This Virtual Asset Standards Policy (the Policy) outlines the standards by Fasset, as a Virtual Asset Service Provider (VASP), adheres to when providing Virtual Asset (VA) activities in alignment with the Virtual Assets Standards (VAS). This Policy aims to ensure the listing, trading, and handling of VAs complies with the highest legal, ethical, and professional standards.

In accordance with VAS, Fasset has established the following standards:

a. VA Standards Establishment: We have established a comprehensive framework of standards for all the VAs in relation to which we provide VA Activities [VA Standards].

b.Due Diligence : Prior to and during the provision of any VA activities, we will take all reasonable steps to ensure all VAs meet these standards. This includes conducting relevant due diligence.

c. Public Disclosure Sheets: Our disclosures and reviews of the VAs will be disclosed on our website.

This Policy applies to all VAs, including cryptocurrencies, tokens, and any digital representations of value that may be listed on our platform. This policy does not apply to any non-digital assets or securities.

Fasset assesses each VA based on a comprehensive set of criteria, which includes but is not limited to the following:

a. Market Metrics: Assessment of the VAs market capitalization, fully diluted value, and liquidity. Consideration of whether these metrics have trended downwards over time.

b. Design and Use Cases : Examination of the VAs design, features, and use cases, whether or not intended by the issuer or relevant developers.

j. Issuer Background: Evaluation of the background of the issuer including relevant experience in the VA sector and whether it has been subject to any investigations or claims in relation to fraud or deceit.

k. Asset Rights: If the VA represents rights to any other assets, the enforceability of such rights is evaluated.

l. Asset Availability: : Confirmation that sufficient assets are available to satisfy any obligations with respect to any VA activities.

m. Term and Condition Alignment: Ensuring that VA terms and conditions reflect the operation of any existing underlying physical market, avoiding adverse impacts to such a market, where applicable.

n. Risk Analysis: Comprehensive evaluation of the risks associated with the VA, including market volatility, cybersecurity threats, investor protection, and technological vulnerabilities.

o. Governance: Assessment of the governance framework and mechanisms in place to ensure transparency, accountability, and compliance with legal and regulatory requirements within the VA ecosystem.

As part of our Policy, Fasset has developed a comprehensive Ratings Framework that helps evaluate and rank VAs we consider for listing and other activities. This framework is designed to ensure a consistent, transparent, and objective assessment of each VA, while also providing clear and comprehensive information to our stakeholders. The following elements are considered in the VA:

a. Empowerment: This aspect looks at whether a certain entity or initiative focuses on poverty alleviation, healthcare, education, or other areas that empower individuals or communities.

b. Equitable : This criterion examines whether there is a promotion of equitable outcomes, fair distribution of resources, or equal access to opportunities within a particular context.

c. Sustainable: This factor assesses whether there is a focus on practices or initiatives that promote sustainability, environmental responsibility, or alignment with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

d. Eco-friendly: This aspect evaluates the environmental impact of a certain entity or initiative and looks at whether it minimizes harm to the environment, reduces carbon footprint, or promotes eco-friendly practices.

e. Real-economy linked: This criterion examines the connection between a certain entity or initiative and the real economy, which refers to the production, consumption, and distribution of goods and services in the physical world.

f. Opportunity Creation: This aspect explores whether a certain entity or initiative facilitates the creation of economic opportunities, job growth, or enables individuals to engage in productive activities.

g. Use of smart and emerging technologies: This factor assesses the extent to which a certain entity or initiative utilizes advanced technologies, such as artificial intelligence, blockchain, or other emerging technologies, to innovate or improve its operations.

h. Transparency and disclosures: This criterion examines the level of openness, accountability, and provision of relevant information by a certain entity or initiative, including financial disclosures, operational practices, or decision-making processes.

i. Governance: This aspect evaluates the systems, structures, and processes in place to ensure effective oversight, accountability, and responsible management of a certain entity or initiative.

j. Charitable: This criterion explores whether a certain entity or initiative incorporates philanthropic or charitable elements, such as donating to charitable causes, supporting community initiatives, or engaging in social impact activities.

In addition to the management, Fasset has the following departments which are involved in analysing VAs before they are listed:
