FinLab AG: The FinLab EOS VC Fund, managed by FinLab AG, invests a seven-digit amount into Instaffo and its decentralized Protocol VAEON based on EOS.IO

Dow Jones received a payment from EQS/DGAP to publish this press release.

DGAP-Media / 2018-09-25 / 09:00 
 
*FRANKFURT/HEIDELBERG*, September 25, 2018 - Through its EOS VC fund "FinLab 
EOS VC Europe I GmbH & Co. KG" ("FinLab EOS VC Fund"), FinLab AG (ISIN: 
DE0001218063; Ticker: A7A.GR) invests a seven-digit amount into Instaffo 
GmbH, developer of VAEON, to develop the autonomous EOS-based blockchain 
project, VAEON. With the investment, Instaffo is the first company to 
receive financial backing from the $1 billion EOS VC venture via one of 
their selected partners. 
 
Investors behind the FinLab EOS VC Fund are Block.one [1], developers of 
blockchain software EOS.IO and founders of EOS VC, and FinLab AG [2], a 
stock-listed German company builder and investment firm specializing in the 
fintech sector. In March 2018, the companies announced a $100 million 
initiative to invest in projects, especially throughout Europe, which 
utilize EOS.IO blockchain software and seek to benefit the EOS ecosystem. 
The overall goal is to support and stimulate the development of new 
technology within the EOS European community. 
 
"We are happy to welcome Instaffo and its protocol VAEON as our first global 
investment at the new FinLab EOS VC Fund," said Theo Woik, Senior Investment 
Manager at FinLab. "VAEON Protocol is an important advancement in the 
ecosystem of EOS that will fuel the development of the EOS-based web 3.0; we 
are happy to support the VAEON team in building this future." 
 
VAEON is an independent and open protocol with built-in governance that 
seeks to redefine how personal data is structured, exchanged or sold. VAEON 
offers the user three key benefits: data privacy, data monetization, and a 
single source of truth. The latter means that applications collaborate and 
enrich the same decentralized database, thus enabling the user to choose any 
application freely without losing their data history or digital identity. On 
the other hand, VAEON aims to provide application developers the opportunity 
to launch new products or services to an existing user base. 
 
"At the moment, smart contract blockchains are like an open canvas; anything 
can be built there. However, before building dApps, a clear infrastructure 
of layers, protocols, and libraries is needed. Currently, there are no 
standards to make data interoperable," said Andreas Mikolajewski, CEO of 
VAEON. 
 
"I believe improvements in data interoperability will be the key driver for 
the innovation enabled by Blockchain technology in the next decade," added 
Pedro Lopez, COO of VAEON. "VAEON builds this fundamental infrastructure for 
future dApps on the EOS ecosystem." 
 
Moreover, VAEON has already secured a cooperation with Instaffo GmbH, a 
reverse recruitment start-up, which already has 30 million user data sets 
and access to over 1000 customers. Instaffo represents a functional, 
first-use case of the VAEON Protocol and is the base for VAEON's 
acceleration strategy. Furthermore, VAEON is currently in discussions with 
other huge industrial leaders to join the protocol and decentralize their 
user database. 
 
VAEO, the cryptocurrency used to interact with the VAEON smart contract, 
serves three main purposes: fraud prevention, medium of exchange and, above 
all, governance. VAEON Protocol can be viewed as a DAO (decentralized 
autonomous organization) whose main purpose is to evolve the data standards 
of the future blockchain-driven web 3.0; this is comparable to today's 
consortiums (e.g., w3.org) established by industry leaders. The VAEO token 
makes these processes transparent in a tokenized world. The VAEON token sale 
is scheduled to take place at the end of the year. For more information,
