network nodes so reducing the operational cost of operating ALL nodes.

As of Q1 20 the Q2i platform has been exposed to mobile devices. Its low data footprint enabling the complexity of blockchain to be supported on the mobile devices.

In order to maintain neutrality in both its commercial and technical relationships, Q2i has a commercial structure that reflects platform value generation.

Early adopters are in the Financial Services sector with 2 large banks focussing on the deployment in the counterparty definition at the AML/KYC level as a core function in the blockchain transaction flow at scale across the enterprise and with core banking counterparties. These are technically enabled.

In the Exchange space, which includes Digital Asset custodians, Q2i have established early requirement demand and await regulatorily clearance of the exchanges themselves.

Q2i has a JV in the retail/supply chain sector linking Asian supply chains with European fulfilment and distribution.

IoT, Smart Meter, management at a national scale progresses, whilst transactions in other data-centric value chains are being defined.

Q2iD Product release 1) - Q419 saw the release of Q2iD, the productised version of the core Q2i technology and architecture aimed at ID management for AML/KYC. Q2iD delivers secure user control of ID data in decentralised environments even when the ID information is propagated to a counterparty.

2) Q1 20 saw the release QiDataRoom - A second product release of the core technology base enables the exchange of data, files and documents securely and auditably between counterparties. Permissions can be defined to control access by ID/user on the blockchain. File control access can determine timing, form of access and collaboration rights. It replicates network/database policy definition without the need to be tied to an expensive database licence.

3) Q2 2021saw the release of Q2iPay. Q2iPay further extends the blockchain transaction functionality by introducing PaaS, payment gateway (fiat currency) AND digital asset wallet, to the ID of any counterparty in a blockchain transaction. Q2iPay's payment partner is fully enabled with Open Banking services.

Q2i is an engineering technology that remains neutral, secure and allows data exchange [Interoperability] between different blockchain types. Q2i has avoided ICO paths to ensure it remains conflict-free in its implementations. Commercially the JV's could still look at a digital asset event be that an ICO, STO or other value-added approach.
