[1.1] “iGObit” is the official digital token offered by World Sports Alliance (USA), a Nonprofit
Corporation (“WSAUSA” and/or “Issuer”). iGObit shall be fiscally sponsored by the full faith
and credit of World Sports Alliance Intergovernmental Organization (“WSAIGO”) on an
unsecured basis, where WSAIGO has contractual entitlement to assets in excess of (USD)
$120 Billion (Note: these concession have yet to be operated). As an intergovernmental
organization dedicated to positively impacting the world through sports diplomacy and youth
sports, WSAIGO carries diplomatic status in all of its Member States around the world. iGObit
shall act as the official digital token for the entire WSA Ecosystem including proposed
commodities exchanges and planned banks, while acting as the official token of a digital
property rights system in multiple WSAIGO Member States. The effort is to be owned by
WSAIGO’s wholly owned entity for dealing with private enterprise: VO2 Global (where
Commtrade International is the designated manager of VO2 Global). Additional benefits shall
come from preferred pricing to sports, media and entertainment online offerings and events,
WSA apparel items, fundraising for youth sports programs including humanitarian aid, and
general trade within WSAIGO Member States.
iGObit is superior to competing digital token offerings in multiple ways: (1) the iGObit multi-
wallet will be fully functional after the Main-ICO, and will act as a seamless point of exchange
between multiple fiat and cryptocurrencies, as it is the backbone of the proposed and to be
formed VO2 International Bank(s) with full FOREX functionality and access to multiple
payment networks; (2) The wallet is proven technology used by several banks worldwide,
including a major US-based bank with full banking security and latest technology integrations;
(3) With full integration into banks, commodities exchanges and popular payment networks
(Visa/MC/AMEX) worldwide including SWIFT, for the execution of trade finance and bank wire
transfers, financially iGObit will be one of the most integrated digital tokens; (4) Demand for
ῙGObit: In addition to the proposed VO2 International Bank (financial services), commodities
exchanges, payments transactions and remittance for underbanked markets, as well as all
WSA related Ecosystem initiatives, iGObit shall also serve as the official digital token for a
planned blockchain property rights program that will unlock trillions of dollars in equity by
providing accurate blockchain data for property ownership in emerging markets.

Overview: World Sport Alliance Intergovernmental Organization
[1.3] The World Sports Alliance is an Intergovernmental Organization that is considered a
legal person under international law. As such, WSAIGO is a sovereign entity with diplomatic
status within its participating nations (Member States). WSAIGO was initially formed in
support of the United Nations Millennium Development Goals, which now pursues its
mission in support of the eponymous United Nations Sustainable Development Goals
(UNSDGs).
The main purpose of WSAIGO is to create a platform for diplomacy, as well as socio-
economic mobility within its Member States, using sports, physical education, and leisure
(SPEL) as a means to facilitate collaboration with other Member States, international sports
organizations, NGOs and the health & fitness industry at large. WSAIGO further addresses
its mission through the platform of youth sports, in the belief that youth sports provides an
opportunity to make one of the most positive and powerful impacts on civil-society throughout
the world. WSAIGO exists in further advancement of the United Nations Sustainable
Development Goals and utilizes the Sports for Development and Peace (SDP) platform to
design and implement extracurricular youth athletic training, educational programs and a
network of community sports centers within the territory of its Member States. WSAIGO has a
substantial balance sheet supported by its contractual entitlement to assets valued in excess
of (USD) $120 billion consisting of inground commodities; gold, diamond and nickel deposits
within several of its Member States on the African continent. (Note: these mining
properties have not been mined to date.) Despite many WSAIGO Member States being
asset-rich in natural resources, many have been locked out of traditional banking and
liquidity pools. This paradigm leads to widespread financial inequality that consequently
damages other facets of civil society. The iGObit ICO offers a financial framework that
directly addresses these economic imbalances.5
What is an IGO?
[1.2] An Intergovernmental Organization or IGO is an organization composed primarily of
sovereign states (Member States), or of other intergovernmental organizations. IGOs are
established by a treaty that charters the creation of said organization. Treaties are formed
when lawful representatives (governments) of several states go through a ratification
process, providing the IGO with an international legal personality, which gives the IGO
privileges and immunities that are intended to ensure their independent and effective
functioning. Intergovernmental Organizations are typically outside the jurisdiction of national
courts in their Member States or what is commonly referred to as diplomatic immunity.
Examples of well known IGO’s include: the United Nations (UN), NATO, World Trade
Organization (WTO) and International Criminal Police Organization (Interpol). The World
Sports Alliance Intergovernmental Organization executes its mission in furtherance of the
United Nations Sustainable Development Goals and works as a socio-economic mobility tool
and diplomacy platform in order to address multiple areas of civil society on behalf of its
Member States.

[2.1] World Sports Alliance Global Ecosystem
Youth & Amateur Sports / Fitness FacilitiesWSA facilities implemented in Member States will provide sports, training and fitness
activities based upon 13 Olympic Sports, where WSA through its relationship with the
International Olympics Committee will utilize existing rules as promulgated by the IOC. In
addition, these locations will provide Global Coaching Programs for at risk-youth and
activities developed using the scientific “living lab” approach of co-creation, exploration,
experimentation and evaluation of innovative ideas, scenarios and concepts creating an
open-innovation ecosystem where all the youth & amateur participants (visitors) and the
project stakeholders (Sports Federations, Sports Leagues & Organizations, Sports & Fitness
Corporations) led by national experts of the World Center of Excellence in Sports, Physical
Education and Leisure for the SDGs (WCESPEL-SDGs). Participants will be immersed in a
creative sports and social space, learning how to use sports in their own life to achieve the
Sustainable Development Goals from the perspective of a global citizen.
WSAIGO HQ, Sport Campus & Related Infrastructures ProjectThe implementation of the WSAIGO Project on the Island of Saint Martin/Sint Maarten in the
Caribbean region would take place over the course of a three-year period and would
include: (1) the WSAIGO World Headquarters & Executive/VIP Complex; (2) the WSA Sport
Campus formed of : (A) WSA’s Youth Sports-SDGs Living Lab Academy (a Global Sports
Village including indoor and outdoor sports training and learning facilities, accommodations
(camp/dormitories) for local youths and visitors from the WSAIGO Member States and
hospitality facilities for their coaches, accompaniers and supporter); (B) WSA’s Exclusive
Fitness Regeneration & Sports Rehabilitation Elite Spa Retreat, targeting top international
athletes (European Footballers, Olympic athletes, Basketball, NFL, etc.) who will be invited
to contribute some of their time to interact with youth participants at the WSA Youth Sports-
SDGs Living Lab Academy. All of which will serve as the major economic motor to sustain
the operations and activities of the WSAIGO HQ and Youth Sports-SDGs Living Lab
Academy in Saint Martin/Sint Maarten. (See attached Appendix).
Local/International Amateur Sports LeaguesAt the core of the World Sports Alliance is the mission of fostering socio-economic and
human development through youth sports and diplomacy, on the sport for development and
peace platform while using the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals as its
guiding values. In connection with WSA sports facilities, WSA will organize youth sports
league play and tournaments. Using the International Olympics Committee rule book or very
similar rules, WSA will execute its mission while seeking talented youth athletes, as well as
youth with an aptitude for academics through WSA education programs. Academic and
education programs shall include video production, audio engineering and computer coding
of sports events and league play. Top athletes will be invited to compete at the School
Sports Olympics, to be held annually at various locations world-wide. This part of the
organization is designed to be uplifting to all people, by making an investment and
commitment to the health and education of youth worldwide.

[2.1] World Sports Alliance Global Ecosystem (Cont.)
Global Coaching PlatformAdditionally, WSA supports education through its global coaching initiative. WSA not only
looks to empower youth through athletics but also encourages higher education for all the
youth within WSA member states. The initiative seeks to mentor and motivate youth to want
to seek out a secondary education and to maximize their potential through learning, in order
improve their own lives as well the community around them. The global coaching initiative is
to be an online platform and repository of sports and fitness knowledge. The platform will
include instructional lessons for the WSA coaches and athletes complete with written
instruction, as well as video streaming programing that will include content from professional
athletes.
Word Sports Alliance TVWSA-TV will be a hybrid media outlet, using both on-air and internet streaming offerings to
support each other. This media efforts is targeted to be the “ESPN of Millennials” by focusing
on programming that is more action and documentary oriented as opposed to ESPN’s
commercialized and analytical approach. The majority of the content shall be highlights of
young athletes showcasing their talent, while syncing this footage to both popular and in-
house music compositions. This format was proven successful in another media offering
promoted by a member of WSA management that led to a partnership with one of the largest
sports apparel companies worldwide. Additionally, documentary and reality TV content shall
also include WSA-TV encourages youth athletes to train and compete at a high level with the
possibility of being on the air. The education component encourages the youth to strive for
post-secondary education and will include scholarships for the most promising talent. To be
headquartered in Scottsdale, AZ., WSA-TV will be initially launched through a collaboration
with Sneaky Big Studios with original content created and submitted by youth from around
the world, as well as at the proposed WSA sports facilities, leagues and tournament events.
A small bounty will be paid to the young producers and artists for content creation that is
shown on the air. WSA-TV shall support and promote the entire WSA Ecosystem, as well as
relationships with other sports bodies and sponsors.
VO2 International BankAs a convenience to the WSA Ecosystem, VO2 International Bank shall operate in full
support of īGObit. The bank shall operate with traditional bank functions and fiat currencies,
including: debit card issuance linked to īGObit and other stored value, credit card issuance,
depository, trade finance, payments, remittance and FOREX trading. The bank will be
utilized as a means to support the entire WSA Ecosystem, especially in jurisdictions that are
traditionally underbanked.
Commodities/Crypto Currency ExchangeVO2 Global is planning a series of commodities exchanges that utilizes blockchain
technology and trades a number of futures contracts including: Gold, Oil, Stock Indexes,
Coffee, Cocoa and Cattle, as well as a series of cryptocurrencies, Ethereum, iGObit and
Bitcoin cash in particular. These commodities exchanges are to be structured as part of the
World Sports Alliance Private Fund Foundation, in partnership with multiple world
governments and operate in compliance with the United Nations Sustainable Development
Goals.
Ecosystem

[2.1] World Sports Alliance Global Ecosystem (Cont.)
Blockchain Property Rights
▪ Real EstateVO2 Global, will form a title insurance company in emerging markets, using blockchain as
a means to ensure ownership. By identifying people and mapping property boundary
lines, this initiative will unlock trillions of dollars in real estate equity by encouraging
lending and market activity. By providing clear indication of identification and ownership,
the property rights registry will allow for banks and institutional investors to place capital
into markets that were previously deemed too risky. By bringing the risk profile down, this
will also lower interest rates, making financing that was previously too high for long term
growth to be issued at a yield commiserate with sustainable growth, thereby contributing
to the creation of a middle-class economy.
▪ Intellectual PropertyUsing blockchain, those with IP rights such as, athletes, artists, musicians, software
companies, or any other owners of intellectual property, can more accurately track their
rights and royals. With blockchain verification, IP usage data can be relied on more
accurately, giving confidence to investors, sponsors, team owners and other financial
decision makers in reference to the value of the subject artists/performer. The
transparency of the blockchain will also ensure that the correct parties are receiving the
right amount of capital in connection with their rights and royalties streams.
▪ CommoditiesIn connection with the commodities exchange and banking initiatives, the ability to track
ownership in a reliable and transparent manner is imperative in order to have sustainable
development, as large institutional banks and investors need to be able to know the true
and exact ownership of commodities goods. Additionally, regulatory requirements such
as the Kimberley Certificate Process and other rules that are designed to prohibit the
illicit flow of funds to the wrong parties are inherently made much easier by using
blockchain technology to track the origin and successive provenance of commodities.
Even one step further in the sake of transparency and in connection with the UNGSII
index of sustainable companies, blockchain technology will allow for end users of
products to know the origin of finished products by knowing where the underlying
commodities components came from.
VO2 TelecomIn many jurisdictions around the world, internet speed and availability is still sorely lacking as
compared to many developed countries. In order to execute its mission, as well as to
properly utilize īGObit, WSAIGO will have VO2 telecom act as a distributor of smartphones,
as well as deploy telecom technology and infrastructure. The goal is to deploy smartphones
with next level, carbon based batteries which require less charging than traditional batteries.
Where internet speed is challenging, the goal will to be deploy mesh networking technology,
as well as short wave cellular data services. These two technologies in conjunction with the
Ecosystem
11
[2.1] World Sports Alliance Global Ecosystem (Cont.)
carbon battery technology on the phone, will allow internet deployment and use of iGObit in
jurisdictions that normally would not be able to do so. Most people in emerging markets do
not own a desktop computer, but do have a smart phone. VO2 Telecom will act as a bridge
provider, bringing affordable smart phones and data services, powered by and in support of
īGObit. The iGOpay wallet will be built into these phones with the ability to finance the phone
over 24 months with payments at each data top up. By deploying the latest in telecom and
internet technology (fiber optics, mesh networks, ultra-high-speed data compression) many
emerging markets will be able to leap-frog directly into the 4th industrial revolution and
bypass the older less efficient technologies, thereby creating financial equality and a
sustainable middle-class economic model.
Infrastructure, energy, waterIn modern times, the basis of any functioning economy requires an infrastructure that can
support the movement of people and goods, as well as access to clean water and a
sufficient energy supply. In many WSAIGO member states, these basics necessities are
either in short supply or non-existent. In order to carry out the core mission of the
organization, WSAIGO will partner with its member states for the development of roads and
transportation, as well as clean energy and water. WSAIGO maintains a portfolio of next
level technologies that represent the cutting edge in these areas These technologies will be
utilized inside of projects using sustainability techniques that ensure that not only does
development occur, but that the resulting project is environmentally friendly, as well as being
of a design and operates in a manner consistent will the core values of the organization; the
United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.
Artisanal MiningWSAIGO owns multiple mining concessions that have been granted by several member
states. These contractual entitlements represent over USD one hundred twenty billion
dollars PLUS of in-ground assets. The mining projects referenced have the geological
reports to substantiate their value. The concessions located in the Central African Republic
alone, comes with a sovereign guarantee of USD $100 Billion. While this country poses geo-
political risk, WSAIGO’s diplomatic status mitigates some of the risk as the mining property
is considered the sovereign territory of the IGO and can be defended with the use of force if
necessary. Additionally, the mining techniques used by WSAIGO and its commercial
operations division, VO2 Global will always seek to employ sustainable and environmentally
friendly technologies. WSAIGO has pledged to return 55% of net income derived from these
types of projects back to the people, through independent projects for youth sports and/or
projects that are compliant with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.
WSA Travel ClubMany WSAIGO member states are in jurisdictions that have naturally beautiful and
interesting features. Unfortunately, they do not always carry the connotation of being “tourist
attractions”. As part of the organization’s commitment to education and sustainable
development, WSA will offer an eco-friendly travel club. This club will be a “jet safari”
Ecosystem
12
[2.1] World Sports Alliance Global Ecosystem (Cont.)
whereby people that are traditionally associated with high net worth can go on a guided tour
to locations that they normally would not either: (a) know about or (b) would be concerned
with safety and security. WSAIGO’s diplomatic status and connection to the local
governments will allow for both an educational, as well as safe experience. This program will
appeal to education and adventure minded people and will feature several stops on a 14-21
day tour. The local governments within the member states will appreciate the influx of tourist
dollars and the local citizens will have an opportunity to sell their goods and/or services on
these travel tours.
Affinity Shopping ProgramWSA is planning an affinity shopping program to accept īGObit as a means of trade. This will
potentially give iGObit access to over 90,000 merchants who will not only take iGObit as a
means of trade, but also offer discounts in connection with transaction for those wishing to
pay in iGObit. As part of the initiative, a portion of this discount would be donated toward
WSA youth sports programs in furtherance of its mission.

The majority of citizens in WSA Member States will access iGObit with a smartphone device. The
proposed VO2 Telecom Group will be a distributor of telecom hardware, software, as well as operate
a series of data networks in select Member State locations. The data network will be readily
deployable in certain locations where internet access is either minimal or non-existent. The proposed
VO2 Smartphone will have a carbon based battery technology that will allow for rapid charging and
will stay charged for up to 5 times longer than regular lithium ion batteries. All data top ups will be
negotiable through the iGObit wallet.

THE PROBLEM: Due to limited access to traditional capital sources, many emerging and frontier
markets lack the financial infrastructure necessary to develop into mature economies.
THE SOLUTION: iGObit digital token fills the void by providing WSAIGO Member States and
other underdeveloped regions with the resources to develop independent, self-sustaining,
blockchain-based markets. The introduction of new sophisticated markets will increase world
GDP, productivity and offer millions of people greater socio-economic advancement
opportunities. By inclusion into the WSAIGO Ecosystem, people and markets will have greater
access toward each other and toward civil society.

iGObit was designed as a utility token and acts as the medium of exchange for a digital
ecosystem in connection with the WSA Intergovernmental Organization. iGObit has
multiple features and benefits designed to appeal to a wide variety of people ranging from
ultra high net worth users to low end participants in emerging markets. With robust financial
features, a versatile debit card integration and affinity shopping programs attached, what
really sets iGObit apart is the digital rights platform and the commodities exchanges that
are projected to drive the use case for iGObit into a high volumes.
▪ Multi-Wallet: The iGObit account wallet was originally designed for the proposed VO2
Bank and is a robust fintech offering able to hold, store and convert most popular
cryptocurrencies and fiat currencies. Functionality includes completing transactions in
multiple currencies, across multiple networks, including Visa, Master, Discover and/or
AMEX, with integrations into the SWIFT network as well. The iGObit multi-wallet will
be fully functional after the Main-ICO.
▪ Retail Banking: The iGObit (virtual or physical) debit card will connect directly to the
user’s account wallet and will allow users to spend their iGObit tokens as fiat currency
anywhere in the world. Fees will be in line with market averages of other Visa, AMEX,
and Mastercard payment processors. Seamless Apple Pay and Android Pay
integrations will follow. Credit cards will be made available to select users via the
proposed VO2 International Bank.
▪ Messaging Integration: Whisper Signal is a non-federated cryptographic protocol
that can be used to provide end-to-end encryption for voice, video, and instant
messaging conversations. It is used in closed source apps, such as WhatsApp,
Facebook Messenger, and Google Allo’s “incognito mode”. By integrating Signal
Protocol into mobile applications, iGObit will maintain a secure and private network.
▪ Web & Mobile App: iGObit will be made available on both the iOS and Google Play
Store. All features available on the web platform will also exists within both mobile
applications. Both versions are compatible with push notifications so that users
receive updates directly to their mobile device in real time.

▪ Crowdfunding: The iGObit platform will also incorporate crowdfunding posts and
functionality. Any user has the ability to create a descriptive post for a specific cause.
Other users can then donate iGObit to the fund post and have their name displayed
as a donator to that post.
▪ Social Network: Any user can follow any other user, although if the required user
has “approvals” turned on, the follow request will not be initiated until it is approved. If
user A follows user B, and then user B follows user A back, this then becomes a
friendship. Friendship connections allow for more functionality such as instant
messaging, faster searching, tagging and much more.
▪ Exchange Marketplace: Personal users can create a “product post” that represents
a good or service. Friends and followers can see this and then purchase it directly
with their ῙGObit. Business iGObit users may execute large international transfers
and cross-border commodities trades.
▪ Instant Messaging: Since all iGObit users will be vetted using proper KYC
protocols, anonymous instant messaging will be permitted between counter-parties
to facilitate trade, social networking, and collaboration (e.g. peer-to-peer
crowdfunding campaigns).
▪ Decentralization: iGObit is to be a hybrid, decentralized offering by utilizing already
existing blockchain applications with certain contract controls built in for compliance
purposes.
▪ Compliance: iGObit tokens, products and services shall comply with international
regulation: FinCEN, EU and SEC (including KYC, AML, and EU Identity). Through
the use of the latest in compliance technology, iGObit will be deployed in a manner
that ensures that users are known parties and have completed necessary
background checks with varying levels of compliance for a large trader on a
commodities exchange, down to the small user working with micropayments.
▪ Privacy: Users have full control over both their data and accounts privacy. Account
privacy settings include: (1) Visibility: Whether or not user would like their profile
displayed publicly. (2) Approval: Whether user would like to approve or block
requests to be followed by other network participants.
▪ Account Types: The iGObit wallet consists of account types for both personal users
and businesses. Business accounts have several enhanced features, including
higher transaction limits, higher stored value caps, trade functions through iGObit
and/or via SWIFT and additional security protocols.

[4.1] What is the iGObit Network?The iGObit Network is an open source, enterprise-level, distributed, open source, hybrid
blockchain that facilitates cross-border, multicurrency payments quickly, reliably, and for
fractions of penny.
Components [iGObit Core→ Horizon API→ iGObit Wallet]1. iGObit (iGOS): The native asset of the iGObit Network. iGOS can act as a bridge
between different currencies and assets that do not have their own direct market. To
discourage DoS attacks, the iGObit ledger collects fees and redistributes them in the
process of inflation.
Advantages1. Ability to trade any kind of asset, including fiat currencies, ICO tokens, and commodities.
Asset credits are traded on the network in place of the underlying asset.
2. Decentralized and distributed structure provides greater security. iGObit’s model of
atomic multi-operation transactions leads to more auditable code, limits uncertainty, and
decreases risk of harm from bad actors who may want to exploit program vulnerabilities.
Moreover, iGObit allows users to freeze tokens in the event there is misuse.
3. The iGObit Network is scalable. Depending on hardware and network configurations, a
conservative iGObit Network processing rate is 1,000 operations per second. iGObit is
not mineable and does not require any “gas” to execute programs, which mitigates
network congestion.
4. iGObit enables tailor-made digital token launches by providing base abstractions such as
accounts, tokens, payments, offers (exchange one token type for another), and atomic
multi-stage transactions, which decreases development time.
5. KYC and AML capabilities are robust.
6. Real-time settlement (2-5 seconds per transaction) compared to Ethereum median
transaction time of approximately 3.5 minutes.
7. Transaction costs are low. Base fee of 0.0001 iGOS (fractions of a penny) per
transaction. By drastically lowering fees and increasing efficiency, millions of
underbanked individuals worldwide will have greater access to remittances,
micropayments, and banking services.
8. iGObit Network has a built-in secondary market that acts as a distributed exchange for
any type of asset. Account offers to buy or sell assets are stored in the offer ledger and
are saved until received or cancelled. Cross-asset payments are possible.

[4.2] iGObit Network Integration1. Issue iGObit token on the iGObit Network and create framework for business use-cases.
2. Establish iGObit as the preferred currency for transactions.
3. License WSAIGO as money service provider (MSP) or a mobile money operator (MMO)
if exemption is not available. As a network anchor, WSAIGO will hold deposits and issue
credits.
4. Connect to the iGObit Network. Internal technical team sets up database tables, writes
code to listen to the iGObit ledger, conducts transactions, and tests integration.
5. Integrate compliant know-your-client (KYC) and anti-money laundering (AML) protocols
and procedures.
6. Work with local governments to establish retail and commercial banking operations.
7. Finalize iGObit Network configuration. It typically takes a development team between
120-200 hours of technical development to integrate with iGObit.
[4.3] iGObit Multi-WalletEach iGObit user will be assigned a multi-wallet that supports the most popular
cryptocurrencies and tokens with the ability to transfer between the most popular
cryptocurrencies, as well as FOREX with major world fiat currencies. The iGObit wallet will
be available for download as a Windows desktop application or in a mobile platform; Android
or iOS. The wallet will rely on iGObit for transfers and signing transactions, with an API in
order to connect to correspondent banking and payment networks, including SWIFT for trade
finance functionality. The wallet will also correspond to an accompanying debit card
(physical or virtual) which will integrate seamlessly with the users needs to make various
payments where debit cards are an easy solution. Utilizing the latest in identification
technology, the debit card can be issued immediately (virtually) or a physical card can be
sent. Account approval may take longer for certain end users as a result of initial compliance
checks. The iGObit multi-wallet will be fully functional after the Main-ICO.
iGObit Technical Data
22
[4.4] iGObit Debit Card: Virtual or Physical
▪ User is issued a physical and/or virtual iGObit debit card linked to their wallet
▪ Using the latest in identity technology, iGObit accounts can be opened instantly while
still complying with KYC and AML regulations
▪ Card contains stored value based upon user discretion, with ability to load card via
wallet
▪ User swipes card to pay for a purchase
▪ Transaction is sent to the proposed VO2 Bank server
▪ Server checks which fiat currency as requested (e.g. USD, CNY, EUR)
▪ iGObit checks if user account wallet contains sufficient ῙGObits for transaction
▪ iGObits are then exchanged for requested fiat
▪ Fiat is moved to the debit card
▪ Transaction is approved
The debit card infrastructure will integrate with the iGObit wallet back-end API for all
transactions.
iGObit Technical Data
▪ User Fees: token purchase fulfilment, application platform fees, Visa/MC/AMEX
interchange fees, bank fees, foreign currency exchange, SWIFT are all expected to
incur a fee with the final amounts subject to change. All fees are expected to be the
average to less than average amounts as compared to traditional service providers.
▪ Management Fees: WSAUSA/WSAIGO will pay a management fee (“Management
Fee”) equivalent to 2.5% per annum of gross revenue to the Manager (Commtrade
International), calculated yearly with a high watermark starting from the day after the
ICO.
▪ Operating Expenses: Operating expenses are to be paid from the resulting user fees
(above), to include but not limited to: administrative expenses, network data expenses,
IT consultancy, legal and licensing expenses, government fees, audit, taxes, interest
and iGObit holder communication expenses.

[6.1] iGObit: Macro and Microeconomic ImpactiGObit is being issued in furtherance of the mission of World Sports Alliance. iGObit
represents a combination of robust financial technology, and a firm commitment to financial
equality. At the macroeconomic level, iGObit shall be the preferred medium of exchange for
several proposed commodities exchanges and banks in WSAIGO Member States, as well
as the entire World Sports Alliance Ecosystem. By ensuring that local commodity producers
can achieve the optimal price for their goods, as opposed to being taken advantage of in an
illiquid marketplace (which is what traditionally occurs), producers can operate with fair
pricing.
By using a digital token with defined supply limitations supported by a transparent, and
secure blockchain ledger, as opposed to a local fiat currency which might carry negative
connotations of being vulnerable to hyper-inflation, the proposed VO2 Global banks and
commodities exchange participants can transact using iGObit with a higher degree of
confidence in previously questionable jurisdictions. With WSAIGO as the owner-operator of
the banks and exchanges, these institutions are the sovereign property of the IGO by treaty,
mitigating country risk.
Citizens in WSAIGO emerging market economies will be able to utilize the latest financial
technology to send and receive payments using the iGObit wallet, accessible via desktop or
mobile smart device. (Note: In the majority of emerging markets, most citizens have a
mobile device as opposed to a desktop. See page 11-12.) This will lead to increased
economic output on the microeconomic level, as efficiencies gained through an easy to use
trade and payment mechanism will encourage economic growth. The transparency offered
through iGObit’s blockchain technology will offer additional capabilities. Micro-loans, grants
and/or other entitlements will be directly received by the intended party instead of through a
3rd party intermediary. This enhanced transparency and functionality will help to encourage
additional microfinance and charitable platform participation thereby maximizing economic
impact.
[6.2] iGObit: Value Proposition
▪ Financial Strength: iGObit is backed by the full faith and credit of WSAIGO, where
WSAIGO has contractual entitlement to concessions worth over USD $100 Billion in
verifiable inground commodities assets. iGObit will also be the preferred medium of
trade and store of value for an entire ecosystem of an IGO economy; including, planned
banks, commodities exchanges, sports, entertainment, and media related opportunities.
Most cryptocurrencies lack a physical asset base to assure users of stability nor do they
have the potential for such a large built-in ecosystem of users, as contemplated by the
implementation within WSAIGO Member States, consisting of over 530 Million people,
combined with banks and commodities exchanges.
▪ IGO status: WSAIGO’s Intergovernmental status mitigates country risk, as the IGO’s
diplomatic status allows for certain rights and privileges in connection with its sovereign
property and entitlements; i.e., banks, commodities exchanges and natural resource
concessions. WSAIGO’s sovereign status lends iGObit a degree of credibility and
stability not offered by other cryptocurrency and digital token offerings.
[6] iGObit Tokenomics
24
[6.2] iGObit: Value Proposition (Cont.)
▪ Multi-Currency Wallet: iGObit users shall have access to a multi-currency wallet that
will allow for seamless movement between ῙGObit, Ethereum, Bitcoin and most other
leading world fiat currencies. Having been built as a robust fintech offering for use in the
proposed VO2 Banks, the iGObit wallet has features and benefits far beyond most ICO
offerings in the marketplace. Multi-wallet will be fully functional after the Main-ICO.
▪ Low Costs: iGObit as a payment system will allow for lower transactions costs than
many traditional offerings. This savings will increases net buying power of its users
making iGObit a popular choice amongst users of cryptocurrency and digital tokens,
while also addressing the IGO’s commitment to the UNSDG’s as it relates to poverty,
hunger and initiatives associated with financial inequality.
▪ Potential user base: In addition to planned use by banks and commodities exchanges,
iGObit has a large potential user base by the 530 million citizens that comprise
WSAIGO’s Member States, the majority of which are in emerging markets with high
projected growth rates for payments as allowed by the iGObit wallet.
▪ Security: iGObit’s encrypted transfer system is based upon the iGObit Blockchain
Network, which ensures transactions are executed as intended. iGObit uses state of the
art encryption and ID security to protect its users wallets, as well as a means to comply
with international Know Your Customer (KYC) and Anti-Money Laundering (AML) laws.
iGObit ID technology can utilize traditional user name and password, while detecting
anomalies in users behavioral traits, as well as the ability to incorporate biometrics
(fingerprint, facial recognition, iris scan or voice identification) as a means to identify a
potential or existing user. The iGObit offering is ideal for situations ranging from
micropayments in remote places where identification is harder to ascertain, to large
international commodities and/or banking applications.
▪ Transparency: Using Blockchain Technology, iGObit will be able to conduct full internal
audits, as well as provide 3rd party audits, while still maintaining its users’ ID security.
WSAIGO has partnered with UNGSII (ungsii.org) which provides metrics in connection
with WSAIGO’s commitment to the UNSDG related initiatives, as funded with iGObit
and managed by Commtrade International, the designated manager of the proposed
VO2 Global, the holding company of the IGO.
▪ Impact: WSAIGO exists in furtherance of the UNSDG’s. As part of its charter, WSAIGO
retains 45% of its net revenue to support ongoing operations and to fund projects that
are in alignment with UNSDG and Sport for Development Peace (SDP) initiatives
without placing a financial burden on its Member States. These programs can include
initiatives regarding health, education, clean water, sustainable energy, gender equality,
elimination of poverty and/or hunger to name a few. Which programs are funded is
100% at the discretion of the IGO, so that special interests are not part of the decision
making process.
iGObit Tokenomics

[7.1] Globalization of PaymentsGlobalization of economic activity has exploded over the last 20 years, having been accelerated
by the advent and widespread adoption of the internet. Worldwide payments volume has grown
at a steady double digit pace for the last 10 years. Demand for cashless and digital payments
volumes expanded by 11.2% from 2014 to 2015 and reached 433 billion. This increase was
primarily fueled by emerging market growth; Emerging Asia (43.4%) and the CEMA (Central
Europe, Middle East and Africa) region (16.4%) in particular. In 2015, debit cards accounted for
the largest share of global payment instruments (46.7%) with credit cards being 2nd (19.5%).
Estimated growth rates for global non-cash payments are expected to reach compound annual
growth rates of 10.6%, with emerging economies expected to grow at a CAGR of 19.6%.
Needless to say that the rise in global payments is a trend that is here to stay, with emerging
markets leading the way in terms of projected growth. This creates a tremendous opportunity for
iGObit as a global digital token.
[7.1] Banking Regulation: Velocity of CapitalThe Great Recession of 2008 gave birth to a wave of US financial regulatory reforms.
Unfortunately, Dodd Frank and tepid investment activity resulted in a sharp decline in the
velocity of capital as measured by the M2 Money Supply. The M2 Money Supply has stayed in a
downward trend, creating a “new normal” of slower growth in the overall US economy, indirectly
affecting the broader world economy:
[7] iGObit Proof-of-Concept
26
[7.2] Cryptocurrency Growth: Supply-Demand InequalitiesDuring the Great Recession of 2008, a developer known only as Satoshi Nakamoto invented
the digital P2P payment system known as “Bitcoin”. This cryptocurrency has since grown in
size and scope, evolving from an obscure payment system into a global store-of-value worth
over $100 Billion as of Q4-2017. It is estimated that by 2020 the entire crypto-economy will
exceed $3 Trillion and that by 2022 could be equal to 10% of World GDP. There are several
reasons for the hyper appreciation of Bitcoin prices and other similar cryptocurrencies. First
and foremost, the remarkable demand for easier payment systems spurred by increased
regulation enacted since the Great Recession. While banks and financial markets struggled
with new regulations, evidenced by the slow down in the velocity of capital (See M2 Money
Supply above), cryptocurrencies thrived by offering a means of moving value amongst its
users quickly, and cheaply. Cryptocurrency also offers a high degree of security through its
peer-to-peer, decentralized verification network known as “blockchain”. There are a finite
number of these electronic units of value available for cryptocurrencies because unit growth
is limited by network rules at inception versus being increased or decreased by a
government or central bank. By offering its users a secure means of moving value while
avoiding the regulatory complexity of banks and other money transfer mechanisms, the
demand for cryptocurrencies has outstripped supply causing these electronic store-of- value
systems to appreciate against all of their fiat currency counter-parts.
[7.2] Opportunity: Integration with Fiat CurrencyOne of the biggest obstacles to the continued widespread adoption of cryptocurrencies is the
ability to integrate with fiat currencies; performing payment transactions and wire transfers.
There are currently an average of 3 million daily users of cryptocurrencies, which is projected
to exceed 200 million by 2025. However, a typical cryptocurrency transaction can still take
up to 3 days and is not readily accepted at many traditional banking and point-of-sale
contacts. This creates an opportunity for a cryptocurrency that can bridge the gap between
digital currencies, fiat currencies, traditional banks and existing payment networks in a timely
fashion. iGObit offers an effective means of addressing these needs, while maintaining
regulatory compliance.
[7.2] Overview of ICO’s: 2016-2017The interest in initial coin offerings has been moving fast in an upward trend with over $3.2
billion raised in 2017 between January and November. That is an increase of 3,000% as
compared to ICO’s in 2016. While many of these offerings promise to build a variety of
technology projects with a myriad of uses, almost none of them are backed by anything of
physical substance. In some instances, certain ICO’s have debuted with sharp appreciation,
only to lose considerable value in subsequent months. Several countries have banned ICO’s
including China, Russia and South Korea, citing a lack of regulation leading to speculation
and the defrauding of financially unsophisticated participants. Japan on the other hand, as
the 3rd largest economy globally, has officially embraced cryptocurrency, Bitcoin in particular.
[7.3] iGObit: Substantive Digital TokeniGObit is being issued by WSAUSA, while being fiscally sponsored by WSAIGO. WSAIGO
has substantive physical assets through its contractual entitlement to over $100 Billion in
inground commodity assets. The fiscal sponsorship is executed on an unsecured basis,
where WSAIGO is not committing a specific piece of property as collateral.
27
[7.3] iGObit: Substantive Digital Token (Cont.)IGO, as well as accompanying commodities exchanges and banks, which shall use iGObit
as the preferred medium of trade and store-of-value. Once iGObit is integrated into the
world capital markets and banking systems, along with the support of multiple resource rich
world governments that are Member States of the IGO, iGObit will stand apart from many
other cryptocurrencies by the fact that it will be utilized in high volume, on a day-to-day
basis worldwide. Unlike many past ICO’s, iGObit will not be supported by hyperbole or
abstract projects with no substantive plan for completion. With a wallet that was designed to
be fully functional inside of the proposed VO2 Bank, iGObit has the potential to be widely
adopted as a high value trade currency, while also improving the lives of citizens in
WSAIGO Member States. Many of the IGO’s Member States are emerging markets with a
large population of underbanked and impoverished people. iGObit addresses issues of
social justice while also fulfilling an entrepreneurial opportunity.
[7.4] UNSDG’s: Economic OpportunityWorld Sports Alliance Intergovernmental Organization executes its mission in furtherance of
the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. It has been estimated that in order for
the UNSDG’s to reach its goals by the year 2030 over $30 Trillion in new capital
investments must be deployed, which creates both challenges and entrepreneurial
opportunities. Fortunes will be created as a result of the forthcoming global paradigm shift
as the UNSDGs are implemented as a means to sustain the earth and humankind. iGObit
was designed to a be an integral part of the UNSDG deployment. As part of its charter,
WSAIGO contributes 55% of net revenue generated from its socio-economic initiatives to its
Member States in furtherance of the UNSDGs.
[7.5] UNGSII FoundationAs part of its ongoing commitment to the UNSDG’s, WSAIGO has formed a partnership with
the UNGSII Foundation (www.ungsii.org). This organization was formed in order to provide
key metrics and tools to measure the implementation of the UNSDG’s. The partnership with
UNGSII gives the entire WSA ecosystem the means to ensure that its efforts are in line with
the core values of the UNSDG’s. Media Tenor, AG is the research provider of UNGSII
Foundation. Founded in 1993, Media Tenor is one of the world’s foremost leading media
analysis firms providing accurate data on a global basis. Media Tenor has over 110
analysts who monitor media worldwide and then use proprietary algorithms in order to
determine what is reality versus hyperbole. (Cont’d).
28
[7.5] UNGSII Foundation (Cont’d.)This data is then utilized in order to set agendas for its clients that takes into account sentiment,
qualitative and quantitative data, which can then be used to understand and predict human
behavior. Media Tenor counts Harvard University, the United Nations, several world
governments and misc. NGO’s as its clients.
[7.5] Impact Investing Advantage: UNGSII SCR 300 IndexIn the past, investments aligned with issues regarding the environment and social justice were
associated with reduced profits. Making these types of investments was seen as more of a
charitable work than a true market opportunity. This connotation has recently been dispelled and
replaced with a new reality. As part of its implementation plan for the UNSDG’s, UNGSII created
a stock index consisting of the top 300 companies as it relates to their commitment to sustainable
practices as promulgated by the UNSDGs. Using Media Tenor research, the UNGSII SCR 300
stock index was created in 2017 and has outperformed major stock market indices by a
noticeable amount:
Through its banks and commodities exchanges, the proposed VO2 Global shall offer an equity
index and futures contracts based upon the UNGSII SCR 300 priced in ῙGObit. While keeping the
IGO’s core values, this suite of products will also lend itself to advancing daily volume and
widespread use of ῙGObit. The UNGSII SCR 300 has proven itself to be a formidable market
force by supporting the stock of companies whose values and actions are in alignment with the
UNSDGs. WSAIGO’s holding company and its commercial arm VO2 Global, as well VO2’s
designated manager, Commtrade International, are all aligned with the investment objectives of
the UNGSII SCR 300 and will continue to support the index throughout the WSA ecosystem.
29
World Sports Alliance Intergovernmental Organization Member Nations are the cornerstone of
iGObit’s decentralized network. As of Q3-2017, 100% of WSAIGO Member States are located
in Latin America, Africa, and Middle East, which are projected to be the fastest growing mobile
economies over the next several years. African nations comprise two-thirds of WSA Member
States and, as the least penetrated global region with nearly twice as many SIM connections
as mobile subscribers and is expected to achieve a six percent CAGR in unique mobile
subscribers through 2020.
“The positive transformational impact
of mobile is being felt more profoundly
in Africa than anywhere else in the
world; Africa’s mobile industry is at the
forefront of helping to deliver the
United Nations’ Sustainable
Development Goals. […] We are
focused on creating a better future for
citizens and businesses across Africa,
providing access to essential
information and services, improved
employment and economic
opportunities, and greater productivity
and competitiveness.” –

The Worldwide Race for Resources
MISCONCEPTION: While it is common knowledge that Africa and Latin America are resource
rich, the perception in the majority of western economies is that these regions lack the educated
labor force, infrastructure and anti-corruption protections to be included in traditional banking and
capital markets liquidity pools. While these negative connotations may have been true in the
past, many changes have taken place over the last 10 years creating a significant opportunity for
investment in Africa and Latin America. Advances in technology have curbed corruption allowing
many of the regions’ citizens to become heathier and more educated. Consumer spending in
Africa alone is projected to reach US $1.4 trillion in the next three years and business-to-
business spending to reach $3.5 trillion in the next eight years. Prior misconceptions have led to
a missed opportunity for many and has also slowed development, hurting the local citizens of
these regions.
CHINA INC: Chinese businesses have taken full advantage of the West’s hesitation. China is
now Africa’s largest trading partner and is set to do the same in Latin America in the coming
years. China Inc. is a player in mining, agriculture, technology and infrastructure sectors in these
regions. Inflow of Chinese capital into African is set to reach USD $60 Billion by 2018. While
western economies were hesitant to move, stagnant due to the great recession (2008) and
stymied by over-regulation, Chinese industry has been busy in both Africa and Latin America
building businesses and infrastructure projects.
GROWTH OPPORTUNITIES: While still relatively poor, Africa and Latin America possess vast
natural resources and are modernizing rapidly. Developing economies will play a pivotal role in
the future of world trade and growth. Competition will stiffen once the West attempts to catch up
to China’s emerging market footprint. With planned banks, commodities exchanges and a
blockchain property registry in these regions, iGObit has the potential to realize high
transaction volumes and wide-spread adoption in these growing economies.

▪ Seed round: USD $3 Million Convertible Note issued by World Sports Alliance (USA),
a Nonprofit Corporation, convertible on a 3:1 ratio of principal to iGObit as per the date
of ICO, 5.75% yield, due in 1-year. Use of funds includes ICO marketing campaign,
Pre-ICO deliverables and general WSA expenses.
▪ Pre-ICO: Prior to ICO, WSAUSA will create and directly release a pool of pre-allocated
iGObit (“WSAUSA ῙGObit”) for certain uses in connection with the launch of the ICO.
iGObit tokens will be available during the Pre-ICO at a 30% discount until April 5th,
2018. The discount diminishes by 10% every 30 days thereafter until June 5th 2018. No
tokens will be offered for bounties.
▪ Main-ICO: Target raise of USD $350Million - $500 Million hard cap. Issuer will create
500 million iGObit tokens with a price of $1 per token (see pre-ICO discounts above).
5% of the tokens will be pre-allocated to the WSAUSA and WSAIGO for internal admin,
general expenses and working capital, as well as 5% to cover outside expenses and
hard costs. Accepted currencies and minimum transaction amount TBD.
▪ Emission rate: iGObit will not be arbitrarily mined by the general public. By using the
iGObit open source platform, validators of transaction can be directed by WSA and its
management. This results in a more secure and stable environment, as well as faster
transaction times.
▪ Market making: Issuer will offer stabilizing bids in support of iGObit on exchange(s)
within the first 24hrs to create a steady and liquid environment for iGObit trading.
Additional buybacks are at Issuer’s discretion.

Potential purchasers of iGObit are encouraged to seek legal and financial
counsel prior to participation.
Any of the following Risk Factors could lead to a potential loss of part or all
principal value in ῙGObit:
Purchase, sale and use risk
There exists the risk that iGObit could fall in value and/or never be widely accepted as a
digital token. While the WSA Ecosystem is an intercontinental effort coordinated amongst
several world governments, there is a risk that WSAIGO, WSAUSA and/or its affiliates of
iGObit could fail to produce any significant use cases, which would lead to a decline in value
for the digital token.
Loss of private keys, custodial or purchaser error
There exists the risk that purchasers of iGObit could lose their private keys, leading to the
loss of the ability to transact in their stored iGObit entirely. Participants are advised to keep
multiple backup copies of their wallet address and to store them in a secure and safe place.
Blockchain protocol risk
There exists the risk that the underlying blockchain technology could become corrupt and
cease to function properly leading to errors that could mean significant losses to the
participant.
Hacking, security and validation attacks
There exists the risk that nefarious outside forces could coordinate a cyber-attack on any
part of the network and from any number of entrance points of the network with the intent to
either disrupt the network or outright steal value from the Issuer or any user of the iGObit
network, which would lead to a slowdown in transaction services or an outright loss of value.
In the event of loss due to hacking, Issuer will determine the source of the breach of security,
and at its sole discretion may or may not indemnify, and otherwise make whole, the
participant who lost value. There is a risk that sufficient funds may not be available to cover
any such losses.
Market risk for iGObit tokens from lack of demand.
Potential purchaser may experience difficulty selling or buying iGObit in a thinly traded
market. Issuer does not guarantee that a transaction counterparty will be readily available or
that an orderly trading market will ever exist. Potential purchasers are advised to make
purchases of the token primarily for use inside of the WSA Ecosystem.
Uninsured losses
Issuer may, at its sole discretion, choose to purchase liability insurance or reinsurance in
connection with the iGObit digital token. In the event that the loss of value, for any reason
whatsoever, were to be uninsured or exceed the value of any insurance procured by Issuer,
then participant may lose part or all of the value of their iGObit digital token.
[13] Risk Factors
39
Negative fluctuation of iGObit or correlated crypto token values
There is a risk that the price of iGObit could fluctuate and experience negative returns as
compared to the initial value at the time of purchase. Potential participants are encouraged to
read the iGObit technical overview, ask questions, and do their own due diligence prior to
participation in the iGObit digital token.
Limited Experience / Dissolution of the organization
World Sports Alliance (USA) and/or World Sports Alliance IGO are newer entities at 1 and
10 years old respectively and have not had significant operational experience. The World
Sports Alliance Ecosystem could experience a significant legal, regulatory and/or political
event that could lead to the revocation of its ability to operate in its current iteration, if at all.
Participants hereby understand that there is no guarantee as to the value of the iGObit digital
token and are advised to seek their own legal and financial counsel prior to participating.
Lack of governance rights
Inside of the United States, World Sports Alliance (USA), is a nonprofit corporation and is
bound by the laws of the United States as it pertains to nonprofit corporations, World Sports
Alliance Intergovernmental Organization is considered an international person and maintains
diplomatic status inside of its member states. This could make legal recourse against World
Sports Alliance IGO difficult, if not impossible, as it relates to recourse in the case of claims
of liability against World Sports Alliance IGO.
Regulatory and Legislative Risk
As of the time of writing, the laws surrounding crypto tokens are still unclear in many
jurisdictions worldwide. There is ongoing debate amongst the regulatory bodies in regards to
the legislative rules and laws in connection with crypto-tokens such as iGObit . While iGObit
serves as a utility token inside of an ecosystem that is diverse and spread out worldwide,
there is the risk that iGObit could be considered a security under US law. In the event that
were to occur, iGObit has been issued by a duly formed nonprofit entity as recognized under
IRC 501(c)(3) and therefore its issuance of securities would be considered “Exempt
Securities” as per section 3(a)(4) of the Securities Act of 1933. This securities exemption
does not abdicate the Issuer from being truthful, fair and balanced in terms of its
communications with the general public. Issuer intends to be transparent and truthful in terms
of any material event that may arise that would affect its financial and/or legal status.
Political and central bank intervention
At the time of this writing, WSAIGO as an intergovernmental organization has been duly
formed and carries all of the rights and powers afforded to such an organization. As part of
its charter and treaties amongst its member states, WSAIGO has the right to raise funds in
order to operate and execute its primary mission. While great interest in iGObit has been
expressed as a means to finance Sport Development and Peace initiatives, iGObit has not
been formally ratified under the laws of any particular jurisdiction, although Issuer expects
such events to take place in the near future. In the event that any of its member states or any
other world government were to decree or ban iGObit from its jurisdiction, this could have an
adverse affect on the value of the iGObit and/or lead to detrimental outcomes as it pertains to
its ongoing existence.
Risk Factors
40
Commodities concessions have never been minedWSAIGO has substantial assets through its contractual entitlements to over $120 Billion of
in-ground commodities. While $100 Billion of this value is guaranteed by sovereign
guarantee with the Central African Republican, there is the risk that WSAIGO might not be
able to operate its concession due to any number of factors from logistics, environmental,
terrorism, lack of human resources, lack of water and/or other resources, etc. Due to the
intergovernmental status of the organization, certain risks are mitigated as compared to a
private enterprise, as the property itself is considered the sovereign territory of WSAIGO.
Therefore, WSAGO can secure, defend and operate this concession in a manner consistent
of this being a “state-owned” enterprise of WSAIGO, as per the treaty with the member state.
Logistically, these properties may still be difficult to operate and could result in capital losses
for the IGO.
Unanticipated riskCryptographic tokens such as iGObit are a new and untested technology. In addition to the
risks included in the technical overview there are other risks associated with the purchase,
holding and use of virtual tokens such as iGObit, including those that the Issuer cannot
anticipate. Such risks may further materialize as unanticipated variations or combinations of
the risks discussed in this technical overview.
Risk Factors

[15.1] iGObit Potential Token Use Cases
WSAIGO member-states are geographically and culturally diverse. The token uses
outlined below are under consideration for development and implementation. These
are active areas of research. Customized solutions for each member-state are being
continually evaluated.
Property Rights: Distributed ledgers prevent copying and double-spending of assets like
music, movies, ebooks, home titles, voter IDs, stocks, bonds, security interest in personal
property and more. Catalogued tangible assets are added to the blockchain becoming fully
verifiable and transferable, eliminating forgery, tampering and destruction of records.
1. Marketplace Services: Verify agricultural and mineral assets locally. iGObit users
transact and verify assets on blockchain-based commodity exchanges that include
privacy protocols to protect identity.
2. Land Title Rights: Create iGObit immutable title records system that will secure the
rights of lawful owners of property to improve ease of doing business. Decreased bank
and insurance company verification costs will lead to more available credit.
Banking: WSAIGO will improve financial stability, trust and efficiency in underbanked
markets through its cutting-edge, blockchain-based banking services platform. iGObit will
be the primary unit of exchange for all banking activities.
1. Clearing and Settlement: Post-trade clearing and settlement will be shifted to the
iGObit blockchain. This will significantly reduce back-office costs associated with
records for loans and securities.
2. Payments: Shift parts of central bank payments systems onto blockchain, and offer
iGObit as parallel reserve currency for more flexible monetary policy. Use iGObit to cut
transaction payments cost and time in commercial banks.
3. Trade Finance: Trade finance is still mostly based on paper, such as bills of lading or
letters of credit, being sent by fax or post around the world. Since the iGObit token
ecosystem is fully integrated across WSAIGO member-states, blockchain technology
will be able to revolutionize the industry by digitizing trade logistics and trade finance.
4. Identity: iGObit banks will have a shared digital utility to record customers’ identities
and keep them updated. This provides cryptographic protections and the ability to
share a constantly updated record with parties. In doing so, banks can save huge sums
in “knowyourclient” and “anti-money laundering” related costs.
5. Syndicated Loans: When a US company raises money via a syndicated loan it takes
an average of 19 days banks to settle the transaction. When a loan changes hands
between banks or a borrower repays a loan early, much of the communication is still
done by fax. iGObit token loans can be syndicated on the blockchain and will more
efficiently track and manage the loan lifecycle.
6. Security: Hackers regularly find ways around the latest generation of online banking
security devices to obtain personal information and steal funds. iGObit users will enjoy
far greater protection because tokens will be stored in a digital multi-wallet with
decentralized virtual private network security (VPN).
[15] Future Work
43
Clean Water: The iGObit token powered by blockchain will solve the serious issues
around trust and verification of environmental impact monitoring for clean water sources.
1. Industrial Utility: Blockchain and smart sensor devices (Internet of Things) provide
accurate real-time statistics so that commercial chemical-free water used for oil and
gas projects can be treated on location and reused, cutting costs, and eliminating water
pollution and transportation.
Next Gen Energy: iGObit will provide a decentralized, digital energy sector where people
can achieve greater autonomy though residential energy generation and storage. Tokens
facilitate P2P residential and commercial energy trading. Blockchain radically simplify and
lower the cost for certificate of origin systems by enabling renewable energy generators
and certificate buyers to interact directly.
1. Utility Billing: Application where utilities and third parties use cryptographic identities
to manage metering, customer settlement, advanced rate implementation, or customer
switching.
2. Transactive Energy: Leverage blockchain to give customers access to wholesale
energy markets, which increases efficiency and decreases cost.
3. Certificates of Origin: Application where renewable energy generators and certificate
buyers interact directly and use blockchain to streamline the overall process through
the automation of certificate issuance, tracking, and retirement
4. Demand Response: Use secure iGObit network to conduct aggregation, real-time
measurement and verification (M&V), settlement, and trading for energy efficiency and
demand response programs. WSAIGO will acquire or develop clean energy assets
(e.g. solar, wind, bio fuel) to meet demand, and will allow token holders to purchase
and trade fractions of ownership in income producing energy assets.
Commodity & Crypto Exchanges: WSAIGO will create a decentralized marketplace to
connect formal financial assets to those who have little to no access today. Market
participants convert currency (fiat or crypto) to iGObit token; simplifying cross-boarder
transactions.
1. Increase access to global commodity markets: The iGObit blockchain-based
trading platform offers participants secure identity management, asset registry,
valuation and verification of assets for collateral management and financial services
access, thereby, reducing transaction costs and settlement time, increasing financial
inclusion and trust, all the while activating dormant economic potential.
2. Futures on Index Funds: Users will use iGObit to purchase premier exchange
traded funds in cryptocurrencies and digital assets.
Philanthropy & Remittances: iGObit tokens bypass intermediaries to ensure donations
reach the intended recipient. A portion of WSAIGO net revenue is allocated to charitable
and sustainable investment initiatives.
1. Crowdfunding Campaigns: iGObit users can run independent campaigns for
charitable causes. Multi-wallet simplifies and facilitates currency exchange allowing
fundraisers to reach a larger global audience.
[15.1] iGObit Potential Token Use Cases (Cont.)
44
2. International Transfers: Remittances play a huge role in developing economies.
iGObit will reduce wire transfer fees and settlement time.
Media, Retail & Entertainment: A portion of token sale proceeds will fund WSAIGO’s
Amateur Sports TV Station; an interactive video stream of original content. iGObit will
transform the media value chain.
1. Sales and Marketing: Apparel and supplements can be purchased using iGObit.
2. Production: Public auctions will be held for new content. Viewers contribute iGObit to
vote for content they would like to see produced. Content will reflect public demand in
real time. The blockchain will seamlessly distribute content by matching legal users
with legally purchased content.
3. Advertising: Advertisers purchase banner space and viewers subscribe to ad-free,
premium services using iGObit. The blockchain replaces intermediaries with digital bots
that pull ads.
4. Prices & Fees: Compensation such as revenue sharing & royalty payments will be
issued in iGObit. The blockchain automates payments based on consumption.
5. Affinity Shopping Program: iGObit token users will have exclusive access to over
90,000 popular affinity programs. Points can be accumulated for additional rewards.
Nutrition, Fitness & Health: The World Health Organization estimates that almost 1 in 10
people become ill every year from eating contaminated food. iGObit will improve the lives
of millions through blockchain-based wellness solutions.
1. Food Contamination: To restore consumer trust in food, iGObit will utilize blockchain
traceability systems to create transparency in the food supply chain. Blockchain
records each interaction with an item and assigns it a digital certificate, meaning it can
not be changed or adulterated later by a company seeking to hide the true origin and
movement of the product through the chain.
2. Substantiation: iGObit will reassure consumers of food quality beyond generalized
labels such as “organic”, “low fat” and “healthy”. Public ledgers reduce frequency of
consumers adversely selecting lower quality food by increasing access to accurate
information concerning food quality.
3. Advice & Coaching: iGObit will employ Artificial Intelligence programs to map user’s
nutritional and fitness requirements with the skills of a service provider based on a
number of parameters. This will create a global platform where nutritionists, dieticians,
trainers, coaches, home-based nutrition product makers etc. can interact with and offer
services to needy consumers using blockchain. Users compensate service providers
with iGobit.
4. Healthcare Records: The iGobit token offers a more secure and flexible alternative for
the transfer of data between physicians. Currently medical information sent from one
provider to another is often done via unencrypted email or text. Instead of multiple sets
of records for each patient. Efficiency and accuracy would be dramatically increased
through healthcare records on a blockchain.
5. Sports & Wellness Spas: A portion of the token sale proceeds will be used to develop
athletic facilities and wellness spas around the world. iGObit will be the only means of
exchange for on-campus purchases such as food and beverage, and apparel.
[15.1] iGObit Potential Token Use Cases (Cont.)
[16] About WSA-IGO
In July 2006, World Sports Alliance as a public-private multi-stakeholder partnership initiative
in support of the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs), was called into existence at the
Ministerial Luncheon held as part of the 2006 Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC) High
Level Segment (HLS) at the Geneva United Nations headquarters by the co-founder’s
partners; the Give Them A Hand Foundation (GTAH) and XL Generation Foundation. This
event was hosted under the auspices of the United Nations Department of Economic and
Social Affairs (UN DESA) NGO Section, which encouraged other groups to embrace the
WSA’s initiative. At this event, H.M. King Mohammed VI of Morocco lent his ardent support for
the concept of a World Sports Alliance. This was the first time in the history of the United
Nations that an initiative was ever directly supported by a head of state.
In September 2006, an International Workshop organized in partnership with UN DESA/NGO
Section, UN-NGO-IRENE, GTAH and WSA was held at the New York United Nations HQ.
The event convened worldwide experts in the sectors of sports, youth, and UNMDGs to
propose an integrated model for the use of sports to promote and realize the UN MDGs. Thus,
a Seminar of Experimentation was organized in Rabat, Morocco in May 2007 bringing
together many representatives of the United Nation Agencies and the Civil Society.
In May 2007, during the Seminar of Experimentation in Rabat, Morocco, under the Vienna
Convention on the Law of Treaties pursuant to the United Nations Treaty Series, entered in
force on January 27, 1980, the World Sports Alliance public-private multi-stakeholder
partnership initiative became an Intergovernmental Organization (IGO) through the first three
Member States’ adoption of the Rabat Declaration (# E/2007/NGO/1). This official U.N.
document, which became WSAIGO’s constitutive act, confirmed the creation and purpose of
WSAIGO. At the same time, UN-DESA/NGO, AICESIS and the Civil Society established the
World Center of Excellence Physical Education, Sports and Leisure for the MDGs
(WCEPESL-MDGs) as a department of WSAIGO, under the oversight of WSAIGO Secretary-
General, Dr. Gilles Klein.
In order to create a sustainable financial model, WSAIGO decided to partner with its Member
States through a collaborative investment vehicle. WSAIGO conceived a model that
contributes to the economic development of its Member States through PPPs (energy,
agriculture, mining, etc.), which increases human capital development (education, health,
gender, etc.) and contributes to sport development (i.e. fight against sedentariness and
chronic diseases, talent detection and promotion). This model was well received by the
international sport civil society (Doha GOALS, UNESCO, ICSS) and presented at several
major international events.

World Sports Alliance (USA), a Nonprofit Corporation
[16.2] While the United States is not a Member State of WSAIGO at this time, in 2017,
WSAIGO sponsored the creation of the World Sports Alliance (USA), a Non-Profit
Corporation, which consists of an NGO that supports national and international amateur
athletics to further WSAIGO’s message that sports provides numerous benefits to society.
WSAUSA is recognized as a tax-exempt organization as per IRC section 501(c)(3).
With a view to providing greater visibility for WSAIGO and raising awareness for its mission
within the United States financial community, as well as exposure to American technological
innovators for sustainable development on behalf of WSAIGO Member States, WSAUSA is
developing and promoting initiatives that are consistent with the United Nations UNSDGs,
while focusing on youth sports as a means to develop human potential physically, mentally,
socially and emotionally, while fostering global citizenship towards the building of a just,
humane and equitable society.
WSAUSA is currently planning a number of initiatives that revolve around amateur athletics
events, sports media, entertainment, fitness and nutrition, all in furtherance of the UNSDG’s
and WSAIGO’s Sports for Development and Peace initiatives.

granted concessions and private-public-partnerships (PPP’s). WSAIGO’s multibillion dollar
balance sheet is supported by holdings in natural resource commodities and various private-
public partnerships. These government concessions were granted to WSAIGO through
partnerships with its Member States in furtherance of its mission.
WSAIGO invests in institutional, as well as opportunistic private securities across a variety of
sectors, including energy, mining and metals, technology, transportation, infrastructure,
media/entertainment, healthcare and more. As per its charter, WSAIGO uses 45% of net
revenue generated from its socio-economic initiatives to sustain ongoing operations in
furtherance of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals under the auspices
of the Sports for Development and Peace platform without placing a financial burden on
