Because the number of tokens is limited, and subsequent issuance is not allowed, the price of GTST will be determined by demand. Demand for GTST will grow due to several factors, including, but not limited to:

• Transactions will be executed in GTST. Accordingly, increase in network members’ trading volume will increase demand and for tokens.

• The volume of the potential market supported by GTST signiﬁcantly exceeds the tokens’ market capitalization at the time of the Token Sale.

• Grotto Technology has a patent pending technology, thorough road map for product development, and marketing and sales plan that will consistently increase the project’s audience and increase the level of adoption.

• Grotto Supply will have partners preceding the official launch who will provide an active client base.
