# LAYERK Ecosystem LAYERK is a tech company focused on hardware and software innovations. Advanced computing and blockchain, empowers people to achieve independence | Join us ## LAYERK Ecosystem In a world where digital infrastructure is dominated by centralized giants, LayerK emerges as a beacon of decentralization and community empowerment. Built as a Layer 3 (L3) chain on top of Arbitrum One, LayerK is designed to revolutionize how value is generated and distributed in the blockchain ecosystem. Drawing inspiration from pioneers in the industry, LayerK transforms idle hardware into productive assets, enabling individuals and communities to participate in a global network that rewards contributions through real-world utility. At its core, LayerK is not just a blockchain—it's a protocol for building the Internet of People (IoP): a decentralized, privacy-first network where everyday devices become nodes in a shared economy. By leveraging user-owned hardware for services like VPN endpoints and storage, LayerK creates a sustainable model where value flows directly back to participants. This whitepaper explores how LayerK generates value, its innovative use cases, and how partners can harness this technology to add tangible utility to their tokens. Imagine a future where your home router isn't just a gateway to the internet—it's a source of income, contributing to a resilient global network while preserving your privacy and autonomy. LayerK makes this vision a reality, fostering an inclusive ecosystem where anyone can co-own the digital infrastructure of tomorrow. \ **Overview of LayerK Ecosystem** LayerK's L3 architecture settles on Arbitrum One, inheriting Ethereum's security while delivering high-speed, low-cost transactions tailored for real-world applications. This setup allows LayerK to focus on utility-driven value creation, where the network's native token, LYK, powers a cycle of staking, hardware contribution, and reward distribution. The ecosystem operates on a simple yet powerful principle: participants acquire LYK tokens, stake them on integrated platforms, deploy hardware nodes, and earn rewards from network jobs. These jobs—primarily VPN services and storage today—generate revenue that is funneled back into the ecosystem via staking smart contracts. Rewards are distributed pro-rata based on staked amounts, with plans to incorporate device performance metrics for even fairer allocation. This model democratizes infrastructure, turning underutilized devices into yield-bearing assets. Unlike traditional centralized networks, LayerK ensures that value is captured and redistributed at the edge, empowering users rather than intermediaries. Partners can build on this foundation, creating DeFi platforms, hardware solutions, or service integrations that leverage LayerK to enhance their own token utilities.

# Vision and Mission Discover LAYERK’s vision and mission in our White Paper. Explore our aspirations for a new technological era | Join LayerK and LYK token ecosystem and find out more about Minting ## Vision and Mission {% hint style="info" %} ### Vision LayerK envisions a decentralized digital world where infrastructure is owned by the people who use it. \ We call this the Internet of People—a network where connectivity, compute, and storage are community-driven, economically rewarding, and inherently private. In this future, billions of devices worldwide form a resilient mesh, rivaling the scale of today's hyperscalers but with value accruing to individuals and local operators. By bridging blockchain with physical hardware, LayerK unlocks a new era of empowerment: rural communities bridging connectivity gaps, urban enthusiasts monetizing spare bandwidth, and entrepreneurs in emerging markets building sovereign networks. \ \ This isn't just technology—it's a movement toward a fairer internet. {% endhint %} {% hint style="info" %} ### Mission Our mission is to provide the tools and protocols for anyone to participate in and profit from decentralized infrastructure. LayerK enables users to stake tokens, deploy nodes, and earn from shared resources like bandwidth and storage. We prioritize compliance-by-design, modular privacy, and seamless interoperability, ensuring the network thrives across diverse jurisdictions. Inspired by resource-sharing models, LayerK extends this to edge devices, creating a protocol stack that partners can adopt to infuse utility into their ecosystems. Whether through VPN jobs or emerging compute tasks, LayerK drives real economic participation, making blockchain more than speculation—it's productive infrastructure. {% endhint %} # The Problem We Solve Today’s internet is fundamentally misaligned with the principles of decentralization, individual empowerment, and economic inclusivity. Despite being a global utility, the internet’s physical infrastructure i.e. bandwidth, storage, routing, and traffic management is concentrated in the hands of a few centralized entities. This creates multiple structural problems: #### 1. Value Capture is Centralized The economic rewards of internet usage and traffic flow are absorbed by telecom giants, hyperscalers, and platform monopolies. #### **2. Underutilized Infrastructure** Billions of connected devices sit idle or underused across homes, offices, and communities. These devices represent untapped bandwidth, compute, and storage capacity, which, if properly coordinated, could rival traditional ISPs and CDNs in coverage and scale. #### 3. Lack of Ownership and Participation Users have little to no control over the networks they depend on. There is no clear path for individuals to own, operate, or benefit from the physical layer of the internet, leaving them dependent on third-party providers who prioritize profit over accessibility, resilience, and fairness. #### 4. Compliance and Privacy Are at Odds In the current model, compliance is often enforced through surveillance, excessive data collection, and blanket regulations. This leads to privacy erosion and stifled innovation, especially in regions with fragmented regulatory environments. #### 5. Scaling Infrastructure is Capital-Intensive and Complicated Deploying and maintaining device computation based infrastructure is complicated, costly and resource-intensive. This limits connectivity in underserved regions and makes it difficult for smaller operators or communities to compete with incumbents. ### LayerK’s Solution LayerK solves these challenges by turning the computational devices into a decentralized, economically participatory network, where: * Value is Generated at the Edge: Users stake LYK on platforms, acquire hardware, and run nodes that handle jobs like VPN routing or data storage. * Rewards Flow Directly: Proceeds from partner-sourced jobs peg new tokens, distributed via smart contracts based on staking contributions. * Partners Extend Utility: Ecosystems like DeFi platforms can integrate LayerK to give their tokens real-world backing through hardware-backed services. This creates a flywheel: more nodes mean more capacity, attracting more jobs and partners, increasing token utility and network value.

# LAYERK Chain Discover the future of blockchain with the LAYERK Chain and its revolutionary features. Step into a new era of token trading. Find out What is LAYERK Chain and How does it work ### What is LayerK Chain? LayerK Chain is a next-generation, application-specific blockchain built to harness the power of decentralization with maximum performance. Designed as a Layer 3 (L3) chain on top of Arbitrum one, it delivers high-speed, secure, and scalable solutions tailored to specific use cases. ### How LayerK Works #### L3 Architecture LayerK Chain is built on Arbitrum One, operating as a Layer 3 chain that inherits Ethereum’s Proof-of-Stake (PoS) finality and Arbitrum's fraud-proof system. This design ensures rapid transaction processing while maintaining robust data integrity and trustlessness. #### LayerK - Arbitrum One - Ethereum Interaction **Transaction & Fee Flow** 1. **User sends transaction on LayerK (L3)** * Transactions are executed on LayerK. * Fee is paid in LYK * Transactions are rolled up into batches and sent to Arbitrum One (L2).
2. **Arbitrum One receives batch from LayerK (L3 → L2)** * Arbitrum processes and verifies the LayerK batch. * Arbitrum includes the L3 batch in its own state updates. * LayerK pays in arbETH to include its rolled-up data to be included in the Arbitrum as its settlement layer.
3. **Arbitrum One posts rollup data to Ethereum (L2 → L1)** * Arbitrum batches all recent txs (including from LayerK) and posts a rollup of calldata to Ethereum mainnet. * Fee is paid to Ethereum in ETH. **Example Flow Summary** Alice sends a tx on LayerK: 1. Tx executed on LayerK (fee in LayerK native token - $LYK). 2. LayerK rolls up txs periodically and submit them to Arbitrum (fee paid to Arbitrum in ETH). 3. Arbitrum batches LayerK data into its rollup and posts to Ethereum (fee in ETH).
#### Native Bridging A built-in, bi-directional bridge to the rootchain enables seamless asset and data transfers, allowing LayerK to leverage rootchain security while expanding throughput and scalability. #### EVM Compatibility LayerK is fully EVM-compatible, allowing developers to deploy existing Ethereum smart contracts and dApps without significant code changes. This ensures a smooth migration path and access to the broader Ethereum ecosystem. #### On-Chain Governance Governance is handled transparently through on-chain voting through LayerK DAO platform, enabling token holders and community members to propose, debate, and implement protocol upgrades or changes. ### Key Features * App-Specific Customization\ Designed for tailored use cases, optimizing functionality for industry/dApp-specific needs. * Seamless Interoperability\ Built-in bridge and Ethereum compatibility ensure smooth integration across networks. * Scalable Infrastructure\ Layer 3 design significantly improves scalability, supporting faster and cheaper transactions. * Decentralized Governance\ Community-led decision-making ensures transparent and inclusive protocol evolution. * Enhanced Security\ The architecture incorporates layered consensus and inherited fraud-proof mechanisms, offering a secure environment for assets and data. ### Upcoming Upgrade: LayerK + Pectra Features LayerK is preparing for a major protocol upgrade that incorporates several key innovations from Ethereum’s Pectra upgrade suite.

It is designed to facilitate community-driven decision-making through a transparent, secure, and on-chain protocol. By distributing governance rights to stakeholders, LayerK ensures that protocol development, treasury usage, and parameter adjustments are determined collectively, without reliance on centralized control. Governance is executed through stake-weighted voting, using a dedicated governance token called GLYK. Participation is exclusively available via the Homnifi platform, where users who stake LYK tokens become eligible to receive GLYK and engage in governance activities. ### Governance Token: GLYK The GLYK token is the native governance token of the LayerK DAO. It is distributed to users who stake LYK tokens on the Homnifi platform. GLYK plays a critical role in all voting and proposal-related functions within the DAO and is minted 1:1 based on LYK tokens staked on Homnifi. GLYK is issued to the MetaMask wallet connected to Homnifi. ### Governance Participation and Voting Mechanics #### 1. Proposal Creation Only users holding GLYK are permitted to create proposals. GLYK Contract: [0x79b0bc2340bbF53bb9E4F3c0a6c72ed69bc0F2a0](https://explorer.layerk.com/address/0x79b0bc2340bbF53bb9E4F3c0a6c72ed69bc0F2a0) #### 2. Voting Process Only GLYK holders are eligible to vote on proposals. After voting, the proposal is passed subject to meeting voting and quorum requirements. Voting and proposal activities are executed on-chain, ensuring full auditability, immutability, and transparency. #### 3. Decision-Making Framework The LayerK DAO oversees decisions in the following areas: * Treasury Management\ Allocation and distribution of LayerK treasury funds\
* Protocol-Level Governance\ Strategic upgrades, network improvements, and roadmap direction #### 4. Proposal Execution Once a proposal has passed, it is manually executed by a DAO admin through smart contract interaction. Upon execution, the contract updates the proposal’s status to “Executed.” Only after this status change do protocol actions such as treasury disbursements or parameter updates take effect. ### Community Involvement and Transparency The LayerK DAO is built to be inclusive, transparent, and verifiable: * **On-Chain Governance:** All proposals, votes, and results are stored on-chain and publicly accessible
* **Stake-Based Access:** Governance rights are tied to staked participation, reinforcing long-term alignment
* **Homnifi Integration:** The DAO is accessible through the Homnifi interface, where eligible users receive GLYK after staking LYK
* **Security & Ownership:** Users retain full control over their wallets and GLYK holdings, with no custodial intervention
This model ensures that LayerK’s future is governed by its active, invested community, rather than centralized entities. The LayerK DAO empowers the community to shape the protocol’s trajectory through a fair and secure governance system. Powered by the GLYK token and enforced via smart contracts, the DAO enables decentralized control over resources, decision-making, and network evolution—cementing LayerK’s commitment to open, transparent blockchain governance.
# What is the Internet of People? The Internet of People (IoP) is LayerK’s vision for a decentralized, community-powered computational infrastructure where individuals and not corporations are the foundational nodes of connectivity, compute, and control. LayerK coordinates this through protocols for job allocation, verification, and payment. Privacy-first design and modular compliance allow global participation without compromising sovereignty. ### Value Generation in the LayerK Network LayerK's unique value proposition lies in its hardware-integrated model: 1. Acquire and Stake LYK: Users buy or earn tokens and stake them on ecosystem platforms. 2. Deploy Hardware: Obtain devices from partners like Homnifi and connect them to the network. 3. Run Jobs: Nodes handle tasks like VPN endpoints or storage, sourced from LayerK's partners. 4. Mint and Distribute Rewards: Proceeds trigger smart contract distribution, rewarding stakers pro-rata (currently based on stake; evolving to include node performance). This cycle generates sustainable value, with the network's growth attracting more jobs and partners. ## Shared Resources in the IoP: Bandwidth, IP, Traffic, and Storage At the heart of the IoP vision is resource sharing; a system where participants can contribute underutilized infrastructure in exchange for rewards. LayerK coordinates this through decentralized mechanisms and secure protocols that track, validate, and compensate for real-world resource contributions. **a. Decentralized VPN Services** VPN is LayerK's flagship use case. Unlike centralized providers, LayerK's community-powered VPN uses user nodes for routing, offering: * Enhanced privacy through multi-hop paths. * Censorship resistance and global access. * Rewards for node operators. Partners can integrate this to provide secure connectivity, backed by LYK utility. **b. Bandwidth & Traffic Routing** Users can offer portions of their upstream/downstream bandwidth, especially during idle hours, to carry encrypted traffic for the network. c. Distributed Storage Edge devices with surplus disk space can contribute to a distributed storage layer for caching, file sharing, or application hosting. Storage contributors are rewarded based on availability, redundancy, and geographic value; creating a hyper-local, low-latency alternative to centralized cloud storage. **d. Compute** LayerK is building the capacity for lightweight edge compute participation; allowing devices to run verifiable workloads, support smart contract operations, or facilitate low-latency backend services at the edge. ### Being Future Ready LayerK’s vision; computational infrastructure that’s decentralized, privacy-first, and community-owned; opens up a range of exciting use cases. These can leverage the core LayerK idea across several emerging tech trends. Here are a few high-impact use cases: #### Wireless Mesh Internet Expansion * What: Users set up nodes to build ad hoc local mesh networks for broader internet access (urban, rural, festival, disaster scenarios). * Why it fits LayerK: LayerK can support open-access mesh, add identity/incentive layers, or create marketplaces for local bandwidth. #### Distributed Content Delivery Networks (CDNs) * What: Individuals cache and distribute popular web content (images, videos) closer to end-users, earning rewards for efficient delivery. * Why it fits LayerK: Taps idle home/office internet to compete with centralized CDNs which improves speed, saves bandwidth, and incentivizes individuals. #### IoT Device Marketplaces & Sensor Networks * What: Users deploy sensors (weather, pollution, traffic, agriculture, smart cities), share real-time data, and earn tokens by crowdsourcing the “data layer.” * Why it fits LayerK: Local autonomy, privacy, and economic return to sensor operators. # Our Differentiator in the VPN Landscape #### **Regular VPN Services** #### How Typical VPNs Work: * Centralized Servers: Most VPNs (like NordVPN, ExpressVPN, etc.) use a set of data centers controlled by the VPN company. When you connect, your traffic is routed through one of their servers. * Trust Model: You’re trusting the VPN provider not to log, sell, or otherwise misuse your data. * Payment & Onboarding: You subscribe with a credit card or other payment, often tied to your identity. * Jurisdiction/Risk: These centralized servers can be vulnerable to government requests, data breaches, or external hacks. * Business Model: Users pay monthly/annual fees; profits accrue to the company. \ **LayerK’s Community-Powered VPN** #### a. Decentralized Infrastructure * Community Nodes: Instead of relying on a handful of data centers, LayerK’s VPN leverages a mesh of user-operated devices * No Single Point of Failure: Shutting down a single server doesn’t disrupt the network. #### b. Privacy & Anonymity by Design * Improved Anonymity: Traffic paths could be randomized via multi-hop routing over several community nodes, making tracking much harder.
#### c. Economic Incentives * Earn While You Contribute: People who host or relay traffic are rewarded. This turns everyday users into infrastructure operators, think “Airbnb for secure connectivity.” * Lower Operating Costs: No need for vast data centers or corporate markup. #### d. Local Autonomy & Regulation * Flexible Compliance: Nodes can be configured based on local laws/regulations, but with strong defaults that always protect user privacy. * Community Governance: Participants can help steer the network (e.g., blocking bad actors, voting on upgrades). #### e. Accessibility * No Borders: A truly global network, accessible anywhere, that isn’t geographically limited to where a commercial VPN happens to have servers. * Payments: Potential for anonymous or private payment methods (e.g. crypto) that don’t require revealing your identity. # Partnering with LayerK LayerK is built for collaboration. Platforms like Homnifi exemplify this: as an early DeFi integrator, Homnifi allows staking, partners with hardware providers like Horysmall for node devices, and helps edecentralize the network. Other partners can follow suit—build staking platforms, source jobs, or manufacture hardware—to create utility for their tokens. By tapping LayerK's tech, they enable communities to generate value through real infrastructure. To get more details on LayerK Devices, click here:
# Device growth, workload mix, and Rewards profile * We begin with approximately 25,000 devices focused on VPN workloads, where per-active-device rewards are in the low-teens USD per month. * The fleet grows each quarter, and we introduce blockchain full nodes next year. Full nodes earn rewards in the “tens of USD” per active device per month (roughly 2-3× VPN). * By the end of next year, we target approximately 200,000 devices globally. As the full-node share increases, the blended per-device earnings trend from low-teens toward higher-teens. * Most devices are active monthly (internally modeled at 80–90%, subject to region, network, and scheduling). ### Quarterly roadmap and workload mix | Period | Devices | Workload Mix | Per active Device earning | | ------- | ------- | ------------------------------- | ------------------------- | | Q4 2025 | 25000 |

*** ### **NFT Reward Calculation: Steps and Methodology** #### **Step 1: Minting token Locking** To become eligible for rewards, a user needs to lock a specific amount of Minting token associated with their NFT. The details for this are as follows: * **Maximum Minting token**: An NFT holder can link minting token up to twice the Euro value of their NFT. Considering each NFT is priced at $100, the maximum amount ofMinting token that can be locked is $200. * **Minting Token**: The Minting token should be in the form of LYK tokens. * **Lock Duration**: Users have three options for the locking period - 12 months , 24 months and Max Upon locking, the system will record a value termed as **Base Lock Value (BLV)**. The BLV is equivalent to the **LYK Price at Market (PTM)** at the time theMinting token was locked. #### **Step 2: Daily Reward Percentage Calculation** The next step involves determining the daily reward percentage a user can retrieve. This percentage is derived from the properties of the NFT the user holds: **Maximum Retrievable Daily Reward %= Boost Value / Lifetime** ​ Here: * **Boost Value** is taken from the NFT's metadata. * **Lifetime** is the current lifetime of the NFT in days. This formula ensures that the reward percentage is directly influenced by the unique characteristics of each NFT and adjusts based on its generational decline. {% hint style="info" %} We are incorporating the current LYK price into the reward distribution for the respective software license. {% endhint %} ### **NFT Reward Qualification: Determining Disqualifications** #### **Step 3: Minting token Lock Duration Analysis** The duration for which a user locks their Minting token significantly impacts their rewards: * **12-Month Lock**: If a user has chosen to lock their Minting token for 12 months, then 60% of their total rewards are disqualified. This means that the user progresses to the next step with only 40% of the Maximum Retrievable Daily Reward Percentage. * **24-Month Lock**: For users who've locked their Minting token for a 24-month period, no disqualification occurs at this step. The user moves to the next stage with 100% of the Maximum Retrievable Daily Reward Percentage intact. * **Max Lock**: Same as 24-Month lock #### **Step 4: Price at Market (PTM) and Growth Level Price (GLP) Evaluation** This step involves analyzing two critical price points - the current Price at Market (PTM) and the Growth Level Price (GLP). The relationship between these two values determines the reward percentage: * **PTM > GLP:** If the PTM is greater than the GLP, the Maximum Retrievable Daily Reward Percentage is recalculated as:\ New Maximum Retrievable Daily Reward Percentage=Maximum Retrievable Daily Reward Percentage\*GLP/PTM In this scenario, the formula calculates the disqualified amount based on the PTM's growth over the GLP. * **PTM ≤ GLP:** If the PTM is less than or equal to the GLP, then the Maximum Retrievable Daily Reward Percentage remains unchanged, and the user progresses to the next step with this value. # CLOUDK Rewards Calculation Formula ### Software License Metadata: For our architecture, each Software License is associated with specific metadata that determines its properties: * Lifetime: This denotes the duration for which the Software License will be valid, measured in days. * Boost Value: A numerical representation, the boost value indicates the additional benefit or bonus that the Software License provides to its holder. ### Generational Decline The unique feature of our Software License architecture is that the inherent properties of these tokens, specifically their lifetime and boost value, decrease over time in a structured manner: * Lifetime Decline: Each Software License starts with an initial lifetime of 1080 days. However, every two weeks, this lifetime decreases by 7 days, leading to a decline in its overall duration. * Boost Value Decline: The boost value of the Software License also experiences a reduction. Beginning with a value of 7, the boost value will decrease by 0.1 every two weeks. ### First Generation Software License Promotion: A special promotion has been designed for early adopters. The first generation of Software Licenses will enjoy an enhanced boost value. Instead of the usual 7, these Software Licenses will have a boost value of 8. *** ## Software License Reward Calculation: Steps and Methodology ### Step 1: LYK Locking To become eligible for rewards, a user needs to lock a specific amount of tokens associated with their Software License. The details for this are as follows: * Maximum Tokens: An Software License holder can lock tokens up to twice the Euro value of their Software License. Considering each Software License is priced at €100, the maximum amount of tokens that can be locked is €200. * Token: The tokens should be in the form of LYK tokens. * Lock Duration: Users have 3 options for the locking period - either 12, 24 or Max months. Upon locking, the system will record a value termed as Base Lock Value (BLV). The BLV is equivalent to the LYK's Price at Market (PTM) at the time the tokens was locked. *** ### Step 2: Daily Reward Percentage Calculation The next step involves determining the daily reward percentage a user can retrieve. This percentage is derived from the properties of the Software License the user holds: Maximum Retrievable Daily Reward %= Boost ValueLifetime Here: * Boost Value is taken from the Software License's metadata. * Lifetime is the current lifetime of the Software License in days. This formula ensures that the reward percentage is directly influenced by the unique characteristics of each Software License and adjusts based on its generational decline. *** ## Software License Reward Qualification: Determining Disqualifications ### Step 3: Token Lock Duration Analysis The duration for which a user locks their tokens significantly impacts their rewards: * 12-Month Lock: If a user has chosen to lock their tokens for 12 months, then 60% of their total rewards are disqualified. This means that the user progresses to the next step with only 40% of the Maximum Retrievable Daily Reward Percentage. * 24-Month or Max Lock: For users who've locked their tokens for a 24-month period, no disqualification occurs at this step. The user moves to the next stage with 100% of the Maximum Retrievable Daily Reward Percentage intact. *** ### Step 4: Price at Market (PTM) and Growth Level Price (GLP) Evaluation This step involves analyzing two critical price points - the current Price at Market (PTM) and the Growth Level Price (GLP). The relationship between these two values determines the reward percentage: * PTM > GLP: If the PTM is greater than the GLP, the Maximum Retrievable Daily Reward Percentage is recalculated as:\ New Maximum Retrievable Daily Reward Percentage=Maximum Retrievable Daily Reward Percentage\*GLP In this scenario, the formula calculates the disqualified amount based on the PTM's growth over the GLP. * In cases where PTM is less than or equal to GLP, the disqualification percentage will now be computed as PTM/GLP. to refer this calculation check step 5. *** ### Step 5: Adjustment Based on PTM and GLP Relationship Upon comparing PTM and GLP: PTM > GLP: If the PTM exceeds GLP, the user advances to the subsequent step without any changes. PTM ≤ GLP: In cases where PTM is less than or equal to GLP, the disqualification percentage is computed as 1−PTM/GLP. Depending on the resultant value, the percentage of rewards to be disqualified is determined using the table below: | Decrese Price | Burn | | ------------- | ------ | | 10% | 0.00% | | 15% | 5.00% | | 20% | 10.00% | | 25% | 15.00% | | 30% | 20.00% | | 35% | 25.00% | | 40% | 30.00% | | 45% | 35.00% | | 50% | 40.00% | | 55% | 45.00% | | 60% | 50.00% | | 65% | 55.00% | | 70% | 60.00% | | 75% | 65.00% | | 80% | 70.00% | | 85% | 75.00% | | 90% | 80.00% | *** ### Step 6: Determining Final Reward Percentage After the adjustments, the resultant percentage is termed the Actual Daily Reward Percentage. This represents the genuine reward percentage that will be released to the user. *** ### Step 7: Calculating LYK Rewards The LYK rewards for the user are calculated using the formula: LYK Rewards=Actual Daily Reward Percentage\*tokens *** ### Step 8: Withdrawal and Rebuy Allocation Once the rewards are calculated, they are split into two segments: * Withdrawable Percentage: 60% of the rewards can be withdrawn directly by the user. * Rebuy Percentage: The remaining 40% is allocated for rebuy. # Cloud Minting Rewards Calculation Formula Learn about Cloud Minting Rewards Calculation Formula on Layer 4.

To participate, you need to acquire specific virtual machines (VM) or hardware and deposit LAYERK as the Minting token. This process allows you to engage in CloudK Minting and contribute to creating value within the LFi ecosystem. ## How does NFT Metadata change in CloudK Minting? In CloudK Minting, NFT metadata, including attributes like lifetime and boost value, evolves every two weeks for new NFTs. These changes influence the value and uniqueness of the tokens, providing users with guidance in their decisions within the CloudK Minting system. ## How are CloudK Minting rewards determined for users? CloudK Minting rewards for users are determined through a calculation involving factors such as their NFT properties (lifetime and boost value), chosen Minting token lock duration (12-month or 24-month), and the relationship between Price at Market (PTM) and Growth Level Price (GLP). These elements collectively influence the Maximum Retrievable Daily Reward, which serves as the basis for calculating users’ rewards. ## How does the choice of Minting token Lock Duration impact CloudK Minting rewards? The choice of Minting token lock duration significantly impacts users’ rewards. Opting for a 12-month lock results in disqualifying 60% of the total rewards, leaving only 40% of the Maximum Retrievable Daily Reward. Conversely, with a 24-month lock, no disqualification applies, allowing users to receive 100% of the Maximum Retrievable Daily Reward. ## What role do Price at Market (PTM) and Growth Level Price (GLP) play in CloudX Minting rewards calculation? PTM and GLP are critical factors influencing CloudK Minting rewards calculation. If PTM exceeds GLP, the Maximum Retrievable Daily Reward is recalculated, adjusting rewards based on market conditions. If PTM is less than or equal to GLP, the Maximum Retrievable Daily Reward remains unchanged, ensuring a fair and transparent reward system. ## How can users calculate their actual CloudX Minting rewards in cLFI tokens? To calculate their final CloudK Minting rewards, users need to understand the disqualification system. If disqualified, the Maximum Retrievable Daily Reward is adjusted. Users can use the formula: LAYERK Rewards = Maximum Retrievable Daily Reward in tokens for each loaded token \* Minting token. This formula helps users determine their daily earnings based on the number of tokens loaded and the chosen Minting Utility Token, providing clarity and transparency regarding their rewards within the LAYERK Minting ecosystem. ## How can I withdraw my CloudX Minting rewards, and how can I reinvest in the ecosystem? Users can withdraw 60% of their calculated rewards directly. The remaining 40% is reserved for rebuying Virtual Machine NFT Licenses, allowing them to reinvest in the CloudK Minting protocol and continue participating in this innovative ecosystem. This rebuy ensures the growth and sustainability of their CloudK Minting experience. # CLOUDK Rewards Calculation Formula #### Software License Metadata: In our architecture, each Software License is characterized by specific metadata that defines its properties: * Lifetime: This indicates the duration for which the Software License remains valid, measured in days. * Boost Value: Represented numerically, the boost value signifies the additional benefit or bonus conferred to the Software License holder. #### Generational Decline The distinctive aspect of our Software License architecture is the systematic reduction of inherent properties over time, specifically in terms of their lifetime and boost value. * Lifetime Decline: Initially, each Software License begins with a lifetime of 1080 days. However, every two weeks, this duration decreases by 7 days, gradually reducing the overall lifespan of the license. * Boost Value Decline: The boost value of the Software License also undergoes reduction. Starting at a value of 7, the boost value decreases by 0.1 every two weeks, diminishing the additional benefits provided by the license over time. #### First Generation Software License Promotion: A special promotion has been crafted for early adopters. The first generation of Software Licenses will feature an enhanced boost value. Rather than the standard 7, these Software Licenses will boast a boost value of 8. *** ### Software License Reward Calculation: Steps and Methodology #### Step 1: Minting Utility Token Locking To qualify for rewards, users must lock a designated amount of collateral linked to their Software License. Here are the specifics: * Maximum Minting Utility Token: A Software License holder can lock Minting Utility Tokens up to twice the dollar value of their Software License. Given that each Software License is priced at $100, the maximum amount of collateral that can be locked is $200. * Minting Utility Token: The Minting Utility Token must be in the form of LAYERK tokens. * Lock Duration: Users have three options for the locking period: 12 months, 24 months, or maximum months. Upon locking, the system will record a value termed as Base Lock Value (BLV). The BLV is equivalent to the LAYERK's Price at Market (PTM) at the time the collateral was locked. *** #### Step 2: Daily Reward Percentage Calculation The next step involves determining the daily reward percentage that a user can retrieve. This percentage is derived from the properties of the Software License the user holds: Maximum Retrievable Daily Reward %= Boost ValueLifetime Here: * Boost Value is derived from the Software License's metadata. * Lifetime represents the current duration remaining for the Software License, measured in days. This formula ensures that the reward percentage is directly influenced by the unique characteristics of each Software License and adjusts based on its generational decline over time. *** ### Software License Reward Qualification: Determining Disqualifications #### Step 3: Collateral Lock Duration Analysis The duration for which a user locks their collateral significantly impacts their rewards. * **12-Month Lock:** If a user chooses to lock their collateral for 12 months, 60% of their total rewards are disqualified. This means the user proceeds to the next stage with only 40% of the Maximum Retrievable Daily Reward Percentage. * **24-Month or Max Lock:** Users who lock their collateral for a 24-month period or longer face no disqualification at this step. They move to the next stage with 100% of the Maximum Retrievable Daily Reward Percentage intact. *** #### Step 4: Price at Market (PTM) and Growth Level Price (GLP) Evaluation In this step, the analysis focuses on two critical price points: the current Price at Market (PTM) and the Growth Level Price (GLP). The reward percentage is determined by the relationship between these two values. * PTM > GLP: If PTM is greater than GLP, the Maximum Retrievable Daily Reward Amount is recalculated as: New Maximum Retrievable Daily Reward Amount = Maximum Retrievable Daily Reward Amount \* (GLP / PTM). In this scenario, the formula calculates the disqualified amount based on PTM’s growth over GLP. * PTM ≤ GLP: If PTM is less than or equal to GLP, then the Maximum Retrievable Daily Reward Percentage remains unchanged, and the user progresses to the next step with this value. *** #### Step 5: Adjustment Based on PTM and GLP Relationship Upon comparing PTM and GLP: PTM > GLP: If PTM exceeds GLP, the user advances to the subsequent step without any changes. PTM ≤ GLP: If PTM is less than or equal to GLP, the disqualification percentage is computed as 1 − (PTM / GLP). Depending on the resulting value, the percentage of rewards to be disqualified is determined using the table below: | Decrese Price | Burn | | ------------- | ------ | | 10% | 0.00% | | 15% | 5.00% | | 20% | 10.00% | | 25% | 15.00% | | 30% | 20.00% | | 35% | 25.00% | | 40% | 30.00% | | 45% | 35.00% | | 50% | 40.00% | | 55% | 45.00% | | 60% | 50.00% | | 65% | 55.00% | | 70% | 60.00% | | 75% | 65.00% | | 80% | 70.00% | | 85% | 75.00% | | 90% | 80.00% | *** #### Step 6: Determining Final Reward Percentage After these adjustments, the resulting percentage is termed the Actual Daily Reward Percentage. This represents the genuine reward percentage that will be released to the user. *** #### Step 7: Calculating LAYERK Rewards The LAYERK rewards for the user are calculated using the formula: LAYERK Rewards=Actual Daily Reward Amount\*Collateral *** #### Step 8: Withdrawal and Rebuy Allocation Once the rewards are calculated, they are divided into two segments: * Withdrawable Percentage: 60% of the rewards can be withdrawn directly by the user. * Rebuy Percentage: The remaining 40% is allocated for rebuying. # Generation NFT Learn how NFT is generated through CloudK Minting.

Happy minting! # NodeK NodeK 1.0 is a minting where our community can mint LYK by link LYK with phisical hardware and leveraging the minting power of their chosen plan as Minting Utility Token. The ideology behind NodeK 1.0 is as simple as: * Hardware + Linked Utility token = New tokens \ Let’s understand how the above will be possible, \ Our community has 2 options for earning rewards: 1. Auto Link Off- Gives regular rewards 2. Auto Link On- Optimizes rewards with the power of increase daily your token linked ## Rewards calculation when Auto Link is Off ### A) Step 1- Determining each user’s collateral and staking limit #### "Linked LYK Value" calculation The "Linked LYK Value" is calculated considering the number of tokens linked and the price of LYK token at the time of staking i.e. (Day 0 Token count \* Day 0 staking price) + (Day 2 Token count \* Day 2 staking price) + (Day N Token count \* Day N staking price) #### Staking Limit The maximum number of tokens a user can stake depends on the chosen Machine and is limited by the available linked LYK relative to the current price of LYK tokens. Therefore, Max Token User can stake = (Machine Link Limit - Total Collateral for the user) / Current LYK Price ### 2) Step 2 - Minting Calculation The rewards related calculations will be performed daily at 00 UTC timestamp. To calculate rewards first we need to understand the following factors: * All time High (ATH) is the Max price LYK has reached from the day the user initiated first staking in the plan. It will be calculated at the user level from the date he enrolled for the plan. * Percentage Fall from ATH i.e. (ATH - LYK Price) / ATH * Decrease Level Price (DLP) is set to the current LYK price at the time of enrollment. If the LYK price decreases from its previous day’s value, the DLP is adjusted corresponding to the % fall in price from current ATH. When a decrease occurs, the LYK price is compared with the ATH price. Depending on how much the LYK price has dropped relative to the ATH, the DLP is increased by a specified percentage as defined in the below table.
| INFLATION RULES | | | | | ----------------------- | ------------------- | ------------ | ------------------------------------------------- | | % Fall in the LYK Price | Decrease production | Increase DLP | Minting Boost for new machine active in the level | | 0% | 0.00% | 0.00% | 0 | | 5% | 0.00% | 0.00% | 0 | | 10% | 5.00% | 5.00% | 0 | | 15% | 5.00% | 5.00% | 0 | | 20% | 10.00% | 5.00% | Base + 0.01 | | 25% | 10.00% | 5.00% | Base + 0.01 | | 30% | 15.00% | 5.00% | Base + 0.02 | | 35% | 20.00% | 5.00% | Base + 0.03 | | 40% | 25.00% | 5.00% | Base + 0.04 | | 45% | 30.00% | 5.00% | Base + 0.05 | | 50% | 35.00% | 5.00% | Base + 0.06 | | 55% | 40.00% | 5.00% | Base + 0.07 | | 60% | 45.00% | 5.00% | Base + 0.08 | | 65% | 50.00% | 5.00% | Base + 0.09 | | 70% | 55.00% | 5.00% | Base + 0.1 | | 75% | 60.00% | 5.00% | Base + 0.11 | | 80% | 65.00% | 5.00% | Base + 0.12 | | 85% | 65.00% | 5.00% | Base + 0.12 | | 90% | 65.00% | 5.00% | Base + 0.12 | | 95% | 65.00% | 5.00% | Base + 0.12 | * Production decrease is calculated irrespective of the change in price of LYK * Production Decrease when the LYK prices fall or remains unchanged: Use the % fall from the ATH value to fetch the corresponding production decrease % from table defined above * Production Decrease in token numbers when the LYK price increases: Calculate the % fall from the DLP when the LYK price increases % Fall from DLP = (DLP - LYK Price) / DLP * Minting Power depends on the user's chosen Hardware and remains fixed once defined at the start of their participation. When a new user joins or an existing user upgrades to a new plan, the Minting power = minting power as per the chosen plan + Minting boost * Minting Boost is common for all users and applicable to the overall NodeK program. At the launch of NodeK 2.0, the minting boost will be 0.00%. When the LYK price falls from previous day price, the % fall from ATH value is used to fetch the boost value from the table added in earlier section After determining all the above values: Minting distribution = Total Collateral Value \* Minting Power \* Production Reduction \* 0.7 ## Rewards calculation when Auto Link is On ### A) Step 1- Determining each user’s LYK Linked token and staking limit The "Linked LYK Value" for Auto Link ON is calculated by including the rewards received in addition to the number of tokens staked and the price of LYK token at the time of staking i.e. Total "Linked LYK Value" = (Previous Day Collateral amount) + (Previous Day $ Rewards) Each subsequent day, the rewards from the previous day are added to the "Linked LYK " amount. Daily, the rewards are credited and then automatically relinked into the staked equivalent token at the prevailing LYK price for that day (Same LYK price which was used for calculating rewards). ### B) Step 2 - Reward Calculation ATH, Percentage Fall from ATH, DLP, Production decrease and Minting Power are calculated as per Auto link off logic After determining all the above values: Reward = Linked LYK Value \* Minting Power \* Production Reduction Users who have opted for the Auto Compounding ON option cannot withdraw their rewards directly; instead, the rewards are compounded into the linked tokens.

LAYERK holders can participate in the Vesting Protocol by locking their LAYERK tokens to receive vLAYERK. ## LAYERK Token LAYERK holders can participate in the Vesting Protocol by locking their LAYERK tokens to receive vLAYERK. Vesting involves temporarily locking a portion of the total token supply out of circulation. vLAYERK is a non-transferable token that grants holders access to various benefits within the ecosystem. This includes earning rewards from the vLAYERK Ecosystem, gaining advantages through the Ranking System, and voting in LAYERK-DAO decisions. For each LAYERK token committed, one vLAYERK is issued to the user's wallet. *** ### Unvesting It will be possible to initiate the unvesting of vLAYERK tokens through the Unvesting page. Upon executing a smart contract, you will receive LFi tokens. According to the unvesting smart contract, LFi tokens will be released gradually over approximately 730 days, on a per-block basis. The release will follow the formula outlined below: $$ LAYERK\ released\ each\ block = \frac{vLAYERK\ committed}{20937860} $$ # vLAYERK Use Cases vLAYERK minting and staking - Use Cases, Explore the various use cases of vLAYERK and discover the wide range of staking opportunities available within the LAYERK ecosystem. ## vLAYERK Use Cases ### **Rewards** Hold tokens to receive rewards from the ecosystem. *** ### **Ranking system** The higher the vLAYERK held, the higher the rank will be, guaranteeing wider allocations within the Launchpad, and obtaining fees discounts on ecosystem products. *** ### **Governance** The more tokens held, the higher the voting power. # vLAYERK Rewards vLFi Rewards: Maximize your staking benefits, understanding how to optimize rewards and benefits within the LFi ecosystem. Just holding vLAYERK users will receive vLAYERK rewards from the ecosystem ## vLAYERK Rewards By vesting LAYERK, users receive vLAYERK with access to services and benefits from the ecosystem. Just holding vLAYERK users will receive vLAYERK rewards from the ecosystem, based on this formula: $$ vLAYERK\ block\ user\ rewards = \frac{total\ vLAYERK\ block\ rewards}{total\ vLAYERK\ supply}\*user\ vLAYERK\ balance $$ Total vLAYERK block rewards are calculated as: $$ total\ vLAYERK\ block\ rewards = \frac{Ecosystem\ Wallet}{41875720} $$ *** ### Forecast vLAYERK rewards for the first six months are as follows. These are projections based on our calculated estimations. APR is the ratio between the number of tokens released by the ecosystem in one month and the quantity of vLAYERK in circulation. The lower the quantity of vLAYERK in circulation, the higher the APR. # LAYERK Software Wallet LAYERK Software Wallet: Securely manage your digital assets with the LAYERK Software Wallet, providing a reliable solution for storing and transacting with your cryptocurrencies | Join LayerK ## LAYERK Software Wallet LAYERK provides a cryptocurrency wallet application that offers a decentralized, user-friendly platform for managing a wide array of over 1,000 cryptocurrencies.

Just as a physical bridge connects two geographical locations, a blockchain bridge connects two distinct blockchain ecosystems. These bridges enable communication between blockchains by facilitating the transfer of information and assets. **Why do we need bridges?** Blockchains operate in isolated environments with unique rules and consensus mechanisms. This isolation prevents native communication and the free movement of tokens between blockchains. Bridges address this challenge by establishing connections that enable seamless transfers of information and tokens across different blockchain networks. Our decentralized ecosystem will initially be developed on the Polygon Chain, followed by the launch of our proprietary blockchain, the LAYERK Chain. The LAYERK Bridge will facilitate the migration of various tokens from different blockchains, starting with Polygon to the LAYERK Chain. This integration enhances interoperability within our ecosystem and expands opportunities for token movement and utilization. # LAYERK DEX LAYERK DEX: Explore the capabilities of a decentralized exchange (DEX). LAYERK DEX empowers you to securely trade cryptocurrencies and digital assets without intermediaries | Join LayerK ## LAYERK DEX LAYERK DEX is the ecosystem's decentralized exchange (DEX). Unlike centralized exchanges that depend on intermediaries, L-DEX utilizes smart contracts to facilitate direct trades between users, ensuring anonymity and independence from central constraints. Key features of L-DEX include: * User-contributed liquidity. * Rewards and trading fee shares for liquidity providers. * A requirement of sufficient liquidity depth for token pair trading. *** ### Swap: How Does It Work? LAYERK DEX allows users to swap tokens efficiently. Token swapping is a core function of DeFi DEXs, where users send their tokens into the protocol and receive as close to an equivalent value of another token as possible, considering transaction fees, slippage, and price impact. In DeFi, smart contracts manage each step of a swap transaction, without involving human or centralized intermediaries. This provides users with several advantages over traditional or centralized currency exchanges, including: * Fast transaction speeds * Permissionless trading * Flexibility and access to a wide variety of tokens * Markets that are always open. Most importantly, swapping between tokens allows users to take advantage of unique opportunities within DeFi. For example: * A user looking to acquire a protocol utility token, such as LAYERK, can utilize the LAYERK DEX to swap it with an existing token. * A user interested in supporting a specific crypto project first on the BNB Chain and later on the LAYERK Chain can utilize the LAYERK DEX to purchase the token of a listed project. They have the flexibility to swap tokens swiftly and independently, without requiring intermediary approval. * A user seeking to consolidate crypto tokens into stablecoins for portfolio stability can use the LAYERK DEX to trade their project tokens for USDT or other listed stablecoins at any time, without the need for permission from a centralized entity. *** ### Trading Fees ⚙️ More information will be shared soon. *** ### Slippage When a user initiates a swap on the LAYERK DEX, they set a slippage tolerance amount, which determines the acceptable price difference between the time of transaction submission and its confirmation on the blockchain. Slippage refers to this difference in prices. The slippage tolerance can range from 0.20% to 2.00%, with a default value of 0.50%. If the price discrepancy exceeds the chosen tolerance level during execution, the trade will not go through. If the token being traded includes a reflect fee, the slippage tolerance must meet or exceed the percentage of the reflect fee for the transaction to successfully complete. *** ### Price Impact Slippage arises not only from fluctuations in prices due to other users' trades but also from the trade itself, which is referred to as price impact. This impact is expressed as a percentage at the bottom of the swap module. Price impact is determined by the constant product formula. If the slippage tolerance set by the user is less than the price impact of the trade, the trade will not be successful. *** ## Tx Deadline Swaps on the platform default to a transaction deadline of 20 minutes before timing out and failing. This ensures that incomplete transactions do not linger indefinitely in a user’s wallet. Users have the option to adjust this time limit in the settings of the swap page. # LAYERK DEX Plus LAYERK DEX Plus is a platform designed to provide decentralized tools for securely exchanging and swapping cryptocurrencies, maintaining the privacy and anonymity of both the sender and recipient ## LAYERK DEX Plus LAYERK DEX Plus is a product designed to offer decentralized tools for exchanging and swapping cryptocurrencies privately and confidentially, ensuring the anonymity of both the sender and recipient of your transactions. #### Why LAYERK DEX Plus? * Fast and convenient exchange without any registration * Complete privacy for the originator and beneficiary of your swaps * Supporting over 200 cryptocurrencies and 600 trading pairs * No exchange limits *** ### How to Use It LAYERK DEX Plus 1. **Choose the currency:** Enter the details of the cryptocurrencies you wish to swap. 2. **Enter the destination address:** Provide the wallet address where you want to receive your funds. 3. **Agree to the terms:** By conducting exchanges on LAYERK DEX Plus, you acknowledge that you have reviewed and agreed to the terms and conditions governing this service. 4. **Send to your generated address:** Finalize your exchange by sending the specified amount to a newly generated deposit address assigned exclusively to you. 5. **Receive your coins:** Obtain your desired cryptocurrency at your designated destination address within minutes. # LAYERK Launchpad The LAYERK Launchpad plays a dual role in the crypto space-enabling enthusiasts to explore, connect with innovative projects, while offering emerging crypto ventures a platform to showcase their token ## LAYERK Launchpad The LAYERK Launchpad serves a dual purpose in the crypto realm: empowering enthusiasts to discover and engage with pioneering projects, while providing an invaluable platform for emerging crypto projects to showcase and promote their tokens, ensuring they gain the visibility and traction they deserve. **For Crypto Enthusiasts**: * **Early Access**: Engage with groundbreaking crypto startups ahead of the crowd. * **Meticulous Selection**: Only projects demonstrating immense potential make the cut. * **Enhanced Protection**: Advanced safeguards to mitigate fraud and associated risks. * **Vibrant Community**: Engage with a network of crypto aficionados sharing mutual interests. #### **For Crypto Startups**: * **Capital Raising Platform**: An ecosystem dedicated to launching novel coins and crypto ventures, ensuring robust liquidity. * **Comprehensive Services**: From pre-issue advisory to post-listing marketing assistance, the LAYERK Launchpad covers it all. * **Focus on Innovation**: Let us manage marketing and initial user acquisition, while startups concentrate on development and innovation. * **Vigorous Vetting**: A rigorous evaluation process ensures only the cream of the crop is showcased. * **Sponsorship Opportunities**: Elevate token visibility by securing sponsorship on LAYERK Launchpad. * **Community Choice**: The LAYERK community has the liberty to pick from a curated list of vetted tokens. * **Revenue Generation**: Sponsorship incurs fees, amplifying the token pool, and enhancing community rewards. * **Privileged Access with v**LAYERK: Possessing vLAYERK tokens not only unlocks access to token pre-sales but also offers a tiered purchase advantage.

LAYERK Launchpad bears no responsibility for any consequential loss or damage resulting from this integration, including, but not limited to, potential losses after purchasing tokens from the Pool. It's crucial to understand that while the platform facilitates Pool access, there is no guarantee regarding the token's performance after purchase. Token allocation operates on a "first come, first serve" basis, and guaranteed access is not assured.* # LAYERK Lending LAYERK Lending: Explore how LAYERK Lending enables users to borrow assets and earn from decentralized applications (DApps) within the ecosystem. Find out how it works, Join us now ## LAYERK Lending Lending involves depositing (i.e., supplying) tokens into a lending network. In return for providing liquidity to the lending protocol, users earn interest on the tokens they have deposited. This interest is derived from borrowers who pay interest to borrow tokens from the network. Lenders have the flexibility to withdraw their tokens at any time, provided that they are not currently being used as Utility Token for borrowing and not all of the tokens they have deposited are being borrowed. {% hint style="success" %} There is no time lock or withdrawal penalty. {% endhint %} {% hint style="info" %} LAYERK Lending will be released in 2025. {% endhint %} ## What is the Difference between Borrowing? Borrowing involves taking a loan from a lending protocol. Unlike lending, where users supply tokens to a pool of assets, borrowing entails withdrawing tokens from this pool of assets. In LAYERK lending, users are required to first deposit tokens into the lending protocol before they can borrow tokens. # LAYERK Global Pool LAYERK Global Pool - The goal of LAYERK is to establish a distributed and decentralized infrastructure that supports the entire ecosystem, accommodating all DApps and applications | Join us The goal of LAYERK is to establish a distributed and decentralized infrastructure that supports the entire LAYERK ecosystem, accommodating all DApps and applications utilizing LAYERK's services. To foster expansion, validator pools have been instituted. Nodes that become operational first in each country are prioritized based on speed, entitling them to rewards. Once a node is active and maintains the required staked tokens, it earns a portion of the inflation and fee rewards allocated for each active node. Specifically, 5% of the total inflation is reserved for the first 50,000 nodes globally. Additionally, each country receives a 5% allocation of the total inflation and rewards, designated for the first 5,000 active nodes within that country. # Super Node The Supernode programme aims at giving rewards to the users on the NodeK productivity earned by their community. The more the community members of a user gain NodeK productivity, the more the user will get Supernode Rewards. The Supernode programme plays a crucial role in our rewards ecosystem, by generating approximately 30% of the daily generated NodeK rewards as Supernode rewards. These rewards are distributed in various forms, including Base Referral, Generational, and Builder Referral rewards. The reward flow is structured as follows: * The connected computer devices generate NodeK rewards when tokens are linked. * 30% of the rewards are directed to the upline i.e. the Supernode, in the form of the aforementioned rewards. A detailed explanation of these reward types can be found further in the document. # Social Work Coming soon. # Liquidity ## Liquidity-Backed Capacity \ Every NodeK needs LYK locked to access network jobs. Liquidity-Backed Capacity (LBC) lets the community help machines reach that lock threshold so they can start contributing sooner. Contributors place LYK into a purpose-built pool, and those tokens are assigned in on-chain escrow to specific devices—no trading, no leverage, just community-backed capacity that brings more machines online, in more places. \ When an node operator requests additional lock for a device, the pool allocates LYK directly to that machine’s escrow. The device runs jobs as normal. A small, pre-set share of the machine’s daily emissions automatically routes back to the pool until the backing is cleared, after which the full emission route returns to the operator. Everything is transparent in-app: who is backed, how much is allocated, and the settlement progress—without moving tokens through user wallets or creating transferable claims. **Why it’s good for the network**\ LBC lowers activation friction and accelerates global coverage. More active devices mean lower latency, higher reliability, and capacity for more powerful workloads—strengthening LayerK's utility while aligning everyone around real work performed by real machines. It’s people-powered liquidity for network growth: simple, transparent, and purpose-built for putting hardware to work. # Homnifi Introducing Homnifi, the all-in-one platform for minting, staking, DeFi, and automated trading.

The continuous news and growing uncertainty have made the landscape increasingly chaotic. Users are immersed in an ocean of tokens: in 2017, CoinMarketCap listed about 20,000 tokens, while today this number has surpassed 10 million. This means liquidity is being dispersed, investors are confused, and many projects are born and disappear in less than 24 hours, without real utility or a long-term strategy. At LAYERK, we are here to make a difference. Our goal is not to create just another token, but to build a solid, sustainable ecosystem designed to last over time. We know that the value of a utility token is based on its real utility and the demand generated by the services it offers. This is why our team is working tirelessly to develop the necessary infrastructure and functionalities for LAYERK to become an indispensable asset within our platform. The path to success requires time, consistency, and trust. We are operating with a well-defined strategy, forging strategic partnerships, optimizing tokenomics, and expanding the token's use cases to ensure that its growth is organic and sustainable. Our vision is not short-term but aimed at building a system that can thrive in an increasingly competitive and chaotic market. In times like these, it is crucial to stay focused on quality, innovation, and trust in our mission. We know that many are influenced by market volatility, but those who look beyond the difficulties and invest in projects with a clear vision will be the ones who benefit the most in the long run. #### **Short-Term Objectives (Q1-Q2 2025)** ✅ **COMPLETED: Major Update to the LYK Blockchain**\ We have implemented a significant update to the LayerK Blockchain, introducing support for **WASM (WebAssembly)**. With this technology, it is now possible to develop and deploy smart contracts in programming languages like **Rust and C++**, offering developers greater flexibility and better performance compared to Solidity, the standard language of the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM). #### **Medium-Term Objectives (Q3-Q4 2025)** 1. **On-chain Launch of NODEK and CLOUDK** * After a 90-day testing period, the migration of the NODEK & CLOUDK protocols to the LYK blockchain will allow us to process over **200,000 daily transactions** by May 2025. 2. **Testing of the Computer Device Connection** * Computer Device connection testing will continue, aiming to optimize network latency for the launch of the first **DEPIN** services. 3. **Launch of the Bridge** * A **blockchain bridge** is a protocol that allows the secure and efficient transfer of assets and data between different blockchains. The launch of the **LYK Bridge** will allow users to move their tokens across multiple chains, increasing liquidity and interoperability within our ecosystem. 4. **Token Locking & Burning** * Currently, some wallets under the control of the **LYK Foundation** are not yet fully locked, as the migration from the previous token to **LYK** is still in progress. This phase will be completed within the next **three weeks**, after which a significant portion of the supply will be **burned**, reducing the overall supply and increasing the token's value in the long term. Subsequently, all **smart contracts** with locked wallets will be launched. #### **Long-Term Objectives (Q3-Q4 2025)** 1. **Integration of the LYK Blockchain with 20 Exchanges** * Completing the integration with 20 exchanges will ensure **greater adoption and liquidity** for the token. 2. **Launch of the LYK Decentralized Wallet & Integration with App Stores** * The decentralized **LYK wallet** will be released and integrated into the **official stores**, improving accessibility and user experience. 3. **Opening of the First LYK Store for Developers** * The **LYK Store** will offer developers a marketplace dedicated to building applications on the LYK blockchain. 4. **Launch of Dual Staking** * We will introduce **Dual Staking**, an innovative mechanism that will allow users to combine **LYK with another token** to mint new assets developed on our blockchain. #### **Key Objectives for 2025** * **Distribution of 50,000 XK Computers** worldwide for the launch of the **NODE as a Service** offering, increasing the scalability of the LYK network. * **Distribution of 100,000 XK Computers** for the expansion of **LYK STORE and DEPIN** services, further solidifying the presence of the LYK blockchain in the industry. #### **Conclusion** We invite you to stay with us on this journey and believe in our strategy. **LAYERK is not just another token among millions, but a project with solid foundations and real ambitions.** Our commitment is constant, and we are ready to face every challenge to bring value to all our holders. Thank you for your support, your trust is our strength. **Together, we will build the future of LAYERK!** **The LAYERK Team** # ANNOUNCEMENT — LAYERK ECOSYSTEM UPDATE Dear Community, Today marks an important milestone in the evolution of the LayerK ecosystem. We are entering what we define as the **final stage of infrastructure deployment**, where our focus shifts from building to **scaling usability and real-world adoption**. Proven Infrastructure — Not Theory LayerK is not a concept — it is an **operational blockchain network** with verifiable on-chain activity, including transaction records, wallet interactions, and block production that can be independently validated through public explorers . ### Transition to Usability Our mission now evolves from infrastructure creation to **user accessibility and practical utility**. This transition is fully aligned with the architecture of the ecosystem: * **LayerK → Protocol infrastructure** * **Nodes (AiX devices) → Real computational workload** * **Homnifi → User interface and access layer** This structure ensures that the system operates as a **distributed infrastructure network**, not a centralized platform. ### Hardware Deployment Milestone We are proud to confirm that: **AiX1 machine deliveries have officially started** This represents a major achievement, as these devices form the **physical backbone of the decentralized infrastructure network**, enabling real computational participation across regions. ### App Store Launch — Real Utility Begins The upcoming **LayerK App Store** will introduce the first wave of decentralized utility applications, accessible to users operating node devices. Initial applications will include: #### 1. VPN (Virtual Private Network) * Secure and encrypted internet access * Decentralized routing through distributed nodes * Enhanced privacy and protection of user data #### 2. Ad Blocker * Network-level ad filtering * Improved browsing speed and reduced data consumption * Cleaner and safer online experience 3\. Hash Contribution Engine The Hash Contribution Engine enables distributed, CPU-based participation in Bitcoin hash discovery through a coordinated network. * Uses lightweight CPU hashing instead of centralized ASIC mining * Connects to a gateway that submits valid results to the Bitcoin network * Operates as a probabilistic system with rare, high-value discovery outcomes Access to these services will be **directly linked to node participation**, reinforcing the connection between infrastructure contribution and utility access. ### B2B Strategy — Expanding Real Demand Our next strategic phase focuses on **B2B integration**. The objective is clear: Bring **real, external demand and utility** to the LYK token Within the LayerK protocol, the LYK token serves functional roles such as: * transaction fees (gas) * interaction with decentralized applications * participation in protocol mechanisms By expanding into B2B partnerships, we aim to anchor token usage in **real services and infrastructure consumption**, not speculation. ### Global Infrastructure Vision Our long-term target: **3,000–4,000 nodes per country within 36 months** This supports the vision of building a **globally distributed computing network**, aligned with the concept of decentralized infrastructure rather than centralized data centers . ### Staying True to the Vision From the earliest community platforms to today’s architecture, the ecosystem has evolved through multiple stages toward a unified objective: Building a **decentralized, infrastructure-driven digital ecosystem** We remain committed to that vision. *** This is not the end of the journey. This is the beginning of **real-world execution at scale**. # Roadmap 2026 - 2029 ## LayerK Ecosystem Communication & Roadmap 2026–2029 *A message to the LayerK community* Today marks an important milestone in the evolution of the LayerK ecosystem. We are entering the final stage of infrastructure deployment - the moment our focus shifts from building to scaling usability and real-world adoption. This communiqué brings together where we stand, how the economy works, and exactly where we are going over the next three years. ## Proven infrastructure, not theory LayerK is not a concept. It is an operational blockchain network with verifiable on-chain activity: transaction records, wallet interactions, and block production that can be independently validated through public explorers. We do not ask you to take our word for it. We ask you to read the chain. The architecture is built in three clear layers: • LayerK is the protocol infrastructure: the chain itself. • Nodes (AiX devices) perform the real computational workload. • Homnifi is the user interface and access layer. This structure keeps the system a distributed infrastructure network, not a centralized platform. ## How value is created and captured LayerK turns hardware into productive digital infrastructure, and turns that productivity into token scarcity. #### The nodes do real work Each node is a multi-purpose device that can run many real services at once: decentralized VPN, residential ethical proxy and bandwidth supply, blockchain validation, AI training bandwidth, IoT and smart-city data, content delivery, and enterprise services such as ad verification and brand protection. These are services that real companies and real users already pay for today. #### The work generates real revenue The network sells this computational capacity and connectivity to actual customers, settled through the protocol in LYK. #### The revenue feeds the token Revenue flows in one direction: 1\. Machines earn - the fleet produces computational work and connectivity that customers pay for. 2\. Earnings buy LYK - revenue purchases LYK on the open market. 3\. LYK is burned - bought-back tokens are permanently removed from supply. Supply is fixed at 1 billion LYK and can only go down. More machines and more usage mean more buy-back, and more buy-back means a scarcer supply. The loop is self-reinforcing: more compute, more revenue, more buy-back, less supply, and a stronger foundation for the next wave of nodes. Inside the protocol, LYK also serves functional roles: gas for transactions, interaction with decentralized applications, and participation in protocol mechanisms. ## Why this is different from most tokens The vast majority of tokens have no product, no customers, and no revenue. Their price is driven almost entirely by speculation. LayerK is built on the opposite premise. What makes the model genuinely innovative is the closed loop between real-world infrastructure and token economics: the harder the network works, the scarcer the token becomes, and every burn is publicly auditable. This is not a bet on a narrative. It is infrastructure that produces value, an economy that captures it, and a ledger that proves it. ## Transparency you can verify A public transparency page is live so anyone can audit the economy in real time: • The fleet: machines online and producing computational work. • The revenue: income generated from selling that compute. • The buy-back: how revenue purchases LYK on the open market. • The on-chain burn: LYK permanently destroyed, read directly from the burn wallet on a public explorer. The burn is the part you do not have to trust. It is recorded on-chain and verifiable by anyone, at any time. Network revenue and fleet figures are reported by LayerK for transparency; the on-chain burn is the independently verifiable anchor. ## What is shipping now - 2026 Foundation complete; utility switched on.

## Roadmap 2026 - 2029 A distributed computing network is not built in a quarter. Here is the direction of travel, stage by stage. These are operational targets and ambitions, not financial guarantees. #### 2026 - *Foundation · you are here* Complete the foundation, switch on utility. • App Store and its first apps reach users' hands • DAO, Machine Validator, Node Center and Slyk operational. • Buy-back and burn running publicly via the Resources page. • AiX1 and GEN 3 deliveries scaling. • First B2B pilots signed. **Node target: 6,000 – 8,000** #### 2027 - *Scale the fleet* Grow the fleet, deepen utility. • Grow the active node fleet across multiple priority countries. • Expand the App Store catalogue beyond the first applications. • Convert B2B pilots into recurring, revenue-generating integrations. • Mature DAO governance so the community steers the protocol. • Strengthen the buy-back engine as fleet revenue grows. **Node target: 20,000** #### 2028 - *Anchor demand* Anchor demand in real consumption. • B2B demand becomes a primary driver of token utility. • Nodes distribute broadly across many countries for true decentralization. • LayerK stands as a globally distributed computing network - the alternative to centralized data centers. • The loop becomes self-sustaining: real demand, more compute, more buy-back, more scarcity. **Node target: 35,000** #### 2029 - *Global scale* Continue toward the 36-month vision. • Continue toward the 36-month vision of 3,000–4,000 nodes per country. • A truly global, distributed computing network. **Node target: 100,000** ## Staying true to the vision From the earliest community platforms to today's architecture, this ecosystem has evolved through many stages toward a single objective: building a decentralized, infrastructure-driven digital ecosystem. We remain committed to that vision. This is not the end of the journey. It is the beginning of real-world execution at scale. \- The LayerK Team *Disclaimer: These are operational targets and ambitions, not financial guarantees. The Hash Contribution Engine is a probabilistic system with rare, high-value outcomes by design - not a guaranteed yield mechanism. Network revenue and fleet figures are reported by LayerK for transparency; the on-chain burn is the independently verifiable anchor.* # Inside The LayerK Resource Network The LayerK Resources page is now live at layerk.com/resources. It presents, in real time, the mechanism that connects the network's operations to the LYK token: the machines that generate revenue, the use of that revenue to purchase LYK on the open market, and the burning of those tokens to reduce supply.​ ### The three headline figures The model is summarized by three figures, each published and updated on the page: * ​**Machines online.** The number of AiX nodes currently active and generating revenue, shown against total fleet capacity. This represents the network's productive base. * ​**Total earned.** Cumulative revenue generated by the fleet, denominated in USDT. This revenue funds the buy-back. * ​**LYK burned.** The quantity of LYK permanently removed from circulation, together with the percentage of total supply it represents. Read together, these figures trace the relationship between network activity and token supply: the revenue generated by the machines determines the volume of LYK bought and burned. ### The machines The network operates on AiX machines: compact, low-power computing nodes designed for continuous operation. Each machine provides four CPU cores, 12 GB of memory, and 256 GB of storage, and draws approximately six watts of power. The first buy-back and burn occur once the fleet reaches 2,000 active machines globally. From that point the program operates on a monthly cycle: at the close of each calendar month, the network's total USDT revenue for the period is finalized, used to purchase LYK on the open market, and the purchased tokens are burned in a single monthly burn event. The result of each cycle is published in the corresponding monthly report, and each month adds one buy-back and one burn to the cumulative totals. Each node performs commercial workloads across a range of services, including decentralized VPN, ethical residential proxy and bandwidth provision, blockchain validation, AI training bandwidth, IoT and smart-city data, content delivery, and enterprise services such as ad verification and brand protection. These are established services for which businesses and users already pay. ### From revenue to burn The mechanism operates in a single direction, on a monthly cycle: 1. ​The network sells its computing capacity and connectivity to customers, with revenue settled in USDT. 2. ​The full amount of that revenue is used to purchase LYK on the open market. 3. ​The purchased LYK is transferred to the burn wallet, permanently removing it from supply. 4. ​Circulating supply is reduced accordingly. Each monthly cycle produces one buy-back and one burn, rather than a continuous series of small transactions. #### The effect on supply LYK has a fixed maximum supply of one billion tokens. The protocol contains no mechanism to create additional tokens, so total supply can only decrease. A burn is more definitive than a conventional buy-back. Tokens retained in a treasury may be returned to the market at a later date, whereas burned tokens cannot be recovered. Each burn therefore represents a permanent reduction in supply, increasing the proportional share represented by every remaining token. Because the process is funded by network revenue, the rate of reduction scales with the fleet: as the number of machines and the level of usage increase, so does the monthly buy-back. #### The monthly cycle The buy-back and burn operate on a monthly cycle, effective from July 1, 2026. Cumulative earnings and burns are measured from that date forward, with no backdated figures. At the close of each calendar month, the network's total USDT revenue for the period is finalized. That amount is used to purchase LYK on the open market, and the purchased tokens are burned in a single monthly burn event, with the results published in the corresponding monthly report. Because a full month of activity must complete before it can be reported, the first buy-back and burn will take place after the close of the first full month. Each subsequent month adds one buy-back and one burn to the cumulative totals. #### Verification and reporting The figures fall into two categories, and the distinction is material. The burn is independently verifiable. It is recorded on-chain and can be read directly from the burn wallet on the public LayerK explorer. Its accuracy is established by the blockchain rather than by LayerK, and it can be audited at any time. Revenue and fleet figures are reported by LayerK. They are drawn directly from the network's operational data and are not recorded on-chain. For anyone reconciling the figures, the USDT earned in a given month divided by the LYK burned that month will not equal the token's spot price. Buy-backs are executed at prevailing market prices over the course of the month, and the projections shown on the page use a reference monthly-average price rather than a live market feed. #### Reviewing the data The Resources page is a standing record of the buy-back and burn program. The fleet count, cumulative revenue, and total LYK burned are updated as the network operates and as each monthly cycle completes, and the burn total can be confirmed independently on the LayerK explorer.

Governance outcomes are determined in accordance with the DAO’s on‑chain governance mechanisms and are not subject to unilateral override by LayerK; 8.4.2. Any LayerK‑affiliated foundation or other entity involved in deploying, upgrading, or interacting with smart contracts in connection with the DAO shall do so only as a technical implementer of validly adopted governance outcomes, and not as an independent decision‑maker with authority to alter such outcomes. 8.5. Notwithstanding Section 8.4, LayerK reserves the right, acting reasonably and in good faith, to suspend or restrict access to user interfaces or ancillary off‑chain services (but not to alter the underlying on‑chain governance outcomes) where LayerK determines that such action is necessary: 8.5.1. to comply with applicable law, regulation, court order, or law‑enforcement request; 8.5.2. to address critical security risks, smart contract vulnerabilities, or other threats that could result in material loss or systemic harm; or 8.5.3. to comply with applicable sanctions, anti‑money laundering, or similar legal obligations. 8.6. Users engaging in governance acknowledge that:​ 8.6.1. Governance outcomes may materially affect the functionality, utility, or value of tokens or other digital assets associated with the protocol; 8.6.2. Participation involves risk, including the potential for complete and irreversible loss of tokens or value; 8.6.3. They have independently assessed and understood these risks and, where necessary, obtained independent professional advice. ## 9. RISKS 9.1.

CONTACT INFORMATION If you have any questions or concerns about these Terms, you may contact us at . # LayerK DAO Terms & Conditions LayerK Group LTD Terms and Conditions. Join us and shape the future of finance! Last Updated on June, 2026 ## 1. Acceptance of Terms By accessing or interacting with the LayerK DAO smart contracts, website, interfaces, or governance systems (collectively, the “**Services**”), whether through the Homnifi platform or otherwise, you (“**User**”, “**you**”, “**your**”) confirm that you have read, understood, and agree to be legally bound by these Terms & Conditions (“**Terms**”). If you do not agree to these Terms, do not use the Services. ## 2. Nature of the LayerK DAO 2.1. LayerK DAO is a decentralized autonomous organization that governs the LayerK protocol through a stake‑weighted voting mechanism, using the native governance token “**GLYK**”. LayerK DAO is not a legal entity and does not constitute a partnership, joint venture, or agency. 2.2. All decisions are made collectively by GLYK token holders. No central authority, legal entity, or individual has the unilateral right to dictate governance outcomes. All decisions regarding governance matters must be approved by the DAO community through proposals and on-chain voting. 2.3. Governance functions include treasury management, protocol‑level decisions, and parameter configuration. All governance logic is executed transparently via smart contracts deployed on public blockchains. 2.4. Governance power within the LayerK DAO resides exclusively with the community of GLYK holders, in accordance with the principles of transparency, peer-based consensus, and decentralization. ## 3. Governance Moderation Committee (GMC) 3.1. A Governance Moderation Committee (“**GMC**”) is established as a lightweight, pre‑submission review layer for governance proposals. The GMC’s sole function is to ensure that proposals meet basic eligibility and content standards before they are permanently recorded on‑chain. The GMC does not evaluate the political, economic, or strategic merits of any proposal and has no authority over on‑chain voting or execution. 3.2. The GMC consists of a certain number of top GLYK‑holding wallets, determined at each governance snapshot in accordance with the DAO’s publicly available governance rules. The number of GMC members and the snapshot methodology may be updated from time to time through DAO governance. 3.3. The GMC’s authority is strictly limited to pre‑submission review. The GMC has no power to modify, approve, reject, delay, or influence any proposal after it has been written to the blockchain. The GMC has no role in the execution of approved proposals, which is performed exclusively by the DAO smart contracts. ## 4. Governance Token (GLYK) 4.1. Issuance: GLYK is minted through participation in designated LayerK programs, based on the amount of LYK tokens staked. Voting power is proportional to GLYK (1 GLYK = 1 vote). 4.2. Burn Mechanism: upon unstaking of LYK, an equivalent amount of GLYK is automatically burned, reducing governance power. 4.3. Utility: GLYK is designed and intended to function solely as a governance and utility token, conferring governance participation rights only. GLYK does not represent, and is not intended to represent, any ownership interest, equity, shares, security, profit-sharing right, revenue share, right to dividends or distribution, or any similar interest in LayerK or any affiliate, any protocol contributor, or any other person or entity. GLYK is not redeemable or exchangeable for any guaranteed amount of money, goods, or services, and is not intended to provide any expectation of profit, yield, or capital appreciation. 4.4. Regulatory status: GLYK is issued and made available on the basis that it is a governance and utility token and is not designed or intended to be a financial product, security, tokenized asset, or any other regulated instrument. However, regulatory treatment of digital assets varies across jurisdictions and may change over time. Neither LayerK nor any other Covered Person gives any assurance or guarantee as to how GLYK or participation in the LayerK DAO will be classified under any particular legal or regulatory regime. You are solely responsible for determining how GLYK and your participation in the LayerK DAO are treated under laws and regulations applicable to you, including any securities, financial services, tax, and exchange control laws, and for complying with all such requirements. ## 5. Governance Participation **5.1. Proposal Creation** 5.1.1. Eligible GLYK holders may submit governance proposals and vote, subject to configurable thresholds/parameters. 5.1.2. Each proposal must include a title, detailed description, voting duration, and IPFS CID (content identifier) for off-chain metadata (if applicable). 5.1.3. Proposal metadata is stored off‑chain (IPFS) and referenced on‑chain. **5.2. Moderation by GMC** 5.2.1. When a user submits a proposal, it enters a moderation queue and is not immediately written to the blockchain. 5.2.2. Any one GMC member may review the proposal and either approve or reject it. A single member’s decision is sufficient and final for the purposes of pre‑submission review. 5.2.3. The GMC has seventy‑two (72) hours from the time of submission to issue a decision. If no decision is made within this period, the proposal is automatically approved and proceeds to on‑chain submission for voting. 5.2.4. If a proposal is rejected, the proposer will be notified of the specific ground for rejection. The proposer may revise and resubmit the proposal at any time. 5.2.5. Permissible rejection grounds include: 5.2.5.1. Personal Identification – The proposal names or targets a specific individual or wallet address in a defamatory, harassing, or shaming manner. 5.2.5.2. Illegal Content – The proposal contains content that is illegal under widely applicable law, including threats of violence, doxxing, or incitement to hatred. 5.2.5.3. Off‑Protocol – The proposal has no conceivable relevance to the LayerK protocol, GLYK tokenomics, ecosystem governance, or treasury. 5.2.5.4. Duplicate Submission – An identical or substantively identical proposal is already active or was resolved within the last sixty (60) days. 5.2.5.5. Incoherent Submission – The proposal is entirely blank, consists only of symbols, or is clearly automated spam. No other basis for rejection is permitted. **5.3. Voting** 5.3.1. Votes are weighed by GLYK holdings and must satisfy quorum/approval criteria to pass. 5.3.2. All numerical minimums and time periods are configurable and may change without notice. **5.4. Execution** 5.4.1. Execution is conducted through the DAO smart contract and updates proposal status to “Executed” or an equivalent on-chain status. 5.4.2. Actions (e.g., treasury withdrawals, parameter changes, contract upgrades, and other governance-related operations) become effective only upon execution of a successful proposal through the applicable DAO smart contract. **5.5. On-Chain Precedence and Governance Finality:** 5.5.1. The LayerK DAO operates through blockchain‑based smart contracts and decentralized governance mechanisms. Certain governance actions, including proposal submission, voting, and execution of outcomes, occur autonomously on‑chain without human intervention. 5.5.2. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, governance actions validly executed through the relevant smart contracts in accordance with the DAO’s governance rules are treated as final and deterministically reflected on‑chain. Any subsequent changes or reversals generally require further on‑chain actions in accordance with those governance rules and cannot be achieved solely by off‑chain communications or agreements. 5.5.3. In the event of any inconsistency or conflict between (a) the state or outcomes recorded on‑chain by the relevant smart contracts and (b) any off‑chain information (including user interfaces, documentation, forum posts, or other communications), the on‑chain records and outcomes shall, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, prevail. 5.5.4. You acknowledge that blockchain‑based transactions and governance actions may be irreversible and that technical errors, exploits, or protocol failures may occur. You participate in DAO governance and interact with smart contracts at your own risk, subject always to any non‑waivable rights you may have under applicable law. ## 6.Access Requirements 6.1. Platform Access: governance functionality is accessible via the Homnifi platform. 6.2. Wallet Connectivity: Users must connect the same MetaMask wallet that is linked to their Homnifi account in order to access their GLYK balances and participate in LayerK DAO activities. 6.3. Self-Custody: Users are solely responsible for safeguarding their MetaMask wallet, private keys, and recovery phrases. Loss of access to the wallet results in permanent loss of associated GLYK and participation rights. Neither LayerK DAO nor Homnifi are responsible for or can recover lost credentials. LayerK DAO does not ever have custody, possession, or control of your digital assets at any time. It further means you are solely responsible for the custody of the cryptographic private keys to the digital asset wallets you hold, and you should never share your wallet credentials or recovery phrase with anyone. 6.4. Users confirm they are not located in, ordinarily resident in, or organized under the laws of any jurisdiction subject to comprehensive sanctions or embargoes, and that you are not a person or entity subject to sanctions administered by the United States, the United Kingdom, the European Union, the United Nations, or other applicable authorities. You are solely responsible for complying with all applicable sanctions and export control laws. ## 7. User Obligations and Responsibilities 7.1. Users are solely responsible for: (a) understanding the structure and functionality of the LayerK DAO and its smart contract functions; (b) securing their wallets/private keys; (c) independently reviewing all proposals and their content before voting; and (d) complying with all applicable laws and regulations (including those relating to taxation, anti-money laundering (AML), sanctions, and securities regulations) in their jurisdiction. 7.2. You hereby represent and warrant that you are fully able and competent to enter into the terms, conditions, obligations, affirmations, representations and warranties set forth in these Terms and to abide by and comply with these Terms.

Technical Risks: minting involves complex computer systems that may be vulnerable to software bugs, system failures, cyberattacks, and data breaches. Any such issues may lead to the loss of tokens, personal data breaches, or other unforeseen consequences. 2.1.2. Legal and Regulatory Risks: the legal and regulatory landscape governing blockchain technologies and digital assets is continuously evolving. Users are responsible for ensuring compliance with all applicable laws in their jurisdiction, including but not limited to tax laws, Anti-Money Laundering (AML) regulations, and Know-Your-Customer (KYC) requirements. Failure to comply may result in penalties, fines, or other legal liabilities. 2.1.3. Tax Risks: the creation and use of digital tokens through minting may have tax implications in various jurisdictions. You are responsible for determining and fulfilling your tax obligations, including but not limited to income tax, capital gains tax, and any other applicable taxes. LayerK does not provide tax advice, and you should consult with a qualified tax professional to understand your responsibilities. Failure to comply with tax obligations could result in fines, penalties, or other legal consequences. 2.1.4. Market Risks: the value of minted tokens is highly volatile and may fluctuate due to market conditions, regulatory developments, macroeconomic factors, or speculative actions by third parties. Users assume full responsibility for any financial losses resulting from market volatility. 2.1.5. Operational Risks: minting operations may be impacted by external factors beyond LayerK’s control, such as power outages, hardware malfunctions, network congestion, or third-party service disruptions. 2.1.6. Cybersecurity Risks: Despite robust security measures, cloud minting and hardware minting remain exposed to cybersecurity threats. Attacks on your system, the blockchain, or LayerK’s infrastructure could result in loss or theft of minted tokens. 2.2. LayerK does not guarantee the success or profitability of minting efforts conducted through the CloudK Protocol. Users should understand that the value of minted tokens is speculative and may result in losses. LayerK assumes no responsibility for any financial or non-financial damages arising from minting activities. 2.3. By accessing or using the CloudK Protocol, you acknowledge that minting involves complex, speculative, and potentially high-risk transactions. You voluntarily assume all risks associated with these activities and acknowledge that you are participating at your own discretion. 2.4.

Legal and Regulatory Risks: the legal and regulatory landscape governing blockchain technologies and digital assets is continuously evolving. Users are responsible for ensuring compliance with all applicable laws in their jurisdiction, including but not limited to tax laws, Anti-Money Laundering (AML) regulations, and Know-Your-Customer (KYC) requirements. Failure to comply may result in penalties, fines, or other legal liabilities. 2.1.3. **Tax Risks:** the minting and use of tokens may have tax implications in various jurisdictions. You are responsible for determining and fulfilling your tax obligations, including but not limited to income tax, capital gains tax, and other applicable taxes. LayerK does not provide tax advice, and you should consult with a qualified tax professional to understand your responsibilities. Failure to comply with tax obligations may result in fines, penalties, or other legal consequences. 2.1.4. Market Risks: the value of minted tokens is highly volatile and may fluctuate due to market conditions, regulatory developments, macroeconomic factors, or speculative actions by third parties. Users assume full responsibility for any financial losses resulting from market volatility. 2.1.5. Operational Risks: minting operations may be impacted by external factors beyond LayerK’s control, such as network congestion, power outages, hardware failures, or third-party service disruptions. 2.1.6.

INTRODUCTION This is the Risk Disclosure Policy (“**Policy**”) of LayerK Group LTD, a company incorporated in the British Virgin Islands (“**LayerK**”). This Policy outlines the potential risks involved in accessing and using all parts of the website and services branded offered by LayerK and referring to the domain (“**Platform**”) as well as the blockchain developed by LayerK (“**LayerK** **Chain**”). It is important to carefully review this document to fully understand the limitations, liabilities, and uncertainties that may arise. By accessing and using the Platform and the LayerK Chain, you acknowledge and agree that you have read, understood, and accepted all risks outlined herein. While this Policy aims to outline the primary risks, it does not provide an exhaustive explanation of all possible risks, nor does it address how these risks specifically pertain to individual circumstances. Last Updated: **November 2025** ### II. GENERAL RISKS #### 1. Platform Availability and Reliability LayerK provides access to the Platform and its services on an "as is" and "as available" basis. No guarantees are made concerning the uninterrupted availability of the Platform or its features. Disruptions may occur, including but not limited to server issues, maintenance downtimes, network failures, or unforeseen events beyond the control of LayerK or its partners. #### 2. No Warranties LayerK explicitly disclaims any and all warranties, whether express, implied, statutory, or otherwise, related to the Platform and its services. This includes, but is not limited to: (a) Implied Warranties of Merchantability and Fitness for a Particular Purpose: no guarantee is made that the Platform will meet your specific needs or perform at the level you expect. (b) Non-Infringement: LayerK does not warrant that the Platform will not infringe on the intellectual property rights of third parties. (c) Freedom from Harmful Elements: the Platform does not guarantee the absence of viruses, malware, or other potentially harmful components. (d) Performance Consistency: no assurances are made regarding the accuracy, reliability, or completeness of the results obtained from using the Platform. #### 3. Technological Risks (a) Software Compatibility: users should ensure their devices, operating systems, and software are compatible with the Platform and the LayerK Chain. Any failure to meet these technical requirements could result in service disruption or failure to access services. (b) Outdated Software: Use of outdated software or failure to keep software updated may expose users to security vulnerabilities and reduce functionality. #### 4. Risks Related to User Behavior (a) User-Generated Errors: incorrect wallet addresses, transaction parameters, or other data inputs by users may lead to irreversible losses. LayerK is not liable for any errors caused by users when interacting with the Platform or the LayerK Chain. (b) User Inaction: failure to act in a timely manner in response to requests for transaction confirmations, security verifications, or network adjustments may result in failed transactions or potential loss of funds. ### III. RISKS RELATED TO BLOCKCHAIN TECHNOLOGY #### 1. Smart Contracts and Governance Risks Some of the services offered by LayerK operate via smart contracts deployed on the LayerK Chain. These smart contracts are immutable and cannot be altered or reversed once executed. Although LayerK initially developed the code for the LayerK Chain, it neither controls nor manages the operation of the smart contracts, which are governed by the LayerK Chain token holders (GLYK governance token) in a decentralized manner. Potential risks include: (a) Vulnerabilities in Smart Contracts: smart contracts may have coding errors or bugs that could be exploited, leading to unforeseen issues, including but not limited to loss of funds. (b) Governance Uncertainty: the decentralized governance of the LayerK Chain means that future changes or upgrades to the protocol may not align with your interests or may introduce new risks. #### 2. Blockchain-Specific Risks (a) Transaction Finality: transactions executed on the blockchain are irreversible. Any errors in transaction details, such as incorrect wallet addresses or amounts, cannot be corrected or undone. (b) Network Congestion: delays or failures in transaction processing may occur due to high levels of network activity or congestion. (c) Blockchain Forks: the blockchain upon which LayerK operates may experience forks, resulting in duplicate or conflicting versions of the LayerK Chain’s apps and services. (d) Consensus Failure: there is a risk that the underlying LayerK Chain network may fail to reach consensus, leading to transaction failures or delays. (e) Data Retention and Deletion: users should be aware of data retention policies and understand that once certain data is stored on a blockchain, it may be immutable and unable to be deleted. Users are encouraged to avoid sharing personal or sensitive information that cannot be changed or deleted. ### IV. RISKS TO DIGITAL ASSETS AND CRYPTOCURRENCIES #### 1. Market and Financial Risks The value of cryptocurrencies, tokens, and digital assets is highly volatile and unpredictable. Market conditions, regulatory changes, and other external factors can result in significant price fluctuations. Users engaging in transactions on the LayerK Chain should be aware of the following: (a) Token Value Volatility: the value of cryptocurrencies and digital tokens, including vLayerK tokens, may experience rapid and substantial changes, resulting in potential loss of capital. (b) Liquidity Risks: certain tokens or digital assets may have limited liquidity, making it difficult to buy or sell them in the market. (c) Total Loss Risk: users should only allocate or trade with amounts they are prepared to lose entirely, as there is no guarantee of returns or protection against loss. (d) Token Delisting: there is a risk that certain tokens, including vLayerK tokens, may be delisted from third-party exchanges or trading platforms, making it difficult to trade or exchange such tokens. #### 2. Security Risks While LayerK strives to maintain the security of its Platform and LayerK Chain, no system is entirely immune from hacking or unauthorized access. Risks include, but are not limited to: (a) Private Key Mismanagement: users are responsible for securing their private keys and other access credentials. Loss or theft of a private key can result in the permanent loss of digital assets. (b) Non-Custodial Nature: users of the Platform and LayerK Chain are responsible for managing their private keys and other credentials. As the system is non-custodial, LayerK does not have access to or control over users' wallets or assets. Loss of access credentials may result in permanent loss of funds or digital assets. (c) Backup and Redundancy: users are encouraged to implement secure backup and redundancy solutions for their private keys and other sensitive information. Loss of such backups may lead to unrecoverable losses. (d) Phishing and Social Engineering Attacks: users may be targeted by phishing scams or social engineering attacks, leading to unauthorized access to their accounts or digital assets. (e) Security Breaches: LayerK is not responsible for any unauthorized access, hacks, or security breaches that result in the loss of funds, personal data, or other valuable assets. ### V. OPERATIONAL RISKS #### 1. Technical Failures The Platform, like any digital service, is subject to technical failures, including but not limited to: (a) System Bugs or Errors: software bugs, technical malfunctions, or network issues may disrupt the functioning of the Platform. (b) Service Interruptions: unplanned downtime, maintenance periods, or force majeure events may result in temporary or permanent unavailability of the Platform or its services. (c) Data Corruption or Loss: LayerK does not guarantee the integrity of data and is not liable for the loss or corruption of data, including personal information or transaction records. Users should take their own steps to protect sensitive data #### 2. Third-Party Dependencies The Platform and LayerK Chain may integrate with or rely on third-party services, tools, or technologies. Risks associated with third-party dependencies include: (a) Service Disruptions: failures or disruptions in third-party services (e.g., oracles, wallets, exchanges) may negatively impact the Platform or the LayerK Chain. (b) Third-Party Liability: LayerK is not responsible for the actions, omissions, or failures of third-party service providers. ### VI. REGULATORY AND LEGAL RISKS #### 1. Regulatory Uncertainty The legal and regulatory framework for blockchain technology, cryptocurrencies, and digital platforms is evolving and subject to change. Risks related to regulatory uncertainty include: (a) Legal Compliance: users are responsible for ensuring their compliance with all applicable laws and regulations in their jurisdiction. (b) Potential Restrictions: regulatory changes may restrict or prohibit the use of blockchain-based services, including the Platform and the LayerK Chain, in certain regions or for specific activities. (c) Taxation and Reporting: users should be aware that they may be required to report and pay taxes on cryptocurrency transactions, and failure to do so could result in legal penalties. #### 2. Jurisdictional Risks The decentralized nature of blockchain technology means that the LayerK Chain may be used by individuals in multiple jurisdictions. Users should be aware of the legal implications of their activities and transactions in their local jurisdiction. LayerK does not provide legal advice, and it is the User’s responsibility to ensure compliance with local laws. ### VII. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY LayerK and its affiliates, partners, and service providers shall not be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, special, punitive, or consequential damages arising out of or related to your use or inability to use the Platform and the LayerK Chain. This includes, but is not limited to: (i) Loss of Profits or Revenue: losses resulting from the volatility of cryptocurrencies or digital assets. (ii) Loss of Data: the loss of personal information or transaction records due to technical failures, security breaches, or user errors. (iii) Loss of Digital Assets: any loss of cryptocurrencies, tokens, or other digital assets due to errors, hacks, or unauthorized access. ### VIII. TAX DECLARATION AND DISCLAIMER 1.
