Section 2: Global Digital Economy Trends
2.1 Global Trends in Asset Digitalization
2.1.1 Trends
Currently, the global digital economy is experiencing robust growth and has become a critical engine driving global economic expansion. Moreover, the development of global legal digital currencies is advancing rapidly. Regardless of the underlying economic and regulatory frameworks, the trend towards digitalization is irreversible, unstoppable, and accelerating. Traditional and existing transactions will increasingly be conducted using digital currencies, enhancing the digitization of industries and assets significantly. This indicates that asset digitalization is on a rapid upward trend, simultaneously providing a continuous stream of vitality for the development of the digital economy.
2.1.2 Data
Digital assets are non-monetary assets in electronic data form, owned or controlled by enterprises or individuals, held for sale or in the production process during regular activities. Although digital assets have not yet fully integrated into mainstream life, data indicates that they are among the fastest-growing assets in the world over the past decade. Their market value was only around 10 billion USD in 2014, but by early 2022, it had surged to approximately 2.3 trillion USD.
According to research by Boston Consulting Group, the global scale of real-world asset tokenization is expected to grow to $16.1 trillion by 2030 (projected to account for about 10% of the global GDP). This includes $3.2 trillion in real estate tokens, $3.9 trillion in equity tokens, $1.2 trillion in debt and investment fund tokens, $3 trillion in alternative financial asset tokens, and $4.8 trillion in other tokenized assets.
Citibank predicts that by 2030, the global scale of real-world asset tokenization (digital securities segment) will reach between $4 trillion to $5 trillion. This includes $1.9 trillion in tokenized corporate and quasi-sovereign bonds, $1.5 trillion in tokenized real estate funds, $700 billion in tokenized private equity and venture capital funds, and between $500 billion to $1 trillion in tokenized securities financing and collateral. Additionally, $1 trillion in global trade finance assets is expected to be tokenized.

Section 4: Vcity Virtual Economy
4.1 Social Finance
4.1.1 Overview of Social Finance
4.1.1.1 Definition of Social Finance
In Web3, social finance refers to a new financial model that integrates social networking with financial services. Traditional financial services are typically provided by banks, financial institutions, or merchants, such as user-to-user transfers. However, social finance leverages the decentralization of Web3 technology and the features of smart contracts, enabling people to participate in and enjoy various financial activities through social networks.
In the context of Web3 social finance, social networking platforms can act as gateways to financial services. Users can create personal profiles, connect with friends and followers, and engage in financial transactions and collaborations with other users. This model provides a more personalized and social financial experience through the networks of relationships and trust established on social networking sites.
Some common applications of social finance include:
(1)Social Payments: Users can make quick and convenient payments and transfers through social networks, such as paying friends via social media platforms, tipping speakers, and giving red envelopes in communities.
(2)Social Lending: Users on social networks can lend to each other, building trust relationships and lending histories. Smart contracts can automatically execute lending agreements to ensure safety and reliability.
(3) Social Investing and Trading: Users on social networks can share their products, investment portfolios, trading strategies, and market insights, facilitating communication and tracking with other users. Such interactions promote information sharing and community collaboration.
4.1.1.2 Problems Addressed by Social Finance
(1) Decentralization: Web3 platforms advocate for decentralization, meaning that the platform is not controlled by a single entity but is driven by a decentralized network and smart contracts. This characteristic of decentralization can increase transparency, credibility, and security, reducing reliance on intermediary institutions.
(2) Data Privacy: On Web2 platforms, users" personal data is often centrally stored and controlled. In contrast, Web3 platforms use blockchain and encryption technologies to grant users ownership and control over their own data. Users can decide which data to share with the platform or other users, thus enhancing the protection of personal privacy.
(3) Incentive Mechanisms: Web3 platforms often adopt a token economy model, incentivizing users to participate in the building and operation of the platform. Such incentive mechanisms can encourage users to contribute content, participate in community governance, and enjoy the benefits of the platform's success.
(4) Disintermediation: Traditional Web2 social platforms often involve intermediary institutions, such as advertisers and data brokers. Web3 platforms, by leveraging smart contracts and decentralized features, can directly connect users and content creators, reducing intermediaries, thereby increasing efficiency and fairness.
In summary, Vcity, as a cross-chain social finance metaverse virtual economy based on Web3, aims to offer a more open, secure, transparent, and autonomous social experience through features like decentralization, data privacy, incentive mechanisms, and disintermediation. This is expected to address some of the issues inherent in current Web2 platforms.
4.1.1.3 Media Advantages of Social Finance
(1) Decentralization: Web3 social finance media is typically built on decentralized blockchains or distributed networks, with no central controlling authority. This means users can interact directly with each other without intermediaries or third-party platforms, enhancing the efficiency and security of disintermediation.
(2) Privacy and Ownership of User Data: Traditional social media platforms often collect and control vast amounts of personal data from users. In contrast, Web3 social finance media typically employs encryption technologies and blockchain to protect the privacy and ownership of user data. Users have better control over their data and can choose to share or sell their information to other users, thereby gaining economic benefits.
(3) Incentive Mechanisms: Web3 social finance media often incentivizes user participation on the platform and provides economic rewards for their contributions. Users can earn rewards by creating valuable content, sharing insights, and participating in community governance. This incentive mechanism encourages greater user engagement and improves the quality of content.
(4) Ad-Free Model: Traditional social media platforms typically rely on advertising revenue, which leads to significant ad clutter and misuse of user data. Web3 social finance media, through incentive mechanisms and disintermediation features, can reduce reliance on advertising, offering a clearer and cleaner user experience.
(5) Community Governance: Web3 social finance media often adopts a community governance model, allowing users to participate in decision-making and the direction of platform development. This model promotes user engagement and a sense of belonging, motivating users to contribute to the platform's development and collectively share in its success.
4.1.1.4 Significance of Vcity in Shaping Existing Economic Forms
(1) Decentralized Finance: Vcity can implement decentralized financial services using smart contracts and blockchain technology. This allows users to directly engage in financial activities without relying on traditional financial institutions as intermediaries. Decentralized finance can reduce transaction costs, increase transparency, and provide more people with opportunities to access financial services.
(2) Socialized Financial Experience: Vcity integrates social interactions with finance, offering users a more socialized financial experience. Users can share and exchange financial knowledge, experiences, and perspectives with others on the platform, collectively exploring investment opportunities and strategies. This type of socialized financial communication fosters learning, collaboration, and mutual support, enhancing the overall capabilities and wisdom of financial participants.
(3) Disintermediated Financial Services: Traditional financial systems are populated with various intermediary institutions, such as banks, brokers, and payment providers. Vcity, as a disintermediated financial platform, can directly connect users with financial products or service providers through smart contracts and blockchain technology, reducing intermediaries, and enhancing efficiency and transparency. This provides users with more convenient and cost-effective financial services.
(4) Financial Inclusivity: As a Web3-based financial platform, Vcity can offer financial services to a broader audience. Traditional financial systems often have barriers and restrictions that prevent some people from accessing necessary financial services. By leveraging the decentralized and social characteristics of Vcity, it can lower the barriers to entry and offer inclusive financial services to more people, promoting equitable wealth distribution.
Vcity, as a cross-chain social finance metaverse virtual economy based on Web3, can drive decentralized finance, socialized financial experiences, disintermediated financial services, and financial inclusivity within the current economic landscape. It provides users with a more open, socialized, and inclusive financial experience, fostering the development and widespread accessibility of financial services.
4.1.2.1 On Decentralized Community Governance
(1) Concept of Decentralized Autonomous Organizations: In Web3, a DAO (Decentralized Autonomous Organization) represents an innovative organizational form that uses blockchain technology and smart contracts to achieve decentralization and autonomy.
(2) Decentralized Organizational Structure: A DAO is a decentralized organizational structure without traditional central authorities or centralized management. Decision-making and management powers are distributed among all participating members, with each member having an equal say.
(3) Blockchain Technology-Based: DAOs utilize blockchain technology, especially smart contracts, to establish transparent and immutable rules and operational mechanisms. Smart contracts are automatically executed, ensuring that operations within the organization comply with pre-set rules.
(4) Voting and Governance: The process of member participation in decision-making is typically facilitated through voting. Each member can express their opinions on various issues based on their "credit value" holdings or other voting weights. In this way, DAOs achieve consensus-based autonomy and governance.
(5) Rewards and Incentive Mechanisms: To encourage active participation in the DAO, incentive mechanisms are established, offering token rewards or other forms of returns to promote member involvement and contribution.
(6) Transparency and Publicity: All operations of a DAO are recorded on the blockchain and are accessible to anyone, ensuring transparency and public visibility. This transparency helps build trust and reduces potential corrupt practices.
(7) Voluntary Participation: Participation in a DAO is voluntary; members can freely choose whether to join, leave, or participate in the decision-making process. This openness and freedom are key characteristics of DAOs.
Vcity, as a comprehensive platform, is dedicated to providing all-around support for all Web3 builders, assisting them in constructing the necessary infrastructure for the Web3 ecosystem. This support includes, but is not limited to, domain registration, technical consulting, marketing promotion, and long-term operational support.
Sky Verse is one of Vcity's innovations, a comprehensive ecological platform specially designed for users to showcase themselves.
Sky Verse acts as a user's personal website within Vcity, yet it transcends the traditional notion of personal websites, offering a microcosm that showcases all the sectors a user engages in within Vcity. As a crucial application in the Vcity ecosystem, Sky Verse provides a convenient gateway for Web3 participation. By logging into Vcity, users automatically receive a platform identity ID, unlocking comprehensive ecosystem benefits and services. For instance, a user's articles, videos, products, all assets within the metaverse, and personal broadcasts in Between streaming media can be directly displayed on Sky Verse. Moreover, users can easily manage their Sky Verse, such as changing usernames, uploading personal profiles, and sharing thoughts and life snippets anytime, anywhere, similar to using social platforms like Facebook, WeChat, YouTube, X, and TikTok.
Additionally, users who hold Genesis NFTs and have passed KYC verification can obtain exclusive top-level domains and possess their own unique spaces in the metaverse.
In summary, Vcity aims not only to create a closed-loop metaverse for the platform but also to nurture the personal microcosms of each individual.

The NFT section of Vcity is divided into two parts:
(1) Platform Productions
Platform-produced NFTs refer to those launched on the VcityApp trading platform, featuring art that represents various global cultural systems. These NFTs are designed by the platform's Art Director and are available for sale globally. The first release is the Chinese Guochao series NFTs, with future releases to include art NFTs from different cultures, such as Russian cultural art NFTs, French cultural art NFTs, etc.
NFTs launched by the platform hold not only financial value but also added benefits, such as bonus points acquisition, anniversary event tickets, entry tickets to various metaverse scenes, and can also represent specific rights on the platform, such as access to special features or discounts.
The platform has currently issued three types of NFTs: Genesis NFT, KYC NFT, and Voice NFT.
a.Genesis NFT
Holders of the Genesis NFT enjoy the following benefits:
Bonus points acquisition;
Top-level domain ecosystem;
Priority operating rights for offline chain stores;
Direct Advice Channel;
Partner medal.
b.KYC NFT
Holders of the KYC NFT enjoy the following benefits:

4.1.3.2 Token Issuance – dB
dB is derived from the destruction of Voice NFTs and serves as the platform token for Vcity. It is a digital asset based on cryptographic technology, secured by blockchain and other distributed ledger technologies for safe transactions and record-keeping. As part of the Vcity platform's economic model, dB aims to support and incentivize user participation and usage.
Before dB is on-chain, "attention accumulation" is a key feature for earning dB. This means users earn platform tokens by contributing their attention, with a distribution method based on the principle of "more work, more reward." Once dB is on-chain, it can be purchased through the Vcity dB trading market or major exchanges.
dB can be utilized for the acquisition of goods or services. Additionally, dB can be employed across various application scenarios within the Vcity ecosystem. Users holding dB are better positioned to participate in the construction and development of the Vcity ecosystem.
4.1.3.3 Digital Asset Trading Platform
The Vcity Digital Asset Trading Platform is a decentralized digital asset internal circulation market based on Web3 technology, designed for Vcity users. It encompasses multiple sections including the "NFT Market" trading platform, NFT lending platform, NFT staking platform, and dB trading market. These sections operate through smart contract automation, providing various methods and safeguards for the circulation of digital assets.
(1) "NFT Market" Trading Platform
The "NFT Market" is an NFT trading platform independently developed by Vcity, located on the main page of the app. Users can conduct various types of NFT transactions at any time in the NFT Market, enjoying the autonomy to set their own prices and adjust them along with the quantities as desired.

(2) NFT Lending Platform
a. NFT lending is one of Vcity's innovations in the decentralized finance sector. Lenders earn corresponding dB profits by listing their NFTs on the lending market. Borrowers, during the rental period, obtain the pledge rights of the NFT and other rights associated with the NFT, excluding bonus points acquisition, such as increased limits for listing products, KYC certification eligibility, and decentralized management permissions;
b. The lending period is set at the discretion of the user. However, once a loan agreement is in effect, it is automatically executed by a smart contract and remains so until the end of the lending period, after which the NFT can be retrieved.
(3) NFT Staking Platform
a. NFT staking is another innovation by Vcity in the decentralized finance sector. Users who stake a specified amount or more of NFTs can obtain corresponding merchandise listing quotas. The staking does not affect the bonus points acquisition benefits, but other rights are frozen during the staking period;
b. During the staking period, users can retrieve their NFTs at any time. However, if the staked NFTs fall below the specified amount, all listed merchandise is automatically delisted. If the NFT staking meets the specified amount but the listed merchandise exceeds the quota, the excess merchandise will automatically be delisted;
c.Current Staking Rules
The purpose of staking is to regulate the behavior of sellers in the dB Shopping Mall, protect buyer rights, enhance seller credibility, and promote the healthy development of the Shopping Mall.
NFT Staking Rules:
Genesis NFTs and KYC NFTs continue to generate computational power even while staked;
Only by staking 1 Genesis NFT, 1 KYC NFT, or 10 or more Voice NFTs can merchandise be listed;
If the staked amount falls below the merchandise listing quota during the retrieval of NFTs, all merchandise will be automatically delisted.
NFT Staking Quotas:
The staking quota for one Genesis NFT is 10,000 dB;
The staking quota for one KYC NFT is 5,000 dB;
The staking quota for one Voice NFT is 100 dB.
Credit Score Bonuses:
When the credit score exceeds 1,000, the staking quota is multiplied by 1.3;
When the credit score exceeds 2,000, the staking quota is multiplied by 1.5;
When the credit score exceeds 3,000, the staking quota is multiplied by 1.8;
When the credit score exceeds 5,000, the staking quota is multiplied by 2.
(4) dB Trading Market
The dB Trading Market is a dB trading platform independently developed by Vcity, located on the main page of the app. Users can conduct dB transactions at any time in the dB Trading Market, enjoying the autonomy to set their own prices and adjust them along with the quantities as desired.

4.3 Metaverse
4.3.1 Definition of the Metaverse
The metaverse is a virtual digital world that exists parallel to our real world. It is a concept based on computer technology and virtual reality, designed to create a vast, diverse, and highly interactive virtual environment.
In the metaverse, individuals can engage in virtual interactions, explore virtual spaces, participate in virtual economies and social activities, and even engage in creation and development.
The metaverse is typically composed of a vast array of digital content, virtual reality, augmented reality, and artificial intelligence technologies. It may include various virtual landscapes, role-playing, social networking, gaming, virtual economic systems, and other virtual experiences.
The goal of the metaverse is to provide an immersive experience, enabling users to engage in interactions and experiences distinct from the real world. Many sections of Vcity are miniaturized versions of the metaverse, such as the decentralized management center, jury system, cloud community, and communities on various public blockchains, all of which are specific implementations of the metaverse.
4.3.2 Layout of the Vcity Metaverse
(1) The Vcity metaverse will feature 88 virtual floating islands and 99 virtual cities, each conducting elections for one island leader and one city mayor respectively. Rules for each election cycle will be established prior to the elections. Upon successful election, the island leaders and city mayors will have the authority to manage and operate their respective virtual floating islands and cities. They will enjoy all the dividends from digital transactions generated within their areas and will also bear the corresponding risks.
Annotation:The management rights for virtual floating islands and virtual cities can be transferred within the rules set by the platform.
(2) Digital Museum (see clause 4.5) and cultural centers will be hosted within the Vcity metaverse. They will offer for sale NFTs or memorabilia that correspond to actual cultural artifacts, which can be purchased globally using dB or other digital assets.

Section 10: Supplementary Provisions - Glossary of Relevant Terms
10.1 What is Web3
Web3 refers to the third version of the Web, centered around the concept of decentralization. The goal of Web3 is to dismantle the centralized architecture of the traditional internet, enabling users to have better control over their data and digital assets.
In Web3, blockchain technology plays a crucial role. Blockchain is a decentralized distributed ledger that records an immutable history of all transactions and information. Web3 leverages blockchain technology to build decentralized applications and services.
Compared to the traditional Web, Web3 has the following characteristics:
Decentralization: Web3 does not rely on centralized servers or institutions to store and manage data. Instead, data is shared and verified through a network of distributed nodes.
User Control: Web3 gives users direct control over their personal data and digital assets. Users can independently decide how to use, share, and protect their data.
Transparency and Security: Since data is stored on the blockchain, Web3 offers a high level of transparency and security. Transactions and information can be publicly viewed and are resistant to tampering.
Smart Contracts: Web3 utilizes smart contracts to enable automated and programmable transactions and agreements. Smart contracts are predefined rules and conditions that automatically execute the relevant actions once the conditions are met.
Its goal is to create a more open, fair, and secure internet ecosystem, allowing users to more freely participate in and control their digital world.
10.2 What is an NFT
NFT (Non-Fungible Token) is a type of digital asset based on blockchain technology, characterized by its uniqueness and irreplaceability. Unlike traditional cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin or Ethereum, which are interchangeable and where each unit can be exchanged for another, NFTs are unique. Each NFT has its own distinct identifier and value.
The uniqueness of NFTs stems from smart contracts within blockchain technology, which allow creators to transform digital assets into non-replicable, one-of-a-kind items. These digital assets can take various forms, such as artwork, music, videos, game items, virtual real estate, and more. NFTs not only record the ownership and transaction history of the digital asset but also ensure its authenticity and immutability.
