WHITE PAPER
Blockchain Ecosystems
1st June 2018Version 1.0
HWGG CAPITAL P.L.C
HWGG Capital P.L.C’s vision is to have assets on blockchain be not only available to industry insiders,
but rather something that can be used by any individual in the “real world”.
Additionally, with the emergence of more and more different tokens, a growing number of users and
businesses truly struggle to leverage on the existing infrastructure to make this interconnectedness of
physical and virtual platforms become a reality.
At HWGG Capital P.L.C’s, we strive to offer the user access to as large as possible a range of blockchain
assets at a maximum degree of convenience, while adhering to the highest security standards in the
ecosystem.
We are able to do this by integrating the blockchain technologies, introducing HWG Cash Tokens, a
wallet payment app, leveraging on our network of online/offline businesses, remittance/currency
exchange providers and digital currency exchange platforms to form a solid, worldwide, instantaneous
and low-cost manner blockchain ecosystem.
To the end-user, we offer the HwgX app, a blockchain payment system which wallet system that can be
funded not only with blockchain assets such as Ethereum (ETH) and HWG Cash as currently possible,
but also with virtually any blockchain asset in time to come.
Moreover, users and businesses can exchange their blockchain assets seamlessly from one user to
another in a lightning fast, secure and decentralized manner, removing any risk that is usually associated
with centralized solutions.
Aside from that, our company will be introducing a stable fiat-pegged blockchain asset which we believe
is the solution to the current barrier of blockchain assets adoption in the market. The main point that we
are addressing here is the inability to do blockchain assets settlement quickly and safely due market
risks such as high volatility in pricing and unstable liquidity.

Introduction
HWGG Capital P.L.C“Spendable blockchain assets at the tips of your finger”
01
HWGG Capital P.L.C is founded in mid 2017, based in Federal Territory of Labuan, Malaysia. One of the
reason we chose Federal Territory of Labuan as the base for the company is due to:
• Malaysia is one of fastest developing nation in the world. • The Bank Negara of Malaysia is, in our view, open to the development of new blockchain solution
providers in the fintech industry. • Labuan Financial Services Authority provides relevant licenses and approvals for the conduct of
cryptocurrencies projects. • Southeast Asia is a market with huge growth potential. • Federal Territory of Labuan welcomes businesses with international market exposure.

The HwgX Wallet
BLOCKCHAIN ECOSYSTEMS 03
The HwgX Wallet is an initiative from
HWGGC to introduce blockchain
assets spending through users’
smartphone. Paired with the company’s own
utility blockchain asset, HWG Cash, it is our
vision to bring blockchain assets spending into
the mainstream and be accessible to the public.
The first version of HwgX will focus on storage
and transferability with additional function to be
updated later in the project roadmap.
HWG
We aim to launch the HwgX app, downloadable
for iOS and Android devices for free, from
August to September 2018 (with the specific
launch dates being subject to achievement of
the relevant milestones). Once the user has
downloaded the HwgX app, he/she can set up an
account by only entering his/her preferred
password. Smooth, simple, and safe.
The HwgX wallet is created for storing
and usage of cryptocurrencies only and
does not hold any fiat currencies at the
moment. However, it is in the pipeline of
our HWG LIVE project that we will enable
users to convert their cryptocurrencies
to fiat currency upon securing the
appropriate partners. Further, the user
can conveniently convert a range of
blockchain assets such as Ethereum,
HWG Cash and HWG LIVE from one to
another by simply using the HwgX Wallet.
A multi-cryptocurrency wallet will be created automatically, which the users can instantly fund in
using Ethereum (ETH), HWG Cash (HWGC) and any other ERC-20 Compliant tokens. The private
key to each HwgX Wallet is generated and attached to users’ mobile phones, thereby allowing users
to store their own private keys for enhanced security purposes.
BLOCKCHAIN ECOSYSTEMS 04
BLOCKCHAIN ECOSYSTEMS 05
A digital token backed by asset provides individuals and organizations with a robust, secure and
decentralized method of exchanging value while using a familiar accounting unit. Common reasons for
the limited mainstream use of blockchain assets are the lack of knowledge of the technology, insufficient
ease-of-use for non-technical users, and volatile fluctuation in pricing, making it almost impossible to be
used for instant settlements.
While HwgX Wallet is designed with ease of use in mind, HWG Cash is leveraging on the Ethereum
blockchain technology, to transact in familiar, less volatile manner. All HWG Cash tokens are ERC-20
Compliant, issued on the Ethereum decentralized smart contract platform so they exist as a smart
contract token. Each HWG Cash unit issued into circulation is backed in a one-to-one ratio (ie. One
HWGC : One USD) by the corresponding fiat currency unit held in deposit by our licensed entity HWGG
Capital P.L.C.
HWG Cash: Integrated digital-to-fiat currency on Ethereum blockchain
Our implementation has the following advantages for our users:
• HWG Cash is an ERC20 Compliant token that is built on the Ethereum blockchain, a popular decentralized platform that runs smart contracts: applications that run exactly as programmed without any possibility of downtime, censorship, fraud or third-party interference.
• HWG Cash can be used just like other cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin and Ethereum, ie. In a p2p, pseudo-anonymous, decentralized, cryptographically secure environment.
• HWG Cash can be integrated with merchants, exchanges and ERC-20 Compliant wallets.
• Assets exchanged for HWG Cash are held by HWGG Capital P.L.C, a regulated entity under the Labuan Financial Services Authority, licensed for fiat/cryptocurrency broking and issuance
of credit token.
• HWG Cash’s one-to-one backing implementation is easier for non-technical users to understand as opposed to collateralization techniques or derivative strategies.
• HWG Cash can be easily utilized by users and implemented by merchants/vendors to facilitate payment settlements without having to bear the volatility of price fluctuation.
• HWG Cash provides liquidity for blockchain asset users in the Asia region.
HWG Cash
Users can purchase HWG Cash from HWGG Capital P.L.C directly (issuance through our mobile app) or
from supported exchanges such as VHCEx who supports HWG Cash as a deposit and withdrawal
method. Users can also transact and store HWG Cash with any ERC-20 Compliant enabled wallet like
HwgX. Exchanges, wallets, merchants and vendors are encouraged to reach out to us about integrating
HWG Cash as a payment solution.
Here is review of each layer.
1) The first layer is the Ethereum decentralized smart contract. The HWGC transactional ledger is
embedded in the Ethereum blockchain as meta-data, with its nodes storing the most recent state
of each smart contract
2) The second layer is the HwgX Wallet. HwgX wallet implements a foundational technology that can: • Decentralized blockchain wallet with private key stored in users’ devices for personal securities.
• Track and report the circulation of HWG Cash via HwgX transaction history and in the Ethereum network via https://etherscan.io • Enable users to transact and store HWG Cash and other blockchain assets in a: • 2P, pseudo-anonymouse, cryptographically secure environment. • Multi-signature 3) The third layer is HWGG Capital P.L.C’s compliance to Labuan Financial Services Authority’s regulation and guideline for: • Accepting fiat deposits and issuing the corresponding credit token: HWG Cash • Sending fiat withdrawals and revoking the corresponding credit token: HWG Cash
• Grant (creat) and revoke (destroy) digital tokens represented as meta-data embedded in the Ethereum blockchain; in this case, asset backed digital tokens, HWG Cash. • Custody of the fiat reserves that back all HWG Cash in circulation
• Initiating and managing integration with existing blockchain wallets, exchanges and merchants (including currency exchanger and remittance providers)

The Flow of Funds diagram illustrates that HWGG Capital P.L.C is the only party who can issue HWG Cash
into circulation (create) and take them out of circulation (destroy) to ensure system solvency is
maintained.
User deposits fiat currency to HWGG
Capital P.L.C’s bank account.
HWG Cash will be generated and credits
to the user’s HwgX wallet. HWG Cash
circulating supply increases. Amount of
fiat currency deposited by user = amount
of HWG Cash issued to user (ie. USD
10,000 deposited = HWG Cash 10,000
issued)
Users transact with HWG Cash. The
users can transfer, exchange and store
HWG Cash via HwgX app or any ERC-20
compliant wallet.
The user deposits HWG Cash with
HWGG Capital P.L.C for redemption
into fiat currency.
HWGG Capital P.L.C sends fiat currency

Entertainment, Travel, Rewards and More
BLOCKCHAIN ECOSYSTEMS 08
HWGG Capital P.L.C is a part of the Ho Wah Genting Group of companies. Our group’s experience and
foundation were built from the travel and entertainment industry itself, catering to end market users
with different needs and wants ranging from budget to luxurious tailored program.
For many years we have been offering exclusive travel products, entertainment packages and rewarding
membership programs to the mass market. With increased competition in the travel and entertainment
industries, we believe innovation and adaption to new technologies are essential to keep our business
ahead of the tide.
With the launch of HwgX Wallet app and introducing our fiat-pegged HWG Cash tokens, we are in the
right path to incorporate the world of travel and entertainment with fintech for the benefit and
convenience of end-users.
Being a travel agency and junket operator ourselves, the company and associated partners will enable
the acceptance of HWG Cash as payment solution for all our products and services at launch. Users will
be able to utilize HWG Cash to transact for purchasing of tailor-made travel packages or even for
entertainment services provided by our partnering entities such as the Resorts World Manila,
Starcruises, Genting Dream and many more!
Exciting Travel Destinations
In line with our project roadmap, we will be launching a merchant payment system into the HwgX
ecosystem to provide users with more option and avenue of spending their blockchain assets aside from
travel and entertainment. Online and offline business would be able to use HwgX as a platform for
blockchain assets payment settlement to further expand their business without having to worry about
market risks such as price fluctuation and liquidity.

On top of that, our HWG Cash tokens can be used as paired cryptocurrencies for exchanges. Exchange
operators understand that accepting fiat deposits and withdrawals using legacy financial systems can be
complicated, risky, slow, and expensive.
By offering HWG Cash, an exchange can relieve themselves of the above complications and gain
additional benefits, such as:
• Accept HWG Cash as deposit/withdrawal/storage method rather than using a legacy bank or payment provider
• Allows users to move fiat in and out of exchange more freely, quickly, cheaply
• Outsource fiat custodial risk to HWGG Capital P.L.C
• Easily add HWG Cash as trading pairs to the platform
• Secure customer assets purely through accepted crypto¬processes
• Multi¬signature security, cold and hot wallets, HD wallets, etc
• Conduct audits easier and more securely in a purely crypto environment
Exchange users know how risky it can be to hold fiat currencies on an exchange. With the growing
number of insolvency events it can be quite dangerous. As mentioned previously, we believe that using
HWG Cash exposes exchange users to less counterparty risk than continually holding fiat on exchanges.
