickly checked out and data recovered from other
nodes. In addition, each accounting node of GLPT has its own private key. Each
block header contains the signature of the node's private key. Modifications to the
data in the block can be verified by the signature. Multi-node quasi-real-time data
35
verification: When a node's private key is stolen, it is possible for a malicious user to
modify all data on the ledger chain. The tally of the ledger data of each node.
5.8 User privacy and transaction confidentialityUser information and blockchain address are isolated in GLPT. The associated user
information cannot be obtained from the record storage of each node. User
information storage has multiple layers of protection such as permission control,
access authentication, and encrypted storage. Users with a higher degree of
transaction confidentiality can also choose a transaction irrelevance mechanism.
Each transaction of the same user is mapped to a different address on the
blockchain, thereby ensuring that multiple transactions of a user cannot be obtained
on the transaction ledger. The relevance of the transaction.
5.9 Secure Key Management SystemIn GLPT's key management solution, the function of key safe and user account
delegation is provided to ensure the security of keys. The key safe uses user
36
information to encrypt the key and store it on multiple different nodes. The key safe
is not accessed under normal business processes. When the user key is lost, you can
find the key after authenticating the user information. return. All GLPT's entrusted
account operations are recorded on the blockchain independently, and there are
strict frequency restrictions and independent risk control strategies for the operation
of the entrusted account, which can strictly control the operational risk of the
entrusted account.

6 GLPT Core Advantages6.1 Strengthening the security of cross-border paymentsGLPT is built using blockchain technology. It has the advantages of improving the
security of the payment system and preventing tampering. First, during the
transaction process, the transaction records submitted by consumers can be verified
by the payment system. The system concludes transactions according to the smart
contract of the blockchain and automatically generates payment instructions. At the
same time, the affiliated block center will record the data of each link one by one.
Through the transaction data recorded by the block, the transaction value will be
updated synchronously. Users can therefore obtain the security of funds equivalent
to the purchased items, confirm the entire transaction and payment process under
the blockchain payment model, and make the process truly and transparent. This
virtual digital currency method also effectively prevents hacking problems and
enables secure transactions. Blockchain technology has strengthened the security,
openness and transparency of users in the platform transaction process.
6.2 Simplify the payment process and improve efficiencyFor GLPT, the application of digital currency blockchain technology to achieve
payment greatly simplifies the complex payment process. (For example: different
users use multiple currencies for settlement, platform and user settlement, etc. The
platform wallet supports multiple digital currency withdrawals and recharges into the
38
platform wallet, using a centralized + decentralized model for implementation
Improve the security while taking into account the computing power of massive
data).
6.3 Peer-to-Peer Transaction Payments to Prevent RisksGLPT technology implements a direct peer-to-peer interaction, the core of which is
the information interaction of a decentralized agent. GLPT technology confirms the
trust of ownership through digital signatures. In fact, it uses algorithms to solve the
problem of point-to-point trust during the transaction. That is, the integrity and
authenticity of transactions are achieved through encryption algorithms, trust
enforcement is automated through smart contracts, and the trust mechanism in the
value transfer process can be achieved through structural design. At the same time,
credit creation and trust are established in the payment system through
consensus-based mathematical methods. Because any intermediate node cannot
delay transactions or filtering, the objectivity, authenticity, and immutability of the
point-to-point transaction information recorded in the shared ledger are
guaranteed, thereby solving the payment risk caused by third-party payments.
The core advantages of GLPT are summarized as follows:
Pay faster
GLPT transactions are automatic, funds are instantly credited and payments can be
completed in seconds. Through the optimization of key links such as the signature
39
algorithm, ledger structure, data operation, serialization, and smart contracts, the
GLPT blockchain can achieve second-level fast transaction verification to meet user
experience.
Lower payment costs
GLPT does not belong to anyone, the payment cost is lower, and the merchants
who receive the money can save a lot of intermediate fees.
Massive data storage
GLPT uses the mechanism of separate storage of hot and cold wallets in the
traditional financial system to realize the secure storage of massive data. Information
such as old transaction data and inactive asset data can be stored using big data
storage platforms.
Foreign exchange is easier
In the international trade between enterprises, individuals in cross-border tourism,
foreign exchange exchanges do not need to pay other fees, which is more
convenient and simple.
High throughput
The essence of the blockchain is a distributed shared accounting technology, and its
distributed characteristics are mainly reflected in distributed consistency rather than
40
distributed concurrent processing. In order to ensure the consistency of the data
and prevent the problem of Byzantium generals, certain specific links can only be
executed in series and not in parallel. Through long-term testing and optimization
practices, the processing performance of the GLPT blockchain has been able to
meet the needs of 10,000-level TPS. Introducing mechanisms such as Off-Chain in
the future can further significantly increase the frequency of transactions.
Node data fast synchronization
GLPT supports the Snapshot mechanism, which can periodically mirror the local
ledger to implement a convenient rollback mechanism. Under the unified consensus,
you can specify the mirror label to roll back; at the same time, shorten the cycle of
newly added nodes to operate, only synchronization is required The latest images
and a small collection of recent transactions can be integrated into the network and
participate in consensus verification.
Financial service availability
As long as the Internet exists, more financial services will be born under the payment
application scenario. GLPT is based on a decentralized platform and can serve
individuals or financial institutions more efficiently.
Financial services are more interconnected
By creating a shared currency agreement, GLPT makes transactions between
41
independent companies easier, reduces resistance in the financial system, and
enhances the efficiency of the system.
Data information protection
When you do not want to centralize the collection and use of your personal financial
information by the world of existing interests, GLPT can help you protect your legal
privacy. Enable the "Issue Digital Assets" function to complete the registration and
issuance of assets on the GLPT blockchain; assets are registered in the GLPT
blockchain, which is fully digital; digital asset issuance, GLPT provides independent
research and development of "camouflage camouflage clothing" information
security technology services .

7 GLPT Design ConceptBlockchain technology is considered to be the most disruptive technological
innovation since the invention of the Internet. It relies on basic mathematical
theories such as cryptography and hash functions, game theory, etc. On the Internet
that cannot establish a trust relationship, there is no need to resort to any
third-party center. Intervention can enable participants to reach consensus and
solve the problem of reliable transmission of trust and value at a very low cost.
GLPT adopts the design of the blockchain to comprehensively consider and
integrate the advantages of many projects, and do some pioneering exploration to
lead the industry towards the next generation blockchain payment network system.
Core concept: The design of the blockchain will retain all core features of Bitcoin,
such as the P2P system, decentralization, and asymmetric cryptography to ensure
exclusive ownership of assets, anonymity, borderlessness, and global applications.
The blockchain retains the most valuable part of the Bitcoin system, adhering to its
essence as a trust network and achieving low-cost value transmission.
Application concept: The development of blockchain has entered the era of
application development. Everyone is trying to combine their work with the
blockchain to give full play to the advantages of the blockchain. Then, there are
43
many bottlenecks in the current blockchain projects. For example, Bitcoin has
become a core issue that hinders its development. In order to adapt to large-scale
applications, the blockchain follows the development of the times and serves
applications.
Feasibility: The ultimate goal of the blockchain is to create a next-generation
blockchain network, which mainly involves sidechain technology, mixed mining, SPV
verification methods, and smart contracts. These technologies have been
demonstrated by the virtual currency community, such as sidechains. Technology is
considered to be one of the most important Bitcoin upgrade protocols proposed in
2015. Many individuals or teams including Block stream have been working hard to
develop it. I believe that it will be put into practical application soon. Among the
mature technologies put into use, SPV was demonstrated by Satoshi Nakamoto in
the creation paper, and smart contracts can be implemented by Ethereum's Virtual
Machine (EVM) or Bitcoin's built-in script system, so these core technologies are
feasible Sex.
Ease of use: Now the official Bitcoin client is becoming more and more difficult to
use, because the amount of data is constantly expanding, and individual users have
to be forced to abandon the official client. This has weakened Bitcoin's security from
the side because users For convenience, coins have to be placed on centralized
servers such as trading platforms. For Ethereum, it is more difficult to use, and not to
44
mention complex smart contracts (need to be sufficiently familiar with high-level
languages such as EVM and Solidity), even simple transactions require the
installation of complex clients. These difficulties are inadvertently pushing users
away.
GLPT will provide a variety of clients, in addition to PC-side wallets, mobile-wallet
APPs, including web-side, etc., and can handle simple wallet mechanisms and wallet
backup and recovery mechanisms. Convenient and easy to use is the primary design
direction of the blockchain.
Compatibility: Bitcoin is currently the most successful and stable digital currency
system. Many of its design concepts have been proven to be feasible. The
blockchain pays special attention to compatibility issues with the Bitcoin network,
such as borrowing from Bitcoin's UTXO model. , And the address construction
process, Satoshi's script system.

8 GLPT application scenarios8.1 Digital Currency Payment Application ScenariosGLPT will cooperate with a world-renowned third-party payment platform to use
the existing payment channels to realize the global circulation of digital currency
GLPT. After receiving the digital asset GLPT, it can exchange fiat currencies online.
With increasing numbers, GLPT will circulate in multiple channels and scenarios
around the world, creating a complete new blockchain payment ecosystem.
8.2 Digital Currency Remittance Application ScenariosIn the future, the launch of the GLPT mobile wallet can implement smart
contract-based remittance and transfer applications, that is, the two parties to the
transaction will hit the channel, and the smart contract will guarantee and open the
currency exchange channel. It will be online without rest 7 * 24 hours and achieve
second speed The transfer fee is almost zero.
8.3Global Consumption Application ScenariosUsers from all over the world can easily access the SDK provided by GLPT to various
websites or APPs to achieve multi-national payment consumption by users around
the world. The full-platform SDK allows merchants to minimize the time and labor
required to access payments. Users only need to pay for encryption. With digital
currency, you can quickly purchase foreign goods for consumption. The services
46
provided by GLPT are real-time and low-cost, and the use of blockchain as a
channel of funds can be real-time and secure.
8.4 Global Entertainment Application ScenariosGlobal entertainment facilities access the GLPT payment ecosystem, and information
and data are connected in a decentralized form for global sharing. In this way,
consumer consumption data will be incorporated into the construction of the global
entertainment ecosystem, using big data in conjunction with the blockchain
Technical analysis of global entertainment facility construction trends to customize
entertainment products, services and marketing activities.
8.5 Salary Payment Application ScenariosGLPT is characterized by decentralization, peer-to-peer, openness and
transparency. Data exchange between nodes is verified by digital signature
technology, without mutual trust. At the same time, the payroll of enterprise
employees is realized by means of traceability and accountability technology.
GLPT deploys smart contracts, the contract procedures are executed automatically,
and the two parties to the contract cannot cheat. Only when contract conditions are
met will the program release or transfer salary funds.
47
8.6 B2B Business Application ScenariosIn traditional B2B business payments, they often face risks such as high transfer fees,
long settlement cycles, slow arrival speeds, transfer limit limits, and capital freezes.
These risks often bring unnecessary losses to business users. It is difficult to make
breakthroughs in the traditional financial system, and the frictionless, real-time and
efficient decentralized payment network that GLPT can provide is an effective tool to
solve the pain points of B2B business payment.
8.7 Loyalty Program Application ScenariosAccording to relevant data, the cost of acquiring a new customer is five times the
cost of maintaining an existing customer. Therefore, cultivating customer loyalty is
critical to most businesses, and blockchain technology and blockchain-based
cryptocurrencies provide unique advantages.
GLPT encourages consumer consumption in the form of point rewards. As a
decentralized public ledger, blockchain technology stores and shares reward point
activities and balances in an economical and affordable way. Unlocking this
information may provide consumers with more ways to understand and use their
points, thereby enhancing brand loyalty.
8.8 Asset Management Application ScenariosOne of the cores of finance is risk pricing. The nature of risk is uncertainty. The more
48
effective information obtained, the more accurate the pricing of risk. Starting from
this level, finance is an industry that eats data, and strong characteristic data is often
related to sensitive data such as the flow of funds and health of enterprises and
individuals. Therefore, in the asset management industry, there are a large number
of industry information sharing mechanisms, including blacklists in the financial
industry, long lending / insurance risks, case information, and vehicle information.
GLPT uses blockchain technology to establish a data sharing and trading platform.
Institutions do not need to hand over user data to third-party agencies (there is a
risk of leakage), and users can get back their data autonomy.

13 Legal Affairs and Risk Tips
13.1 Legal FrameworkThe foundation is established in the UK to develop an independent legal entity that
promotes the operation of the GLPT platform. The Foundation will conduct GLPT
communication in one way in accordance with all local laws and regulations. Due to
legal restrictions, GLPT sales may not be available in some countries. As intangible
commodities with practical uses, they are neither securities nor speculative
investment vehicles.
Proceeds from the transaction are mainly used for scientific and technological
development, marketing, community building, financial auditing, business
cooperation and other related appropriate purposes. Development of GLPT
platform.
The GLPT platform may be subject to inquiries and supervision by competent
authorities around the world. In order to meet and comply with local laws and
regulations, GLPT may not provide normal services in some regions.
13.2 Risk WarningInvesting in blockchain digital assets is a high-risk, high-yield investment. Every
buyer of a GLPT token needs to consider relevant risk factors before investing. When
61
these risk factors appear, they will seriously affect the value of the GLPT token and
have a significant negative impact on it.
13.2.1 Blockchain System Risk
Systemic risk: refers to the possible changes in returns due to common global
factors.
This approach has an impact on the returns of all securities. E.g:
(1) Policy risk—At present, the regulatory policies of some countries on the financing
of blockchain projects and token sales methods are not clear. There is a possibility
that participants may lose due to policy reasons. In market risks, if digital assets The
overall market value is overvalued, then the investment risk will increase, and
participants may expect the growth of token sales projects to be too high, but these
high expectations may not be achieved. At the same time, systemic risks also include
a series of force majeure factors, including but not limited to natural disasters,
large-scale failures of computer networks worldwide, political turmoil, and so on.
(2) Uncertainty: Digital asset transactions, including GLPT, have extremely high
uncertainties. Due to the lack of strong supervision in the field of digital asset
transactions, electronic tokens are subject to risks such as skyrocketing, plunging,
and manipulation by market makers. If participants lack experience after entering
the market, it may be difficult to resist asset shocks and psychological pressure
62
caused by market instability. Although academic experts, official media, etc. have
given suggestions for cautious participation from time to time, there is no written
regulatory method and provisions, so at present such risks are difficult to effectively
avoid.
(3) Risk of regulatory release: It is undeniable that in the foreseeable future, there will
be regulatory regulations to restrict and regulate the field of blockchain and
electronic tokens. If the regulatory body regulates this field, the tokens purchased
during the token sale period may be affected, including but not limited to
fluctuations or restrictions in terms of price and ease of sale.
(4) Inter-team risks: There are many teams and projects in the current blockchain
technology field, and the competition is fierce. There is strong market competition
and project operation pressure. Whether the GLPT project can break through in
many excellent projects has been widely recognized, which is not only linked to its
own team capabilities, vision planning, etc., but also affected by many competitors
and even oligarchs in the market. There may be the possibility of facing vicious
competition.
(5) Risks within the team: GLPT brings together a team of talents with both vitality
and strength, which has attracted senior practitioners in the blockchain field, experts
in the payment field, and technical developers with rich experience. As the
63
pioneering role of blockchain in the UK in the field of payment token sales, the
stability and cohesion within the team is vital to the overall development of GLPT. In
the future development, it is not excluded that the core staff may leave and the
conflict within the team may cause the GLPT as a whole to be negatively affected.
(6) Project coordination and marketing risks: The GLPT founding team will spare no
effort to achieve the development goals set out in the white paper and extend the
project's growth space. As this white paper may be adjusted as the project details
are updated, if the updated details of the project are not obtained by the token sales
participants in a timely manner, or the public is not aware of the latest progress of
the project, the participants or the public will be confronted by the information
asymmetry. Inadequate project cognition has affected the subsequent development
of the project.
(7) Project technical risks: First, this project is based on cryptographic algorithms. The
rapid development of cryptography will inevitably bring potential risks of being
cracked.
13.2.2 Blockchain Software Risk
(1) Blockchain transfer delay risk: At present, most blockchain networks in the market
will have a certain transfer delay. This is due to the need to confirm this mechanism
for blockchain transfers. All blockchain investors are Should fully understand and
64
understand the corresponding situation. Blockchain transfer delays may cause
investors to fail to trade at appropriate prices and cause certain losses. This potential
risk requires investors to fully understand.
(2) Blockchain congestion risk: Most blockchains are prone to cyclic congestion, and
transactions are prone to long delays or even loss during the congestion period. The
occurrence of these risk factors will have an impact on investors.
(3) Blockchain software loopholes: There may be technical loopholes in the
blockchain token contract, the basic blockchain, and the application software
platform. This is also because the blockchain technology is in the early stages of
development and some new technologies have not been fully tested by the market.
Some loopholes may pose the risk of investors losing all their tokens.
13.2.3 User Use Security Risk
Risk of losing private key: GLPT tokens are stored in the user's private wallet, and a
key is required for access. If the user accidentally loses or leaks the wallet key, it may
result in the inaccessibility of the wallet or the loss of the wallet token. This risk is
irreversible and the issuer of the token will not be able to take it.
13.2.4 Risks of related third-party platforms
Some platforms or trading platforms that store GLPT tokens are at risk of shutting
65
down. This situation may cause users to lose the tokens stored on the corresponding
platforms. GLPT token issuers will not be able to bear the corresponding losses.
Second, the blockchain, distributed ledger, decentralization, and tamper-resistant
technologies support core business development. The GLPT team cannot fully
guarantee the implementation of the technology. Third, during the project update
and adjustment process, loopholes may be found. Patches are used to make up for
this, but the extent of the impact of the vulnerability cannot be guaranteed.
13.2.5 Hacking and Criminal Risk
In terms of security, the amount of a single supporter is small, but the total number
is large, which also guarantees the security of the project
Raised high demands. Electronic tokens have the characteristics of anonymity and
difficulty of traceability. They are easy to be used by criminals, or attacked by
hackers, or may involve criminal acts such as illegal asset transfers.
13.2.6 Other unknown risks
With the continuous development of blockchain technology and the overall situation
of the industry, GLPT may face some unexpected risks. Participants are requested to
fully understand the background of the team, understand the overall framework and
thinking of the project, reasonably adjust their vision, and rationally participate in
token investment before making participation decisions.
