Dear $BBI Token Holder,

A core group of contributors on $BBI have been building for the last several years and we are getting ready to start showcasing some of the platform and the utility of $BBI. Our first alpha test will be around a Beluga Gaming and Beluga Voice platforms which we plan to launch as part of our BelugaOS Digital Storefront Merchant Solutions.

Our mission remains the same, to make the lives of merchants better. A major difference with the products we have pivoted into is that Beluga is looking to disrupt digital goods and digital storefronts.

We believe there is a massive opportunity providing merchant solutions for digital creators.

LESSONS LEARNED IN BELUGA Version 1

• In retrospect, our hypothesis that brick and mortar merchants using Beluga Pay would transact in crypto we believe was too early. Only a handful from hundreds of merchants ever transacted in crypto with our early test.
• We onboarded large customers that had high risk profiles and chargebacks from credit cards negatively impacted the project.
• Our community communication broke down while a pivot was necessary.

A PIVOT TOWARDS THE FUTURE

A major learning lesson is to build a digital-first platform where merchants from anywhere in the world can easily use Beluga Products and Services. We will launch first with $BBI integration and plan to add credit card processing in the near future. We have been building for the last few years and excited to update you on:

• VOICE PAYMENTS: A Payment Platform for Creators. Managing payments, content and monetization for digital good creators. Starting with Monetizing Your Voice - create a Question and Answers Voice Storefront in under 5 minutes. This product is an Early Alpha Version and called Doglit.com - Use $BBI in order to unlock Premium Services. We would love to hear your thoughts. Please send us some early feedback to support@belugapay.com!
• GAME PAYMENTS: We are rolling out a Game Payments layer to help Game Developers accept crypto. Starting with Javascript games and bridging into a Unity SDK. We have been working with ChainSafe SDK in order to securely bring payments in-game. You can see an Early Alpha Version of our Game Payments at app.belugaos.com. Please use at your own risk as this is in early stages of development. We will be onboarding developers and other communities who would like to use these types of tools for community engagement.
• Last but not least, constant communication and roadmap updates to share with you our progress. Please visit BelugaOS.com for full details. We plan to launch on-chain voting with consensus-based community decision on where to steer the future of the project.
• The goal is to continue to push the $BBI Utility for the World's Digital Merchants. We plan to launch innovative tools that can be integrated into Merchant's Digital Storefronts beginning with gaming and voice tools. Use $BBI or BelugaOS NFT to access enterprise and premium features.

We are currently updating our website and will update shortly. For all news regarding Beluga V2 please follow https://t.me/BelugaOS_channel. We do not have any other official or social channels. All updates will occur on this website and above Telegram Channel.

We want to thank you the community for your patience. Despite crypto meltdowns, wars and pandemics our project was slowed down and regroup with like-minded contributors. Thanks again for your continued patience.

We believe the time is right to re-invent the digital storefront for merchants around the globe.

Sincerely,

The Beluga Team
