⚠️ Important notice regarding BitMart As part of our commitment to protect investors, we are issuing the following notice. VAL withdrawals on BitMart have remained disabled for about 6 months, essentially since listing. This is not a network issue. The Validity blockchain is operating normally. As withdrawals are controlled by the exchange, we strongly advise users to avoid depositing or purchasing VAL on BitMart until this is resolved.

The power of compounding is often underestimated. At a 30% annual staking return, 100 VAL becomes approximately: Year 1: 130 VAL Year 2: 169 VAL Year 3: 220 VAL Year 5: 371 VAL $VAL

Investor protection is not always the fastest path. Sometimes it means saying no. Sometimes it means delaying or even aborting a release. Sometimes it means walking away from opportunities that don't align with our principles. We believe the long-term health of the ecosystem matters more than short-term excitement. $VAL

The crypto markets are starting to show signs of heating up again, so we believe it is a good time to remind everyone what Validity was built around: ✓ Transparency ✓ Accountability ✓ Investor Protection ✓ Responsible Stewardship In an industry often driven by hype and short-term extraction, we continue to focus on building responsibly for the long term. $VAL

The first draft paper for the upcoming VAL-E Mascot Token has now been completed and reviewed internally by the team. The document focuses on distribution structure, ecosystem purpose, and long-term alignment with Validity’s principles of fairness and transparency. Further refinements and visual formatting are still ongoing. Once completed, the document will be released publicly. $VAL

Community Staking Report: Only around 14% of the circulating supply is currently staking, meaning staking rewards are temporarily much higher than usual. We wish all stakers happy farming days. Source: chainz.cryptoid.info/val/#!e… $VAL

Update regarding VAL price representation: As part of our ongoing efforts to protect investors, we contacted CoinMarketCap. The VAL price now reflects the primary liquidity market on Upbit, providing a more accurate representation of current market conditions.

⚠️ Chart / price clarification The most liquid VAL market remains on Upbit, where price discovery takes place. We encourage users to refer to the Upbit market when evaluating VAL price.

Investor protection remains a top priority. Quantum resistance is now included in the Validity roadmap. $VAL

Roadmap Reveal – Part 2 Rather than going wide, we will specialize in a smaller number of technologies that strongly synergize. Our focus will be on research and development with advanced utility, including the convergence of blockchain technology and AI. The roadmap centers on two core components: 1) The Validity Blockchain The foundation is an immutable, decentralized and stable Layer 1. Planned improvements: • Upgrade to a recent Bitcoin codebase • Wallet/client improvements (better GUI, dark mode and UX) 2) The Validity Smartchain With the rise of AI and AI agents, we see a real use case for decentralized identities, helping address part of what is known as the AI control problem. $VAL

Next up: Roadmap Reveal Part 2. $VAL

The community has spoken. The VAL-E Mascot token will have a fixed max supply of 10M. $VAL $VAL-E

There are only two ways to acquire $VAL: • On the open market • Through staking rewards Fair launch. Fair access.

What should the max supply of the VAL-E Mascot token be?

This is exactly the point. Thank you. Hype comes and goes. Real innovation isn’t loud. It’s disciplined. We’re building for the long term. $VAL
