Vision And Mission Statement SugarBounce is a game-changing ecosystem, ready to present a consummate universe for all NSFW entertainment needs to the next generation of viewers. We aim to be the leaders in decentralized adult content on the blockchain. SugarBounce will tap into this massively underexplored opportunity by bridging the gap between lucrative adult entertainment and one of the greatest advancements in information technology. We plan to lead the field in this emerging market by demonstrating how crypto and the blockchain can safely and effectively work in a highly-profitable NSFW context. SugarBounce | Whitepaper >>>> 03
The Online Adult Entertainment Industry Globally, adult entertainment is a $100+ billion revenue generator, according to Kassia Wosick, assistant professor of sociology at New Mexico State University. Today, the online adult entertainment industry caters to the many multi-faceted needs of society and can be categorized into the following general sectors: SugarBounce | Whitepaper >>>> 04
Industry Trends Historically, the adult entertainment industry has consistently driven the mainstream adoption of new technologies. From the early 1970s when the increasing accessibility of adult content on VHS tapes killed Sony’s Betamax, to the late 1990s when the availability of images on the internet upended most erotic magazine companies – this industry has always been at the forefront of the latest advancements in tech. Since then, the internet has become the main medium of adult entertainment for society worldwide, and the recent adoption of AI recommendation engines and VR technology is already driving innovation in the sector today. Viewership of adult content has always been high and multiplied over the past few decades. Consumption of adult content – by women especially – has risen exponentially: The percentage of women watching adult content in the 1990s was less than 1% and is now well over 26%.

As is evident from the data above, this industry has come a long way since camcorders,
VHS tapes, CDs, and DVDs were introduced as latest technological advances. With the
inception of the internet and the ease of accessibility that followed, adult entertainment
has grown 100-times its worth of a meager 1 billion dollars since the 1990s.
SugarBounce | Whitepaper >>>> 06
It is apparent just from a quick glance at the data above that this explosive growth
shows no sign of slowing down anytime soon, and with it the opportunities to capitalize
on this upward trajectory using innovative advancements in technology are nearly
unlimited.
However, it is also imperative to address that the current state of the industry is riddled
with problems.

SugarBounce | Whitepaper >>>> 07
Capital Theft From Artists The industry’s most substantial issue today is the severe discrimination of those who work within this industry and are exploited by banks, payment processors, and other traditional financial institutions. Despite its high profitability, adult merchants are deemed high-risk by financial service providers, mostly because the content they produce is considered taboo by society and seen as a reputational risk which in turn leads to significantly higher processing fees and increased chargebacks. The popular ‘adult-friendly’ payment processor CCBill takes a 10.8-14.5% cut of payments from these creators and charges a $1,000 ‘high-risk’ registration fee annually, pricing out many potential entrepreneurs and content creators. Moreover, some service providers entirely refuse to service those in the adult industry. In 2014, JPMorgan Chase closed the bank accounts of several high-profile adult industry entertainers and their family members without considerable notice or justification. In 2015, Visa and Mastercard stopped processing payments for advertising on the classifieds community website backpage.com. Even typically flexible payment processors including PayPal have become notorious for suspending the accounts of industry members and seizing their funds with no reasonable explanation. This discrimination and censorship have persisted despite the FDIC declaring it unconstitutional and in violation of the First Amendment of the US Constitution. SugarBounce | Whitepaper >>>> 08
Exploitation By Middlemen Exploitation by middlemen of new as well as established talent in the adult entertainment industry is also rampant; many ‘talent agents’ demand outrageous fees due to a lack of competition in the space, and the scarce number of viable opportunities for creators to share their content and enough revenue to represent a livable wage from their art leaves them vulnerable to become trapped in unfair contracts where they remain unable to generate equitable income. A performer managed by a middleman (or a ‘talent management agency’) receives 20-40% of their business income on average; most adult video platforms take between 30-50% from all earnings. Online video content and cam sites are popping up all over the web at a rapid pace and are looking to cater to different interests and niches. However, the underlying issue of the continued exploitation of content creators still remains to be addressed in this evergreen industry. Since early 2020, the emerging COVID-19 pandemic has further increased traffic on adult content websites to extraordinary levels. SugarBounce | Whitepaper >>>> 09

SugarBounce | Whitepaper >>>> 010Case Studies
Mia Khalifa, one of the biggest names in the adult
film industry, also one of the most viewed adult
actresses around the world, does not make a single
penny off of her content - instead, millions of dollars
generated in ad revenue are derived solely by the
websites hosting her content. The artist herself was
paid only a total of $12,000 for a dozen shoots over
three months of content creation. No doubt this blatantly unfair capital exploitation led
to her retirement from the industry a month later, at the very peak of her popularity.
Jenni Lee, also known as Stephanie Sadorra, the
famous actress credited with over 100 adult films
till 2015 was accidentally discovered living on the
streets in a storm drainage in Las Vegas by a Dutch
documentary-making crew conducting interviews
with the homeless. More than 130 million people
have watched her films and to this day she holds
the 119th rank on the list of the top 120 best porn actresses in the world. Her profiles
on various adult film sites still retain tens of thousands of subscribers. But any money
coming in - and based on the popularity of her content, there is - Jenni is not seeing
it: Her total earnings for the entirety of her stint in porn add up to $100,000 as of 2019.
SugarBounce | Whitepaper >>>> 011Censorship
Censorship is another big issue in adult online entertainment. The following map of
online adult content censorship by country shows extremely censored regions in red
and highlights extremely liberal ones in green. Countries with the most censorship are
some of the countries that generate the most traffic to websites with free adult content.
A map of the world depicting different levels of censorship based upon economic regions -
Red signifies countries with the most stringent censorship, and green signifies ones that are
comparatively more complaisant.
Lack Of Anonymity
Anonymity is another concern for both adult content creators and viewers. In large
parts of the world, viewing and creating adult content remains extremely taboo, often
by law; current payment processors are designed to circumvent such roadblocks,
and identity verification is a prerequisite for the utilization of most traditional financial
instruments.
SugarBounce | Whitepaper >>>> 012Industry Monopolization By A Few Key Players
The adult film industry today is concentrated among only a handful of distribution
companies. Some of the biggest players include Hammy Media Limited, Larry Flynt
Publications, MindGeek, Private Media Group, Vivid Entertainment, and WGCZ Holdings.
The largest amongst these is the privately held Canadian company MindGeek. This
giant corporation operates some of the most popular pornographic video sharing
websites, including PornHub with its 42 billion visitors and over 6.83 million videos
uploaded in 2019 alone. In addition, MindGeek owns numerous adult film production
companies, such as Brazzers, Digital Playground, and men.com.
These colossal companies enable flagrant

hosting companies today are as follows:
Obviously, traditional companies generate significant revenue at the expense of
their models, which enables their unchecked growth and leads to the acquisition of
other independent websites, eventually transforming into monopolistic giants which
ultimately hamper competition, innovation, and advancements in the industry.
These uncurbed issues have almost become fundamental elements of the adult
entertainment industry, but they must be addressed. Other than the obvious necessity
for fairness and best practices within this sector of entertainment, innovative resolutions
to these problems also presents a huge revenue opportunity for new players in the
market.
SugarBounce | Whitepaper >>>> 013The Solution: SugarBounce SugarBounce is here to revolutionize the way adult content is created and consumed all over the world. Our goal is to empower content creators with the tools to develop and distribute their content to the masses using the Sugar Ecosystem. Powered by the blockchain, the Sugar Ecosystem will disrupt how content is consumed around the globe, empowering a new economy interconnected with our native token $TIP. Our platform will target and solve all the previously identified problems plaguing the industry, especially hefty commissions for content creators and anonymity for creators and viewers. Our payout to content creators is 90%, much more than any other platform out there, and we will fuel our growth from the adoption of our token $TIP. Ad revenues from our websites will go directly to content creators, streamers, and node hosts. SugarBounce | Whitepaper >>>> 014
Our creators will be able to own their content as NFTs, going as far as to give them the opportunity to earn passive income through their art long after they retire from the industry. The verifiable uniqueness of NFTs will impact both analog and digital realms the world over. Our ability to differentiate brings an entirely new layer to experiences, allowing for interactions that are more meaningful and personalized. Our payment processor will be completely anonymous, giving our creators and viewers peace of mind and the power to be sex-positive, no matter which part of the world they belong to. Exploitative middlemen for new talent will become irrelevant, and emerging as well as established talent will be able to crowdfund their own content through Sugar Starter. Because piracy is rampant in the industry, this issue will be tackled with Digital Right Management (DRM). DRM works by restricting playback of a file solely to users who have authenticated with a third-party DRM license server. DRM accomplishes this by including, or packaging, a DRM header in the segments of the file. The DRM packaging includes the information required to contact the license server and any encryption information needed to play a file. In the Sugar Architecture, the video is transcoded and then sent to a trusted DRM service provider to become secured. This is then sent over to our CDN where only authorized viewers are able to view the video. All of this – and much more – is possible with our game-changing Sugar Ecosystem which encapsulates all forms of adult entertainment under one brand. SugarBounce | Whitepaper >>>> 015

SugarBounce | Whitepaper >>>> 016Sugar Streams Access the exclusive live NSFW entertainment you like, from cams with your favorite model to virtual strip clubs anywhere, anytime. Forget censorship and national boundaries: Powered by a completely decentralized video streaming network, watch the content of your choice from anywhere in the world anonymously with no regional restrictions. Streaming nodes hosting content can earn $TIP similar to how miners earn Bitcoin. Our content creators will have their own rooms with customized settings. Before becoming a streamer on the platform, creators will have to go through a thorough KYC process to confirm their age. Adult viewers will sign in with their ID and purchase our token, $TIP. Viewers can then choose from a wide range of creators’ rooms. To enter the room, the viewers pay a minimal fee decided by the content creator. Upon entering the room, viewers tip the creator in $TIP per their liking or opt for a private show with a pay-per-minute billing system. Our platform will be generating revenue via advertisements, a percentage of which will also be shared automatically with creators and hosts. Top creators who bring the maximum amount of traffic and revenue will be rewarded. Our $TIP token is at the heart of all transactions which will serve to preserve the anonymity of our viewers and creators and will fuel our growth exponentially. SugarBounce | Whitepaper >>>> 017
Sugar Pals A subscription-based content distribution and video blogging service bringing the best moments of your stars to you. It allows content creators to receive funding directly from their fans monthly as well as one-time tips and the pay-per-view (PPV) feature. Influencers from all walks of life can create an account and immediately start monetizing their content on the platform instead of putting out free content on social media sites. They can post content, interact with people, and drive engagement. Exclusive personalized content is the future and will drive viewers to the platform for this reason. Viewers will pay the subscription fees and one-time tips with our $TIP token, and only a minor percentage of the subscription fees will be retained by the platform. Tips and revenue generated by the PPV feature will entirely go to creators. All content hosted on our platform will be the property of the creators and as such will be a lifelong source of revenue for them. Sugar Markets Adding a whole new dimension to NFTs / A new way to bring utility in NFTs / Revolutionary marketplace to launch and trade utility-based NFTs A whole new exchange for content creators and collectors to launch and trade NFTs backed by access to niche content. Our specialized NFT framework built on top of ERC-721 will allow creators to mint NFTs which gives the holders access to exclusive content for a time-bound period. Collectors can trade/borrow/lend these NFTs to derive more value over time. SugarBounce | Whitepaper >>>> 018
NFTs are the future and will drive the world of art, music, AND content creation for decades to come. But we have gone one step further and brought you utility NFTs – a revolutionary idea. Utility-driven NFTs will allow fans to experience exclusive content perks which will introduce a new dimension to fan engagement, enhancing existing interactions while allowing for the creation of new forms. The platform will mint utility-NFTs with creators allowing owners of these NFTs exclusive access to creators for a specific amount of time for a finite number of days. Traders will buy these NFTs for a fixed price set by creators. Traders can either sell these NFTs to other collectors or lease/rent them out to viewers for a price. All buying and selling happens on our platform with our native token, the $TIP. Sugar Starter Be a part of the next Fifty Shades of Grey / Own a piece of the next Fifty Shades of Grey The funding platform for the content of the 21st century. Content Creators can build niche content proposals that will be listed as a pool on Sugar Starter. Users can stake capital in these pools and fund the next Fifty Shades of Grey, earn monetization revenue for a lifetime as a co-owner of the NFT backing the content. Our one-of-a-kind platform will allow new and existing talent to create a proposal pool to crowdfund content. Investors will contribute to this pool as an investment and own this content as NFTs along with the creators. Viewers can watch this content for a predetermined price. Investors also have the option of funding a new content creator’s growth. SugarBounce | Whitepaper >>>> 019

Tech Stack
We aim to build a solution for decentralized censorship-free content distribution
that uses a crypto-economic protocol and incentives to create a video storage and
broadcasting network that is scalable, secure, and more cost-effective than centralized
alternatives.
For establishing a scalable modular architecture the SugarBounce ecosystem includes
development at the following layers:

SugarBounce | Whitepaper >>>> 021SugarBounce Core
The SugarBounce Core provides the foundational live video streaming and
storage infrastructure along with other backend modules which enable complete
decentralization for the ecosystem: a Live Video Streaming Network, a Payment
Channel, a decentralized utility token, an advertisement network, a User Registry, and
an indexing and search module. These will be open source and free to use.
SugarStream Network
The SugarStream network will enable an HD live video streaming infrastructure
that supports the entire range of mobile devices. Platform businesses will be able
to leverage our video player software to seamlessly connect content creators with
viewers. The video player will interoperate with the user’s MetaMask wallet, allowing
users to join private shows and tip them and also subscribe to exclusive content.
Benefits of using a decentralized video streaming network
Users can earn rewards for supporting the network - For sharing excess
bandwidth and resources, users are now rewarded to participate in the
network.
Higher quality, smoother video streaming - A decentralized peer-to-peer
network delivers streams efficiently globally.
Reduced cost of delivering video streams - Video platforms no longer need
to build expensive infrastructure, which means more innovation and unique
business models.
SugarBounce | Whitepaper >>>> 022SugarPay SugarPay will be the primary payment middleware for the SugarBounce ecosystem, allowing users to process payments for a fraction of the cost of traditional payment processors. Payment channels allow you to group a series of payments into a single blockchain transaction in order to avoid paying fees on each transaction and waiting for each transaction to be mined. Payment channels function similar to bar tabs. For example, a customer at a bar opens a tab upon arriving, orders some number of drinks, and then settles the final balance with the bartender when they are ready to leave. Similarly, someone who wants to make repeated payments for a service (e.g., a live cam show) can open a payment channel with the service provider by depositing ETH or ERC20 tokens in escrow on a smart contract, make numerous payments off chain (e.g., tips), then settle the final balance on the smart contract when they are finished receiving services on the SugarBounce ecosystem. SugarToken Contracts At the heart of the SugarBounce decentralized ecosystem is the $TIP utility token as a medium of payment for digital media. It also acts as an incentive for video viewers to share redundant computing and bandwidth resources to address today’s video streaming and storage challenges. The tokens will additionally be utilized for various governance activities across the Sugar ecosystem. SugarIndexing / Search API The SugarIndexing/Search API for other projects and businesses that want to help promote performers connected to the platform on their own sites and apps. This API will allow them to access a list of live streamers, search for content creators by name and by keyword, and search for NFT content by keyword. SugarBounce | Whitepaper >>>> 023
SugarAds Network Advertising represents the largest opportunity for monetization in the SugarBounce ecosystem. The advertising network will be used for displaying static ads, video ads, and native ads (e.g., cam models reading sponsor messages). Our goal is to maximize revenue share with the content creators whose audiences we target. We believe this will motivate many performers and studios to make the SugarBounce ecosystem the primary distribution channel for their free content. The first version of our ad network will only serve SugarBounce dApps, but we plan to release a B2B Advertiser Dashboard for businesses to use as well. The ad network architecture will use state channels to track impressions and conversions in real-time and eventually move to a per-ad micropayment model. In the future, we plan to use a token curated registry mechanism similar to AdChain to verify that sites and apps selling their advertising opportunities are not fraudulent. SugarUser Registry The SugarUser Registry module is the foundation for identity verification in the SugarBounce ecosystem. Users will be able to create their profiles, connect their Ethereum addresses with their existing profiles, link social media profiles, complete KYC steps, and link to any off-chain profile data they have on IPFS. Simply having the SugarUser Registry connect performer Ethereum addresses to their social media profiles will allow anyone to look up a user and send them gifts of ETH or tokens without any intermediaries. SugarBounce | Whitepaper >>>> 024
Sugar Apps
The SugarApps layer is composed of frontend dApps that target various use cases and
services in the online adult industry.
Our vision for the SugarBounce ecosystem is to have a wide variety of apps built on top
of the same infrastructure, SugarBounce Core, allowing users and content creators to
seamlessly switch between any applications in our ecosystem.

With digital marketing now at the forefront of advertising, experts estimate that most people are exposed to up to 10,000 ads each day. This equals brands fighting with countless other brands just to get a memorable spot to be seen by their target audience. Historically, there has been broad consensus among companies that advertisements on adult websites are off limit. But as 30% of all web traffic is now dedicated to adult content websites, brands are starting to see adult content as a business advertising opportunity. The list of companies that decided to advertise on adult sites already includes some major brands such as Groupon, Marc Jacobs, and Diesel – all of which have specific campaigns designed to run on adult content websites. This growing demand and the vacuum left by the intermediary and advertising companies gave rise to the creation of ad agencies that offer advertisers spaces on adult sites. Today, it is significantly easier to buy ads on adult sites. TrafficJunky, which is the ad network for PornHub, RedTube and other adult entertainment properties’ parent company, MindGeek, created its own demand-side platform (DSP). SugarBounce | Whitepaper >>>> 027
Cost Effectiveness
This is also cheaper than running ads on giant sites, including Google, Twitter and
Facebook. Eat24, a food delivery app, found they could receive more impressions from
ads on adult sites than those big three sites combined, and at 1/10 of the cost. That’s a
lot of savings to put towards something else. In fact, the lowest cost-per-click model for
advertising on TrafficJunky, a leading advertising network in the adult industry, would
cost around $1-2 per 1,000 views. The site claims it maintains a ratio of 30-50 clicks per
1,000 views, providing a much cheaper and more cost-effective route to advertising.
Token Utility
In The Ecosystem
$TIP is at the heart of the SugarBounce Ecosystem. Our token is designed to be an
integral function within each of the Sugar verticals, such that it coheres them all into
a self-powered economy within which each stakeholder uses the $TIP for seamless
transactions across the platform, whatever their role might be.
The token economy primarily revolves around the following key stakeholders:
Hosts (H): Peer-to-peer (P2P) data nodes providing hosting for SugarStreams
and SugarReels.
Content Creators (CC): Stars, actors, artists, crew-members, and various
other individuals involved in the content creation process.
SugarBounce | Whitepaper >>>> 028Investors (I): Entities staking capital in the SugarStarter Pools.
Viewers (V): Users who use the platform to consume content (Paid as well
as Unpaid).
Platform (P): This refers to the SugarBounce platform itself.
Advertisers (A): Entities/Individuals who wish to advertise on the platform.
Sugar Blocks Token Utility
SugarBounce | Whitepaper >>>> 029Let us explore the utility of $TIP in each of the Sugar Platforms.
Sugar Streams
$TIP in SugarStreams
Our anonymous and streaming platform allows users to access exclusive live
entertainment anywhere, anytime.
Powered by a proprietary Web RTC based P2P video streaming network, the platform
is designed in a way such that it borrows extra bandwidth from computers within
the network for increased streaming speed and sharper video quality whilst relaying
content to other viewer nodes within the network; in exchange for this service, these
‘Hosts’ receive $TIP as payment - similar to how miners mine Bitcoin.
SugarBounce | Whitepaper >>>> 030On the platform itself, viewers kickstart the process by paying an entry fee into a
particular artist’s stream - the revenue generated in entry fees is owned almost
completely by the artist, with a small portion (10%) allocated to reward aforementioned
data hosts that enable the efficient relaying of the stream.
The users on the stream also have the option of tipping - these tips are paid in $TIP
directly to the artist as incentives to perform personalized tasks, exclusive to the whims
of the viewer.
Another entity that utilizes the $TIP on the platform is the advertisers - all advertising
fee on SugarStreams is paid in our native token, and is once again split between content
creators and data hosts in stable a ratio of 9:1.
Sugar Pals
$TIP in SugarPals
SugarBounce | Whitepaper >>>> 031$TIP is once again a key feature in the functioning of our subscription-based content
distribution and video blogging service. All subscription fees, as well as any form of
tips/extra charges for customized services agreed upon between the viewer and
their content creator of preference is paid in our token. Only a small portion of the
subscription fee is retained by the platform, and all tips earned by the content creator
belong solely to them.
Sugar Markets
$TIP in SugarMarkets
This revolutionary marketplace where users and creators can buy, sell, trade, and even
lend and borrow adult art in the form of NFTs is also powered by $TIP. Unique and
niche content will be minted into tradable NFTs via $TIP, which can then be bought
using the same token. Owners of valuable NFTs on the platform can also lease the
content to others on the marketplace for an agreed-upon period of time; all of these
transactions are facilitated by the $TIP.
SugarBounce | Whitepaper >>>> 032Sugar Reels
$TIP in SugarReels
The first ever truly decentralized adult content sharing platform also has $TIP at the
core of its functionality. On this IPFS-based powered platform, premium fees paid by
the user in the form of the native token will be equally distributed between the content
creator and the data hosts enabling the smooth relaying of said content. Similar to
the SugarStreams model, advertising on this platform will also be facilitated using
$TIP. Advertisers will pay in tokens to advertise, and the revenue will be split between
content artists and data hosts.
SugarBounce | Whitepaper >>>> 033Sugar Starter
$TIP in SugarStarter
Our crowdfunding platform where creatives can propose novel and niche projects in
Starter Pools for interested investors to produce funding is another vertical where $TIP
is fundamental.
These investors will stake capital in the Sugar Starter Pool of their choice in the form
of $TIP, and upon the creation of their chosen content and the subsequent revenue
generated by its viewership on the platform, will earn returns in the form of our native
token as well.
The viewers of this content will also pay all access fees in the form of $TIP, part of
which will be retained by the platform to invest in building content proposals.
Investors will stake $TIP and invest in the growth of upcoming talent.
Viewers will pay $TIP to investors to access content which was funded by
Sugar Starter Pools.
