Ltd. (“Indorse”). Wallets are the first points of interaction between users and Web3 applications and recent developments such as Ethereum’s ‘account abstraction’ allow newcomers to use decentralised applications in a much easier way. Through the Bastion wallet, users will be able to log in via their Web2 social media accounts and start using their wallet before uploading digital assets without having to worry about the transaction fees (or ‘gas’). Account abstraction also allows simple wallet recovery, a reassuring feature for all newcomers to Web3. These functionalities remove most of the friction inherent in current Web3 applications and make the wallet experience much more user friendly. Master Collaboration Agreement with BLVCK Paris for strategic Web3 initiatives On 4 September 2023 Coinsilium announced that it had signed a Master Collaboration Agreement with global lifestyle fashion brand BLVCK Paris to establish a framework for engagement on future projects including Web3 projects. The Master Collaboration agreement with BLVCK Paris, builds on the success of our established relationship and gives us a conducive framework to work with the talented BLVCK Paris team on some exciting new initiatives and move forward on a range of strategic Web3 initiatives, as well as potential partnerships in the fashion and lifestyle sector, currently under review. Coinsilium cornerstones funding round for AI powered Infrastructure Finance platform Silta Finance AG On 14 September 2023 Coinsilium announced that it is to cornerstone a funding round for Silta is developing an advanced Artificial Intelligence (AI) powered platform designed to revolutionise sustainable infrastructure financing by automating the due diligence, feasibility, and project preparation processes.

Outlook The continued cryptocurrency price improvements we are now seeing, particularly with Bitcoin and Ether gives us confidence that the market recovery phase is now gaining traction, as we head into the Bitcoin ‘halving’ expected in Spring 2024, a time which has historically catalysed previous bull phases in the Digital Assets value cycle. Having managed to remain on the right side of what has been an extremely challenging market throughout the last two-year downturn, Coinsilium now finds itself well positioned and ready to resume its drive for growth with an expanding portfolio of exciting Web3 investments and advisory clients. Whilst we continue to caution investors with regards to the prevailing regulatory uncertainties and challenges facing the broader Digital Asset industry, we have been most encouraged by certain developments over the past months relating to the potential advent of a spot Bitcoin ETF. A spot Bitcoin ETF would offer a regulated route for institutional and professional investors and eventually retail investors to diversify their portfolios into Bitcoin without having to worry about the custody of their bitcoins or figuring out how to use a cryptocurrency exchange. The cryptocurrency community and financial markets in general are closely following the potential approval of the first Bitcoin spot ETF in Artificial Intelligence (AI) Investments As noted in our annual report for year end 2022, we are also very excited by some of the opportunities we are starting to see emerge within Artificial Intelligence (AI) applications, and notably at points where they intersect with blockchain applications. In this respect we were delighted to announce, post period on 14 September 2023, Coinsilium's first AI investment in Silta Finance AG, where we acted as cornerstone investor for their latest funding round. Further information about Silta can be found on their website: https://silta.finance/. The combination of artificial intelligence and blockchain technology can create several business synergies and opportunities to improve data security, transparency, efficiency, and trust in various industries and business applications. Looking ahead, shareholders may expect to see further updates from the Company relating to investment and advisory opportunities as Coinsilium looks to further its foothold in this fast-evolving and potentially highly lucrative space. Web3 Ventures and Social Networks The Web3 venture space is also continuing to gain traction and our Web3 advisory services division remains highly active in the As Coinsilium continues to evaluate opportunities in the Web3 space, more recently the Company has started working with and providing strategic advisory services to certain partners engaged in the development of applications for a soon to be released decentralised Web3 Social Network ecosystem project. Web3 can enable the creation of decentralised social networks that give users greater control over their data and content. Users can own their data, control who accesses it, and even potentially monetise their contributions. Activity in Web3 Social Networks has been rapidly scaling over the last 12 months, powered by the development of large-scale decentralised network infrastructure protocols such as Lens, a blockchain based open-source social graph. Subject to the Project’s successful launch, Coinsilium’s participation and economic interests will be represented through a material stake in the Project network tokens. We expect to be able to provide a further, more comprehensive update at the time of the Project launch, currently slated for Q1 2024. Finally, as we head into what will hopefully be a period of more conducive market conditions, the Board would like to thank valued shareholders, partners and team members for their continued support throughout, and we look forward to continuing to provide the market with regular exciting progress updates for the remainder of the period and beyond.
