Our Strategy

Abaxx is a development-stage financial technology company that has created proprietary technological infrastructure for both global commodity exchanges and the digital marketplace. The company's proprietary technology is aimed at increasing transaction velocity, data security, and facilitating improved risk management for commodity exchanges, including Abaxx's majority-owned subsidiary, Abaxx Singapore Pte. Ltd. ("AEX", or "Abaxx Exchange"), which operates a commodity futures exchange that is seeking final regulatory approvals as a Recognized Market Operator ("RMO") and Approved Clearing House ("ACH") with the Monetary Authority of Singapore ("MAS"). Abaxx is a technology company engaged in development and deployment of trust enabling Internet protocols. The Abaxx corporate mandate includes accelerating commerce and reducing exposure to risk in targeted global industries. Abaxx commenced its business operations in January 2018.

The Company has developed a business strategy comprised of core components: (i) investing in new internet communication protocols and proprietary financial software architecture with a vision for global commodity market trading; and (ii) commercializing the majority-owned commodity futures exchange and clearing house utilizing Abaxx technology, including foundational products in new liquified natural gas ("LNG") benchmark contracts, a new market structure vision for precious metals and battery metals markets, and new initiatives for enhancing Environmental, Social, and Governance ("ESG") related markets and data. Consistent with its innovative and fresh approach, Abaxx is listed on the NEO Exchange (NEO:ABXX) as well as the OTCQX (OTCQX:ABXXF), and provides its shareholders with the potential for significant long-term value creation.

The Company is also developing new proprietary software and middleware as well as adding some third-party vendor technology to its existing suite. This software augments and provides additional functionalities previously unavailable. These additional modifications will be suitable for Abaxx Exchange and Clearing operations, and will provide an excellent opportunity for alpha testing prior to full operational abilities.

The Abaxx vision for Global Commodity Market Trading Infrastructure 3.0, which Abaxx describes as the "Commoditization of Trust®", is a software architecture which is natively comprised of emerging software technologies which utilize novel machine learning and blockchain-like algorithms including deep learning and natural language processing ("DL/NPL"), self-sovereign

digital identity ("ssdID"), encrypted content-addressing distributed file systems, smart contracting languages and protocols, and distributed ledger and decentralized datastore technology (DLT/DDS).

As a development stage business, the Company has generated eleven (11) process and software user interface patent applications. The Company has also engineered a foundational internet ssdID and messaging protocol called "ID++", and developed alpha-stage software applications (e.g., Abaxx Console) using the Commoditization of Trust architecture in the fields of:

  • ssdID based verified-credential management, authentication, and identity and access management (IDAM);

  • end-to-end encrypted and compliant financial messaging and video chat, with enhanced deep learning and natural language processing applications;

  • multi-cloud storage of financial data using encrypted content-addressing distributed file systems;

  • ssdID-enabled electronic document and smart contract signing; and

  • digital-contract custody and other financial workflow management applications.

Abaxx intends to commercialize its software technology suite and the Software and IP Portfolio through business to business ("B2B") strategic partnerships, where emerging technologies can be applied to specific markets heavily reliant on transactional transparency, transaction execution velocity, and compliance with stringent data regulation requirements.

Abaxx Technologies currently holds a gross revenue royalty over AEX in exchange for the licensed use of its proprietary software (including use of its intellectual property and), seeks to expand this software licensing and intellectual property royalty model into other financial service segments. While Abaxx expects to generate revenue from the licensure of its software and royalties via Abaxx Technologies, Abaxx is still in its development stage, and does not currently generate substantial revenue.
