Inefficiencies in e-commerce are staggering. Even though the industry itself is full of promise, the technology behind it is not. Namely, the way we identify ourselves online as well al transfer our data and money is outdated and thus ripe for improvement. Without it, we’restuck with never ending registrations, redundant verifications, delays, limited utility of cryptopayments, constant infringements of data protection legislation as well as the generallyworrisome state of cyber security
We believe that outdated technology is to blame for almost all of these problems. Accordingly,we think it’s about time to fix this by embracing a modern way of managing your onlineidentity and the shopping experience
Solution
Safein will allow users to store their identity, as well as crypto and fiat currencies in accounts opened on our platform. Safein will go into various business areas where combination of possessing all of the above gives benefit to its users online and offline. The main priority of Safein is to eliminate redundant registrations and KYC procedures.
Safein is planning to be a fully licenced EU electronic money institution with the ability toreceive and process payments in full compliance with the law. Users will be able to hold their crypto and fiat currency in a single wallet as well as convert them from one to another. Major crypto currencies, including Bitcoin, Ethereum ERC20 tokens, and other popular cryptocurrencies will be supported. Currency exchange functionality, for crypto and fiat, will be standard for all currencies with 0.5% markup from the best available rate in the market. Having an EU electronic money institution (EMI) licence will allow Safein to connect to the SEPA network and give IBAN codes to all of our users. Having that available, Safein will be one step closer to becoming a standard instrument for daily use. Additionally, Safein plans to have payment cards linked to users’ accounts, so users will be able to use thein Safein accounts daily both online and offline
Standard Safein e-commerce commission for merchants will be 1%. Merchants who possess Safein tokens will be able to receive part of their payments free of any commission, and users who pay with Safein tokens will receive 0.25% cashback on every purchase. Moren these Safein token benefits can be found in the “Token model” Section.
Safein provides a unique solution for both users and merchants. Users will be able to login into websites directly with no registrations. The Safein account will at the same time provide merchants with the information necessary for client acceptance and service provision.
Multi factor authentication mechanisme and Digital Management
Security must be a primary focus while managing your identity and wallet online. Safein will have a multi-factor authentication mechanism implemented from the very beginning. While integrating Safein, each merchant will be able to choose a minimum security level that he requires from its users. For example, merchants can ask that all logins to the merchant’s website and all payments must be confirmed by user on his mobile device - i.e. (i) a push notification shows up, (ii) user must identify himself via pin code or fingerprint on his mobile Safein app and (iii) approve login or purchase. User (in his panel) can also enhance general security levels for each website individually. For example, even if a specific website does not require mobile device confirmation for website login, a user can always enhance his security level by enabling that requirement himself.
With Safein, users will not only be able to fully control their logins and actions, but track and manage them as well. Users will be able to see their full activity history, including logins and payments, track their used devices, manage current active login sessions and cancel them at any time. Users will also be able to easily check
which website has access to certain data. Most of the functionality related to identity management is already available in the MVP.

Kyc prosedure
Safein team is currently in talks with the world’s leading automated ID verification service provider to provide exceptionally accurate results using its AI powered document checking algorithm. Such checks, where users will only need to scan their IDs with their cameras and take selfies, will be sufficient for most uses. Some advanced verifications, where users need to comply with very specific regulations (for example, some cryptocurrency exchanges), will be done manually by the Safein team. It could take up to few minutes, but compared to current waiting periods of weeks for some exchanges, it is still a radical improvement, especially keeping in mind that users will only need to do it once.
Safein benefits
We believe that our services will be desirable by both merchants and users.
Any online website which requires any sort of user identification or payments could greatly benefit from our service
Token Distribution
Merchants using Safein will be able to reduce their transaction fees by holding SFN tokens. Each SFN token held entitles a a merchant to process a specific amount of payments permonth with no commission fees. The initial multiplier, right after payments launch, will be 10, i.e. each SFN token will let merchant receive 10 SFN tokens worth of payments with no commission that month. The multiplier will gradually decrease within 5 years starting from the date when the payments are launched. This will lead to a very high token demand from the very beginning, and merchants who buy tokens during the ICO will benefit the most as they will be able to buy them for the lowest starting price - 1 ETH = 9,000 SFN.
ICO
Should any part of the tokens allocated to ICO not be distributed during the ICO, such tokens
will be returned to the company and added to its reserve for further development. In
case of failure to reach Soft cap, all contributions will be returned to their original owners.
The Safein ICO will be distributing 10% of the total token supply to cover the below costs:
- Further development of our product
- Crypto payments functionality
- Smart Contracts for Login Pool
- Safein payment solution with internal transaction processing system
- Acquiring EMI licence
- Onboarding at least 500 merchants
- ICO expenses and marketing
All of the above should be done by Q4 2018 (obtaining the EMI license may take a bit longer). After all of these goals are met, Safein will slowly distribute its tokens in the market to get the
funds needed to continue project development, mostly for B2B sales (i.e. onboarding new merchants

Bussines plan
The Safein team will use different strategies tailored for users and merchants. Our user base growth strategy initially relies on the Referral Program. This strategy was actively used by PayPal, Airbnb, Dropbox and other companies which managed to achieve viral growth. Initial user base will be achieved by signing-up users during our ICO and then launching our referral campaign. 5% of the generated Safein tokens will be allocated to the Referral
Program. With an initial critical mass of users registered during our ICO, our user base will grow exponentially. Starting active marketing campaigns in certain industries, as mentioned
in previous sections, will allow us to demonstrate user benefit of having one single login for most popular websites. Similar example can be seen in the gaming industry, where Steam login is already extremely popular when it comes to websites where users don’t need to show their true identity or pay for goods.
With all of the mentioned benefits and large user base, merchants from crypto and gaming sectors will be very easy to approach not only due to direct benefits but due to increased conversion rates as well; users won’t need to register or remember different passwords to purchase goods immediately
