Out of the 10,000+ cryptoassets, few provide anyreal value or use case. Many projects claim to have a“working product,” though quite often that doesn’t
necessarily imply any tangible utility.
How can investors avoid the pitfalls within the cryptosphereand identify valuable assets in the emerging marketplace?

Evai.io Executive Summary
Evai is a decentralised autonomous organisation (DAO) which harnesses the power of machine learning and artificial intelligence to deliver a unique autonomous rating system without human intervention.
Evai remains unbiased through the use of this unique multi-factor model, which currently uses 9 factors and 20+ indicators to rate all cryptoassets including, DeFi and NFTs as well as any new emerging asset classes. As it currently stands there are no universally accepted ratings for cryptoassets, which presents anindustry-wide problem for investors due to ICO scams, pump and dump scenarios, rug pulls and general lack of utility.
Evai encourages community engagement through a distributed token-based governance system that allows EVAI holders to vote and reach consensus on platform upgrades, security protocols and which cryptoassets instruments are added next to the ratings platform.

Evai.io Dual-Layer Smart Contract
Evai will leverage the current industry standards in the Ethereum blockchain for issuing custom digital assets and smart contracts. By conforming to the ERC20 token interface, Evai is compatible with existing Ethereum infrastructure, such as wallets and exchanges.
The Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) allows the deployment and execution of smart contracts, enabling complex issuance rules for cryptocurrencies like Evai. Evai eliminates any question of trust and protects the transacting parties against fraud. These powerful features and dynamic ecosystem make Ethereum a strong fit for EVAI tokens.
EVAI token BEP 20 CompatibleWe are proud to claim that EVAI token (ERC20)is integrated with Binance Smart Chain.
Evai has taken steps to ensure compatibility between the EVAI token and BSC. In doing so, we’ve opened up an entire wealth of future collaborative possibilities which include facilitating seamless transfers of value between Evai and the Binance BEP20 token standard, as well as any protocols and platforms supporting those standards.
CERTIK - EVAI token Smart Contract AuditCertiK is one of the most trusted blockchain security companies in the world. Evai has engaged Certik and their meticulous testing and customised securityintegration to ensure the EVAI token meets the highest standards, providing piece of mind to investors and holders of the token.

EVAI Token Sale – Legal Opinion
Kelman PLLC was retained by Evai to provide anopinion as to whether the sale of EVAI’s tokens(the “Token Sale”) constituted an offer or sale ofsecurities pursuant to the Federal Securities Lawsof the United States of America, specifically underthe Howey test.
Based on the legal opinion by Kelman Law PLLC,the EVAI token Sale failed each of the final three elements of the Howey Test. There was no commonality present,no reasonable expectation of profits, and, even if there were an expectation of profits, those profits would notbe derived from the efforts of the Evai Team, butrather the EVAI token holders through Evai’sgovernance protocols.

Multi-Factor Model Description
Evai’s ground-breaking model has been developed from a synthesis of academic research and financial market experience. We take standard methods that have been tried and tested in the real world of investment and trading and adapt them for the new assets that have emerged
The multi-factor model will continually evolve as we seek to improve the accuracy and refine the ratings process further.
Artificial IntelligenceAI will be used to select and combine indicators with optimal weights to determine the greatest accuracy of each risk factor. The AI software will run daily tests on all indicators, selecting the most efficient with results recorded.
Machine LearningML techniques will be implemented to assess the daily test results and modify the parameters of the AI software. The tweaking of the multi-factor model’s selection criteria will continuously improve the overall accuracy over time.
The current multi-factor model includes:
Liquidity Gregroiou Ratio as return
relative to turnover.
Momentum Moving Averages -
ascertains the strength of an asset, trends & risk.
Overextension When a bubble is caused by investors driving up the
price & triggering a reversal.
Sentiment Assess multiple indicators such as the Fear & Greed Index through AI & ML.
Utility GitHub Contributions.
Market Risk The beta of the asset & how it has changed
over time.
Volatility Sharpe Ratio - identifies
asset performance & how it has changed over time.
Behavioural Bias Peak-end performance.
Capitalisation calculated by the current price multiplied by the supply in circulation.

Evai Cryptoassets Rating Criteria
EVAICRYPTOASSETS
RATING
Evai have applied this technology successfully into one of the most difficult and volatile asset classes: Cryptocurrency. Our ratings are designated on an alphabetical scale ranging from A1 to D. The Evai A1 rating (“A1”) denotes cryptoassets of the highest technical and quantitative characteristics.
The constituent rating scores are combined to return the overall asset rating (A1-D). The overall rating is an equally-weighted average of the indicators.
The highest quality cryptoassets. The financial composition is extremely solid. Extremely low risk.
Excellent quality cryptoassets. The financial composition is very solid. Moderately low risk.
Good quality cryptoassets. The financial composition is solid. Low risk, but more pronounced than A2.
Medium quality cryptoassets. A satisfactory financial composition. Low risk, but more pronounced than A3.
The financial composition is fair. Moderate risk.
The financial composition is lacking. Moderate risk, but more pronounced than B2.
The financial composition has some issues. Moderately high risk.
The financial composition has considerable issues. High risk.
The financial composition has substantial issues. Extremely high risk.
The financial composition is extremely poor. Highest risk factor.
