2. QUASA Overview

QUASA is a company-operated digital ecosystem that brings together:

1. QUASA Media — a media resource covering technology, artificial intelligence, Web3, finance, business, the creator economy, and the future of work;

2. QUASA Projects — a catalogue and promotion system for digital products and services;

3. QUASA Rewards — a system that rewards Users for specified actions and for engaging with digital products;

4. Quasa Connect — a marketplace and communications platform for Clients and Pros; and

5. QUA — an ERC-20 crypto-asset used in selected ecosystem functions.

The actual QUASA model is hybrid rather than fully decentralised. Content, User accounts, moderation, ranking, advertising campaigns, and some internal balances are managed through QUASA infrastructure. A public blockchain is used for QUA transactions and certain payment or escrow functions where those functions are available. QUASA Terms of Use

The central concept of the ecosystem is to connect several types of User activity:

Discover a technology → explore a Project → complete a useful action → receive a reward → find or commission work → use or withdraw QUA.

This sequence represents the QUASA product model. It is not a guarantee that every User will use every component of the ecosystem.

3. Project Operator

The Platform is operated by:

These details correspond to the published QUASA Terms of Use.

Quasa International GmbH operates the ecosystem, establishes product and editorial rules, enters into agreements with Users and Business Users, and determines how QUA may be used within the Platform.

4. The Problem QUASA Addresses

4.1. Fragmentation of Digital Products

New products in artificial intelligence, Web3, financial technology, and the creator economy appear across numerous independent platforms.

Users often have to search separately for:

• product information;
• reviews and guides;
• the official website;
• practical use cases;
• User feedback;
• access methods;
• rewards for testing; and
• professionals capable of working with the relevant technology.

QUASA combines media content, a product catalogue, and a reward system in a single User environment.

4.2. Audience Discovery for New Projects

Digital products compete for attention through search advertising, social networks, publications, catalogues, and affiliate programmes.

Advertisers may find it difficult to assess in advance:

• audience quality;
• relevance of placement;
• authenticity of interactions;
• the proportion of automated traffic;
• the cost of a useful action; and
• the probability of commercial conversion.

QUASA offers a combination of search-driven media traffic, publications, the Projects catalogue, PPC mechanics, and Rewards. QUASA does not guarantee sales, registrations, investment, revenue, or return on advertising expenditure. Advertising on QUASA

4.3. Fragmentation of Digital Work

Clients and Pros face differences in:

• payment infrastructure;
• currencies;
• fees;
• platform rules;
• national regulation;
• access to international services;
• evidence of completed work; and
• dispute resolution.

The World Bank estimates that there may be between 154 million and 435 million online gig workers worldwide, representing approximately 4.4% to 12.5% of the global workforce. The World Bank has also reported that the average cost of a small international remittance was 6.36% of the amount sent. These figures illustrate the scale of digital work and continuing cross-border costs; they are not a direct estimate of the QUASA addressable market. World Bank — Working Without Borders

4.4. Limitations of Existing Solutions

QUASA proceeds from the principle that neither a traditional platform nor blockchain technology alone eliminates every problem.

Blockchain can:

• confirm that a transaction occurred;
• record addresses and amounts;
• execute a pre-programmed smart contract; and
• reduce dependence on certain payment intermediaries.

However, blockchain alone cannot guarantee:

• the quality of a completed service;
• the identity or qualifications of a Pro;
• the absence of fraud;
• the accuracy of input data;
• the absence of smart-contract errors; or
• fair resolution of every dispute.

QUASA therefore treats blockchain as one component of its infrastructure rather than a universal replacement for moderation, contractual rules, User verification, and support. The limitations of blockchain escrow are expressly reflected in the QUASA Terms of Use.

5. Mission and Principles

5.1. Mission

QUASA's mission is to create an accessible international digital environment in which Users can:

• discover new technologies;
• obtain clear information;
• explore digital products;
• receive rewards for specified actions;
• find Clients and Pros; and
• make permitted payments using digital assets.

5.2. Core Principles

Practical Utility

QUA is used in clear User scenarios rather than solely as an object of market trading.

Transparency

Paid publications, promoted Projects, rewards, and ranking factors are clearly identified.

Verifiability

QUA transactions, reserve addresses, and operations that remove tokens from circulation are available for independent verification where technically and legally possible.

No Unsubstantiated Promises

QUASA does not guarantee:

• an increase in the price of QUA;
• User income;
• a specified level of advertising traffic;
• commercial conversion;
• the absence of risk; or
• the result of a Pro's work.

User Protection

The product model includes:

• acceptable-use rules;
• fraud prevention;
• Personal Data protection;
• explanations of decisions;
• complaint procedures; and
• the ability to delete an account and manage consent.

Alignment with the Actual Architecture

QUASA does not describe the service as fully decentralised because material functions are controlled by the company or its providers.

6. Products and Current Status

QUASA Media, Rewards, and Projects are presented as separate operating sections of the website. According to Google Play, Quasa Connect had more than 10,000 downloads on the review date. The latest stated App update was dated August 23, 2026. The developer describes the current release as a major demo update; the actual availability of individual functions depends on the App version and supported scenario. The Site and App use separate account systems. QUASA Rewards · Quasa Connect on Google Play

7. QUASA Media

7.1. Purpose

QUASA Media is the informational and editorial layer of the ecosystem.

Its subject areas include:

QUASA states that collective editorial content is reviewed before publication with regard to sources, factual claims, consistency between the headline and the content, links, and the currency of the information. QUASA Team

7.3. Commercial Content

QUASA Media provides advertising formats that include:

• publication of an article supplied by a brand;
• preparation of a partner article;
• sponsored integration into an existing article;
• banner placement;
• placement in an email newsletter;
• distribution through social networks and Telegram; and
• combined advertising packages.

Sponsored and advertising content is labelled so that a User can distinguish it from independent editorial content. Advertising on QUASA

7.4. Limitations

Publication of content about a company or product does not automatically mean:

• a partnership with QUASA;
• endorsement of the product;
• technical verification;
• an investment recommendation;
• a guarantee of security; or
• a guarantee of commercial results.

8. QUASA Projects

8.1. Purpose

QUASA Projects is a catalogue of digital products, websites, applications, companies, and services.

An Advertiser may:

• submit a Project for review;
• create a Project page;
• select an available plan;
• fund a PPC campaign;
• set a bid for a qualifying click or action;
• access available analytics; and
• use additional advertising formats.

8.2. Project Review

QUASA may review a Project for:

• relevance to the audience;
• quality of the description;
• functionality of the destination website;
• security;
• malicious functionality;
• accuracy of claims;
• rights to submitted materials;
• required advertising labelling; and
• compliance with applicable law and QUASA rules.

Project review is not legal, financial, or investment due diligence and does not constitute QUASA endorsement.

8.3. Paid Ranking

The Advertiser's bid is a material commercial ranking factor. A higher bid will generally improve a Project's position relative to Projects with lower bids.

Position may also be affected by:

• available budget;
• search-query relevance;
• category;
• language and location;
• completeness of the description;
• destination-page quality;
• recency;
• engagement;
• anti-fraud signals;
• safety;
• compliance with rules; and
• technical availability.

Legal, safety, and fraud-prevention requirements may override the bid. QUASA Terms of Use

8.4. No Traffic Guarantee

Any projected number of:

• clicks;
• impressions;
• views;
• registrations;
• actions; or
• conversions

is an estimate unless a specific guaranteed result is expressly stated in a separate signed advertising order.

QUASA does not guarantee sales, investment, revenue, or return on advertising expenditure. QUASA Terms of Use

8.5. Permanent Placement

The expressions “permanent placement” or “no expiry date” mean that no predetermined standard publication end date applies.

They do not mean that:

• publication is irrevocable;
• QUASA must operate the Platform indefinitely;
• the Project can never be removed;
• the Project's position is guaranteed; or
• the Project is exempt from future rules or legal requirements.

9. QUASA Rewards

9.1. Purpose

QUASA Rewards allows Users to receive QUA or another stated reward for completing specified actions.

Such actions may include:

• viewing a Project page;
• visiting a website;
• testing a product;
• viewing content;
• registering;
• completing a task; or
• another action stated in the relevant offer.

On its public Rewards page, QUASA reports more than 400 AI and Web3 tools, more than 120,000 active participants, more than 1.2 million QUA paid, and more than 400 featured brands. These are internal QUASA metrics; their methodology and independent audit are not publicly available. QUASA Rewards

9.2. Reward Lifecycle

A reward may pass through several stages:

1. an offer is displayed to the User;

2. the User starts the action;

3. the Platform or partner records the action;

4. the action undergoes technical or anti-fraud verification;

5. the reward is displayed as provisional or confirmed;

6. the confirmed reward becomes available for use or withdrawal; and

7. a blockchain-network fee and a disclosed QUASA fee may apply on withdrawal.

The display of an amount on an internal balance does not necessarily mean that a blockchain transfer has already occurred.

9.3. Verification and Anti-Fraud Controls

The following do not qualify:

• bot activity;
• click-farm activity;
• repeat completion through multiple accounts;
• manipulation of device identifiers;
• artificial registrations;
• prohibited self-referrals;
• actions that do not satisfy the offer conditions;
• actions cancelled or rejected by a partner; or
• attempts to receive a reward without actual completion.

No anti-fraud system can guarantee the complete elimination of automated or bad-faith traffic.

9.4. No Earnings Guarantee

QUASA Rewards does not create:

• an employment relationship;
• a right to minimum income;
• a guarantee of a continuing volume of tasks;
• a guarantee of reward amounts;
• a guarantee of liquidity for received QUA; or
• a guaranteed withdrawal period.

10. Quasa Connect

10.1. Purpose

Quasa Connect is a marketplace and communications platform that allows:

• Clients to publish tasks;
• Pros to create professional profiles;
• Pros to submit offers;
• the parties to agree a price, deadline, and deliverable;
• Users to exchange messages;
• Users to use ratings and reviews; and
• Users to use available payment or escrow functions.

The App is publicly presented on Google Play as a Web3 service for freelance and remote work. Quasa Connect on Google Play

10.2. QUASA's Role

Unless a separate written agreement expressly states otherwise:

• QUASA does not perform the services offered by Pros;
• QUASA is not a party to the contract between a Client and a Pro;
• QUASA is not the Pro's employer;
• QUASA is not an agent of either party;
• QUASA does not guarantee that a transaction will be agreed or completed; and
• QUASA does not guarantee service quality.

The service contract is formed directly between the Client and the Pro. QUASA Terms of Use

10.3. Pro Status

A Pro must state whether the Pro acts:

• as a trader or professional service provider; or
• as a private individual not acting in the course of business.

Different rules may apply depending on that status, including rules on:

• consumer protection;
• licensing;
• taxation;
• invoicing;
• insurance; and
• professional liability.

10.4. Site and App Accounts

As of the date of this document, the QUASA Site account and the Quasa Connect App account are maintained as separate accounts. Creating or deleting one account does not automatically create or delete the other. This is reflected in the updated Terms of Use and confirmed by the developer's public response on Google Play. QUASA Terms of Use · Quasa Connect on Google Play

10.5. Payments and Escrow

Where the relevant function is available, the following information will be shown to the User before confirmation:

• the amount;
• the asset used;
• the QUASA fee;
• the network fee;
• holding conditions;
• release conditions;
• cancellation terms;
• refund terms; and
• the dispute-resolution process.

Blockchain escrow may reduce certain transaction risks, but it does not guarantee the quality of the result and does not eliminate fraud, smart-contract errors, wallet compromise, network failures, or legal restrictions. QUASA Terms of Use

11. Interaction Between Ecosystem Components

The ecosystem does not require every User to complete every stage listed above.

12. Technology Architecture

12.1. Hybrid Model

QUASA combines:

1. centralised product infrastructure;

2. third-party technology providers; and

3. the public Ethereum blockchain infrastructure.

12.2. Off-Chain Layer

The off-chain layer may include:

• the website and mobile App;
• accounts;
• the editorial system;
• the Projects catalogue;
• the Rewards system;
• internal balances;
• messages;
• ratings;
• search;
• ranking;
• anti-fraud systems;
• moderation;
• support; and
• advertising analytics.

These data do not become public blockchain records merely because the relevant service is connected with QUA.

12.3. Blockchain Layer

The blockchain layer may be used for:

• QUA transfers;
• transaction confirmation;
• interaction with the ERC-20 contract;
• connection of external wallets;
• smart-contract escrow, where active; and
• public verification of addresses, amounts, and transaction hashes.

12.4. Third-Party Infrastructure

QUASA may depend on:

• hosting and cloud infrastructure;
• content-delivery networks;
• app stores;
• email and push-notification services;
• external forms;
• payment providers;
• blockchain nodes;
• wallet-connectivity providers;
• blockchain explorers; and
• analytics and anti-fraud services.

A disruption affecting a third-party service may temporarily limit some QUASA functions.

12.5. Security

QUASA must apply proportionate technical and organisational measures, including:

• encryption in transit;
• access controls;
• secure authentication;
• monitoring;
• logging;
• backups;
• secure development;
• vulnerability management;
• incident response; and
• provider assessment.

No technical system can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

13. The QUA Crypto-Asset

13.1. Technical Identification

Users should verify the full contract address. A name or ticker alone is insufficient because a third party may create an unrelated token with a similar designation. Public explorer data confirms the contract address, the QUA designation, and 18 decimal places. QUA on Etherscan

13.2. Distinction Between On-Chain Total Supply and Economic Supply

Public contract data shows an on-chain totalSupply() of approximately 77,018,214,870.6492 QUA.

Approximately 76,897,661,652 QUA are held at 0x000000000000000000000000000000000000dEaD, which QUASA treats as the designated burn/dead address.

The difference is approximately 120,553,218.6492 QUA. In this document, that amount is referred to as the adjusted economic supply outside the designated burn/dead address.

This amount is neither the totalSupply() value returned by the smart contract nor the stated circulating supply. The stated circulating supply is disclosed separately.

The following figures must therefore be distinguished:

Approximately 99.84% of the totalSupply() value is held at the dead address. A transfer to such an address necessarily reduces the economically accessible or estimated supply. Accordingly, the figure of 120.55 million represents the adjusted economic supply outside the designated dead address. Designated dead address on Etherscan

13.3. Reported Distribution of Economic Supply

QUASA publicly reports the following distribution:

CoinMarketCap also displays 120.55 million QUA as total/max supply and 65.65 million QUA as self-reported circulating supply. These figures are based on information supplied by the project and do not replace an independent reconciliation of all addresses. QUASA on CoinMarketCap · QUASA supply publication

QUASA's public methodology includes approximately 20 million QUA described as lost or inaccessible within the circulating-supply figure.

For greater economic precision, reports separately show:

• tokens held at active personal addresses;
• tokens held at exchange addresses;
• tokens confirmed to be inaccessible;
• tokens held at dead addresses;
• company and team reserves;
• tokens associated with Rewards;
• tokens allocated to advertising campaigns; and
• the actually liquid supply.

13.4. Status of Issuance Restrictions

The published source code contains a mint function for additional issuance. It is available to the current contract owner while mintingFinished() is false. The practical ability to issue additional tokens depends on the current state of the deployed contract and control of the owner address.

Publicly available QUA token smart-contract code: GitHub — quasagroup/contracts

As of March 24, 2022, 12:18:49 PM UTC, at Ethereum block 14448921:

• totalSupply() was 77,018,214,870.6492;
• mintingFinished() was FALSE; and
• owner() returned 0x48299B98D25c700E8f8C4393B4EE49D525162513.

The owner address is controlled through SMART CONTRACT NAME - QuasacoinTokenCrowdsale. A detailed description of the control mechanism and authority is available at https://github.com/quasagroup/contracts..

Until minting is permanently finished at the contract level, QUASA does not characterise the QUA economic supply as a cryptographically immutable hard cap.

QUASA does not present 120,553,218 QUA as a cryptographically immutable hard cap. QUASA provides advance notice of decisions to terminate or retain the ability to conduct additional issuance.

13.5. Current Uses of QUA

Depending on actual feature availability, QUA may be used for:

• QUASA Rewards;
• Project review fees;
• funding PPC campaigns;
• advertising and promotional functions;
• settlement in Quasa Connect;
• Platform fees; and
• other expressly identified functions.

The existence of a potential use does not mean that it is active for every User, country, or product version. QUASA Terms of Use

13.6. Rights Not Provided by QUA

Holding QUA does not, by itself, provide:

• shares in Quasa International GmbH;
• an ownership interest in the company;
• rights to QUASA assets;
• creditor rights against the company;
• a right to dividends;
• a right to QUASA revenue;
• a right to redemption at a fixed value;
• a right to manage Quasa International GmbH; or
• a guaranteed voting right.

Any future governance system involving QUA must be governed by separate rules. QUASA Terms of Use

13.7. Market Value and Liquidity

QUASA does not guarantee:

• price appreciation;
• price stability;
• the existence of buyers;
• sufficient liquidity;
• any particular trading volume;
• availability on a specific exchange;
• continuation of any listing;
• conversion into fiat currency;
• acceptance of QUA by third-party services; or
• continuation of every use case.

Exchanges, wallets, bridges, liquidity pools, and decentralised protocols are independent third-party services. QUASA Terms of Use

13.8. Removal of Tokens from Circulation

QUASA states that, since the beginning of 2026, it has acquired and directed 9.2 million QUA for exclusion from economically accessible supply, including 247,554 QUA during July and August 2026.

Until a complete registry of transactions is published, these figures should be treated as QUASA-reported data rather than independently verified metrics.

Transaction-by-transaction registry with direct hash links for tokens described as burned:

• 0xd309a86791905e765731a4736ce5fb378235684f4898e6cb17cfa7236c8be49f

For each operation, QUASA publishes the date, QUA amount, sender address, recipient address, transaction hash, funding source, technical mechanism used, and the effect on on-chain and adjusted economic supply. QUASA supply publication

The term “burning” is used only with a precise description of the mechanism:

• a reduction in Total Circulating Supply through a contract function;
• a transfer to an address confirmed to be inaccessible;
• a transfer to an address that the project considers inaccessible; or
• locking in a separate smart contract.

These mechanisms have different technical and economic consequences.

13.9. Reserves

Reported team reserves represent approximately 45.54% of the adjusted economic supply outside the designated burn address. This concentration increases the risk that reserve holders may influence QUA supply, liquidity, and the market and therefore requires enhanced disclosure.

As of the date of this document, QUASA has published its primary reported reserve address. The public on-chain balance of the address can be independently verified.

The reserve-movement policy, complete description of the control mechanism, and independent reserve-reconciliation report are at the following stages:

• primary reported reserve address: published;
• control model: SMART CONTRACT, standard implementation of a Gnosis multisig wallet;
• public on-chain verifiability: available;
• independent reserve audit or attestation: no public report has been published; and
• reserve-movement policy: under development.

QUASA's target standard includes publication of all reserve addresses, segregation of authority, explanations of material movements, periodic reconciliation, and independent verification.

QUASA follows the recommended reserve-management standard:

• publication of all reserve addresses;
• use of a multi-signature wallet;
• internal segregation of authority;
• public explanation of each material movement;
• prohibition of undisclosed related-party transactions;
• periodic balance reconciliation;
• notice of material policy changes; and
• independent verification.

14. QUA Economic Model

14.1. Sources of Distribution

Users may receive QUA through:

• Rewards;
• promotional bonuses;
• referral programmes;
• payment for services;
• refunds; and
• other Platform operations.

Each source has separate conditions, including:

• eligibility criteria;
• reward amount;
• crediting status;
• withdrawal availability;
• restrictions;
• validity period; and
• cancellation rules in the event of fraud or error.

14.2. Use by Advertisers

An Advertiser may use QUA for:

• Project review fees;
• funding a PPC budget;
• User rewards;
• selected advertising functions; and
• applicable fees.

The applicable amount and conditions are determined by the current interface or a separate advertising order.

14.3. Use in Quasa Connect

QUA may be used for settlement between a Client and a Pro.

Before a transaction is confirmed, the following are disclosed:

• the amount;
• fees;
• the exchange rate or the method used to determine value;
• the blockchain network;
• the contract address;
• escrow conditions;
• the release process;
• the refund process;
• technical irreversibility; and
• the available dispute-resolution process.

14.4. No Automatic Link Between Use and Price

Use of QUA within the ecosystem may create transactional demand, but it does not guarantee:

• an increase in market price;
• higher trading volume;
• reduced volatility;
• greater liquidity; or
• the existence of a sustainable secondary market.

The market price is determined by independent market participants and external conditions that QUASA does not control.

14.5. Principles for Future Tokenomics

Until a formal issuance policy has been approved, legally reviewed, and published, QUASA will not initiate additional issuance of QUA.

Any potential decision to change supply must disclose in advance:

1. the legal basis;

2. the technical mechanism;

3. the maximum quantity;

4. the specific product purpose;

5. the decision-making body and process;

6. recipient addresses;

7. the timing and conditions of issuance;

8. the effect on supply metrics;

9. the conflict-of-interest management process; and

10. the results of subsequent on-chain reconciliation.

The market price of QUA, by itself, is not a basis for additional issuance, locking, unlocking, or removal of tokens from supply.

15. QUASA Business Model

15.1. Publicly Presented Sources of Monetisation

QUASA Media publicly offers sponsored articles, partner materials, advertising integrations, banners, newsletters, and social distribution. Projects offers free and paid review options and PPC budgets denominated in QUA. Advertising on QUASA

15.2. Revenue-Recognition Principles

Revenue should be recognised only on the basis of a service actually provided and in accordance with applicable accounting rules.

Receipt of QUA is not always equivalent to revenue:

• some QUA may constitute a campaign deposit;
• some may be allocated to rewards;
• some may be temporarily held;
• some may be refundable;
• some may belong to another User; and
• the market value of QUA may change.

15.3. No Financial Projections

This White Paper does not contain projections of:

• revenue;
• net profit;
• User growth;
• company value;
• QUA value;
• transaction volume; or
• market share.

Such projections are published only in a separate document containing:

• a methodology;
• assumptions;
• scenario analysis;
• an evidence base;
• a date;
• a responsible person; and
• a warning regarding uncertainty.

16. Public Project Metrics

16.1. Metric Snapshot as of the Document Date

The figures of 400,000 Users, 9 million monthly page views, and 3 million monthly unique visitors are published on the About page. The figures of 22 million search impressions, 91,000 clicks, and a 69% mobile share relate to the period from May 17 to August 14, 2026 and are reported on the basis of QUASA's internal Google Search Console data. About QUASA

Rewards metrics are published directly by QUASA. Download and App-update information is an external Google Play metric. QUASA Rewards · Quasa Connect on Google Play

16.2. Limitations of the Metrics

The metrics listed above must not be added together.

The following units of measurement are distinct:

• a registered User;
• a visitor;
• a unique visitor;
• an active Rewards participant;
• a Site account;
• an App account;
• an App download;
• a search-engine impression;
• a click;
• a page view; and
• a QUA recipient.

These figures should be treated as separate internal snapshots rather than a single verified KPI. About QUASA

16.3. Future Reporting Standard

For every public metric, QUASA will disclose:

• the precise definition;
• the source;
• the reporting period;
• the time zone;
• the method used to exclude bots;
• how User uniqueness is determined;
• the domains and applications covered;
• whether the metric is internal or external;
• whether it has been audited; and
• the date of the most recent update.

17. Ranking, Recommendations, and Traffic Quality

Paid placement is identified separately.

17.2. Projects

Project ranking may be affected by:

• the bid;
• budget;
• relevance;

• technical availability.

Payment may materially influence placement and must be disclosed to the User.

17.3. Rewards

• country;
• language;
• interests;
• device;
• eligibility;
• previous completion;

• duplicate accounts;
• artificial clicks;
• rating manipulation;
• fabricated reviews;
• suspicious payments;
• wallets exhibiting unusual activity;
• fraudulent tasks; and
• malicious websites.

An automated signal should be treated as a basis for review, not as infallible proof of a violation.

18. Governance, Team, and Decision-Making

18.1. Corporate Governance

QUASA is operated by Quasa International GmbH.

Decisions concerning:

• product strategy;
• development;
• advertising policy;
• moderation;
• pricing;
• use of reserves;
• supported QUA functions;
• partnerships; and
• legal compliance

are made by the company and persons authorised by it.

QUA does not provide its holder with a corporate voting right merely because the holder owns the token.

18.2. Publicly Presented Team

The QUASA team page lists:

This list reflects the project's public team page and is not necessarily a complete list of the company's employees, contractors, or advisers. QUASA Team

18.3. Potential QUA-Based Governance Participation

Future voting mechanisms involving QUA holders may be considered only after the following have been defined:

• the subject matter of a vote;
• the legal effect of the result;
• participation criteria;
• safeguards against concentration;
• conflicts of interest;
• delegation rules;
• quorum requirements;
• the technical mechanism; and
• the process for implementing a decision.

Until separate rules are published, QUASA does not characterise QUA as an active corporate governance token.

19. Privacy and Data Protection

19.1. Governing Documents

Data Processing is governed by:

• the Terms of Use;
• the Privacy Policy;
• the Cookies and Similar Technologies Policy;
• notices relating to individual functions;
• consent settings; and
• the terms of third-party services.

19.2. Main Categories of Data

Depending on the function, QUASA may process:

• account information;
• contact information;
• profile data;
• tasks and offers;
• messages;
• Rewards information;
• advertising-campaign data;
• transaction information;
• public wallet addresses;
• technical logs;
• security information; and
• information required for legal verification.

19.3. Public Blockchain

Information recorded on Ethereum may be:

• publicly accessible;
• replicated by independent nodes;
• indexed by explorers;
• available without a fixed time limit; and
• technically impossible for QUASA to delete.

Deleting an account does not delete a confirmed public blockchain transaction. QUASA Terms of Use

19.4. User Control

A User should be able to:

• obtain information about Processing;
• correct data;
• request deletion;
• restrict Processing;
• object to marketing;
• manage optional cookies;
• disable device permissions;
• submit a complaint; and
• appeal certain decisions.

19.5. No Absolute Anonymity

Use of a public wallet address does not guarantee anonymity.

An address may be associated with:

• an account;
• transaction history;
• an external exchange;
• another public address;
• information supplied by the User; or
• the result of a lawful verification process.

20. Legal and Regulatory Compliance

20.1. General Approach

QUASA seeks to structure its operations with due regard to applicable:

• German contract law;
• EU consumer-protection law;
• the GDPR;
• laws governing cookies and terminal equipment;
• the Digital Services Act;
• online-intermediation rules;
• advertising law;
• crypto-asset law;
• sanctions and financial restrictions; and
• tax and accounting requirements.

This statement does not constitute a representation that QUASA holds every possible financial authorisation.

20.2. MiCA and Crypto-Asset Services

QUASA conducts a legal and technical assessment of each function connected with QUA, taking into account actual control over assets, keys, transfers, internal balances, escrow, and third-party providers.

This document does not state that every QUASA function falls outside MiCA or that authorisation is necessarily not required.

A function that qualifies as a regulated crypto-asset service is made available to Users in the EEA only where:

• Quasa International GmbH holds the required authorisation;
• the function is provided by a duly authorised partner;
• a confirmed statutory exemption applies; or
• a documented legal assessment concludes that the function does not fall within the regulated category.

Until such an assessment is complete, the description of a function in this White Paper does not mean that the function is available to Users in the EEA.

MiCA establishes uniform EU rules on transparency, disclosure, public offers of crypto-assets, and providers of related services. ESMA — Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation

20.3. User Verification

QUASA may request information for:

• age verification;
• identity verification;
• verification of company status;
• verification of professional status;
• confirmation of eligibility to conduct a regulated activity;
• wallet verification;
• sanctions screening;
• fraud prevention; and
• mandatory KYC, where applicable.

Verification is not a guarantee of a User's professional competence or good faith.

20.4. Distinction Between Current and Future Functions

A function is considered available only where:

• it is actually present in the interface;
• the User has received the applicable terms;
• fees have been disclosed;
• risks have been disclosed;
• the required cancellation or appeal process is available; and
• applicable legal requirements have been satisfied.

Description of a potential function in this White Paper does not mean that the function has been launched.

21. Key Risks

Risks associated with QUA, external exchanges, wallets, blockchain networks, and smart contracts are also addressed in the QUASA Terms of Use.

22. Roadmap

This roadmap expresses target directions and does not establish guaranteed deadlines.

Stage 1. Transparency Foundations

Key tasks:

• technical verification of the QUA contract;
• publication of the product-metrics methodology;
• implementation of an up-to-date list of data providers;
• implementation of working Cookie Settings; and
• completion of account-deletion, complaint, and appeal mechanisms.

Completion criterion: key token, User, and legal information is available for independent verification.

Stage 2. Product Alignment

Key tasks:

• alignment of Site and App accounts;
• a unified explanation of internal QUA balances;
• standardisation of Rewards and withdrawal history;
• synchronisation of notifications;
• resolution of inconsistencies between the Media, Projects, Rewards, and Connect pages; and
• consistent terminology across all language versions.

Completion criterion: a User receives the same explanation of a function regardless of the interface used.

Stage 3. Trust in Quasa Connect

Key tasks:

• trader/non-trader status;
• verification of professional information;
• definition of the meaning of a Verified label;
• separate escrow terms;
• disclosure of smart contracts;
• a process for submitting evidence;
• human review of relevant disputes; and
• metrics on completion, cancellation, and complaints.

Completion criterion: transaction rules and the parties' responsibilities are clear before a transaction is concluded.

Stage 4. Ecosystem Scaling

Potential directions:

• partner APIs;
• expansion of the catalogue;
• new language and regional versions;
• improved matching systems;
• additional permitted payment methods;
• integration with external wallets;
• enhanced analytics; and
• new QUA use cases.

Every new function should be launched only after technical, legal, and product review.

Stage 5. Potential Community-Participation Mechanisms

Following development of a separate legal and technical model, QUASA may consider:

• QUA-holder surveys;
• consultative voting;
• community proposals;
• delegation; and
• transparent financing of selected initiatives.

Such functions should not be described as corporate governance without a separate legal basis.

23. QUASA Transparency Standard

To strengthen trust, QUASA should publish dated reports containing, where applicable:

23.1. Product Metrics

• registered Site accounts;
• registered App accounts;
• active Users;
• unique visitors;
• page views;
• active Rewards participants;
• completed and rejected actions;
• active Projects;
• advertising clicks;
• invalid-traffic rate;
• published tasks;
• completed tasks; and
• cancellations and disputes.

23.2. QUA Metrics

• on-chain totalSupply();
• the balance of each dead address;
• supply outside dead addresses;
• reserve addresses;
• Rewards addresses;
• reported circulating supply;
• estimated liquid supply;
• reserve movements;
• buyback transactions;
• removal-from-circulation transactions; and
• the hashes of relevant transactions.

23.3. Methodology

Every report should contain:

• the date;
• the reporting period;
• the source;
• the definition of each metric;
• the products covered;
• the method used to exclude invalid activity;
• whether the data has been independently verified; and
• any methodology change from the previous period.

23.4. Material Events

QUASA should disclose material events, including:

• a change to the contract or token model;
• new issuance;
• a material reserve movement;
• a significant security incident;
• suspension of an important function;
• a change of operator;
• a material change in legal status;
• obtaining or losing an authorisation; and
• discontinuation of support for a network or wallet.

24. Project Development Criteria

QUASA's success should not be assessed solely by the price of QUA.

More sustainable indicators include:

25. Conclusion

QUASA combines existing components:

• multilingual technology media;
• search-based product discovery;
• the Projects catalogue;
• a PPC advertising model;
• the Rewards system;
• the Quasa Connect marketplace; and
• the QUA crypto-asset.

The value of the model lies not in a promise of automatic token-price growth, but in the ability to connect informational, advertising, User, and work-related scenarios within one ecosystem.

QUASA does not claim that blockchain solves every problem in digital work.

A functioning ecosystem requires all of the following:

• a high-quality product;
• clear agreements;
• transparent tokenomics;
• data protection;
• fraud prevention;
• moderation;
• verification;
• dispute resolution;
• responsible reserve management; and
• compliance with applicable law.

QUASA's long-term sustainability will be determined not by forecasts, but by measurable product use, audience quality, transaction security, reserve transparency, fulfilment of obligations to Users, and the project's ability to adapt to legal regulation.
