Introducing TOOL Global's plans for 2019, Dr.Patrick Schueffel, Secretary-General of the WOLOT Foundation, explained how thecreation of mini ecosystems across industries in the TOOL Ecosystem assures theOLO cryptocurrency value: "Our end is to onboard 100,000 SMEs into ourecosystem in the next 12 months. These mini ecosystems are non-profit oriented.These will make OLO rise in value overtime. However a ecosystem will not lastlong if there are no rules and regulations in place, which is why we'veintroduced the TEMC and TCN programmes.

The TCN programme was built to furtherreinforce the community co-building nature of the TOOL Ecosystem. Successfulnodes are awarded with income via mining and service fees from each completedtransaction, on top of other benefits related to hashing behaviours (BT/OLOconversion fee, BT issue service fees).

Sean Webster, Founder of Cynosure and CapitalMarkets Consultant to TOOL Global, continued, stating they've alreadyidentified many public companies that are interested in potentialcollaborations with TOOL Global and OLO in the capital market.

Chairman of Zhang Fei Mao (anartist-to-consumer platform for art trading, one of the first adopters ofTOOL), Mr. Liu Zhen Tao explained how users act not only as end consumers inthe ecosystem but also as creators and gainers: "Everyone's afraid offake/replica products, especially if they're highly priced items. But throughblockchain/detailed analytics, all buyers can acquire accurate information."

Social E-commerce and community founder, Mr.Wang Zhi Hai, explained from a community management perspective on how Behaviouraltokens (BT) in the TOOL Ecosystem encourages participation in a group sinceuser activity usually dies down after a short period due to the lack ofrecognition and/or rewards from participation. "In order for businesses tobuild a loyal user base, staying connected is key. The issue comes when usersrefuse to engage due to a lack of incentives to do so."

The event is the first of a series of globalstops the WOLOT Foundation hopes to take its TOOL Global project to. By doingso, the foundation aims to establish connections and alliances with potentialcommunity leaders, businesses, and technology experts in hopes of achievingco-governance and transparency in its ecosystem.
