1. Introduction

This document relates to a TokenBridge jointly offered by POA Networks, Ltd. and Block Notary, Inc. (collectively, “we” or “us” or – for the possessive – “our”). Our TokenBridge includes a decentralized mechanism that provides a method for (i) converting POA native tokens, a form of cryptocurrency maintained on the POA Ledger, into POA20 tokens, a different form of cryptocurrency maintained on the POA20 ledger and (ii) converting POA20 tokens into POA native tokens. This process is referred to herein as “converting cryptocurrency.”

Our TokenBridge includes (i) the mechanism for converting cryptocurrency, (ii) user interface software, and (iii) accompanying support documentation. When this document uses the term “our TokenBridge,” it includes all three of these components, unless otherwise specified.
