boolean true Warning

This summary should be read as an introduction to the crypto-asset white paper.

The prospective holder should base any decision to purchase this crypto –asset on the content of the crypto-asset white paper as a whole and not on the summary alone.

The offer to the public of this crypto-asset does not constitute an offer or solicitation to purchase financial instruments and any such offer or solicitation can be made only by means of a prospectus or other offer documents pursuant to the applicable national law.

This crypto-asset white paper does not constitute a prospectus as referred to in Regulation (EU) 2017/1129 of the European Parliament and of the Council or any other offer document pursuant to Union or national law.


08 Characteristics of the crypto-asset
textBlock The YNG token (YNG) is the native ERC-20 utility token of the Young Platform ecosystem. It has been designed to provide functional access to specific services and benefits offered through the Young Platform ecosystem, rather than to serve as a speculative or investment instrument.

The core function of the YNG token is to enable access to the "YNG Clubs", a multi-tiered benefits system operated by Young Platform S.p.A. By locking a predefined quantity of YNG tokens on the platform, holders may access different tiers of services and advantages, in accordance with the rules and conditions established by the issuer.

The YNG token does not constitute an asset-referenced token or an e-money token within the meaning of Regulation (EU) 2023/1114. It does not represent equity, debt, or any other financial instrument, nor does it confer ownership rights, governance or voting rights, profit participation rights, or claims against the issuer or any third party.

From a technical perspective, the YNG token is implemented as a smart contract compliant with the ERC-20 standard and deployed on the Ethereum blockchain. The token's characteristics, including supply structure, issuance mechanics, and operational constraints, are described in greater detail in the relevant sections of this crypto-asset white paper.


09 Further information about utility tokens
textBlock The utility of the YNG token consists in granting access to a tiered range of services and benefits within the Young Platform ecosystem through the YNG Clubs mechanism. Depending on the quantity of YNG tokens locked, holders may obtain benefits such as reduced trading fees, enhanced staking rewards, and other platform-related advantages, as further detailed in this white paper.

Access to these utilities is subject to specific conditions, including the completion of mandatory know-your-customer (KYC) procedures and the locking of YNG tokens on the Young Platform ecosystem for the duration required to maintain the selected benefits tier. During the lock-in period, the locked tokens are subject to a temporary restriction on transferability.

Outside the voluntary locking mechanism associated with the YNG Clubs, YNG tokens are freely transferable, in whole or in part, to third parties in accordance with the technical rules of the Ethereum blockchain and the operational policies of the trading platforms on which the token is admitted to trading. All rights and obligations attached to the token follow the token upon transfer.

The transferability of the YNG token does not imply that it is accepted as a means of payment, nor does it guarantee liquidity, market demand, or the availability of trading venues


10 Key information about the offer to the public or admission to trading
textBlock This crypto-asset white paper has been prepared for the admission to trading of the YNG token on crypto-asset trading platforms, in accordance with Regulation (EU) 2023/1114. It does not relate to a current offer of crypto-assets to the public.

The YNG token was initially introduced to the public through a community sale conducted in 2022. That distribution phase was completed prior to the preparation of this crypto-asset white paper and is described solely for historical and contextual purposes. It does not constitute, and should not be interpreted as, an ongoing or future offer of crypto-assets.

Following the initial distribution, the YNG token was admitted to trading and is currently available for secondary market transactions on the Young Platform ecosystem and on decentralised trading protocols. The admission to trading is intended to facilitate transactions between holders, subject to the rules of the relevant trading platforms and applicable regulatory requirements.

No guarantee is provided as to the availability, continuity, or liquidity of trading in the YNG token, nor as to future listings on additional trading venues.

By locking a predefined quantity of YNG tokens on the Young Platform ecosystem, users may access differentiated levels of services and advantages within the platform.

Future plans for the YNG token are closely aligned with the strategic development of Young Platform S.p.A. and the expansion of its services.

2.     Locking the tokens in a chosen benefits tier (after KYC);
3.     Automatically receiving the associated perks.

The issuer makes no contractual or statutory promise that the utility associated with the YNG token will continue to be provided, nor that its scope or value will remain unchanged. The provision of such utility is discretionary and does not create a redemption obligation in favour of the holder.


G.9 Non-trading request
boolean true

G.10 Other tokens purchase or sale modalities
text Purchases and sales primarily occur on secondary markets, via centralized or decentralized platforms where YNG is admitted to trading. In a non-discretionary manner, Young Platform may enter into agreements that assign YNG as a bonus pursuant to relevant purchases of YNG.

Historically, the Issuer has implemented incentive mechanisms granting bonus YNG conditional upon specific vesting or lock-up periods. The Issuer reserves the right to introduce similar vesting-based bonus structures in the future to align long-term interests within the ecosystem.

Furthermore, the Issuer reserves the right to execute Over-The-Counter (OTC) sales for significant amounts or strategic purposes, to support project development and ecosystem growth. Additional details regarding such transactions are available directly from the Issuer.


G.11 Other tokens transfer restrictions
text There are no protocol-level restrictions on YNG token transfers. However:

(i)     When tokens are locked for YNG Clubs utility, they become temporarily non-transferable.
(ii)     Once unlocked, transferability is fully restored.
(iii)     No cooldowns or penalties apply outside the lock-in.

For additional information on transfer restrictions pursuant to locking, holders may contact the Issuer and/or access the Issuer's platform.


G.12 Supply adjustment protocols
boolean false

G.13 Supply adjustment mechanisms
text No – the total supply is fixed. The smart contract does not include minting or burning functions.

(i)     Is discretionary (not contractual);
(ii)     Is not a price guarantee;
(iii)     Can be suspended or terminated at any time.

The buyback mechanism operated by the issuer is discretionary, non-binding and may be altered, suspended or terminated at any time. It does not constitute a contractual undertaking, liquidity guarantee, or price support measure. The issuer reserves full discretion over the allocation of treasury funds to such purposes.


G.16 Compensation schemes
boolean false

G.17 Compensation schemes description
textBlock Not applicable – the YNG token is outside the scope of Directive 97/9/EC or Directive 2014/49/EU.

Part H – Information on underlying technology



H.1 Distributed ledger technology (DTL)
text The crypto-asset (YNG) is a token compatible with the ERC-20 standard. It does not operate on its own proprietary blockchain but relies entirely on the Ethereum blockchain as its underlying Distributed Ledger Technology (DLT).

- DLT Type: The Ethereum network is a public, decentralized, and permissionless distributed ledger.
- Consensus Mechanism: The network operates on a Proof-of-Stake (PoS) consensus mechanism.
- Transaction Validation: All YNG token transactions (such as peer-to-peer transfers) are broadcast to the Ethereum network. They are subsequently validated by the distributed network of Ethereum validators, bundled into blocks, and permanently and immutably recorded on this public ledger.


H.2 Protocols and technical standards
text Underlying Protocol (DLT): Ethereum (Proof-of-Stake).
Token Technical Standard: The YNG token is a smart contract that strictly adheres to the ERC-20 (EIP-20) technical standard.


H.3 Technology used
textBlock Custodial (Young Platform) Environment: YNG tokens deposited on the Young Platform ecosystem are held in the issuer's institutional-grade custodial solution to ensure a high standard of security and asset protection.

Transferring (Internal): All transfers within the Young Platform ecosystem - such as a user moving YNG from their spot wallet to the "YNG Club" utility-locking mechanism - are processed off-chain. These transactions are recorded instantly on the issuer's proprietary internal ledger (a centralized database) and do not incur any Ethereum network "gas" fees for the user. Withdrawals from the platform to an external wallet are processed as standard on-chain transactions.


H.4 Consensus mechanism
text The YNG token, as a standard ERC-20 smart contract, does not operate its own consensus mechanism. It relies entirely on the consensus mechanism of the distributed ledger technology it is built upon, which is the Ethereum blockchain.

H.5 Incentive mechanisms and applicable fees
text The YNG token is an ERC-20 smart contract and does not operate its own proprietary blockchain. Therefore, it relies entirely on the incentive mechanisms and fee structure of the Ethereum network to secure transactions

H.6 Use of distributed ledger technology
boolean true

H.7 DLT functionality description
textBlock Not applicable – The YNG token's utility is not enforced through smart contract automation. Core functionalities such as membership benefits and fee discounts are applied by the issuer through its proprietary platform infrastructure. The blockchain functionality of the YNG token is limited to ERC-20 standard compliance and on-chain transferability. All token-linked utility features are managed off-chain and do not benefit from smart contract-level automation or on-chain enforceability.

Other token audit details



H.8 Audit
boolean true

H.9 Audit outcome
textBlock The audit (penetration test) resulted in the identification of minor vulnerabilities only, all of which were promptly remediated by the technical team.

Part I - Information on risks



I.1 Offer-related risks
textBlock The acquisition of and trading in YNG tokens involves significant risks. Prospective purchasers and holders should carefully consider the following:

(i)     Price Volatility: The market price of YNG may be highly volatile and subject to rapid fluctuations driven by changes in market sentiment, macroeconomic events, or developments in the broader crypto-asset space.

(ii)     Uncertain Regulatory Environment: The crypto-asset industry is exposed to an evolving regulatory framework. The full implementation of MiCAR and other EU or national regulations may introduce new restrictions or obligations that affect YNG's transferability, tradability, or legal treatment.

(iii)     Technical and Security Risks: YNG, as an ERC-20 token on Ethereum, is exposed to risks related to smart contract vulnerabilities, blockchain-level attacks, or systemic faults within the Ethereum network.

(iv)     Ecosystem Dependency: The utility of YNG is closely tied to the operational performance and reputation of the Young Platform exchange. Any material disruption to the platform or loss of user confidence could adversely affect YNG's market value and utility.


I.2 Issuer-related risks
textBlock Business and Sector Risks: The issuer operates in a competitive and highly volatile sector. Market downturns, declining interest in digital assets, or technological obsolescence may impair its business operations.

Financial and Operational Risks: The issuer's financial condition is dependent on its ability to generate sustainable revenues and manage growth. Operational risks include reliance on internal systems, key personnel, and third-party service providers.

Regulatory and Legal Risks: Changes in applicable law, including MiCAR and AML/CFT frameworks, may require operational changes, additional licensing, or expose the issuer to compliance costs and enforcement risk. The issuer's success is also dependent on sound governance and regulatory alignment.


I.3 Other tokens-related risks
textBlock Price Instability and Volatility: YNG is not pegged to any fiat currency or tangible asset and may experience significant and unpredictable value fluctuations. Its market price is highly sensitive to external events, including regulatory developments, shifts in global investor sentiment, and the performance of the broader crypto-asset market (e.g., Bitcoin and Ethereum price movements). Holders should be aware that these factors may result in a partial or total loss of the value of their YNG tokens, regardless of the operational success of Young Platform.

Utility features are discretionary and subject to change. The issuer may modify or suspend the benefits framework (e.g. trading discounts, staking boosts) at any time, which could affect the perceived value or attractiveness of the token. Holders should be aware that the functional value of the YNG token may be derived from platform-dependent utilities which are not guaranteed and may be amended, replaced, or discontinued at the issuer's discretion. No assurance is provided as to the continued existence, relevance or usability of such functions in the future.

Liquidity and Secondary Market Risk: There is no guarantee that an active or liquid secondary market for YNG will emerge or be sustained. Even if YNG is listed on trading venues, periods of low trading volume may occur, resulting in wide bid-ask spreads and price slippage. Consequently, holders may not be able to sell or exit their positions rapidly or at their desired price point without incurring significant losses. Furthermore, the token may be subject to delisting from trading venues, which would severely impact its liquidity and marketability.

Technological and Operational Risks: YNG is issued on the Ethereum blockchain and is subject to risks inherent to Distributed Ledger Technology (DLT), including network congestion, high transaction fees ("gas fees"), and potential consensus mechanism failures or "forks." Additionally, while smart contracts may be audited, they remain susceptible to undiscovered vulnerabilities, bugs, or exploits that could lead to the theft or freezing of assets. Furthermore, as the primary utility of YNG is integrated within the centralized Young Platform ecosystem, holders are exposed to operational risks specific to the Issuer's infrastructure. System outages, hardware failures, or security breaches affecting the centralized platform may disrupt trading activities and temporarily or permanently restrict access to YNG utilities and benefits.

Utility, Adoption, and Project Risk: The value and demand for YNG are intrinsically linked to the continued growth, adoption, and commercial success of the Young Platform ecosystem. A failure to expand the user base, increased competition in the crypto-exchange market, or a reputational loss for the Issuer could significantly reduce demand for the token. Moreover, the Issuer reserves the right to modify the features, benefits, or reward tiers associated with YNG to ensure business sustainability. Such changes could negatively impact the perceived utility and market value of the token.

Custodial and Security Risk: The safeguarding of YNG involves distinct risks depending on the storage method chosen:

Self-Custody: Holders managing their own private keys assume full responsibility; the loss of private keys or access credentials, as well as phishing attacks or malware on personal devices, will result in the irreversible loss of the assets.

Third-Party Custody: Holders keeping YNG on centralized exchanges or custodial wallets are exposed to counterparty risk. This includes the risk of the custodian's insolvency, bankruptcy, technical failures, or cyber-security breaches, which could lead to the loss of the assets held on the user's behalf.


I.4 Project implementation-related risks
textBlock Adoption and Competitive Risk: If the YNG utility model fails to attract users or is outcompeted by alternative token models or platforms, demand may decline.

Regulatory Implementation Risk: As MiCAR and related regulations evolve, the issuer may be required to adjust the project's design, distribution mechanisms, or token features, potentially disrupting planned functionalities.


I.5 Technology-related risks
textBlock Ethereum Network Dependency: YNG's existence and operation are fully dependent on the Ethereum blockchain. Network congestion, consensus failure, or sustained attacks on Ethereum could affect transferability and functionality. As the YNG token is deployed on Ethereum, any material changes to Ethereum's architecture - including forks, shifts in validator incentives, or protocol-level upgrades (e.g. EIPs) - may affect transaction costs or operability. Additionally, periods of elevated gas fees or congestion may render certain functions uneconomical or temporarily unavailable.

Smart Contract Vulnerabilities: Despite undergoing external audits, the YNG smart contract may still contain unknown bugs or vulnerabilities that could result in exploitation or malfunction.


I.6 Mitigation measures
textBlock Security Audits: The YNG smart contract was audited by an external cybersecurity firm. Identified vulnerabilities were corrected before deployment.

Off-Chain Utility Management: YNG's core utilities (e.g. YNG Clubs benefits) are executed through the issuer's centralized infrastructure, minimizing dependency on the Ethereum network's performance.

Regulatory Compliance Framework: The issuer actively monitors regulatory developments and adapts its procedures and disclosures to remain compliant, including under MiCAR and related EU directives.

S.9 Energy consumption sources and methodologies
textBlock As the YNG crypto-asset is an ERC-20 token deployed on the Ethereum network, it does not have its own separate energy consumption. The energy impact is calculated proportionally based on YNG's share of total transactions on Ethereum during the 2024 calendar year.

Methodology:

Energy Consumption = (YNG Transactions / Total Ethereum Transactions) × Total Ethereum Network Consumption
●     Total Ethereum Network Consumption (2024): 10,000,000 kWh
(Source: Annualized estimate of 0.01 TWh/year – Digiconomist, Ethereum Energy Consumption Index, 2024)

●     Total Ethereum Transactions (2024): 429,521,466
(Source: Etherscan, https://etherscan.io/chart/tx)

●     YNG On-Chain Transactions (2024): 74
(Source: Etherscan, filtered for contract
