ABSTRACT
When cryptomining was still in its infancy, it was well distributed among a couple of thousand private miners, governed by transparent rules and not harmful to the climate because its energy requirements were microscopic. All that has changed: the exponential growth of cryptocurrencies has led to a dramatic increase in the sector’s energy consumption and a concentration of mining activities in countries with low social and environmental standards — where electricity is produced using predominantly fossil fuels. Even worse, the concentration of mining power in the hands of a couple of large corporations is distorting the formerly democratic decision-making process in these networks: changes in protocols and hard forks are in danger of being influenced by the economic interests of a few.
Envion has developed a system of Mobile Mining Units (MMUs) that can tap electricity directly at the source: at hydro, solar, wind and fossil power plants in every corner of the planet. Our MMUs are based on standard intermodal (sea) containers, equipped with mining hardware, communication and industry 4.0 automation features, remote control capabilities and a break-through cooling system that only makes up ~1% of the system‘s total energy consumption. Altogether it’s a high-tech solution that can be seamlessly deployed globally and allows us to use the cleanest and cheapest energy mix wherever it is available.
The flexibility of the MMU system helps us to fuse two of the most important sectors of the 21st century: blockchain technology and renewable energies. Using the dynamics of exponential growth for both, we promote climate preservation and the welfare of our token holders. It is the physical incarnation of the blockchain spirit: a robust and decentralized system that can withstand disruptions in government policies, price structures and the energy supply.
The solution envion provides has all the necessary competitive advantages, follows a decentralized approach and provides voting rights for an experience that has been under pressure from the concentration of mining power.
ICO DETAILS
The EVN token is an ERC-20 standard-based Ethereum token. EVN tokens grant their holders the right to:
1. receive 100% of the earnings of our proprietary mining operation in two steps:
- 75% payed out immediately
- 25% reinvested to boost future payouts
2. receive 35% of envion’s earnings with third-party operations
3. voting and veto in important decisions of the company’s strategy
Tokens will be offered for 31 days, starting on December 1st, 2017 and ending on December 31st, 2017.
EVN ICO is conducted by envion-the first mobile-mining solution in the world-targeting energy at its very source. The offering will be open to the global public. Restrictions apply for Swiss and US-based investors.

TOKENS
EVN Tokens are based on the ERC20 protocol, which determines that up to 150 million tokens will be issued with a nominal price of $1. The final allocation is set up as follows:
- 83% investors
- 10% founders
- 5% envion company, e.g. for the remuneration of a dvisors, etc.
- 2% bounty program
Any tokens not allocated to investors, founders or the company shall not be created. In other words the maximum token number can never exceed 150 million, whereas investors participate with 83% or a maximum of 124,500,000 tokens, founders participate with 10% or a maximum of 15,000,000 tokens and the envion company holds 7% or a maximum of 10,500,000 tokens (e.g. for the remuneration of advisors).
The tokens carry voting rights. From time to time, when envion has to take strategic decisions regarding mining operations, the company will bring these decisions to a vote with token holders who have the right to veto the company’s proposals. A voting process will be installed based on the EVN token’s smart contract.
SUMMARY
The exponential growth of energy consumption in the IT ecosystem is hitting an energy market in transition. The growth of renewables in the energy mix is creating imbalances in the gri-dan uneven distribution of power in time and space. At certain times and in certain places, there is an abundance of electricity straining the grid to its limits, while scarcity might prevail at other times. These imbalances trigger large fluctuations in spot market energy prices, regulatory responses, and price differences between sectors, regions, time and climate zones.
As data centers are long term investments in infrastructure, they have a limited capability to adapt to changes in the price structure of energy markets. Once built, they are tied to their location and might lose competitiveness to other locations if price structures change. While new market conditions might be lethal for traditional data centers, they offer vast opportunities for the global, flexible and intelligent mining operation that envion is launching now.
COMPANY STRUCTURE
Envion AG is a Swiss corporation, headquartered in Zug, the so-called “Crypto Valley” of Switzerland, where players like Ethereum Project, Monetas, Bitcoin Swiss and Bancor have laid the foundations for a major blockchain cluster.
Our structure is very simple: Shareholders are the founders, nobody else. This in turn means that we don’t have to satisfy the hunger of institutional investors for returns and can share the profits of our operations with our token holders in a fair and transparent way.
Operations are run by the team of founders (see “Team”). On the supervisory board (“Verwaltungsrat”) are co-founder Matthias Woestmann and Cyrill Staeger, who will handle administrative tasks. We view the community of token holders in this context as a pool of know-how and a provider of impulses for envion to operate in sync.
After the ICO, we will found a 100% subsidiary for R&D and the management of container production: envion technologies GmbH, located in the German blockchain capital of Berlin.
TEAM
Matthias Woestmann: an investor in renewable energies since the early 2000s. Woestmann financed the Berlin-based solar module producer SOLON AG, which became one of the leading German module producers. His investment vehicle Quadrat Capital GmbH has also invested in technology and service startups in Berlin. He is an expert in energy markets not only in Germany, but across Europe and beyond.
Jasper Hellmann: a serial entrepreneur and founder of several eCommerce companies. His expertise is in the field of social media marketing. Hellmann founded an eCommerce company in 2016 and scaled it up to 30m euros in revenue within 12 months.
Felix Krusenbaum: An IT-professional with over 6 years of experience as a strategy consultant at A.T. Kearney with a focus on digital, retail and eCommerce; 10 years of startup and programming experience; second career as a serial founder of startup companies.
Jonathan Koch: Software engineer with 10 years of experience as a team leader at Rocket Internet & wooga.
Emin Mahrt: C-level IT product and engineering manager; blockchain expert and advisor. CPO and Operations Manager to Aeternity Blockchain; deep knowledge in smart contracts; early adopter of blockchain and cryptocurrencies in 2012/13.
Nikita Fuchs: software engineer and expert for ethereum smart contracts; design and development of decentralized blockchain applications; smart contracts for finance, industry and NGOs; senior consultant to Astratum.com.
