Up to
150,000,000 shares of Common Stock
This is an initial public offering of our common stock. The
offering price is $0.10 per share.
The offering consists of 150,000,000 shares of our common
stock comprised of (a) up to 25,000,000 newly issued shares of
our common stock ("Shares") in our Initial Public Offering
("IPO"), and up to (b) 125,000,000 shares for non-cash
consideration pursuant to our "Work Compensation" program.
In the event all of the Offering Shares are sold, we may, in
our discretion, sell up to 50,000,000 additional authorized, but
currently unissued shares ("Additional Shares" and/or "Reserve
Shares") in the offering currently held in reserve.
300,000,000 shares are currently owned by the CEO of
DeCryptoFi, Nicholas Scherling ("Company insider" and/or
"Holder"). In connection with the initial public offering of the
Company's securities, the Holder agrees not to sell, make any
short sale of, loan, grant any option for the purchase of, or
otherwise dispose of any securities of the Company held
immediately prior to the effectiveness of the registration
statement for such offering (other than those included in the
registration), for such period of time (not to exceed 180 days
or such longer period of time as may be required to comply with
Rule 2711 of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc.
(or any successor rule thereto)) two days following the
effective date of such registration statement ("lock-up
period"). Further, following the lock-up period, the Holder will
be limited to selling 12.5% of his holdings per year. This not
only protects against overdiluting the market share value, but
also preserves the integrity of the Company.
There is no minimum number of Offering Shares that we must
sell in order to conduct a closing in this offering. The
offering will commence within six weeks after this offering
circular has been qualified by the Commission. The offering will
exist until the date on which the offering of any additional
stock would cause the aggregate offering price or aggregate
gross sales in this offering, as those terms are defined under
Rule 251(a) of the Securities Act, to exceed $50,000,000.00.
The Commission does not pass upon the merits of or give its
approval to any shares offered hereby or the terms of the
offering, nor does it pass upon the accuracy or completeness of
any offering circular. The Offering Shares are being offered
pursuant to an exemption from registration with the Commission;
however, the Commission has not made an independent
determination that the Offering Shares offered are exempt from
registration.

SUMMARY
This offering summary highlights certain information appearing
elsewhere in this offering circular. Because it is a summary, it
may not contain all the information that is important to you. To
understand this offering fully, you should read the entire
offering circular carefully, including the "Risk Factors"
section, before making a decision to invest in our stock. Unless
the context requires otherwise, in this offering the terms "we,"
"us" and "our" refer to DeCryptoFi, the issuer of the common
shares of stock. For a more complete understanding of this
offering, you should read the entire offering circular
carefully, including the risk factors and the financial
statements.
Who we Are. We are an early-stage financial technology
company.
Our company, DeCryptoFi, has identified a glaring and
persistent issue that many privately held businesses face; the
ability for small and medium sized companies to raise additional
capital. When businesses need capital, typically they must go
through the arduous process of seeking a loan from a bank or
lending company. It is extremely difficult for small and medium
sized companies to access public markets where they may receive
the same or better terms in return for capital. When a small
business is approved for a loan by a bank (or other lending
provider), these institutions will often require from the
business a form of hard asset collateral, and most require a
personal guarantee from its owner, regardless of the company's
financial stability. W2 employees, working for a successful
business, would never personally guarantee a business loan just
to keep their job, so why should legitimate business owners?
If businesses are turned away from financial
institutions, there seems to be few alternatives except for
these businesses to seek additional capital from Merchant Cash
Advance firms, or some form of lending company that charges
usurious interest rates. These types of lending institutions
tend to benefit from the borrower's company failing rather than
succeeding, which then puts people out of jobs and facing
massive debts that need to be repaid.
As a result, many business owners are unable to secure
the capital they need to scale their business and those that are
able to get a good loan at a low rate may still be unwilling to
do so due to personal guarantee requirements. No employee or
business owner wants to personally secure business loans with
their personal finances regardless of how well their business is
performing.
Our Solution. The reality is that there are numerous additional
ways that companies can raise capital, but they simply lack the
knowledge, expertise, or personnel to facilitate alternative
capital-raising offerings.
DeCryptoFi has created a technology-driven software that
will allow small and mid-sized companies to understand and be
fully compliant with the public and private offering processes.
Our main goal can be summed up in one word... simplification.
Our goal is to tap into this market and assist small and medium
size companies that want to pursue a public offering or an
alternative acceptable private offering and remain fully
compliant with SEC regulations. We strive to make the overlooked
alternative methods of raising capital easy to achieve, easy to
comprehend, and for many aspects of the process, completely
automated. The SEC has long struggled with how to assist small
and medium size businesses get access to the public market; we
are here to help!
By answering a series of questions specific to their
company, including, but not limited to, how much capital the
company seeks to raise, who the company's target investors will
be: current and past revenue, profitability, growth rate,
organizational structure, and so forth, Businesses will be able
to streamline the structuring of a potential business
capitalization and the regulatory safeguards associated with
these capital raising options. DeCryptoFi's software will
provide a list of currently available offerings to our
customers, as well as a list of offerings that are just within
their grasp. Once the business owner fully comprehends the types
of offerings available to them and decides which to pursue,
DeCryptoFi's software will assist in automating all relevant SEC
filings, state filings, investor notifications, disclosures,
offering circulars, registration statements, offering memoranda,
prospectuses, dividend payments, proxy statements, and much
more.
Strategy. We will pursue the following strategies:
Continue to attract top talent. To grow our business, we
recognize the need to attract experienced professionals in
technology, legal, accounting, and so forth. While we already
have a strong team of employees and advisors with the relevant
expertise (discussed in greater detail below), we plan to
supplement key roles as we ramp up our operations.
Scale our business to become a national leader in our
sector. We are focused on growing our national and international
footprint and upon qualification, will be testing business
development and marketing efforts in multiple
channels.
Increased awareness of our products and services will enable us
to scale and attract a whole assortment of different types of
businesses that previously did not fall under the SEC's purview
but will now be a fully compliant reporting company or exempt
reporting company, thereby increasing investor protection across
broad range of market tiers.
Corporate Information. We are a Delaware corporation (C-Corp)
organized on August 20, 2020 Our principal place of business
address is 4795 Meadow Wood Lane # 200, Chantilly, VA 20151, our
telephone number is (703) 955-7770, and our website is www.
DeCryptofi.com.
DeCryptoFi.com will officially launch our website upon
SEC qualification in order to ensure that we do not disclose our
intent to conduct a Stock Offering ahead of SEC qualification of
our Reg A filing.
Except for this offering circular and our other public
filings with the SEC pursuant to the requirements of SEC
regulation A, information found on, or accessible through our
website is not a part of, and is not incorporated into this
offering circular, and you should not consider it part of this
offering circular. We consider these facilities adequate for our
current operations.
CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
The statements contained in this offering circular that
are not purely historical are forward-looking statements.
Forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to,
statements regarding expectations, hopes, beliefs, intentions,
or strategies regarding the future. In addition, any statements
that refer to projections, forecasts or other characterizations
of future events or circumstances, including any underlying
assumptions, are forward-looking statements. The words
"anticipate," "believe," "continue," "could," "estimate,"
"expect," "intend," "may," "might," "plan," "possible,"
"potential," "predicts," "project," "should," "would" and
similar expressions may identify forward-looking statements, but
the absence of these words does not mean that a statement is not
forward-looking. Forward-looking statements in this offering
circular may include, for example, statements about our:
o limited operating history and ability to maintain or increase
profitability.
o reliance on third parties for production and distribution.
o results of operations.
o ability to manage growth.
o ability to minimize our production and distribution costs by
utilizing funding sources provided by others.
o regulatory or operational risks.
o success in retaining or recruiting, or changes required in,
our officers, key employees or directors.
o capital structure.
o ability to obtain additional financing when and if needed; and
o liquidity and trading of our securities.
The forward-looking statements contained in this offering
circular are based on current expectations and beliefs
concerning future developments and their potential effects on
us. There can be no assurance that future developments will be
those that have been anticipated. These forward-looking
statements involve a number of risks, uncertainties (some of
which are beyond our control) or other assumptions that may
cause actual results or performance to be materially different
from those expressed or implied by these forward-looking
statements. These risks and uncertainties include, but are not
limited to, those factors described under the heading "Risk
Factors." Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties
materialize, or should any of our assumptions prove incorrect,
actual results may vary in material respects from those
projected in these forward-looking statements. We undertake no
obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements,
whether as a result of new information, future events or
otherwise, except as may be required under applicable securities
laws.
These statements involve risks, uncertainties,
assumptions, and other factors that may cause actual results,
levels of activity, performance, or achievements to be
materially different from the information expressed or implied
by these forward-looking statements. Although we believe that we
have a reasonable basis for each forward-looking statement
contained in this offering circular, we caution you that these
statements are based on a combination of facts and factors
currently known by us and our projections of the future, about
which we cannot be certain.
The subscription price of our common stock has been
determined by the Company's management without regard to the
Company's assets or earnings or the lack thereof, or book value
and does not represent nor is it intended to imply that the
Units being offered have a market value or could be resold at
that price, even if a sale were permissible. The valuation was
arbitrarily determined by the Company, and not by an independent
third party applying a specified valuation criterion.
Accordingly, this price may not be indicative of the market
price of the DeCryptoFi Stock at such time as a secondary
trading market does develop, if ever, or the proceeds that you
would receive upon a commercial sale of the DeCryptoFi Stock;
the offering price may be significantly more than either such
price.
Prior to this offering there has been no public market
for any of our securities. The public offering price of our
shares was determined on a number of factors. Factors considered
in determining the prices and terms of the Shares (and the
Additional Shares) offered hereby include:
o The history and prospects of companies similar to our company
o Prior offerings of those companies
o Our capital structure
o Our software
o An assessment of our management
o General conditions of the securities markets at the time of
the offering; and
o Other factors as were deemed relevant
However, although these factors were considered, the
determination of the offering prices is more arbitrary than the
pricing of securities for an established operating company.
Following this offering, the price of our common stock
may vary significantly due to general market or economic
conditions as well as other factors. Furthermore, an active
trading market for the securities may never develop or, if
developed, may not be sustained. You may be unable to sell your
securities unless a market can be established and sustained.
RISK FACTORS
The SEC requires that we identify risks that are specific
to our business and financial condition. We are still subject to
all the same risks that all companies in our business, and all
companies in the economy, are exposed to. These include risks
relating to economic downturns, political and economic events,
and technological developments (such as hacking and the ability
to prevent hacking). Additionally, early-stage companies are
inherently riskier than more developed companies. You should
consider general risks as well as specific risks when deciding
whether to invest.
An investment in the securities offered by this offering
circular involves a high degree of risk. You should carefully
consider all the material risks described below, together with
the other information contained in this offering circular,
before making a decision to invest in DeCryptoFi. There can be
no assurance that any purchaser will achieve his or her
investment objective or avoid substantial losses by investing in
DeCryptoFi. All investments entail a high degree of risk, and
purchasers may lose some or all their investment.
Risks associated with our business
1. We do not have a long operating history on which to evaluate
our company. We face all the risks faced by newer companies in
similar industries, including significant competition from
existing and emerging capital raising platforms many of which
may be significantly more established, larger, and better
financed than our company. However, we believe that what we are
offering is incredibly unique and the market we are entering
should be far less saturated.
2. There is considerable uncertainty about the asset class's
long-term viability, which could be affected by a variety of
factors, including many market-based factors such as economic
growth, inflation, and others. In addition, the success of the
stock and other types of securities that may be issued will
depend on whether new technologies turn out to be useful and
economically viable. We do not control any of these factors, and
therefore may not be able to control the long-term success of
our company share value.
3. The offering price of our stock was not established on an
independent basis. After we commence operations, the actual
value of your investment may be substantially less than what you
pay. The most recent pre-revenue valuation of our stock was
conducted by the Company and it concluded our stock has a fair
market value of $0.10 per share as of October 14th, 2020.
4. The market in which we participate is intensely competitive,
and we may not be able to compete successfully with our current
or future competitors.
5. This offering is being made pursuant to recently adopted
rules and regulations under Regulation A of the Securities Act.
The legal and compliance requirements of these rules and
regulations, including ongoing reporting requirements related
thereto, are relatively untested.
6. Our operating results are dependent, in part, on management's
estimates of revenue to be earned in the future. We will
regularly review and revise our revenue estimates. Periodic
adjustments in amortization rates may significantly affect these
results.
7. We are pre revenue. We anticipate that our revenue will begin
in 2021. Until we are revenue stable our revenue may not be
evenly distributed throughout the year but may be more evenly
distributed in the future as we expand our business and
diversify, Until such time, our quarter to quarter financial
results may not be comparable within any single fiscal year or
from fiscal year to fiscal year.
8. Our projections may fluctuate. As a result of the foregoing
and other factors, our results of operations may fluctuate
significantly from period to period, and the results of any one
period may not be indicative of the results for any future
period
9. We are smaller and less diversified than many of our
competitors. Some of our larger competitors have more resources
with which to compete for ideas, enhancements, and better
functionality.
10. We must successfully respond to rapid technological changes
and alternative forms of delivery or storage to remain
competitive. The financial industry in general continues to
undergo significant developments as advances in technologies and
new methods of product delivery and storage, or certain changes
in consumer behavior driven by these developments, emerge.
Consumers are spending an increasing amount of time online and
on mobile devices, and are increasingly viewing financial date
in real time, on their televisions and on handheld or portable
devices. we must adapt our businesses to changing consumer
behavior and preferences and exploit new distribution channels.
Our strategy is to seek to take advantage of these changes and
thereby to create new revenue streams and other opportunities
for our content. If we cannot successfully utilize these and
other emerging technologies, it could have a material adverse
effect on our business, financial condition, operating results,
liquidity, and prospects.
11. We must constantly be aware of any intellectual property
issues. Protecting and defending against intellectual property
claims may have a material adverse effect on our business. Our
ability to compete depends, in part, upon successful protection
of our intellectual property relating to our software. We will
attempt to protect proprietary and intellectual property rights
to our software through available copyright and trademark laws
and licensing and distribution arrangements with reputable
international companies in specific territories.
12. We plan to conduct business abroad and internationally. We
face risks from doing business internationally. We intend to
distribute our content outside the U.S. and derive revenue in
foreign jurisdictions. As a result, our business is subject to
certain risks inherent in international business, many of which
are beyond our control. These risks include:
a. Laws and policies affecting trade, investment, and
taxes, including laws and policies relating to the repatriation
of funds and withholding taxes, and changes in these laws.
b. The Foreign Corrupt Practices Act ("FCPA") and similar
laws regulating interactions and dealings with foreign
government officials.
c. Changes in local regulatory requirements, including
restrictions on video content.
d. Differing cultural tastes and attitudes.
e. Differing degrees of protection for intellectual
property
f. Financial instability and increased market concentration
of buyers in foreign markets.
g. The instability of foreign economies and governments.
h. Fluctuating foreign exchange rates.
i. The spread of communicable diseases in such
jurisdictions, which may impact business in such jurisdictions;
and
j. War and acts of terrorism.
Events or developments related to these and other risks
associated with international trade could adversely affect our
revenue from non-U.S. sources, which could have a material
adverse effect on our business, financial condition, operating
results, liquidity, and prospects.
Risks Specific to this Offering
a. DeCryptoFi's securities are just being introduced to the
market. Our stock has no history and thus face significant
uncertainties around its valuation. This valuation may be highly
dependent on the demand for our software, which is unproven and
uncertain, and the reliability of the underlying technology
which is untested.
b. The securities being offered are volatile in nature. There is
no guarantee that our securities will hold their value or
increase in value, and you may lose the amount of your
investment in the DeCryptoFi stock in whole or in part. The
shares in the initial stock offering are highly speculative, and
any return on an investment is contingent upon numerous
circumstances, many of which (including legal and regulatory
conditions) are beyond our control. There is no assurance that
purchasers will realize any return on their investments or that
their entire investment will not be lost. For this reason, each
purchaser should carefully read this offering circular and
should consult with his or her own attorney, financial and tax
advisors prior to making any investment decision with respect to
DeCryptoFi stock.
c. There is much reliance on the Firm's CEO, Nicholas Scherling,
regarding the ultimate success of the company. Our chairman and
chief executive officer will effectively control our company.
DeCryptoFi will only be offering one class of common stock. Our
chairman and chief executive officer, Nicholas Scherling, has
control over the vast majority of all the outstanding voting
power and, in turn, our company. This concentration of ownership
and decision making may make it more difficult for other
stockholders to effect substantial changes in our company and
may also have the effect of delaying, preventing or expediting,
as the case may be, a change in control of our company.
d. Dividend payments will not be made during the inception of
the Company's offering. We do not intend to pay any dividends on
our common stock at this time. The payment of cash dividends on
our common stock in the future will be dependent upon our
revenue and earnings, if any, capital requirements and general
financial condition as well as the limitations on dividends and
distributions that exist under the laws and regulations of the
State of Delaware and will be within the discretion of the
Company. It is the present intention of the Company to retain
all earnings, if any, for use in our business operations and,
accordingly, the Company does not anticipate declaring any
dividends on our common stock in the foreseeable future. As a
result, any gain you will realize on our common stock will
result solely from the appreciation of such shares.
e. If our securities become subject to the SEC's penny stock
rules, broker-dealers may experience difficulty in completing
customer transactions and trading activity in our securities may
be adversely affected. If at any time we have net tangible
assets of $5,000,000 or less and our common stock has a market
price per share of less than $5.00, transactions in our
securities may be subject to the "penny stock" rules promulgated
under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Under these rules,
broker-dealers who recommend such securities to persons other
than institutional accredited investors must:
1. make a special written suitability determination for the
purchaser.
2. receive the purchaser's written agreement to the transaction
prior to sale.
3. provide the purchaser with risk disclosure documents which
identify certain risks associated with investing in "penny
stocks" and which describe the market for these "penny stocks"
as well as a purchaser's legal remedies; and
4. obtain a signed and dated acknowledgment from the purchaser
demonstrating that the purchaser has received the required risk
disclosure document before a transaction in a "penny stock" can
be completed.
If our securities become subject to these rules, it may
be difficult to effectuate customer transactions and trading
activity in our securities may be adversely affected. As a
result, the market price of our securities may be depressed, and
you may find it more difficult to sell our securities.
We have 50,000,000 shares in reserve for future issuance
which could have an adverse effect on the market price for our
securities or on our ability to obtain future public financing.
If and when we issue additional securities to raise funds or
consummate any acquisition or business combination, you may
experience dilution to your holdings.
The determination for the offering price of our shares is
more arbitrary compared with the pricing of securities for an
established operating company.
-
-
- You will not be able to sell almost all of our stock
immediately after purchase, and it may decline in value before
you have a chance to sell it. In addition, at issuance, there
will be no trading market for the Stock, and a trading market
may never develop.
- If the Stock is issued, there may not be a trading market
available for the Stock, or any exchange on which holders of
Stock may transfer or resell their Stock. As a result, the Stock
may initially only be traded on very limited range of venues,
including U.S. registered exchanges, or regulated alternative
trading systems for which a Form ATS will have been properly
submitted to the SEC.
- Exchanges may decide not to list the DeCryptoFi Stock for
several reasons not under our control, a perceived lack of
market interest in the DeCryptoFi Stock, and any other factors.
As a result, investors of DeCryptoFi Stock should be prepared to
hold their Stock indefinitely, as there is no guarantee that
holders will be able to sell or exchange their Stock. In the
event that the Stock remains illiquid for a significant period
of time or indefinitely, the value of the DeCryptoFi Stock may
be materially adversely affected.
- Most securities that are publicly traded in the U.S. have one
or more broker-dealers acting as "market makers" for the
security. A market maker is a firm that stands ready to buy and
sell the security on a regular and continuous basis at publicly
quoted prices. In the event the stock is listed on an exchange,
we cannot guarantee that the stock will have a market maker,
which could contribute to a lack of liquidity in the DeCryptoFi
stock and could have a material adverse effect on holders'
ability to trade the stock.
- The actual value of your investment may be substantially less
than what you pay.
The determination for the offering price of our shares is more
arbitrary compared with the pricing of securities for an
established operating company.
Prior to this offering there has been no public market for
any of our securities. Factors considered in determining the
prices and terms of the Shares (and the Additional Shares)
offered hereby include:
* the history of companies similar to our company;
* prior offerings of those companies;
* our capital structure;
* an assessment of our management;
* general conditions of the securities markets at the time of
the offering and other factors as were deemed relevant
However, although these factors were considered, the
determination of the offering prices is more arbitrary than the
pricing of securities for an established operating company
The value of your share value in DeCryptoFi may depend on its
supply and may be affected by how much Stock Compensation is
offered in a given year.
* Our use of Form 1-A and our reliance on Regulation A for this
offering may make it more difficult to raise capital as and when
we need it, as compared to if we were conducting a traditional
initial public offering on Form S-1.
o Because of the exemptions from various reporting requirements
provided to us under Regulation A and because we are only
permitted to raise up to $50,000,000 in any 12-month period
under Regulation A, this securities offering may be less
attractive to purchasers and it may be difficult for us to raise
additional capital as and when we need it. If we are unable to
raise additional capital as and when we need it, the growth of
our financial condition and results of operations may be
adversely affected, which may have a material adverse effect on
the value of our stock.
* DeCryptoFi may evaluate and consider strategic transactions,
combinations, acquisitions, or alliances to enhance its existing
business or develop new products and services. These
transactions could be material to its financial condition. If we
do consummate a transaction, we may be unable to obtain the
benefits or avoid the difficulties and risks of the transaction.
* Any acquisition will involve risks commonly encountered in
business relationships, including:
o difficulties in assimilating and integrating the operations,
personnel, systems, data, technologies, products, and services
of the acquired business.
o inability of the acquired technologies, products, or
businesses to achieve expected levels of revenue, profitability,
productivity, or other benefits.
o difficulties in retaining, training, motivating, and
integrating key personnel.
o diversion of management's time and resources from our normal
daily operations.
o difficulties in maintaining uniform standards, controls,
procedures, and policies within the combined organizations.
o difficulties in retaining relationships with customers,
employees, and suppliers of the acquired business.
o risks of entering markets in which we have no or limited
direct prior experience.
o regulatory risks, including remaining in good standing with
existing regulatory bodies or receiving any necessary pre-
closing or post-closing approvals, as well as being subject to
new regulators with oversight over an acquired business.
o assumption of contractual obligations that contain terms that
are not beneficial to us, require us to license or waive
intellectual property rights or increase our risk for liability.
o failure to successfully further develop the acquired
technology; liability for activities of the acquired business
before the acquisition, including patent and trademark
infringement claims, violations of laws, commercial disputes,
tax liabilities and other known and unknown liabilities.
o potential disruptions to our ongoing businesses; and
o unexpected costs and unknown risks and liabilities associated
with the acquisition.
Risks Related to Regulations
* There are uncertainties related to the regulatory regimes
governing the issuance of new publicly traded securities, and as
such, new regulations or policies may materially adversely
affect the development and value our securities.
* Any future regulatory actions applicable to our related
activities could severely impact our operations and the value of
DeCryptoFi. Accordingly, DeCryptoFi may need to restructure
operations significantly to comply with any new regulation or
guidance. These efforts could be costly and could involve
fundamentally changing core portions of our business operations
and in turn negatively affect the value of our securities. On
the other hand, failure to restructure for compliance adequately
or quickly enough could result in regulatory action (such as
investigations by the government or a self-regulatory
organization or government or private litigation or
administrative actions) that requires DeCryptoFi to spend
significant time and effort, which would pull the Company's
attention away from the core of its business and potentially
deplete our resources. It could also result in negative
publicity.
* New or changing laws and regulations or interpretations of
existing laws and regulations, in the United States and other
jurisdictions, may adversely impact securities, including with
respect to their value, their liquidity, the ability of
purchasers to access marketplaces or exchanges on which to trade
the security, and the structure, rights and transferability of
the security.
Transfer Agent and Registrar
The Company will act as registrar and maintain the
Company's share register. As of the date of this offering
circular, we have not engaged a transfer agent, and do not
intend to engage a transfer agent until such time as we
determine its necessary or we are required to do so in order to
satisfy the conditional exemption contained in Rule 12g5-1(a)(7)
of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the
Exchange Act. DeCryptoFi maintains its position that the Company
and its software are not required to register as transfer
agents, both because the Company's securities s are not
currently securities required to be registered under Section 12
of the Exchange Act, and because none of the activities
DeCryptoFi and its software are involved in are described in the
definition of a transfer agent. In addition, to the extent that
certain activities that meet the definition of a transfer agent
are performed automatically by our software, our software is not
a "person" that would be required to register.

laws and regulations of the State of Virginia and will be within
the discretion of the Company. It is the present intention of
the Company to retain all earnings, if any, for use in our

anticipate declaring any dividends on our common stock in the
foreseeable future. As a result, any gain you will realize on
our common stock will result solely from the appreciation of
such shares.

DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
DeCryptoFi's main goal is to make the public and private
offering process of raising capital easier for small and
midsized businesses to achieve. Our top priority is to aid and
facilitate with the complexities in the alternative space of
capital raising. Many companies, even if aware of these
alternative methods of capital raising, simply lack the legal
and finance team dedicated in ensuring that all regulatory and
audit requirements are satisfied. Without the proper personnel,
small to medium sized businesses cannot devote the time to
raising capital while simultaneously running their business. If
these business owners wish to outsource these functions, it can
drastically affect the company's bottom line.
Our goal is to tap into this market and assist small and
medium size companies that want to pursue a public offering or
an alternative acceptable private offering and properly
navigating through the confounding but necessary SEC
regulations. . The techniques that DeCryptoFi has developed will
assist companies with identifying options for raising capital
that make sense given their current business circumstances.
Companies interested in raising capital will be able to use our
portal and software allowing us to assist them in the various
options available to them to raise capital that they otherwise
may not have known exist or to have been possible. In addition,
DeCryptoFi seeks to be able to automate the initial and ongoing
required regulatory filings (depending on the type of offering a
user chooses) on the customers behalf. Lastly, DeCrytpoFi seeks
to be able to facilitate and automate the necessary
documentation that companies are required to provide its
investors. In this day and age where investor protection,
preservation of personal identifying information, and complete
transparency with respect to businesses is paramount, our goal
is to assist companies with this evolving landscape. Further, as
the importance of combating money-laundering continues to be a
top priority for all institutions, DeCryptoFi will facilitate
and assist with the compliance of Anti-Money Laundering ("AML")
regulations. The language on page 18 in our circular now reads,
in part, "Our goal is to tap into this market and assist small
and medium size companies that want to pursue a public offering
or an alternative acceptable private offering and properly
navigating through the confounding but necessary SEC
regulations. Our techniques will allow small and mid-sized
companies to better understand the initial and ongoing
regulatory filings with respect to the public and private
offering processes. Our main goal can be summed up in one
word... simplification. We strive to make the overlooked
alternative methods of raising capital easy to achieve, easier
to comprehend, and for many aspects of the process, completely
automated. The SEC has long struggled with how to assist small
and medium size businesses get access to the public market; we
are here to help! As an early-stage financial technology
company, we have created techniques and processes which will
allow small and mid-sized companies to fully understand the
complexities surrounding initial public offerings, private
placement offerings, and other exempt offerings. Our focus is on
companies that seek alternatives to the issuance of bank loans
in order to raise capital. Our company allows for the
automation of various Self-Regulatory Organizations (SRO)
initial and ongoing regulatory reporting and filings and assists
companies that lack the relevant expertise and/or personnel to
stay up to date with relevant compliance obligations as well as
the need for the proper investor disclosures, privacy
notifications, and Anti-Money Laundering (AML) regulations.
DeCryptoFi has the capability to track various asset classes and
automate investor documentation, such as proxy statements,
dividend payments, and GDPR notifications.
Users working with DeCryptoFi will better understand the
user's business and what attainable capital raising methods the
user may be overlooking. Topics for information sharing will
include, but are not limited to, how much capital the company
seeks to raise, who the company's target investors will be,
current and past revenue, profitability, growth rate, what its
organizational structure is like, etc. In turn, businesses will
be able to streamline the structuring of a potential business
capitalization and the regulatory safeguards associated with
these capital raising options. Once a business owner fully
comprehends the types of offerings available and decides which
to pursue, DeCryptoFi's will assist in automating filings and
much more."
We aim to assist with initial public offerings ("IPO"),
initial public debt offerings ("IPDO"), private offerings, and
private debt offerings. We believe that average business owners
are not even aware of the ability for tapping public and private
markets simply through debt offerings and the potential
advantages associated with it. Staging an IPO is also a very
time-consuming and expensive process. The registration process
can be quite complex and requires the company to disclose a
variety of information to potential investors. In addition, the
IPO process can take as little as six months or as long as two
years, during which time management's attention is distracted
away from day-to-day operations. It can also conservatively cost
a company between $50,000 and $250,000 in underwriting fees,
legal and accounting expenses, and printing costs.
DeCryptoFi's software will allow companies the ability to
streamline and automate SEC filings, quarterly and annual
reports, dividend payments, privacy notifications, General Data
Protection Regulations ("GDPR"), Anti-Money laundering
provisions, and the Trust Indenture Act regulations. By giving
our customers the ability to systematize these processes, the
regulatory landscape will be satisfied, thereby alleviating some
of these hurdles and giving them the opportunity to focus on
running their business.
DeCryptoFi has not filed for any bankruptcy receivership,
or similar proceedings, nor is DeCryptoFi currently subject to,
or has been subject to, any legal proceedings material to the
business or its financial condition. There is no material
litigation, arbitration or governmental proceeding currently
pending against us, or any of our officers or in their capacity
acting as such and neither we, nor our officers have been
subject to any such proceedings in the 12 months preceding the
date of this preliminary offering circular.
Trademarks and Copyrights
We own or have applied for rights to trademarks or trade
names that we use in connection with the operation of our
business, including our corporate names, logos and website
names. In addition, we own or have the rights to copyrights,
trade secrets and other proprietary rights that protect our
business. This offering circular may also contain trademarks,
service marks and trade names of other companies, which are the
property of their respective owners. Our use or display of third
parties' trademarks, service marks, trade names or products in

names and trademarks referred to in this offering circular are
listed without their (c), (r) and (tm) symbols, but we will
assert, to the fullest extent under applicable law, our rights
to our copyrights, trade names and trademarks. All other
trademarks are the property of their respective owners.
DeCryptoFi Platform
We will operate an online platform, where investors can
manage their accounts and purchase shares of our company.
Prospective investors will create a public address (username)
and private key (password) and indicate agreement to our terms
and conditions and privacy policy. DeCryptoFi's platform
provides the ability for investors to login to their accounts
and view the total number of shares that they own at a given
time. The platform has the ability for investors to send shares
to other investors but does not offer the ability to price,
sell, or purchase shares. This is for the sole purpose of
DeCryptoFi to keep track of investors that own its stock.
Pricing, selling, or purchasing shares must be done outside the
platform, person to person, or through a registered exchange
once DeCryptoFi is listed in the future.
* Available Online Directly from Us. Investors must purchase
shares of our stock directly from us.
* No Minimum Investment. Investors will be able to build
ownership over time by making purchases as low as the initial
offering price.
DESCRIPTION OF DECRYPTOFI'S COMMON STOCK
GENERAL
DeCryptoFi has a total of 500,000,000 authorized shares
of common stock, with a par value $.0001. As of the date of this
offering circular, 300,000,000 shares of the Company's common
stock are outstanding.
VOTING RIGHTS
As DeCryptoFi's business expands, it is the intention of
the Company to grant voting rights to Company shareholders.
Shareholders would be entitled to one vote per share.
NO PREEMPTIVE OR SIMILAR RIGHTS
Our common stock is not entitled to preemptive rights and
is not subject to conversion, redemption or sinking fund
provisions.
MERGER OR CONSOLODATION
In the case of any distribution or payment in respect of
the Company's common stock upon any potential consolidation or
merger with or into any other entity, or in the case of any
other transaction having an effect on stockholders substantially
similar to that resulting from a consolidation or merger, such
distribution or payment shall be made ratably on a per share
basis among the Company's shareholders.
REGULATORY CONSIDERATIONS
Below is a summary of certain current areas of government
regulation that apply to our business and potential regulatory
issues of which we are aware. As discussed below, we generally
believe that our business and the offering discussed in this
offering circular are compliant with these regulations, but in
certain cases there may be uncertainty related to that
conclusion.
Government Regulations
The regulatory treatment of securities offerings is
uncertain in many ways. In part, this uncertainty results from
the need for regulators to apply existing law to a new and
evolving set of technologies and assets. We anticipate that
regulation will evolve as various state, federal and
international government agencies take greater interest in
regulation of newly issued securities, especially with the
recent enactment of Regulation Best Interest ("Reg BI"), and the
current Dodd Frank provisions. We anticipate new regulations to
be established, at which point, if applicable to DeCryptoFi's
business model, we will take all necessary steps to ensure we
are compliant. In addition, various legislative and executive
bodies in the United States and in other countries may adopt new
laws, regulations, or guidance, or take other actions in the
future.
Any future regulatory actions applicable to DeCryptoFi
and our related activities could severely impact our operations
and the value of our securities. We may need to restructure
operations significantly to comply with any new regulation or
guidance. Failure to do so adequately or quickly enough could
result in regulatory action (such as investigations by the
government or a self-regulatory organization or government or
private litigation or administrative actions) that requires us
to spend significant time and effort, which would pull our
attention away from the core of our business and potentially
deplete our resources. It could also result in negative
publicity. Regulatory change could even potentially result in
certain aspects of our operations being viewed as impermissible,
which could result in a need for us to dramatically alter or
cease activities
Securities Act Considerations
Typically, offerings of securities in the U.S. are
required to register under the Securities Act with the SEC and,
in compliance with state law, with applicable state regulators
(blue sky regulations). Our current offering relies on an
exemption from federal registration under the Securities Act
provided by Regulation A, which also provides for preemption of
state registration requirements, but which also currently limits
issuances by a single issuer to offerings of no more than
$50,000,000 each year. We have also taken the position that the
commercial uses of our stock, including transfers between
owners, do not require registration or an exemption from
registration under state securities laws.
If in subsequent years after our initial filing we find
that our ability to issue additional shares would exceed the
$50m threshold provided by Reg A Tier 2, we recognize that we
may need to fully register our securities with the SEC and/or to
register our shares of stock with one or more U.S. state
securities regulators.
Exchange Act Considerations
Registration as Transfer Agents.
Under the Exchange Act, a transfer agent is a person who
engages, with respect to securities registered under Section 12
of the Exchange Act, in (a) countersigning issued securities,
(b) monitoring issued securities, with the goal of preventing
unauthorized issuances, (c) registering transfers of issued
securities, (d) exchanging or converting issued securities, or
(e) transferring record ownership of securities by bookkeeping
entry without physical issuance of securities certificates.
Transfer agents are typically required to register with the SEC
under the Exchange Act. Because our distributed software will
record the owner of our stock, and/or the debt of clients we
potentially assist in going public that may not be listed on an
exchange at the time of going public, we could be viewed as
engaging in these types of activities.
We have taken the position that DeCryptoFi, and anyone
operating its software should not be required to register as a
transfer agent because direct sale of stock from seller to buyer
without an exchange or marketplace is not captured or described
in the definition of a transfer agent, nor is such action
directly facilitated by DeCryptoFi. Further, we believe that
DeCryptoFi's software and its software operators are not
required to register as transfer agents. Software Operators are
paid resources of DeCryptoFi via the Work Compensation Plan and
as such are not independent entities. They hold no autonomy to
make decisions, prioritize transactions, impose fees, or
facilitate a
marketplace. Our software operators solely record transactions
on behalf of DeCryptoFi so that the company may have an accurate
account of its investors and any transactions they make. Each
proposed transaction involving DeCryptoFi's securities will be
individually negotiated and implemented. The Company recognizes
that in the foreseeable future, the Company may be required to
list its securities on a registered exchange and utilize
registered transfer agents, at which point the Company will take
all reasonable steps to remain compliant with all applicable
laws.,
It is possible that the SEC or another regulator would
disagree with our position. If so, we, or anyone running our
software could be forced to register as a transfer agent and
comply with applicable law, which could lead to significant
costs to DeCryptoFi and could force DeCryptoFi to change or
cease its operations. It could also lead to considerable
uncertainty as to how we would comply with regulation, which
would likely result in a need for
a relatively long registration process and could ultimately
prove prohibitive to our business model. Any of these
developments would decrease the value of the stock sold in this
offering.
Registration as Clearing Agency
Also under the Exchange Act, a clearing agency is any
person who (a) acts as an intermediary in making payments or
deliveries, or both, in connection with transactions in
securities; (b) provides facilities for comparison of data
respecting the terms of settlement of securities transactions,
to reduce the number of settlements of securities transactions,
or for the allocation of securities settlement responsibilities;
(c) acts as a custodian of securities in connection with a
system for the central handling of securities whereby all
securities of a particular class or series of any issuer
deposited within the system are treated as fungible and may be
transferred, loaned, or pledged by bookkeeping entry without
physical delivery of securities certificates; or (d) otherwise
permits or facilitates the settlement of securities transactions
or the hypothecation or lending of securities without physical
delivery of securities certificates. A clearing agency does not
include any person solely by reason of performing a transfer
agent function, specifically transferring record ownership of
securities by bookkeeping entry without physical issuance of
securities certificates. Clearing agencies are generally
required to register with the SEC and comply with applicable
regulation. Because DeCryptoFi, or anyone operating our software
will be involved in recording transfers in the stock, they could
be viewed as engaging in these types of activities.
We have taken the position that DeCryptoFi, and anyone
operating its software are not clearing agencies under the
Exchange Act because the types of activities they engage in are
not those described in the definition of a clearing agency. To
the extent that transfers are recorded by our software, the
software is not a "person" that would be required to register.
It is possible that the SEC or another regulator would
disagree with our position. If so, we, or anyone running our
software could be forced to register as a clearing agency and
comply with applicable law, which could lead to significant
costs to DeCryptoFi and could force DeCryptoFi to change or
cease its operations. It could also lead to considerable
uncertainty as to how we would comply with regulation, which
would likely result in a need for a relatively long registration
process and could ultimately prove prohibitive to our business
model. Any of these developments would decrease the value of the
stock sold in this offering.
Registration as an Exchange or ATS
Rule 240.3b16 of the Exchange Act requires registration
for any organization, association, or group of persons who
maintain or provide "a marketplace or facilities for bringing
together purchasers and sellers of securities or for otherwise
performing with respect to securities the functions commonly
performed by a stock exchange if such organization, association,
or group of persons:
(1) Brings together the orders for securities of multiple
buyers and sellers; and
(2) Uses established, non-discretionary methods (whether
by providing a trading facility or by setting rules) under which
such orders interact with each other, and the buyers and sellers
entering such orders agree to the terms of a trade.
Entities that are engaged as "exchanges" or "ATS" with respect
to securities are subject to federal registration and
significant regulatory oversight by the SEC and FINRA. Exchanges
and ATSs are generally networks that constitute, maintain, or
provide a marketplace or facilities for bringing together the
orders of multiple purchasers and multiple sellers of
securities. A system "brings together" orders if it displays
trading interests entered on the system to users (e.g., through
consolidated quote screens) or receives orders for processing
and execution. This does not include systems that have only one
seller for each security (e.g., the issuer), even if there are
multiple buyers.
We have taken the position that DeCryptoFi's platform and
its software is not viewed as an exchange or an ATS because
neither will "bring together" anyone by sorting or organizing
orders in the Company's securities in a consolidated way or by
receiving orders for processing and execution of transactions in
the Company's shares. Rather, each proposed transaction
involving DeCryptoFi's stock will be individually negotiated and
implemented without DeCryptoFi's involvement. DeCryptoFi's
software will maintain a list of shareholders to ensure the
company knows whom to send shareholder notifications required
under the SEC. It is possible that the SEC or another regulator
would disagree with our position. If so, we could be forced to
register the platform and/or our software as an exchange or ATS
and comply with applicable law, which could lead to significant
costs to DeCryptoFi and could force it to change or cease its
operations. Any of these developments could decrease the value
of the securities sold in this offering.
Registration as a Broker-Dealer
Under the Exchange Act, a "broker" is a person engaged in
the business of effecting transactions in securities for the
account of others. We believe that our software operators do not
fit under this definition and we have updated our disclosure
language on page 23 to reflect the basis for this conclusion.
Our disclosure now reads, in part: "[O]ur software is
responsible for recording shareholder information so that
DeCryptoFi has an accurate list of current shareholders at any
point in time. It does not and is not capable of operate as a
broker - buying and selling securities for its own account or on
behalf of any customer. It is also not capable of acting as a
deal and executing orders on behalf of any client which it has
none. This does not change regardless of whom a Software
Operator may be. As such operators should not be considered
broker-dealers, because they do not buy or sell a security on
anyone's behalf, they simply operate our software that is
responsible for keeping an up-to-date list of security owners on
behalf of DeCrytpoFi in order for the company to facilitate its
regulatory compliance. Payment amounts made through DeCryptoFi's
Work Compensation Plan are preset, do not fluctuate from a
predetermined amount and are not transaction-based compensation.
As such, it is DeCryptoFi's view that recording shareholder
information on behalf of the company does not constitute a
broker dealer.
Further, the Company has given weight to Rule 3a4-1,
"Associated Persons of an Issuer Deemed Not to be Brokers" and
believe that the Company's software operators are not associated
persons of DeCryptoFi. According to Exchange Act Rule 3a4-
1(c)(1), the term associated person of an issuer means any
natural person who is a partner, officer, director, or employee
of the issuer. The Rule 3a4-1 Safe Harbor applies to our
software operators, as they are not subject to any statutory
disqualification; they are not compensated in connection with
the sale of DeCryptoFi's securities by the payment of
commissions or other remuneration based either directly or
indirectly on transactions in the securities; and they are not
an associated person of a broker or dealer at the time of the
sale. In addition, the role of the software operators are
passive in nature, and are in essence, simply performing
ministerial and clerical work involved in effecting a securities
transaction.
It is possible that the SEC or another regulator would
disagree with our position. If so, DeCryptoFi or its software
operators could be forced to register as broker-dealers and
comply with applicable law. This would disrupt our business
significantly, perhaps making it prohibitive to operate, and
would likely lead to a decrease or complete loss in the value of
the Stock.
Reporting Company Considerations
Under Regulation A, we will have limited ongoing
reporting obligations to investors relative to the obligations
of companies that are "reporting companies" for purposes of the
Exchange Act. The exemption that allows this lighter reporting,
however, is in part dependent on the use of a transfer agent
with respect to a company's securities. We do not intend to
engage a transfer agent with respect to our securities, in part
because the types of activities a transfer agent would normally
engage in are performed automatically by our software. As a
result, as a practical matter, we also do not think we would be
able to comply with the transfer agent requirement, and we do
not think it applies to or would provide additional investor
protections for this offering.
It is possible that a regulator would disagree with this
position and, as a result, require us to file the full set of
reports required of a reporting company. If so, we would need to
spend considerable additional time and effort to provide the
required reports. This could have a material adverse effect on
our operations, which in turn could affect the value of our
Company stock.
Retired Stock
We are currently set to retire 2% of the stock every 4 years.
The company will not be purchasing the 2% stock being retired
every 4 years after our initial offering but will be charging a
flat fee per transaction not to exceed 20 shares of stock (with
a value of $2.00 at offering) per transfer between a stock
seller and stock buyer for recording the transaction. This
fee/stock will be retired immediately and automatically at the
time of the transaction. DeCryptoFi will follow Accounting for
Stock BuyBack and Retirement (ASC 505-30-30-8) which reads in
part, 30-8 When a corporation's stock is retired, or repurchased
for constructive retirement (with or without an intention to
retire the stock formally in accordance with applicable laws),
an excess of repurchase price over par or stated value may be
allocated between additional paid-in capital and retained
earnings. Alternatively, the excess may be charged entirely to
retained earnings in recognition of the fact that a corporation
can always capitalize or allocate retained earnings for such
purposes. If a portion of the excess is allocated to additional
paid-in capital, it shall be limited to the sum of both of the
following:
a. All additional paid-in capital arising from previous
retirements and net gains on sales of treasury stock of the same
issue
b. The pro rata portion of additional paid-in capital, voluntary
transfers of retained earnings, capitalization of stock
dividends, and so forth, on the same issue. For this purpose,
any remaining additional paid-in capital applicable to issues
fully retired (formal or constructive) is deemed to be
applicable pro rata to shares of common stock.
It is possible that a regulator would disagree with this
position. If so, we may be required to significantly restructure
the transactions, which could lead to significant costs to the
Company and could force it to change or cease the operations.
This would result in a loss or decrease in value of the Stock.
Foreign Considerations
We may also subject to a variety of foreign laws and
regulations that involve matters central to our business. These
could include, for example, regulations related to user privacy
such as the General Data Protection Regulation, potential
broker-dealer or exchange activities, data protection, and
intellectual property, among others. In certain cases, foreign
laws may be more restrictive than those in the U.S. Although we
believe we are operating in compliance with the laws of
jurisdictions in which DeCryptoFi exists, foreign laws and
regulations are constantly evolving and can be subject to
significant change. In addition, the application and
interpretation of these laws and regulations are often
uncertain, particularly in the new and rapidly evolving industry
in which we operate. As a result, we are involved in face an
uncertain regulatory landscape in many foreign jurisdictions,
including but not limited to the European Union. Other foreign
jurisdictions may also adopt laws, regulations or directives
that affect the similar types of securities offerings.
We have adopted policies and procedures designed to
comply with the laws that apply to us as we understand them.
However, the growth of our business and its expansion outside of
the U.S. may increase the potential of violating foreign laws or
our own internal policies and procedures. The risk of our
Company being found in violation of applicable laws and
regulations is further increased by the fact that many of them
are open to a variety of interpretations given the absence of
formal interpretation by regulatory authorities or the courts.
Any action brought against us by a foreign regulator or
in a private action based on foreign law could cause us to incur
significant legal expenses and divert our management's attention
from the operation of the business. If our operations are found
to be in violation of any laws and regulations, we may be
subject to penalties associated with the violation, including
civil and criminal penalties, damages and fines; we could be
required to refund payments received by us; and we could be
required to curtail or cease operations. Any of these
consequences could seriously harm our business and financial
results. In addition, existing and proposed laws and regulations
can be costly to comply with and can delay or impede the
development of new products, result in negative publicity,
increase operating costs, require significant management time
and attention, and subject us to claims or other remedies,
including fines or demands that we modify or cease existing
business practices.
Any applicable foreign laws, regulations or directives
may also conflict with those of the United States. The effect of
any future regulatory change is impossible to predict, but any
change could be substantial and materially adverse to the
adoption and value of the securities and our operations.

STATE LAW EXEMPTION AND PURCHASE RESTRICTIONS
Our shares of Common stock are being offered and sold
only to "qualified purchasers" (as defined in Regulation A under
the Securities Act). As a Tier 2 offering pursuant to Regulation
A under the Securities Act, this Offering is exempt from state
law "Blue Sky" review, subject to meeting certain state filing
requirements and complying with certain anti-fraud provisions,
to the extent that our Class A shares offered hereby are offered
and sold only to "qualified purchasers" or at a time when our
Class A shares are listed on a national securities exchange.
"Qualified purchasers" include: (i) "accredited investors" under
Rule 501(a) of Regulation D and (ii) all other investors so long
as their investment in our Class A shares does not represent
more than 10% of the greater of their annual income or net worth
(for natural persons), or 10% of the greater of annual revenue
or net assets at fiscal year-end (for non-natural persons).
Accordingly, we reserve the right to reject any investor's
subscription in whole or in part for any reason, including if we
determine in our sole and absolute discretion that such investor
is not a "qualified purchaser" for purposes of Regulation A.
To determine whether a potential investor is an "accredited
investor" for purposes of satisfying one of the tests in the
"qualified purchaser" definition, the investor must be a natural
person who has:
1. The individual must have a net worth greater than $1 million,
either individually or jointly with the individual's spouse.
Except for the special provisions described below, individuals
should include all their assets and all of their liabilities in
calculating net worth, excluding the value of their primary
residence; or
2. persons who had an income of at least $200,000 in each of the
two most recent years (or $300,000 together with their spouse)
and have a reasonable expectation of reaching the same income
level in the current year.
If the investor is not a natural person, different standards
apply. See Rule 501 of Regulation D for more details.
For purposes of determining whether a potential investor
is a "qualified purchaser," annual income and net worth should
be calculated as provided in the "accredited investor"
definition under Rule 501 of Regulation D. Net worth in all
cases should be calculated excluding the value of an investor's
home, home furnishings and automobiles.
DILUTION
Dilution refers to the reduction in value, control, or
earnings of the shares the investor owns.
IMMEDIATE DILUTION
An early-stage company typically sells its shares (or
grants options over its shares) to its founders and early
employees at a very low cash cost, because they are, in effect,
putting their "sweat equity" into the company. When the company
seeks cash investments from outside investors, like you, the new
investors typically pay a larger sum for their shares than the
founders or earlier investors, which means that the cash value
of your stake is diluted because each share of the same type is
worth the same amount, and you paid more for your shares than
earlier investors did for theirs.
The Company acknowledges that the dilution may be
substantial under certain market conditions. The Company further
acknowledges that its obligations under the Transaction
Documents, including without limitation its obligation to issue
the Securities (including the Underlying Shares) pursuant to the
Transaction Documents, are unconditional and absolute and not
subject to any right of set off, counterclaim, delay or
reduction, regardless of the effect of any such dilution or any
claim that the Company may have against any Purchaser.
The following table summarizes the differences between
the total consideration and the weighted-average price per share
paid by, on the one hand, officers, directors, promoters and
affiliates of DeCryptoFi who have acquired shares prior to the
date of this offering circular and, on the other hand, investors
participating in this offering, before deducting estimated
offering expenses, assuming that the maximum number of shares
are sold at the $0.10 per share price. The table compares the
price that new investors are paying for their shares with the
effective cash price paid by existing shareholders, giving
effect to full conversion of all outstanding stock options. The
schedule presents shares and pricing as issued and reflects all
transactions since inception, which gives investors a better
picture of what they will pay for their investment compared to
the company's insiders:

FUTURE DILUTION
Another important way of looking at dilution is the
dilution that happens due to future actions by the company. The
investor's stake in a company could be diluted due to the
company issuing additional shares, whether as part of a capital-
raising event, or issued as compensation to the company's
employees or marketing partners. In other words, when the
company issues more shares, the percentage of the company that
you own will go down, even though the value of the company may
go up. You will own a smaller piece of a larger company. This
increase in number of shares outstanding could result from a
stock offering (such as an initial public offering, another
crowdfunding round, a venture capital round, angel investment),
employees exercising stock options, or by conversion of certain
instruments (i.e., convertible bonds, preferred shares or
warrants) into stock.
If the company decides to issue more shares, an investor
could experience value dilution, with each share being worth
less than before, and control dilution, with the total
percentage an investor owns being less than before. There may
also be earnings dilution, with a reduction in the amount earned
per share (though this typically occurs only if the company
offers dividends, and most development stage companies do not
pay dividends for some time).
The type of dilution that hurts early-stage investors
most occurs when the company sells more shares in a "down
round," meaning at a lower valuation than in earlier offerings.
An example of how this might occur is as follows (numbers are
for illustrative purposes only):
?
In June 2014, Jane invests $20,000 for shares that represent 2%
of a company valued at $1 million.
?
In December, the company is doing very well and sells $5
million in shares to venture capitalists on a
valuation (before the new investment) of $10 million. Jane now
owns only 1.3% of the company,
but her stake is worth $200,000.
?
In June 2015, the company has run into serious problems, and in
order to stay afloat, it raises $1 million
at a valuation of only $2 million (the "down round"). Jane now
owns only 0.89% of the company,
and her stake is worth only $26,660.
If you are making an investment expecting to own a
certain percentage of the company or expecting each share to
hold a certain amount of value, it's important to realize how
the value of those shares can decrease by actions taken by the
company. Dilution can make drastic changes to the value of each
share, ownership percentage, voting control, and earnings per
share. In some cases, dilution can also completely wipe out the
value of investments made by early investors, without any person
being at fault. Investors should understand how dilution works
and the availability of anti-dilution protection.
DeCryptoFi is committed to zero new share issuance outside of
the 500,000,000 shares in existence today.
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Impact of COVID-19
You should read the following discussion and analysis of our
financial condition and results of operations together with our
consolidated financial statements and the related notes and
other financial information included elsewhere in this offering
circular. Some of the information contained in this discussion
and analysis, including information with respect to our plans
and strategy for our business, includes forward-looking
statements that involve risks and uncertainties. You should
review the "Risk Factors" section of this offering circular for
a discussion of important factors that could cause actual
results to differ materially from the results described in or
implied by the forward-looking statements contained in the
following discussion and analysis.
In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared the
outbreak of a novel coronavirus (COVID-19) as a pandemic, which
continues to spread throughout the U.S and other countries. As a
result, Company franchisees have temporarily closed some retail
locations, reduced or modified store operating hours, adopted a
"to-go" only operating model, or implemented a combination of
these actions. These actions have reduced consumer traffic,
resulting in a negative impact to Company revenues. While the
disruption to our business from the COVID-19 pandemic is
currently expected to be temporary, there is a great deal of
uncertainty around the severity and duration of the disruption,
and also the longer-term effects on our business and economic
growth and consumer demand in the U.S. and worldwide.
The effects of COVID-19 may continue to materially
adversely affect our business, results of operations and
liquidity, particularly if these effects continue in place for a
significant amount of time. As additional information becomes
available regarding the potential impact and the duration of the
negative financial effects of the current pandemic, the Company
may determine that an impairment adjustment to the recorded
value of trademarks, goodwill and other intangible assets may be
necessary.
Effects of COVID-19 on Liquidity and Operations
While the Company expects COVID-19 to negatively impact
its business, results of operations and financial position, the
full financial impact cannot be reasonably estimated at this
time. The Company currently believes that its working capital
combined with our disciplined management of the Company'
operating expenses, will be sufficient to meet our current
liquidity needs. However, COVID-19 pandemic events will continue
to evolve over time and the negative effects on the operations
of our franchisees could prove to be worse than we currently
estimate.
Business Overview and Outlook
Decentralized Crypto Financial Inc. uses proprietary
software to assist small and medium sized companies in
determining the best approach to raising capital. The Company
will utilize software operators in a 1099 capacity to further
assist with automating the navigation of public and private
offerings, as well as the applicable regulatory and compliance
components for the Company's prospective clients. These software
operators will be compensated via the Stock Compensation Plan,
and although they will not be employees of DeCryptoFi, any and
all rules and regulations applied to DeCryptoFi shall directly
apply to our software operators to the same extent the
applicable rules and regulations apply to DeCryptoFi itself.
We do not anticipate any change to our operations if 25%,
50%, 75% or 100% of our offering is sold. The Company believes
that it has the necessary foundation and key components to fully
maintain its operations until 100% of the offering is sold.
Further, the proceeds from the initial offering will satisfy the
Company's cash requirements and as such, there will be no need
to raise additional funds within the first six (6) months that
the Offering becomes qualified.
Trends and Key Factors Affecting Our Performance
Investment in Long-Term Growth.
The core elements of the Company's growth strategy
include acquiring new customers, broadening distribution
capabilities, enhancing data and software functionality, and
expanding product offerings. The Company plans to continue to
invest significant resources to accomplish these goals, and the
Company anticipates that its operating expenses will continue to
increase for the foreseeable future, particularly sales and
marketing and technology expenses. These investments are
intended to contribute to long-term growth, but they may affect
near-term profitability.
Originations.
The Company's future growth will continue to depend, in
part, on attracting additional investors as well as additional
companies wanting to utilize our software. The Company plans to
increase its sales and marketing spending and seek to attract
these investors and companies. We expect to rely on strategic
partners, affinity networks, social media, and conference and
speaking events for investor growth. The Company expects there
to
be a consistent need of undercapitalized companies seeking
capital raising alternatives. The extent to which the Company
can satisfy this ongoing demand will be an important factor in
its continued revenue growth.
Use of GAAP Financial Measures
DeCryptoFi's management's discussion and analysis of
DeCryptoFi's financial condition and results of operations is
based on its financial statements, which have been prepared in
accordance with United States generally accepted accounting
principles, or U.S. GAAP. The preparation of these financial
statements requires DeCryptoFi to make estimates and assumptions
that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and
the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date
of the financial statements, as well as the reported revenue
generated, and expenses incurred during the reporting periods.
DeCryptoFi's estimates are based on its comparable and on
various other factors that DeCryptoFi believes are reasonable
under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for
making judgments about the carrying value of assets and
liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources.
Actual results may differ from these estimates under different
assumptions or conditions. Due to the fact that DeCryptoFi was
not formed until August 2020 DeCryptoFi believes that the
accounting policies discussed may be of little use to
understanding DeCryptoFi historical and future performance, as
these policies relate to the more significant areas involving
management's judgments and estimates.
When we prepare our consolidated financial statements in
conformity with GAAP, we must make estimates and assumptions
that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, and the
reported amounts of revenue and expenses during each reporting
period. Our estimates may include those related to revenue
recognition, accounts receivable allowances, intangible assets,
share-based compensation expense, income taxes and programming
costs. Actual results included in this offering circular, and in
future financial results, could differ from the original
estimates.
Under ASC 606, an entity recognizes revenue when its
customer obtains control of promised goods or services, in an
amount that reflects the consideration which the entity expects
to receive in exchange for those goods or services. To determine
revenue recognition for arrangements that DeCryptoFi determines
are within the scope of ASC 606, the following five steps are
performed:
a. Identify the contract(s) with a customer.
b. Identify the performance obligations in the contract.
c. Determine the transaction price.
d. Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations
in the contract; and
e. Recognize revenue when (or as) DeCryptoFi satisfies a
performance obligation

Authorized Shares. A total of 50,000,000 shares of our corporate
common stock are reserved for issuance as the Company sees fit.
Upon qualification, if the Company determines that issuing these
shares will neither its shareholders nor increase the value of
the Company, then the Company may determine that such shares
shall be available for future grant or sale. As the Company
continues grow and better understand its strengths and
weaknesses, the Company may decide to adopt a formalized
incentive plan, which will then outline the specifications that
must be met. Currently, there is no such plan in place, nor is
there any intention to memorialize any such plan.
Stock Options. Upon qualification, the Company may determine, at
a later date, that it wishes to compensate its employees in the
form of stock options. While no such plan is currently in place,
if the Company does decide to implement a stock option plan,
certain guidelines must be followed: The term of an incentives
stock option may not exceed 10 years; the stock option strike
price shall be equal to its fair market value of the Company's
stock on the day the option is granted except that with respect
to incentive stock options granted to any participant who owns
more than 10% of the voting power of outstanding stock, the
exercise price must generally equal at least 110% of the fair
market value on the grant date and the term must not exceed five
years. The Company will determine the methods of payment of the
exercise price of an option, which may include cash, shares or
other property acceptable to the Company, as well as other types
of consideration permitted by applicable law. After the
termination of service of an employee, director or consultant,
he or she may exercise his or her option for the period of time
stated in his or her option agreement. Unless otherwise provided
for by the Company, if termination is due to death or
disability, the option will remain exercisable for 12 months and
in all other cases, the option will generally remain exercisable
for three months following the termination of service. These are
simply guidelines and the Company may amend some or all of these
guidelines if the company introduces an incentivized stock
option plan.
Code of Ethics. Effective upon consummation of this offering, we
will adopt a code of ethics that applies to all of our
respective executive officers, directors, and employees. The
code of ethics will codify the business and ethical principles
that govern all aspects of our business.
SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF MANAGEMENT AND CERTAIN SECURITYHOLDERS
The following table sets forth information regarding the
beneficial ownership of our shares of our common stock as of the
date of this offering circular. Since DeCryptoFi will only be
offering only one class of stock, and since our insider is
subject to a predetermined lock-up period, there is no need to
adjust to reflect the sale of all of the Shares offered by this
preliminary offering circular (assuming none of the individuals
listed purchase shares in this offering), by:
1. each person known by us to be the beneficial owner of more
than 5% of our outstanding shares.
2. each of our executive officers and directors; and
3. all our executive officers and directors as a group.
Unless otherwise indicated, we believe that all persons
named in the table have sole voting and investment power with
respect to all shares beneficially owned by them. Additionally,
except as otherwise indicated, beneficial ownership reflected in
the table has been determined in accordance with Rule 13d-3
promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended.

Board of Directors
Decentralized Crypto Financial Inc.
Chantilly, Virginia
We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial
statements of Decentralized Crypto Financial Inc., which
comprise the balance sheets as of August 31, 2020 and the
related consolidated statements of income, changes in equity,
and cash flows for the years then ended, and the related notes
to the consolidated financial statements.
MANAGEMENT'S RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair
presentation of these consolidated financial statements in
accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States of America; this includes the design,
implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to
the preparation and fair presentation of consolidated financial
statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due
to fraud or error.
AUDITORS' RESPONSIBILITY
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We
conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards
generally accepted in the United States of America. Those
standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial
statements are free from material misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence
about the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial
statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditors'
judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material
misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether
due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the
auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity's
preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial
statements in order to design audit procedures that are
appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of
expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity's
internal control. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An
audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting
policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting
estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall
presentation of the consolidated financial statements.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is
sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit
opinion.
OPINION
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred
to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial
position of Decentralized Crypto Financial Inc. as of August 31,
2020, and the results of their operations and their cash flows
for the years then ended in accordance with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENT
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
The accompanying notes are an integral part of this consolidated
financial statement.
ORGANIZATION AND NATURE OF BUSINESS
We are an early-stage financial technology company that has
created a proprietary software that will allow small and mid-
sized companies to fully understand the complexities surrounding
initial public offerings and private placement offerings. Our
software is geared towards companies that seek alternatives to
the issuance of bank loans in order to raise capital. Our
company allows for the automation of various Self-Regulatory
Organizations (SRO) initial and ongoing regulatory reporting and
filings, and assists companies that lack the relevant expertise
and/or personnel to be fully compliant with investor disclosure
obligations, privacy notifications, Anti-Money laundering
regulations, etc. Our proprietary software also has the
capability to track various asset classes and automate investor
documentation, such as proxy statements, dividend payments, and
GDPR notifications.

generally accepted accounting principles requires management to

period. Actual results could differ from those estimates and may
have impact on future periods.
