**2017-2023 Strategic Plan: Value and Resilience** The number of cryptocurrency holders is projected to increase nearly 10-fold, from the current 22 million to 200 million worldwide in 2020. The simplest way to become a cryptocurrency owner is to sell goods for crypto. This approach will encourage adoption in the coming years. Cryptocurrency market capitalization is around $ 300 billion. reaching 37% of the world population in 2020. # FGT Blockchain ## What is the Blockchain? Most of the world of cryptocurrency technology such as Bitcoin relies on the form of databases with the advantage of being able to track large and safe transaction volumes. The technology used by many digital currencies is Blockchain. Blockchain was First implemented in 2009, and was revolutionized with Blockchain 2.0 in 2014. The Blockchain technology consists of blocks that hold transactions, where each block is interconnected through cryptography, thus forming a network. Blockchain also has the potential to be used outside the scope of digital currencies, and attracts many traditional Financial institutions to be adopted.
# How the Blockchain Works The Blockchain system consists of two types of records, transactions and blocks. This transaction is stored together in one block. The unique thing about the Blockchain is that each block contains cryptographic hashes that form a network. Cryptographic hash function is to take data from the previous block and convert it to compact string. This string allows the system to easily detect sabotage. > With this method, it means that each block does not need to have a serial number, the hash allows each block to verify its integrity. Each block will confirm its validity from the previous block. Block connection is not the only thing that keeps the network safe. This technology is also decentralized, every computer with installed software has a copy of Blockchain that is constantly updated with new blocks. There is no centralized server that holds the transaction, and because each new block must meet the requirements in the chain or network, no one can overwrite the previous transaction.
Other transaction requirements, i.e. can be used to determine valid entries. In Bitcoin, for example, valid transactions must be digitally signed, and must issue one or more unused outputs from the previous transaction, as well as the number of outputs transactions cannot exceed the number of inputs. Transactions using Blockchain technology are peer-to-peer, meaning that data (can be messages, money, or important information) can be transferred from one user to another without the help of a third party to process it. With Blockchain, we no longer need to depend on one server because all transactions are replicated throughout the network so that we avoid various forms of fraud due to modified data, server down, or hacked accounts. ## Instant, Safe, Efficient and Transparent {% hint style="success" %} Data transmission occurs instantly and efficiently. All transactions and data storage are guaranteed to be safe because they are replicated throughout the blockchain network so that to change one data, the hacker must also change the same data on all other user's computers at the same time.This is very impossible to do. Blockchain is like a big book where all transactions are transparent and can be checked by everyone so that they ensure credibility. {% endhint %} Blockchain technology appears to revolutionize our technology into a more modern world with a more instant, transparent and efficient work system without the need to rely on centralized servers. Blockchain technology appears to revolutionize our technology into a more modern world with a more instant, transparent and efficient work system without the need to rely on a centralized server. # FGT Algorithm ## Types LEB128\ **Little Endian Base 128** encoding for unsigned integers typically used to specify length prefixes for arrays and strings. Values in range \[0, 127] are encoded in one byte. Larger values use two or more bytes. ## Integer A **LEB128** integer with a maximum allowed value of 0x7fffffffffffffff (2 – 1) and a minimum of 0. A varint63 its into a signed 64-bit integer. ## String A binary string with a **LEB128** prefix specifying its length in bytes. The maximum allowed length of the underlying string is 0x7fffffff (2 – 1). \ \ The empty string is encoded as a single byte 0x00, a one-byte string is encoded with two bytes 0x01 0xNN, a two-byte string is 0x02 0xNN 0xMM, etc ## String32 A fixed-length 32-byte string typically used to encode **hashes**. ## SHA3 SHA3 refers to the **SHA3-256** function as defined in **FIPS202** with a fixed-length 32-byte output. This hash function is used throughout all data structures and algorithms in this spec, with the exception of SHA-512 (see **FIPS180)** used internally as function H inside Ed25519 (see **RFC8032**). ## List A List is encoded as a **Integer**-prefixed list of serialized items, one by one, as defined by the schema. The length prefix indicates the number of items that follow. ## Pointer A *Pointer* is encoded as a **String32**, and identifies another entry by its ID. Pointer restricts the possible acceptable types: *Pointer\* must refer to an entry of type X. A Pointer can be nil (not pointing to any entry), in which case it is represented by the all-zero 32-byte hash: > 0x0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 ## Program Program encapsulates the version of the FGT and the bytecode that should be executed by that FGT | FIELD | TYPE | DESCRIPTION | | ---------- | --------- | ------------------------------------------------------- | | VM Version | *Integer* | The FGT version to be used when evaluating the program. | | Bytecode | *String* | The program code to be executed. | Program encapsulates the version of the FGT and the bytecode that should be executed by that FGT **Inputs:** 1. program, 2. arguments (list of strings), 3. transaction version (integer). | FIELD | TYPE | DESCRIPTION | | -------- | ----------------------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | Ref | *Pointer\* | Previous entry referenced by this ValueSource | | Value | *AssetAmount1* | Amount and Asset ID contained in the referenced entry. | | Position | String32 | If this source refers to a **Mux** entry, then the Position is the index of an output.

If this source refers to an *Issuance* or *Spend* entry, then the Position must be 0. | ## Merkle Root A top hash of a merkle tree (binary or patricia). Merkle roots are used within blocks to commit to a set of transactions and complete state of the blockchain. They are also used in merkleized programs and may also be used for structured reference data commitments. ## Merkle Binary Tree The protocol uses a binary merkle hash tree for efficient proofs of validity. The construction is from RFC *6962 Section* 2.1, but using *SHA3–256* instead of *SHA2–256.* It is reproduced here, edited to update the hashing algorithm. The input to the *merkle binary tree hash* (MBTH) is a list of data entries; these entries will be hashed to form the leaves of the merkle hash tree. The output is a single 32-byte hash value. Given an ordered list of n inputs, *D\[n] = {d(0), d(1), ..., d(n-1)}*, the MBTH is thus defined as follows: The hash of an empty list is the hash of an empty string: > MBTH({}) = SHA3-256("") The hash of a list with one entry (also known as a leaf hash) is: > MBTH({d(0)}) = SHA3-256(0x00 || d(0)) For n > 1, let k be the largest power of two smaller than n *(i.e., k < n ≤ 2k)*. The merkle binary tree hash of an n-element list *D\[n]* is then defined recursively as > MBTH(D\[n]) = SHA3-256(0x01 || MBTH(D\[0:k]) || MBTH(D\[k:n])) where || is *concatenation* and D\[k1:k2] denotes the list *{d(k1), d(k1+1),..., d(k2-1)}* of length *(k2 - k1)*. (Note that the hash calculations for leaves and nodes differ. This domain separation is required to give second preimage resistance.) Note that we do not require the length of the input list to be a power of two. The resulting merkle binary tree may thus not be balanced; however, its shape is uniquely determined by the number of leaves Merkle Patricia Tree The protocol uses a binary radix tree with variable-length branches to implement a merkle *patricia tree.*\ \ This tree structure is used for efficient concurrent updates of the assets **merkle root** and compact recency proofs for unspent outputs.\ \ The input to the *merkle patricia tree* hash (MPTH) is a list of key-value pairs of binary strings of arbitrary \ length ordered lexicographically by *keys*. Keys are unique bitstrings of a fixed length (length specified for each instance of the tree). Values are bitstrings of arbitrary length and are not required to be unique. Given a list of sorted key-value pairs, the MPTH is thus defined as follows:\ \ The hash of an empty list is a 32-byte all-zero string: > MPTH({}) = 0x0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 # FGT Platform Structure

The Origins Although the development of the underlying technology dates back to the 1980s, cryptocurrencies as we know them are a quite new and rapidly evolving phenomenon. Bitcoin was the first digital currency to be developed in 2008 by the pseudonymous developer(s) Satoshi Nakamoto and was released in early 2009. In its early days only a few cryptography experts and privacy advocates known as the Cypherpunks recognized the revolutionary potential but Bitcoin remained mainly undiscovered by the masses until mainstream media began to cover. In late 2011 Litecoin was one of the first alternative digital currencies to be developed based on the Bitcoin protocol and gave birth to rise of the Altcoins.

Although there are thousands of cryptocurrencies today Bitcoin always maintained its dominance over all the Altcoins. Illustration 1: Percentage of Total Market Capitalization (Dominance) Source: coinmarketcap.com

# 1.2. Current Metrics Cryptocurrencies 3,769 Fiat currencies 156 Exchanges 166 Markets 12,438 (Source: coinlib.io) # 1.3. Performance The first real-world transaction with Bitcoin was arranged in May 2010 when two pizzas worth $25 were bought for 10,000 BTC, valuing one Bitcoin at less than one cent ($0.01). Just about one year later Bitcoin had already achieved parity with the US Dollar ($1) and kept rapidly shooting higher over the next years until it peaked at around $1,250 at he end of 2013. The collapse of Mt. Gox which was by far the biggest exchange at that time, handling almost 70% of the total trading volume, dealt a severe blow to the confidence of Bitcoin investors and BTC prices had to go through a long lasting consolidation phase until the all-time high was broken in early 2017 but once the ATH was broken Bitcoin skyrocketed. 2017 was a monumental breakthrough year for Bitcoin as we experienced prices shooting from under $1,000 at the beginning of the year up to almost $20,000. Even this astonishing performance was excelled by some Altcoins like ETH which posted record gains of almost 5,500% in 2017. These kinds of almost ridiculous performances can’t be achieved in any other market # 1.4. Projections The highly volatile nature of the nascent cryptocurrency markets makes it exceptionally hard to predict their future growth, but to give you an idea of what to expect in the coming years, we will present a brief overview of projections by some of the most notable key players in these markets. First and foremost, there is the widely publicized “1 Million USD by the end of 2020” prediction by the famous billionaire investor John McAfee. He emphasized that this seemingly excessive target would be achievable because the US Dollar will be massively devalued over the next years. McAfee might be considered a quite controversial figure but his track record of incredibly successful investments is unquestionable and he is not the only one with such exaggerated price targets. The renowned hedge fund manager, serial entrepreneur and venture capitalist James Altucher also has a Bitcoin price target of 1 Million USD by 2020 and though he was elected the most influential business journalist of 2017, he is certainly not just juggling numbers. The prominent venture capitalist Tim Draper just recently stated his Bitcoin prediction of 250,000 USD by 2022, which seems to be a much more realistic timeline and target but even that would suggest a staggering 3,000% gain from the current price levels. But not just Wall Street legends seem to believe in a bright future for this market, even the democratic US Senator Mark Warner labelled cryptocurrencies as transformational tech that would change the world and predicted a market capitalization “north of 20 trillion Dollars” by 2020 # 1.5. Regulation In the early years after the inception of cryptocurrencies there were absolutely no regulations at all, it was basically the wild west. Due to their decentralized and often anonymous nature, legislators all over the world are still facing the complicated challenge of regulating a space, that was designed to be beyond the reach of centralized government authorities. Nevertheless, these regulatory efforts have been intensified in recent times. Regulation is necessary and helpful; clamping down on all sorts of shady criminal activities will help the ecosystem mature and encourage new investments. Especially big institutional investors will be prompted to finally enter the cryptocurrency markets when the regulatory landscape is shaping up ## A World of Cryptocurrencies

# 1.7. Liquidity Liquidity measures the ability of an asset to be frictionless converted without affecting the assets price, ideally allowing buying and selling of an asset with minimal price disturbance. Liquidity is highly correlated to volatility - lower liquidity usually results in more volatile markets, causing drastic price swings, whereas high liquidity creates a less volatile market, in which prices do not fluctuate as excessively. Despite the fact that the cryptocurrency markets are trading with extremely high-volume levels, they are not nearly as liquid as we might think. This market is still highly fragmented in a web of exchanges under very different jurisdictions. The Liquidity is spread through various more or less trustworthy exchanges all over the world. The emergence of more trustworthy regulated exchanges has boosted overall liquidity but has not yet delivered the desired effect of lowering spreads and slippage costs. Furthermore, increasing liquidity would definitely encourage significant institutional investments and promote mainstream adoption

# 1.8 Volatility Volatility is the degree of variation in an assets price movements, most commonly measured by the standard deviation. Volatility relates to the uncertainty on the extent of price changes. High Volatility means prices might change dramatically within a short time period, whereas low volatility means that prices do not fluctuate severely but change at a steady pace. The nascent cryptocurrency markets are still highly volatile. Bitcoins Volatility Index currently stands at a 30-day average of 5.01% and most Altcoins experience even more excessive price swings. In sharp contrast, the traditional markets just had their least volatile year in decades of trading. Bear and bull market cycles that last months or years in these markets are concluded in matters of weeks, days or even just hours in the cryptocurrency markets, creating huge trading opportunities every single day. But as the graphic below indicates, this drastic volatility is expected to fade as these markets mature over time

# 1.9 Spread The spread usually refers to the gap between the bid and ask price of an asset, but the term is also used for the difference in prices on various exchanges, the arbitrage spread. Low liquidity often results in huge spreads unveiling outstanding arbitrage opportunities. While high frequency traders in the traditional markets battle over every per mille, high single-digit and even low double-digit spreads are emerging on a daily basis in the cryptocurrency markets, making it the perfect playing field for arbitrage traders. Especially during the challenging trading environment in the recent market correction, arbitrage trading will prove to be a rather safe and profitable alternative trading strategy.

# 2. Problem Description Along with the new disruptive technological opportunities, also new issues are also occurring and have to be taken into account. Because of the lack of liquidity for certain pairs, price manipulations and the high amount of non-professional traders, the cryptomarket generally can be declared as extremely volatile. This leads to inefficiencies, where prices are highly varying between exchanges, especially when analyzing pair chains. Among various factors, this is one of the most important reasons why institutional investors are still worried about entering the crypto area, which hinders the technology from evolving. In order to stabilize these inefficiencies and benefit from potential arbitrage possibilities a lot of technical solutions and administrative workflows have to be implemented. The complex web of exchanges, which includes different means of funding, KYC policies, API results and interfaces, increases the administrative and technical effort to set up an appropriate arbitrage system. Furthermore, users have to open accounts on multiple exchanges in order to benefit from price spreads. For a fully automated arbitrage trading setup various factors have to be considered e.g. transaction time, transaction fees, authenticity of orders in their books, volume, withdrawal limits, etc. This data is provided by exchanges and Future Gold Arbitrage obtains it through their custom Application Programming Interfaces (APIs). However, currently this data is not normalized and standardized. Therefore, working with market data streams from different origins requires specific processing and reformatting of the data into standardized data structures, in order to be able to perform automated analysis of best pricings and liquidities per exchange, to spot truly profitable arbitrage possibilities. Moreover, the problem of latency needs to be tackled, as time is a key factor when it comes to arbitrage trading. Fast internet connections as well as physical proximity are required, so that the necessary speed can be achieved. Setting up the infrastructure for an individual is very costly, time consuming and needs a lot of expertise in financial markets as well as information technology systems. Furthermore, a lot of capital is needed to ensure the liquidity on relevant exchanges, in order to be able to act as fast as possible. Therefore, Future Gold Arbitrage is offering its services to allow individuals of any kind to join pools for profitable arbitrage trading. At the same time, through aggregation of capital, Future Gold Arbitrage will be able to invest in and improve the infrastructure, and keep sufficient funds on relevant exchanges at all times, so that the most profitable arbitrage trading opportunities can be realized # 3. Arbitrage Trading Arbitrage was defined by the French merchant Mathieu de la Porte. In his treatise “La science des négociants et teneurs de livres” it was used as a consideration of different exchange rates to recognize the most profitable places of issuance and settlement for a bill of exchange. From an academic point of view an arbitrage is a transaction that involves no negative cash flow at any probability. Nowadays arbitrage is a trading strategy in economics and financial markets that enables traders and institutions to take advantage of price differences between different markets. These differences occur due to inefficiencies of the markets, which lead to price spreads of currencies. Consequently, these spreads can be exploited for profit generation. As the crypto market is still very young and immature, it offers plenty of possibilities to profit from price differences in a very short time. Based on our backlog tests, the average profit which can be gained is around 0.85%, depending on the liquidity of the trader. However, in order to achieve stable and positive results it requires following implementations: • High liquidity on several exchanges (the more exchanges covered, the better) • Specialized software with certain algorithms is needed to monitor the markets in order to spot the most profitable trades with a certain amount of money • Specific global infrastructure is needed to perform the trades in the appropriate time (server locations, minimization of latency, etc.)
The market follows a certain trend: numbers of crypto-exchanges and -assets are growing faster than new funds flow into the market. Consequently, there is the same liquidity for a larger market, which leads to an increase of arbitrage opportunities. Therefore, arbitrage offers an excellent way to profit in a volatile crypto-market with very low risk, while contributing to making the market itself less volatile by increasing its efficiency at the same time. On April 11th, 2018 at 12:40 GMT, the price of 1 Bitcoin was $6,855.00 on Bitfinex and $6,962.97 on Exmo. That is a price spread of 1.57%. A trader who was holding Bitcoins and US Dollars on both of these exchanges at this time could have immediately realized profits by selling his Bitcoins on Exmo and buying Bitcoins on Bitfinex
The profit will be distributed between the investor, the affiliate and the platform itself. As each party is contributing value to the Future Gold Arbitrage community the allocation of the profits is as followed: 80% to the Future Gold -Coin Holder, up to 18% to the Affiliates and at least 2% to Future Gold Arbitrage. More information about the affiliate program is available on the website Future Gold Arbitrage. # 4. Product Solution The services of Future Gold Arbitrage will be realized in four sequential stages. Our solutions are designed to solve all the problems faced by arbitrage traders, like having to go through a lot of KYC/AML registrations to sign up to various exchanges, dealing with different interfaces, getting sufficient funding and liquidity at all the platforms and finding the most promising arbitrage opportunities # 4.1. Future Gold Arbitrage Platform Future Gold Arbitrage offers a platform for the Future Gold ecosystem where capital is aggregated in order to benefit from arbitrage trading between different exchanges together as a community. After intense analysis of the market, Future Gold Arbitrage defined different investment pools with specialized parameters for the most effective profit generation. Through the easy access to the platform, Future Gold enables automatic arbitrage trading in highly volatile markets for everyone. By merging liquidity and resources in our investment pools, Future Gold Arbitrage’s community members are enabled to take advantage of the algorithms we developed, the continuously improved infrastructure that Future Gold Arbitrage has set up and the combined liquidity that will be distributed on carefully selected exchanges. The dashboard is already developed and has a wallet integrated. The profits are denominated in US Dollar as the volatility of the currency is low and guarantees stable returns. Furthermore, profits can be withdrawn immediately or used for reinvestments. The withdrawal will be issued in Future Gold coins. The Future Gold Arbitrage Team is also working on the Future Gold exchange which will ensure the easy and safe transaction between Future Gold and BTC. However, we are also in contact with major exchanges to be listed there in order to increase the community even faster # 4.2. Beta Phase: Arbitrage Pairs Trading Before the first stage, Future Gold Arbitrage was analyzing major exchanges and their spreads of BTC pairs. Additionally, we focused and established an infrastructure to enable the arbitrage trading. After realizing the huge difference of spreads, Future Gold Arbitrage developed an automated arbitrage trading system, which is able to spot potential arbitrage opportunities of the 19 biggest exchanges, taking into consideration transaction time, transaction fees, volume, order books etc. This system is online since November 2017 and is already used for aggregated arbitrage trading. A closed group of trusted enthusiasts and traders was testing this prototype, until there were no major errors left # 4.3. Stage 1: Arbitrage Pairs Trading After realizing the challenges with low volumes on exchanges and unexpected costs through slippage, Future Gold Arbitrage found a solution that enables investors of any kind to participate in arbitrage trading: by pooling our resources and sharing arbitrage opportunities with each other, everyone makes more profit on average (no more “the winner takes it all”). There are many arbitrage opportunities, but not with high volume. Therefore, Future Gold Arbitrage is aggregating the investments and the algorithm is splitting it in appropriate sizes to benefit with lower volumes on more frequent trades. Effectively, this leads to higher profits. An example can be seen in Abstract 3\. Arbitrage Trading. This system will go live for the community as soon as enough liquidity and the appropriate network infrastructure are in place. This can be ensured when the required starting capital of 20,000,000 USD has been raised in our ICO. # 4.4. Stage 2: Simultaneous Another arbitrage strategy Future Gold Arbitrage is using is the simultaneous Short-Long Strategy. Here we analyzed the spreads between exchanges and monitored on what exchanges the automated bots are having the most effect on arbitrage. Through this analysis to align the existing algorithm to the Short-Long Strategy in order to be able to execute more arbitrage opportunities. The following example illustrates how this strategy is executed:
When the price spread between two exchanges is high enough (first vertical line), the algorithm is selling BTC at the higher price (blue line=Bitstamp) and buying BTC at the same time, with the same amount for a lower price (red line=Bitfinex). Then the system waits until the price spread between those exchanges is minimal and simultaneously executes the same trades reversed (selling at Bitstamp and buying on Bitfinex). So the risk-free arbitrage benefit is the difference between the first and the second spread. Furthermore, it is possible to use the same strategy with futures which is the additional feature. With futures it is currently working for Bitmex and Bitfinex # 4.5. Stage 3: Arbitrage Chain Trading As the market evolves more cryptocurrency projects and exchanges are established. This leads to an even higher inequality of the market prices on exchanges, which gives more arbitrage opportunities. Because of the variety of coins and tokens, certain combinations of arbitrage chains are more profitable than just trading pairs. However, the calculation for feasible combinations is very complex, as more variables have to be taken into account to find the most promising arbitrage cases. Therefore, the Future Gold Arbitrage Team is developing the Future Gold wallet with integrated cloud computing capability to be able to calculate complex optimizations in an adequate time in the given solution room, which is determined by dynamic variables. The more computing power the ecosystem can provide, the more Coins/Tokens and exchanges can be included in the calculations, which increases the multi-dimensional solution room. This leads to more trading possibilities and higher returns. The example below shows a chain trading arbitrage opportunity:
# 4.6. Stage 4: Fully Decentralized Stage 4 will complete the decentralization process, by allowing each user to set up their Future Gold wallet with API credentials for their accounts on exchanges. Additionally, to the automated Future Gold Arbitrage algorithms, this will enable the users to create their own algorithms and execute orders at their will, independent from Future Gold Arbitrage’s trading pools. At this point, the resilience of Future Gold Arbitrage’s network will be so high that it cannot be turned off anymore. An entire ecosystem revolving around arbitrage trading will eventually emerge, since there will be demand for data aggregators, optimized algorithms, fine-tuned trading strategies and more. Nodes with physical proximity to exchanges or an appropriately fast internet connection will also add a high value to the network, where the respective payload will be distributed as reward to the closest nodes of the system. As the Future Gold Arbitrage project progresses and reaches milestones, there will be more users, more liquid capital on exchanges for arbitrage trading, as well as more speed and resilience due to more nodes running in the network and a more and more decentralized network structure. This in turn will increase demand for Future Gold, because it is the key to access Future Gold Arbitrage’s trading platform. Even though the supply of Future Gold is not limited to a certain number, the newly available coins should not have a negative impact on the price, because demand is still surpassing supply. # 5. Technical Details # 5.1. Blockchain The Future Gold blockchain is based on Future Gold code (a.k.a. Future Gold), and the entire project named Future Gold is public on GitHub . The decision to premise on the work of Future Gold’s developers was made because the blockchain they created is fast, secure and has low transaction costs. It was not necessary to “reinvent the wheel”, so to speak. There are a couple of differences between Future Gold and Future Gold -core. One of them is that staking is much more rewarding with Future Gold. The reason for this is that a lot of stakers means that the network has a higher grade of decentralization. High staking rewards are a strong incentive for staking, and will secure the network with many nodes. Other differences affect the scalability and speed of transactions. Optimizations were implemented so that transaction fees are reduced while confirmations occur faster. # 5.1.1. Proof-of-Stake Consensus Mechanism Future Gold consensus mechanism is Proof-of-Stake (PoS), an alternative to Bitcoin’s Proof- of-Work (PoW) consensus mechanism. With PoW, miners solve hard mathematical problems that are easy to verify, in order to make sure that the network cannot be spammed by malicious clients. Miners create new blocks of transactions by validating the transactions and putting the work of solving the mathematical problem in, hence the name. The first miner that finds a correct solution to the current block of transactions gets to collect the block reward, which consists of the transaction fees paid by senders and newly available coins. PoS on the other hand allows holders of coins to stake them, which means that they receive the transaction fees paid by senders for helping the network with validating transactions. PoS blockchain clients do not have to prove that they put work in, because there is a different incentive that makes spamming the network or manipulating it unattractive: if a client is identified as a malicious actor, he loses his staked coins. This is by far more energy efficient than PoW systems. Users can even stake their coins on a Raspberry Pi using only 2W of power. As a result, this maximizes the profits that users make when staking. The Future Gold blockchain pays 7% percent interest per annum to stakers. This is substantial enough to make a profit considering the hardware requirements are not as exaggerated as on PoW-based blockchains. Here is a quick comparison of PoS and PoW. It should become clear why we decided to employ PoS instead of PoW:
# 5.1.2. Fully Decentralized As a PoS-based blockchain, Future Gold promotes a decentralized blockchain. Cryptocurrency enthusiasts know that mining pools reduce the decentralized nature of a blockchain. They place a single business or group of individuals in control of a lot of the network’s computing power (a.k.a. hashrate). This may increase the likelihood of Sybil attacks and 51% attacks in PoW-based systems. Since Future Gold relies on PoS, the economics of mining pools are not effective. Additionally, since the consensus is done arbitrarily without reliance on the computing power, it does not make sense to pool resources together. As a result, Future Gold is more decentralized than PoW-systems like Bitcoin. An indicator of the decentralization of a PoS blockchain is the proportion of market capitalization and number of staking nodes. The table below shows the most decentralized blockchains based on this value. It can be clearly seen that the decentralization ranking of coins changes. However, Future Gold is still leading this ranking.
# 5.1.3. Fastest Transaction Speeds in the Industry One of the perquisites for staking is that the user needs to have a full node wallet such as the Future Gold wallet, which downloads the entire blockchain data, meaning the history of all transactions since the very beginning. The larger number of nodes allows for increased transaction speeds. A metric that can be used is the comparison of the market capitalization and the number of active nodes. Future Gold has a proportion of around 0.38, as compared to Ark with 0.53, ZCash with 0.55 and Ethereum with 4.18. This provides a metric of how decentralized the transactions are on the blockchain. Moreover, it indicates that Future Gold has the best incentive system leading to more active nodes per amount transacted on the blockchain. Future Gold aims to achieve even better results, by making staking more profitable and therefore more attractive to users. Future Gold has one of the fastest transaction speeds in the cryptocurrency industry, blocks are created every 30 seconds. As a result, all transactions are confirmed in seconds, unlike Bitcoin, where it sometimes takes minutes or even hours. Future Gold can currently handle 1,120 transactions per second. # 5.1.4. Low Transaction Costs As a PoS-based system, the transaction costs are substantially lower than in other blockchains. Initially, transactions on the blockchain cost around 0.0001 Future Gold. This is very affordable and extremely competitive. However, the returns are equally attractive to the stakers who get 7% per annum without the need for expensive mining equipment. Even a Raspberry Pi can run the staking Future Gold wallet. # 5.1.5. Differences between Bitcoin and Future Gold Even though the Future Gold -blockchain is based on Future Gold, some aspects are not supported. The main difference is the lack of a side chain. This means that there is no “private send” feature. However, since Future Gold serves as a utility coin that grants access to Future Gold Arbitrage’s trading platform rather than a means of payment, there is no need to make transactions untraceable. Therefore, the entire ledger is publicly available similar to Bitcoin. The Future Gold blockchain will have the same features as NAV Coin version 4.1.1. This means that it will also inherit some of the features of Bitcoin 0.13 that Future Gold was forked from. As a result, the functionality will be compatible with most of the exchanges and applications that support Future Gold. Future Gold Arbitrage will be able to handle real-time transactions at fast speeds using the inherited protocols. The cost of the transactions will be low and users who want to stake can simply acquire Raspberry Pi 3 kits for less than $100 and set up their own staking Future Gold wallets # 5.1.6. Future Gold wallet Future Gold Arbitrage released the first and only official Future Gold wallet on Github: Montana /Arbitrage. Each installed Future Gold wallet becomes a node in Future Gold’s network and communicates with other nodes in a decentralized, peer-to-peer (P2P) fashion. The first version of the Future Gold wallet will support sending and receiving Future Gold, as well as staking them. For stage 2 no additional features are needed. The next major release will introduce a new feature and mark the beginning of Future Gold Arbitrage’s stage 3: users can contribute computational power and internet bandwidth to the network and therefore be rewarded with Future Gold. Finally, the Future Gold wallet will allow integrating with cryptocurrency exchanges directly using your own API credentials in stage 4, which is going to make fully decentralized arbitrage possible to anybody for the first time in history. # 5.1.7. Staking In order to stake the new cryptocurrency, the user first needs to download the latest version of the Future Gold wallet. After the Future Gold wallet is installed and started, an entire copy of the blockchain will be downloaded to that computer. Before the download finishes, your Future Gold wallet will be in what can be considered an immature state. Maturity is reached in around one to two hours, depending on the actual size of the current blockchain and the speed of your internet connection. Coins for staking can be sent to the Future Gold wallet while it is still in an immature state. After the blockchain- download has completed, the Future Gold wallet is ready for staking. A user can go to the settings section and click on “Unlock Future Gold wallet for staking”. The user will be prompted to complete the process by entering the Future Gold wallets passphrase. After around 60 seconds a message appears, saying to expect earning rewards in a given period. The format is given as minutes, hours and days. It is important to note that the Future Gold wallet’s security has not been lost at this point. You will still be required to provide your passphrase when sending coins to others. Also, leave your Future Gold wallet running and online at all times to maximize profits. The interest is compounded and the longer you stake, the more you earn. You can stake using Raspberry Pi 3 machines that use less than 2W of power. # 5.1.8. Staking Rewards The staking rewards are higher at the beginning, which incentivizes a lot of people to stake. This in turn guarantees a strong decentralized network with fast transaction speeds. In the first month, the staking rewards are 5%. Essentially, if you stake 10,000 coins, you will get 500 as reward after one month of leaving the Future Gold wallet online with staking enabled. However, it is important to note that the rewards are based on the group of coins that won the lottery as opposed to the total number of coins staked. The normal rewards are around 0.01 to 8 coins for every block staked. This is calculated using the following formula: Staking Rewards = (number of coins in the group) \* (number of days old / 365) \* 0.07 Example: 1,000 coins are in a coin group that has been staked for five days. The reward will be 1,000 \* (5 / 365) \* 0.05 = 0.959 coins. In the following months, the staking rewards will be decreased to moderate inflation.
After one year the staking rewards are set to 0.8% interest per month for the duration of one year. After that it is permanently fixed to 7% interest per year. This will accelerate the decentralization of the blockchain # 5.1.9. Future Gold Blocks Sometimes a block may be created but gets rejected by other nodes because consensus is not reached. These blocks are referred to as orphan blocks. It is a common occurrence that is caused by two Future Gold wallets staking the next block at almost the same time. The Future Gold wallet works by sending a message to other nodes informing them that you staked the next block. If the other nodes already received a similar message from a different Future Gold wallet earlier, the nodes will reply that it is too late. Your Future Gold wallet will mark the block as an orphan block. You can identify an orphan block on the transaction tab of the Future Gold wallet. They are normally light green as opposed to a darker green and they have a question mark icon beside them indicating that the other nodes did not confirm them on the blockchain. The average occurrence of orphan blocks is around 3%. This is attributed to the short block time. # 5.2. APIs of Cryptocurrency Exchanges Sometimes a block may be created but gets rejected by other nodes because consensus is not reached. These blocks are referred to as orphan blocks. It is a common occurrence that is caused by two Future Gold wallets staking the next block at almost the same time. The Future Gold wallet works by sending a message to other nodes informing them that you staked the next block. If the other nodes already received a similar message from a different Future Gold wallet earlier, the nodes will reply that it is too late. Your Future Gold wallet will mark the block as an orphan block. You can identify an orphan block on the transaction tab of the Future Gold wallet. They are normally light green as opposed to a darker green and they have a question mark icon beside them indicating that the other nodes did not confirm them on the blockchain. The average occurrence of orphan blocks is around 3%. This is attributed to the short block time. # 5.2.1. APIs in General APIs can be defined as sets of procedures or instructions that are used to create applications and algorithms that provide access to features of another application or operating system. In layman terms, APIs specify how different functions or algorithms in a software should interact # 5.2.2. APIs in the World Wide Web From a web development perspective, APIs are often a set of HTTP requests and the according HTTP responses, which are often encoded in the XML or JSON format. An alternative to HTTP-requests and -responses is the usage of WebSockets, which is an advanced technology that opens an interactive communication session between a server and a client and eliminates the need for polling the server permanently. Almost every large online service offers at least one API to developers, in order to make possible third-party applications that use functions or data from the original service. Examples for web APIs are: • Facebook’s Graph API: It allows reading and writing Facebook user’s data, if the user authorizes the third-party app to do so. • YouTube Data API: Integrate YouTube features into an application, e.g. upload a video, manage a playlist, etc. • Google Maps API: A lot of things are possible with the API of Google Maps, e.g. putting a map on a website, finding information about places, getting directions and converting GPS coordinates into street addresses. # 5.2.3. APIs of Cryptocurrency Exchanges As stated before, the most important aspect of Future Gold Arbitrage is communicating with exchanges. Most cryptocurrency exchanges publicly offer APIs, and many of them are also well documented. Some exchange APIs partially or fully lack documentation, a few are not even mentioned on their website, but are only offered after asking for them in person. An example for such an undocumented API is Future Golds WebSocket API. There are two main functionalities why Future Gold Arbitrage needs to interact with exchanges: • Market Data : reading current prices, recent trades as well as information on the trading volume and order book. • Order Management : adding or removing orders from the exchange, knowing when orders were partially or fully filled and executed. Future Gold Arbitrage is integrated with numerous exchanges. Custom adaptors were implemented, which connect to each individual exchange API in the most efficient way possible. # 5.2.4. API Response Normalization Each cryptocurrency exchange employs its own format and schema for the data that is sent from its API. These so-called API responses are then transformed into internal, standardized data structures, in a process that we call normalization. Normalization is an integral part of our system, as the algorithm needs meaningful, uniform data in order to operate properly. Unfortunately, the reliability of the exchange APIs is questionable. It can and probably will happen that one of their APIs will be facing a downtime for a certain period. Another problem that might occur - and one that is even harder to recognize - is that the data itself is erroneous, or something in the response structure was changed without warning. To avoid any follow-up mistakes on our side, which could be caused by such errors on the side of exchange APIs, we implemented a sophisticated suite of tests. Only API responses which pass these tests are considered successfully normalized. If normalization fails, the according data will not be further processed. This is also to ensure that a malicious actor who manages to take control over an exchange API cannot manipulate our system. # 5.3 Latency Reduction In the information technology industry, latency refers to the delay that occurs during transmission or processing of data. For example, it is the time span that passes between the moment you execute a command on your computer, and the bits of data travelling over the internet to the destination and finally getting processed there. Essentially, it is the amount of time it takes in a system to get a response to a request. # 5.3.1. Why Latency Is a Problem As highlighted, latency is the delay that occurs between the request being made and the response. When it comes to trading, it has a great impact on the profitability. Traders and investors need to have an accurate snapshot of the market so that they can make prudent decisions. The high volatility means that prices are always highly fluctuating. Therefore, an accurate reading and a fast transmission of instructions are both integral to making profits. Most exchanges have a high latency. A high latency means that the delay between the requests and the results is considerable. The result tends to be inaccurate readings of the market. If the chart suite used has a high latency, the trader is not aware of price changes. They may be seconds behind others making similar trades. These unexpected price changes can cause serious losses. An example is a trader who wants to make a trade buying at 5.5 and selling at 7.0. If there is a high latency, his purchase request will be approved when the price has already risen to 6.0. This reduces the profits. In the worst, case, if the transaction cost is greater than the margin, then the trade makes losses. This is why low latency communication channels should be used with exchanges. Compared to traditional financial markets, the terminals and network interfaces of crypto exchanges seem to be from a previous era. There is huge potential for improvement, and Future Gold ARBITRAGE acquired lots of expertise in this area. # 5.3.2. Our Latency Approach Due to the evolving nature of our project, there are two ways of how we tackle the problem of latency. In the beginning, our network structure consists of a data center, which is connected to numerous Virtual Private Servers (VPS) all over the world. This star-network uses high-speed connections to the data center. We already have invested in Dedicated Internet Access (DIA) technologies, which allows us to use custom routing paths that are 100% to 1000% faster than regular internet connections. The VPS machines themselves are not interconnected, instead they are connected to different exchanges in the best way that is possible for the respective exchange. Some of them already have a presence in the NY4, which is an advantage, because they can directly be cross-connected. Not every one of our VPS nodes is connected to every exchange. However, in order to guarantee a fail-safe system, we create redundancy by connecting at least two different nodes via independent VPS services to one exchange. If one VPS service fails, the second one will keep working, so there will be no downtime for this exchange in our system. By minimizing the physical distance between the servers of the exchange and their according VPS, latency can be reduced by a factor of 100. This is why we selected VPS services that have their servers in close proximity to the servers of exchanges.

Illustration 12: If you are located in London and you try to get market data from four cryptocurrency exchanges - e.g. Kraken, Bittrex, bitFlyer and Bitfinex - the total latency would add up to 700ms on average.

Illustration 13: With the improved, VPS-based solution that Future Gold Arbitrage is using, this only amounts to 295ms. In this example, Latency is cut by more than half

Beginning with the third stage of Future Gold ARBITRAGE, the network structure will become more decentralized. The Future Gold wallet, which already was capable of acting as a node in the Future Gold blockchain by staking, will get an additional feature, which can turn the users personal computer into a node of our arbitrage trading network (see Wallet). Nodes with a low latency to a given exchange are then preferred to obtain current market data from the exchange, while nodes with high computing power are used for calculations. Each owner of a node is rewarded according to what the node contributes to the whole system. This creates an incentive to run specialized nodes, which are actually useful to the network and thus profitable for the entire community. # 5.4. Beta Phase: Prototype In the development process, it was important to us to get feedback from real users early. For that reason, it was an early goal to get a prototype up and running, so that beta tests with external users could be conducted. This prototype was capable of spotting arbitrage opportunities on three exchanges (Kraken, Bitfinex and GDAX), and capitalizing on them by simultaneously buying on one exchange and selling on another one. It was the proof of concept for the same arbitrage pairs trading principle, which is going to launch for the public in stage 1 but with more exchanges # 5.4.1. System Architecture The hardware of the prototype consisted of a couple of private servers on a single location. Towards the end of the beta phase, this was improved in order to avoid downtimes by redundancy (see stage 1) # 5.4.2. Routing The network structure was a simple star-network with a single point of failure in the center. This marked the starting point of our journey towards decentralization. We would not keep the network with such a high grade of centralization, but it allowed us to bootstrap the product, get results fast and incorporate the users’ feedback in quick iterations. # 5.4.3. Latency Due to the compromise mentioned above, latency was still a hindering factor with the prototype. Experiments with additional VPS close to exchanges showed the effectivity of this approach, which would become standard in stage 1. # 5.5. Stage 1: Arbitrage Pairs Trading Stage 1 incorporates the two most important learnings from the beta phase: the importance of low latency for fast order execution, and the importance of liquidity on the various exchange accounts. Arbitrage pairs trading works best, when the accounts of the according currency pair already have a sufficiently high balance, so that no intermediate currency conversion are necessary. In this phase, investors profit from simple arbitrage between the same instrument on two different exchanges, by buying low and selling high at the same time. # 5.5.1. System Architecture For our production ready system, we are employing a cloud of private servers on multiple locations. There are two different types of servers: Ones for communication with exchanges, and ones for processing market data and making decisions in terms of which arbitrage opportunity should be realized in which way. Failover systems ensure that there is no downtime, unless the majority of the internet itself faces an outage. # 5.5.2. Routing While still relying on a high grade of centralization, there is a significant improvement compared to the early beta phase: Communication with exchanges happens via redundant VPS servers, which have a high-speed connection to our data centers, where our algorithms run on upgraded hardware. The failure of one VPS service has no immediate negative impact on the system as a whole # 5.5.3. Latency By using VPS services in close proximity to exchange servers, retrieving market data and getting orders executed is much faster. Through Dedicated Internet Access technologies, latency between the various VPS servers and our own hardware is kept at a minimum. # 5.6. Stage 2: Simultaneous Short-Long Strategy In the next stage, an additional arbitrage strategy gets introduced. The novelty here is that profit is not just generated by trading the asset itself, but additionally by trading futures of the asset. This means that it becomes possible to realize arbitrage opportunities without the need to have funds of the given currency for immediate disposal. Instead of buy- and sell-orders, so called short- and long-orders are used. # 5.6.1. System Architecture Since only a few crypto exchanges support trading futures at the moment, the main change here is that further VPS services get added to handle the increased traffic. The first exchanges that are affected by this are Bitmex and Bitfinex # 5.6.2. Routing No substantial changes are planned for this stage. # 5.6.3. Latency We will reduce latency further by upgrading hardware components and switching to better VPS services, as soon as they are available # 5.7. Stage 3: Arbitrage Chain Trading Until now, the arbitrage system relied on the immediate availability of a profitable trade in just one step. Price spreads for trading pairs were monitored, along with other relevant parameters such as bid/ask spreads, volume, order books and expected slippage. Until now, the arbitrage system relied on the immediate availability of a profitable trade in just one step. Price spreads for trading pairs were monitored, along with other relevant parameters such as bid/ask spreads, volume, order books and expected slippage.
Our algorithm treats arbitrage as a mathematical problem, where possible solutions exist in a so-called solution room. The visualization above shows a simple two- dimensional representation of the Bitcoin/US-Dollar price spread. By selling BTC on Bitstamp, and buying the same amount on Bitfinex, we could theoretically increase the US Dollar value of our BTC holdings by 0.31%. Practically, however, more things need to be taken into account: • What is the spread between ask- and bid-orders on each exchange? • What is the trading volume on each exchange? • Which fees do the exchanges take? • How much funds are currently available? • What does the order book look like? What is the expected slippage for my order size? Future Gold Arbitrage’s algorithm is aware of all these constantly changing parameters. Data is continuously retrieved through exchange APIs, gets sent through normalization, and finally gets assigned its place in a multi-dimensional solution room The main innovation of stage 3 - Arbitrage Chain Trading - is possible by adding another dimension to the equation: time itself. Instead of just focusing on the current status of the market in the present moment, probabilistic predictions for the future get introduced. Due to the difficult nature of such an undertaking, the time-frame of these predictions are limited to a couple of seconds into the future. However, a few seconds is enough time to conduct a series of arbitrage trades, where the output of one trade becomes the input of the next one. The routes for possible arbitrage opportunities are exponentially increased, and there is huge potential to optimize for profitability by adding computing power to the system. More computing power means that more data can be arranged in a larger multi- dimensional solution room, and also that the time horizon of possible trade chains is increased. The Future Gold wallet will be upgraded with a feature, which enables anyone to contribute computing power and get rewarded with Future Gold coins. This creates a self-regulating ecosystem, where computing power gets added as long as it leads to increased arbitrage profits. This is where the decentralizing aspect of Future Gold Arbitrage’s arbitrage revolution starts to unfold. # 5.7.1. System Architecture The core infrastructure of Future Gold Arbitrage still remains in use, and acts as the solid backbone of the system. The domain of order execution is still under central control, which means that in order to invest in arbitrage, it is still necessary to join one of Future Gold Arbitrage’s trading pools. New is the circumstance that market data gets retrieved and processed in a decentralized way. The system is extended by a P2P-network of computing nodes, which at the same time might act as staking nodes in the Future Gold blockchain. # 5.7.2. Routing Market data gets routed from Future Gold Arbitrage computing nodes specialized in retrieval to ones that are specialized in processing. From there, normalized data along with predictions enters the established arbitrage algorithm in our private cloud, where the decision-making happens. The order-executing core of Future Gold Arbitrage is not changed. # 5.7.3. Latency Latency will be further reduced by allowing nodes, which might have even lower latency than our VPS services, to contribute to the system. Since now there is an ecofinomic incentive to create such nodes, the system is able to keep latency at a low level in a self-regulatory way. # 5.8 Stage 4: Fully Decentralized Arbitrage Trading In this final stage, we will render the centralized arbitrage trading platform we provided up until this point obsolete. Of course, the Future Gold Arbitrage trading platform will not shut down, but we will allow - and even encourage! - other arbitrage trading platforms to emerge on top of the decentralized infrastructure that we have created. The new version of the Future Gold wallet will then have the capability to let users enter their personal API exchange credentials, so that they can execute orders using their own exchange accounts. Also, users have control over the algorithm they run. A community-driven marketplace for trading strategies will lead to a fruitful competition between arbitrageurs, which in the end optimizes for profitability and thus enriches all communities around the Future Gold blockchain. Users may form their own trading pools with each other. Different pools will compete for different types of investors. At this point, full decentralization has been reached. From now on the system runs sustainably on its own in a self-regulatory way, stabilizing the whole cryptocurrency market and offering attractive investment opportunities to everybody. # 5.8.1 System Architecture The whole system consists of Future Gold nodes (any machine running the Future Gold wallet), which may use their own ways of connecting with exchanges. It is a fully distributed P2P network. # 5.8.2 Routing Only P2P routing algorithms play a role here. Routing in this stage can be compared to BitTorrent. Messages are propagated from one node to the next and self-healing algorithms make sure that paths are not blocked. # 5.8.3 Latency Latency may vary, depending on the actual nodes that are online. However, due to the Future Gold rewards for computing nodes, there is a strong incentive to run nodes with low latency. # 6. Conclusion The Whitepaper of the Future Gold Arbitrage Team gives a general overview about the current market situation, future predictions and their inefficiencies. In order to overcome these issues and establish the cryptomarket as more mature, certain problems have to be solved: lowering volatility, stabilizing market prices and increasing liquidity. All these problems were taken into consideration by developing the Future Gold Arbitrage Platform, which serves as a technical solution. Furthermore, it aims to involve retail investors into the automated arbitrage trading system, where invested money is aggregated and traded with a specialized algorithm to outweigh the inefficiencies of the market and additionally benefit from generated gains. Future Gold Arbitrage is already taking advantage of arbitrage opportunities with the working prototype. After reaching the soft cap early investors will have access to this prototype via the Future Gold Arbitrage Platform and can already benefit from our services before the end of the ICO. The goal of Future Gold Arbitrage is to give retail investors the possibility to invest in risk-free arbitrage trading by using specialized infrastructure with automated arbitrage software. Consequently, the increase of liquidity on major exchanges will help to stabilize the market and adapt crypto to the real world. # Task Center # How to get a task ## **How to get a task** Binance tasks are challenges and criteria that a user can meet to gain some kind of reward.
