Technical Foundations: Custom Blockchain Development
Due to its innovative design, the QS-SL token requires a proprietary blockchain solution built on the latest technologies, rather than relying on existing networks. The breakthrough SunLabChain v1 will serve as the foundation both for the QS-SL token and for 900 native tokens within the first global emission. The system will be represented by the SUN1 coin, ensuring full control over security, emission logic, and regulatory compliance.
The initial development phase for the QS-SL token emission focuses solely on creating the first layer (L1), dedicated to handling transactions and token issuance. Additional layers (L2 and L3) are planned for the first global emission in 2027/28. This approach lowers initial costs while enabling faster market entry with a groundbreaking token powered by ultra-advanced technology and disruptive market logic.
Estimated Cost: 0.75–1.2 million USD
Technical Foundations: Infrastructure & Proof of Concept
Blockchain Infrastructure SunLab.Chain
Every blockchain requires technical support: servers, validation nodes, monitoring systems, and test environments. These elements ensure network continuity and transaction security.
Cost: 0.25 million USD
Proof of Concept (POC)
A working demonstration of V-1 (chain version) and 3 multi-modular Platforms, showing that token logic and basic mechanisms work in practice. This prototype is essential for discussions with regulators and investors.
Cost: 80-120K USD
These foundational elements are critical for demonstrating to regulators and investors that the project is not merely theoretical but has practical, functioning technology behind it. The POC allows the technical team to test key solutions before building the full version, reducing the risk of errors and budget overruns.
Technical Foundations: Multi-MVP & Tokenomics
Minimum Viable Product (Multi-MVP)
The Multi-MVP represents the first functional version of the native blockchain and 3-Platforms, ready for actual use. This version enables the issuance of the QS-SL token and basic transactions, which is a prerequisite for exchange listing.
Unlike typical projects with a single speculative generator, our Multi-MVP consists of 3 interdisciplinary pillars creating a complete token environment. Despite its sophistication, it serves as a transitional model between prototype and full-scale product.
Cost: 0.65 million USD
Tokenomics & Simulations
This represents the economic design of the token, featuring innovative architecture with native TxLN and SIMR algorithms. The tokenomics must reveal the monetary logic and neural network of financial connections with many other native tokens.
Simulations demonstrate how the token will behave in various market scenarios (e.g., downturns, growth, crisis). Without well-documented tokenomics, regulators and exchanges will not accept the emission.
Cost: 80-90K USD
Technical Foundations: Documentation & Integration
Whitepaper
Official project document combining investment prospectus and technology description. For our HYBRID tokens (900 units) and 6 UTILITY tokens, this document is crucial for regulators, exchanges, and investors to understand the project.
Cost: 50K USD
Smart Contracts & Audits
The QS-SL and SUN1 tokens will operate on the blockchain through a set of innovative and complex smart contracts. Each must be verified by independent audit firms to eliminate security vulnerabilities.
Cost: 0.3 million USD
Exchange Integration
Technical integration with exchanges requires APIs, security tests, and certifications. As we're using our own blockchain and revolutionary token architecture, we must build bridges to exchanges rather than using standard tokens like ERC-20, etc..
Cost: 0.45 million USD
These elements form the technical documentation and integration framework necessary for the token to function in the marketplace and gain acceptance from exchanges and regulators.
Technical Foundations: Security & Management
Security Audit
In addition to smart contract audits, a comprehensive security audit is required—covering infrastructure, integrations, and the entire chain. External firms verify that the system is resistant to hacker attacks, which is critical for an investment token (Hybrid/STO).
This audit gives regulators and exchanges confidence that the project meets financial security standards.
Cost: 0.2 million USD
Project Coordination & Management
Professional management is essential—from scheduling and budgeting to collaboration with technical and legal teams. These are not "paper" costs, but real expenses for Project Management that ensures deadlines and quality execution.
With work distributed between the UK, USA, Poland and India, multiple trips will be necessary despite the ability to control work remotely.
Cost: 0.1-0.15 million USD
Total Technical Foundations Cost: ~3-3.46 million USD
Legal & Regulatory Aspects: Opinions & Licenses
Every investment token must be categorized in various jurisdictions. We need independent legal opinions confirming the classification of QS-SL as a "hybrid" in the regulatory systems of Switzerland, the EU, and the UK.
Additionally, "no-objection letters" or preliminary interpretations from regulators are required—written confirmation that the project in its current form can enter the market. This gives investors confidence that legal risk has been minimized.
Legal Opinions & Regulatory Letters: 120-230K USD
Three key licenses form the "minimum package"—the gold standard for STOs and hybrids, ensuring complete regulatory security across major markets:
  • FINMA (Switzerland): The strongest license in Europe, giving global recognition and the ability to operate as a financial institution compliant with STO-like (Hybrid) standards. (350K USD)
  • FCA (UK): Allows operation in the UK, one of the world's largest capital markets, providing access to London's institutional investors. (300K USD)
  • MiCA (EU): New EU regulation, mandatory for projects operating in Europe. Without it, tokens cannot be legally sold to European investors. (300K USD)
Legal & Regulatory Aspects: Corporate Structure
Company in Zug, Switzerland
We must establish a company in Switzerland (initially GmbH, later transformed into AG). Zug is known as "Crypto Valley," recognized by regulators and investors as a center for blockchain projects.
Costs include registration, notary fees, address, and legal services. This will be the formal issuer of the QS-SL token, the entity visible in regulatory documents.
Cost: 35-50K USD
Ownership Structure
To protect intellectual property and stakeholder interests, the project requires an appropriate ownership structure. A foundation in Liechtenstein and Trust in the UAE serves as a "vault" containing rights to the blockchain and documentation.
This structure is necessary for regulators to consider the project stable and professional.
Cost: ~130K USD
Emission Prospectus & Compliance
This includes the emission prospectus compliant with FINMA/FCA/MiCA requirements, AML/KYC procedures mandatory in every financial project, and IP registration covering trademarks, copyrights, and patents in key jurisdictions.
Cost: 0.135-0.26 million USD
Total Legal & Regulatory Cost: ~1.18-2.04 million USD
Investor Documents: Essential Materials
Pitch Deck: $30K USD
A concise high-level presentation in the form of a multilingual website customizing 25 countries, several landing pages for better spread, and additionally in paper form (25 slides) showing in a simple way the project idea, market, business model, tokenomics, and roadmap.
A mobile application in several key languages with call-to-action and redirection to the exchange and sales platform is recommended (additional ~$50K USD).
Business Plan: 60K USD
A detailed business plan describing the platform's operating model, finance generation strategy, market entry, financial forecasts, and competitive analysis. In this case, the Business Plan is a Global Information Service in the form of an interactive complex calculator showing the essence of generating finances in each sector.
Investor Documents: Financial & Compliance Materials
Investment Teaser
A 2-3 page website landing with full branding and PDF, a kind of "teaser" of the project that can be quickly sent to potential investors. Contains the essence of the project: what we do, why, how much we want to raise, and how the investor will profit.
Cost: 1K USD
Financial Model
A section of the Digital Business Plan Screen - a financial spreadsheet (Excel) in the form of a mobile and web application showing forecasts of revenues, costs, cash flow, and return on investment over a 5-10 year perspective.
Cost: 44K USD
Regulatory Compliance Materials
A package of documents required by regulators and exchanges: AML/KYC policies, governance documents, risk reports. For investors, this signals that the project is serious and there is no risk of regulatory blockage.
Cost: 40-80K USD
Total Investor Documents Cost: ~235K USD
Without these materials, institutional investors will not take the project seriously—these documents are the market standard and show that we operate as a regulated financial company, not a crypto startup from Telegram.
First Emission Value Potential
Investor 1 / 500k USD for 7 mln USD each year for life
Investor 2 / 5 mln USD for 65 mln USD each year for life
The First Emission Value Potential chart highlights the significant profit opportunities for strategic investors. Strategic investors (Strategic Investor 1/Spark and Strategic Investor 2) acquire QS-SL tokens at preferential prices during early investment rounds. This early entry positions them for substantial gains, as the public emission is set at 0.25 USD per token. Based on the chart, St-Investor 1, with an investment of 500k USD may achieve annual payouts of approximately 7 million USD starting from the second year and St-Investor 2 with an investment of 5 million USD, may reach annual payouts of about 65 million+ USD from the second year onwards.
This structure ensures that strategic investors benefit from the best risk-to-reward ratio within this emission, leveraging their early commitment to secure significant returns. Their initial investment is a strategic move, positioning them for optimal gains as the project proceeds towards its public emission target, which aims to collect approximately 500 million USD within 18 months in three rounds. Strong marketing and operational support are crucial to maximize these returns and ensure the success of the public offering.
Marketing & PR: Brand Building
Brand Building & Materials: 180K USD
Creating a cohesive visual identity (logo, websites, promotional materials, video) is essential. For this brand, it's not practical to create a single page as in previous brands. The goal is to create a set of interdisciplinary global pages and additionally a leading page with several landings for each key country.
Customization aims to take into account local names, trends, calendar, and national specifics on thematic pages. The participant must have the unambiguous impression that when we talk about tokens from the EU-DE (German) group, they really concern his country, which is Germany. Similarly for Poland, Spain, etc.
Marketing & PR: Digital Campaigns
Social Media Focus
For the first time, our target is not only the crypto world but ordinary citizens who have never bought any cryptocurrency and don't understand it. This requires engagement in both crypto and mainstream channels.
Global Reach
Campaigns will target Twitter/X (USA, UK, Brazil, India), Telegram + Discord communities (Asia, South America), YouTube/TikTok + influencers (Asia, South America, EU/UK), and LinkedIn Ads for institutional investors.
Mainstream Platforms
After securing licenses (MiCA/FINMA/FCA), campaigns will expand to Google/Facebook Ads, Instagram, and other mainstream platforms to reach beyond the crypto community.
Digital & Social Media Campaigns: 400K USD
Building an online presence is necessary to build trust and scale interest in the emission. The deployment of this part of society and the high stake to be taken from the proceeds of the first emission requires extraordinary commitment.
Marketing & PR: Media Relations & Events
Public Relations & Media: 250K USD
Publications in financial press and crypto media (Bloomberg, CoinDesk, Forbes, CoinTelegraph) will help the project reach sources read by funds, family offices, and institutional investors. PR gives the QS-SL emission credibility and global reach.
Conferences & Industry Events: 200K USD
Presence at conferences in London, Zurich, Dubai, or Singapore enables personal meetings with investors and strategic partners. It's also a reputational element—participation in major events confirms that the project operates in world leagues.
Community Building & Influencers: 120K USD
Expanding the community (Telegram, Discord, investment forums) and collaborating with industry influencers. A strong community is not just marketing—it's also the first line of liquidity for the token after it enters the exchange.
Total Marketing & PR Cost: 1.08 million USD
Operations & Security: Market Making
Market Makers
For the QS-SL token, as a Hybrid/STO, to be smoothly traded on central exchanges, professional liquidity operators (market makers) are needed. These firms maintain constant buy and sell offers, preventing large price fluctuations at low volume.
The cost includes annual compensation for such firms—exchanges require their presence, otherwise they will not allow the token to trade.
Cost: 0.3-0.5 million USD
Market Maker API
Technical integration between the SunLabChain blockchain and market maker systems. The API must enable automatic access to data and fast order processing.
This is an inconspicuous but necessary part—because without it, MMs will not be able to fully support our token.
Cost: 50-80K USD
Market makers are essential for maintaining liquidity and price stability, particularly in the early stages of exchange listing. Without proper market making, tokens can experience extreme volatility that discourages investor participation.
Operations & Security: Team & Cybersecurity
Operational Team
These are the costs of employees responsible for handling daily operations: compliance, reporting, accounting, customer support, liquidity management, and contact with exchanges.
In a regulated STO, this cannot be outsourced to random subcontractors—there must be a professional, permanent team. This is also a signal to the regulator that the project has institutional backing.
Annual Cost: 0.82-1.38 million USD
Cybersecurity
The QS-SL token will be a target for hacker attacks from day one. Therefore, full certifications (SOC2, ISO 27001), penetration tests, SIEM monitoring, and a bug bounty program for ethical hackers are needed.
Regulators (FINMA, FCA, MiCA) require this, and institutional investors will not invest in a project that does not have professional security.
Cost: 0.31-0.55 million USD
Operations & Security: Monitoring & Liquidity
Monitoring & Reporting
Mandatory reporting systems to regulators and exchanges: AML, KYC, transaction tracking, monthly and quarterly reports. Costs include both software licenses and external audits.
This is a formal requirement, without which the project will not pass due diligence.
Cost: 75-135K USD
Initial Own Liquidity
This is capital that the project must contribute to exchanges in the form of tokens and stablecoins to ensure the first transactions. This is not an operational cost—it's frozen capital that remains our property but must be available for the market to operate fairly from day one.
Without this, exchanges will not agree to listing because investors will not buy the token in an empty orderbook.
Required Capital: 5-15 million USD
Total Operations & Security Cost: ~1.72-2.7 million USD annually
Additionally, the project must secure an exchange deposit of 5-15 million USD as initial liquidity—this is not an expense, but frozen capital, a necessary condition for exchanges to allow the QS-SL token to trade.
