VANCOUVER, British Columbia, May 07, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- DMG Blockchain Solutions Inc. (TSX-V:DMGI) (“DMG”
or the “Company”), a diversified blockchain and cryptocurrency company, announced today the official launch of its
‘BitScore’ cryptocurrency deposit and withdrawal risk-scoring web API for Anti-Money Laundering (AML) and anti-fraud compliance.
The BitScore cloud-based API risk-scoring technology is used by crypto exchanges and enterprise payment platforms to quantify
and manage their risk of legal non-compliance. The API, which was engineered by DMG’s Blockseer development team, is powered by
sophisticated artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning models that examine the flow of cryptocurrency through the
blockchain in order to establish the provenance of funds in any crypto wallet.
Customers can submit a cryptocurrency source or destination address to the BitScore API, and the algorithm returns a risk score
evaluating the source of funds sent to that address, or if that address has sent funds to other high risk parties such as known
hacks, dark markets, or money laundering services.
The BitScore algorithm looks at several generations of transactions -- or hops -- in both directions, and then applies a
weighting function that captures the proportion of questionable cryptocurrency flowing through the transactions. BitScore currently
supports Bitcoin and will add support for Ethereum and ERC20 tokens this summer, and Litecoin and Bitcoin Cash in fall 2018.
“Understanding the provenance of source and destination addresses is imperative for any exchange or payment platform sensitive
to regulatory compliance,” said Danny Yang, CTO of DMG Blockchain Solutions. “Allowing an address that accepts deposits from, or
makes payments or deposits to, disreputable networks is potentially abetting their activity, which creates legal liability for
banks, exchanges and traders.”

The Company also announces it has appointed Diana Mark as Corporate Secretary and has moved its registered and records office to
its head office, #490 - 1090 Homer Street, Vancouver, BC V6B 2W9.

third-party claims of infringement of their intellectual property rights; the impact of intellectual property litigation that could
materially and adversely affect the business; the ability to manage working capital; and the dependence on key personnel. DMG may
not actually achieve its plans, projections, or expectations. Such statements and information are based on numerous assumptions
regarding present and future business strategies and the environment in which the Company will operate in the future, including the
demand for its products, that there will be sufficient power to operate its cryptocurrency mining machines, the ability to
successfully develop software, that there will be no regulation or law that will prevent the Company from operating its business,
anticipated costs, the ability to achieve goals and the price of bitcoin and litecoin. Given these risks, uncertainties and
assumptions, you should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements.
