It is a permissionless blockchain-based token based on the standard CAP20, issued by Socios Technologies AG in partnership with the club. $CITY is a crypto-asset used primarily to provide fans with access to exclusive experiences and rewards directly linked to fan engagement activities. Token holders can benefit from a range of Web3 utilities, including access to decentralised applications (dApps), the ability to collect NFTs and digital collectibles and integration with connected merchandise. In addition, the token offers more traditional benefits such as hospitality and ticketing privileges, real-life experiences (e.g. Meet and Greets, Matchday access, Play on the Pitch), exclusive signed merchandise, stadium tours, and more. For the avoidance of doubt, the token is not used for payments or value transfer, holders retain full ownership when using its features. Similarly, holders of Fan Tokens do not acquire the right to receive any financial return, dividend, or any right to participate in any voting related to the management, corporate, or strategic matters of Manchester City F.C, the Offeror or any affiliated entity. In light of the above, the $CITY token is a crypto-asset other than asset-referenced token and e-money token. It does not qualify as a utility token under Article 3 of Regulation (EU) 2023/1114, as it is intended to provide access to goods and services that are not exclusively supplied by the Issuer or any entity associated with the Issuer.

H.1	Distributed ledger technology (DTL)	The Chiliz Legacy Chain, also known as Chiliz Chain 1.0, was the original blockchain infrastructure used by Chiliz to facilitate the issuance, transfer, and storage of Fan Tokens, including $CITY. This chain operated as a closed ecosystem and a permissioned side chain, based on a Proof of Authority (PoA) consensus mechanism. It allowed for a controlled environment for the management of Fan Tokens. The migration to the Chiliz Chain (Chiliz Chain 2.0) occurred in 2023, bringing with it several enhancements in terms of consensus mechanisms, scalability, and decentralization. The migration was executed in phases between June and September 2023, with all Fan Tokens, including $CITY tokens, being successfully transferred from the Legacy Chain to the Chiliz Chain by Q1 2024. The migration was split into three steps: Deployment of the Fan Token smart contracts on the new Chiliz Chain. The migration of Fan tokens to the Chiliz Chain occurred both within the Socios.com app and on the exchanges that listed the tokens. Opening up Withdrawals and Deposits of the Fan Tokens on the new network. Following this migration, the Legacy Chain was officially deprecated. As of Q1 2024, all new activities, including new Fan Token launches, have been conducted exclusively on the Chiliz Chain. Distributed ledger technology The Chiliz Legacy Chain was the original blockchain infrastructure used for the issuance and storage of $CITY, a token initially issued under the ERC-20 standard. However, following the migration to Chiliz Chain 2.0, the $CITY token is now managed on the Chiliz Chain, which operates under the CAP-20 token standard. The Chiliz Chain presents the following characteristics: It is an EVM (Ethereum Virtual Machine) compatible blockchain. EVMcompatible blockchains implement the same instruction set and data structures as the Ethereum blockchain. The Chiliz Chain follows a Proof of Staked Authority (PoSA) consensus mechanism, meaning that only a limited number of main validators can validate transactions and add blocks to the chain. New validators must stake Chiliz Token ($CHZ), the native token of the Chiliz Chain, and be approved by validators through onchain governance. Validator seats are currently limited to 13 (subject to onchain governance). The Chiliz Chain can handle up to 400 Transactions per second (TPS). Transaction costs on the Chiliz Chain are relatively low, with a minimum gas price of 2501GWEI (units used for the calculation of gas fees on EVMcompatible blockchains). The Chain System contracts, including those responsible for core functionalities such as staking, governance, and upgrade mechanisms, are fully audited. Tokens issued on the Chiliz Chain follow CAP20 Token Standard (ERC20 compatible).
H.2	Protocols and technical standards	Protocols and technical standards $CITY is deployed on Chiliz Chain, an EVM-compatible layer-1 blockchain described in the official documentation as a fork of BNB Smart Chain, itself a derivative of go-Ethereum. This heritage means Chiliz Chain inherits Ethereum-style account management, transaction encoding and developer tooling, while operating as a distinct network. Token standard The network’s fungible-asset standard is CAP-20, defined in the Chiliz documentation as Chiliz Chain’s ERC-20-style token standard. CAP-20 is code-equivalent to ERC-20 but enforces zero decimals, so all balances and transfers represent whole-number units. $CITY is treated as a standard CAP-20 Fan Token implementing the familiar ERC-20-style interface. Interfaces and client standards Wallets and applications connect to Chiliz Chain via standard JSON-RPC and WebSocket endpoints. At protocol level, this means Chiliz Chain follows standard Web3 RPC patterns. Any client that supports custom EVM networks can treat Chiliz Chain as another Ethereum-style chain, provided it uses the documented network parameters.
H.3	Technology used	Implementation and architecture The $CITY token contract runs on the Chiliz Chain client implementation published as open-source software in the chiliz-chain/v2 repository, written in Go. A separate genesis-configuration repository defines the chain parameters and network configuration. Together, these components define the execution and consensus stack within which the $CITY CAP-20 contract is deployed and executed. Smart-contract platform and execution environment Smart contracts on Chiliz Chain are written in Solidity 0.8.24 and compiled for the Shanghai-equivalent EVM introduced with the Dragon8 upgrade. Dragon8 implemented modern Ethereum proposals such as EIP-1559 and EIP-2718, aligning Chiliz Chain’s fee mechanics and transaction format with Ethereum. All transactions on Chiliz Chain are metered using the EVM gas schedule and settled in CHZ, the network’s native token. The deterministic EVM runtime ensures that, given the same inputs and state, contract execution produces identical results across all validator nodes. Transfer and interoperability technology Before transferring $CITY, users must hold native CHZ to pay transaction fees. Once funded, the same wallet address receives or purchases $CITY. Transfers are then executed as standard CAP-20 transactions on Chiliz Chain, with gas paid in CHZ and finality achieved upon block confirmation. Two smart-contract-based bridges maintain liquidity between Ethereum and Chiliz Chain: Dcentralab’s Chainport, which converts ERC20 CHZ on Ethereum to wrapped CHZ (wCHZ) on Chiliz Chain; the Chiliz Bridge, which performs a direct ERC20 to native CHZ conversion using paired contracts on Ethereum and Chiliz Chain. Protocol-wise, these bridges define the standard mechanism for moving CHZ between networks. They are primarily used to supply wallets with native CHZ on Chiliz Chain for gas, staking and governance.
H.4	Consensus Mechanism	$CITY does not implement its own consensus mechanism. All $CITY transactions are executed within Chiliz Chain’s base layer execution environment and achieve finality once they are included in Chiliz Chain blocks that reach the relevant commitment level. Settlement, ordering and data availability are determined entirely by Chiliz Chain’s validator set. $CITY inherits those security and availability guarantees. Chiliz Chain uses Proof of Staked Authority , a hybrid consensus mechanism that combines Proof-of-Authority-style validator rotation with Proof-of-Stake-based weighting and eligibility. A limited set of “Main Validators”, each required to bond CHZ and be approved through on-chain governance, is responsible for proposing and validating blocks, while additional validator candidates can remain in an active queue with bonded stake, ready to replace or supplement the main set as staking weights or governance decisions change. Main Validators take turns producing blocks in a deterministic rotation, rather than open competition, which keeps block times predictable. The Parlia consensus engine coordinates block production and interacts with system contracts that manage staking, validator-set updates, distribution of block rewards and penalties for misbehaving or offline validators. This PoSA design, adapted from BNB Smart Chain, is tuned for short block times, low transaction fees and fast practical finality suitable for consumer-facing applications such as Fan Tokens, while relying on a comparatively small validator set and therefore offering a lower degree of permissionless decentralisation than large, fully open validator networks.
H.5	Incentive Mechanisms and Applicable Fees	$CITY benefits from Chiliz Chain’s low transaction fees, making it ideal for high-frequency trading and broad accessibility. At the network level, the Chiliz Chain employs a gas-based fee model denominated in $CHZ. Every transaction specifies a gas limit and gas price; the product defines the maximum fee the sender is willing to pay. Validators collect these fees as compensation for processing transactions and securing the network. A base-fee adjustment mechanism modulates prices according to block utilisation, keeping costs low and predictable. At protocol level, all on-chain transactions on Chiliz Chain, including $CITY CAP-20 transfers, pay gas fees in CHZ, the native token. Transactions are priced using standard EVM gas semantics, and since the Dragon8 hard fork the network supports EIP-1559-style type-2 transactions with a dynamically adjusted base fee and optional priority fee.
H.6	Use of distributed ledger technology	FALSE

N	Field	Content
I.1	Offer-related risks	Not applicable, as neither a public offering of the $CITY Fan Token is being conducted nor an admission to trading is being sought at the time this White Paper is drawn up and notified to the competent authority. However, as stated above, STAG does not exclude admission to trading at a future date, predominantly within the EU. Such acts of seeking admission to trading pose minimal risks, considering that $CITY tokens are already available for trading on numerous third-party exchanges. In addition, since $CITY is not an ART or an EMT, there are no reserves of assets, financial risks, or liabilities to be managed concerning the admission to trading of $CITY. The main risk to be considered is that trading platforms may not accept listing $CITY for internal considerations; or may decide to delist $CITY from their trading platforms for any reasons whatsoever external to $CITY or the project. In such circumstances, users may no longer be able to purchase/sell $CITY on the trading platform or withdraw $CITY from and deposit $CITY to the trading platform. For this reason, users should bring particular attention to the rules of the trading platform and ensure they understand the risks associated with the trading platform, its functioning, and services. There is no guarantee that $CITY remains available to trading at any time, on any trading platform, and that such trading platform keeps operating under the same rules, which are subject to regulatory changes.
I.2	Issuer-related risks	Regulatory Compliance Risks: Issuers of crypto assets must adhere to a wide array of regulatory requirements across different jurisdictions. Non-compliance can result in fines, sanctions, or the prohibition of the crypto asset offering, impacting its viability and market acceptance. Operational Risks: These include risks related to the Issuer's internal processes, personnel, and technologies, which can affect their ability to manage crypto-asset operations effectively. Failures in operational integrity might lead to disruptions, financial losses, or Issuer’s reputational damage. Legal Risks: Legal uncertainties, potential lawsuits, or adverse legal rulings can pose significant risks to issuers. Legal challenges may affect the legality, usability, or value of a crypto-asset. Reputational Risks: Negative publicity, whether due to operational failures, security breaches, or association with illicit activities, can damage an Issuer's reputation and, by extension, the value and acceptance of the crypto-asset. Dependency on Key Individuals: The success of some crypto projects can be highly dependent on the expertise and leadership of Issuer’s key individuals. Loss or changes in the project’s leadership can lead to disruptions, loss of trust, or project failure. Counterparty Risks: Risks associated with the Issuer's partners, suppliers, or collaborators, including the potential for non-fulfillment of obligations that can affect the Issuer’s operations.
I.3	Crypto-assets-related risks	Regulatory Risks: Regulatory uncertainty: The regulatory environment surrounding cryptoassets is constantly evolving, which can directly impact their usage, valuation, and legal status. Changes in regulatory frameworks may introduce new requirements related to consumer protection, taxation, and antimoney laundering compliance, creating uncertainty and potential challenges for token holders and businesses operating in the crypto space. Market and Liquidity Risks: Volatility risk: $CITY’s value is likely to be highly volatile and subject to market speculation. The Fan Tokens’ price may fluctuate significantly, resulting in potential losses. Liquidity risk: The availability of liquidity depends on the level of trading activity on decentralized exchanges (DEXs) and, where applicable, on centralized exchanges (CEXs). Insufficient trading volume could hinder the ability to buy or sell the Fan Tokens. Adoption Challenges If users do not engage with the $CITY as expected, demand for the token may remain low. Macroeconomic risk Global Economic Factors: A crypto market crash or financial crisis could reduce interest and investment in the token. Reputational Concerns Cryptoassets are often subject to reputational risks stemming from associations with illegal activities, highprofile security breaches, and technological failures. Such incidents can undermine trust in the broader crypto ecosystem or specific project, negatively affecting investor confidence and market value, thereby hindering widespread adoption and acceptance.
I.4	Project implementation-related risks	Competition risk It should be noted that the project may face strong competition from other similar projects or the token may have low liquidity in the secondary market, which may hinder its success. Token Functionalities The User understands that the Partnership Agreements with Manchester City F.C will eventually expire or may be terminated and the User acknowledges that $CITY Fan Tokens may partially or fully lose their Token Functionalities as a result of such expiration or termination.
I.5	Technology-related risks	Operational and Technical Risks Blockchain Dependency Risk: The $CITY token is built on the Chiliz Chain, making it inherently reliant on the stability, security, and long-term operation of the underlying blockchain. Any disruptions, protocol upgrades, or governance decisions on the Chiliz Chain could potentially impact the token’s functionality, transaction speed, and overall ecosystem integration. Changes to gas fees, validator incentives, or consensus mechanisms may also influence transaction costs and user adoption. Smart Contract Risks Despite thorough testing and audits, smart contracts are susceptible to vulnerabilities such as logic errors, reentrancy attacks, or integer overflows. If an exploit is discovered in the $CITY token’s contract, it could lead to financial losses, token theft, or unintended behaviors. Private key management The security of crypto-assets heavily depends on the effective management of private keys, which serve as the only means to access and control digital funds. Losing a private key or engaging in poor security practices, such as sharing or storing keys insecurely, can result in the irreversible loss of assets. Additionally, theft or unauthorized access to private keys can lead to the complete loss of funds, emphasizing the importance of secure key storage solutions like hardware wallets and multi-signature schemes. Network Security Risks While Chiliz Chain benefits from robust blockchain security, it remains susceptible to network-level attacks such as Sybil attacks, 51% attacks, or DDoS attempts on validators. Transaction Finality Transactions on the Chiliz Chain achieve finality probabilistically, meaning their security increases as more blocks are confirmed. However, theoretical risks of transaction reversals exist, particularly in cases of blockchain reorganizations or consensus attacks. Furthermore, transactions sent to incorrect or unintended addresses are typically irreversible, making it crucial for users to double-check addresses and transaction details before execution. Scalability issues As blockchain networks experience increased adoption and usage, scalability challenges can arise. A higher number of transactions on the Chiliz Chain might lead to network congestion, resulting in increased transaction fees, slower confirmation times, and reduced usability. Consensus Failures Issues with a blockchain’s consensus mechanism can lead to serious disruptions such as network forks, operational halts, and a loss of trust among participants. Forks can result in duplicate transactions or diverging ledger states, causing confusion and potential financial losses. Ecosystem Dependency Risks The $CITY token is currently compatible with many platforms across the Chiliz Chain or even the wider EVM Ecosystem. It is always best practice to only interact with reputable platforms. Evolving Technology Risks Blockchain technology is rapidly evolving, and new standards, protocols, or competitor chains could render existing token implementations obsolete.
I.6	Mitigation measures	Smart Contract Risks Comprehensive Testing: The smart contracts were extensively tested in multiple scenarios to ensure reliability and correctness during token distribution and refunds. However, the User understands and acknowledges that complex software such as the smart contract system, and all other software applications that are used for the Fan Token Offering are never entirely free from defects, errors, bugs, and security vulnerabilities, and that the Issuer therefore does not warrant thatthe Fan Token will be free from defects, errors, and bugs. If any issues or problems arise in connection with the participation in the Fan Token Offering, it may take days, weeks or months to resolve, and some issues may not be resolved at all. Network Security Risks Validator Network Diversity: Chiliz Chain’s validator network continues to grow and diversify, enhancing resilience against potential centralization or targeted attacks. However, the User understands and acknowledges that any transaction of Fan Token may be delayed or not be executed due to the transaction volume on the blockchain, mining attacks and/or similar events. Tokens on blockchain platforms face multiple risks including software errors, network connectivity disruptions, hardware failures, security threats from hacking or unauthorized access, and changes in consensus rules. Additionally, forks, validator penalties, and fluctuations in token stability and value can affect tokens adversely. These issues can lead to token loss or negatively impact their value. Evolving Technology Risks Adoption of Updates: The $CITY project team actively monitors advancements in blockchain technology and commits to adopting improvements in the Chiliz Chain ecosystem to maintain competitiveness.

S.5	Incentive Mechanisms and Applicable Fees	$CITY is issued on the Chiliz Chain: On the Chiliz Chain, both validators and delegators are incentivized through a structured staking model. Validators are responsible for creating and validating blocks, and in return, they earn rewards derived from transaction fees and a portion of the network's inflationary token supply. Delegators, who may not run validator nodes themselves, can participate by delegating their CHZ tokens to chosen validators. This delegation allows them to earn a share of the validators rewards proportional to the amount of CHZ tokens delegated, thereby promoting broader community involvement and greater security. Transaction fees are low and encourage widespread participation and high volume of transactions. Additionally, the network has implemented a transaction fee burning mechanism inspired by EIP-1559 governance proposal, where a significant portion of the gas fees is burned at the protocol level, introducing a deflationary mechanism to CHZ token supply.

S.8	Energy consumption	39.40080
S.9	Energy consumption sources and methodologies	The energy consumption of this asset is aggregated across multiple components: To determine the energy consumption of a token, the energy consumption of the network(s) chiliz is calculated first. For the energy consumption of the token, a fraction of the energy consumption of the network is attributed to the token, which is determined based on the activity of the crypto-asset within the network. When calculating the energy consumption, the Functionally Fungible Group Digital Token Identifier (FFG DTI) is used - if available - to determine all implementations of the asset in scope. The mappings are updated regularly, based on data of the Digital Token Identifier Foundation. The information regarding the hardware used and the number of participants in the network is based on assumptions that are verified with best effort using empirical data. In general, participants are assumed to be largely economically rational. As a precautionary principle, we make assumptions on the conservative side when in doubt, i.e. making higher estimates for the adverse impacts.
