PART I
INFORMATION REQUIRED TO BE DELIVERED TO OFFEREES OR PURCHASERS
This short form prospectus is a base shelf prospectus. This short form base shelf prospectus has been filed under legislation in each of the provinces and territories of Canada that permits certain information about these securities to be determined after this prospectus has become final and that permits the omission from this prospectus of that information. The legislation requires the delivery to purchasers of a prospectus supplement containing the omitted information within a specified period of time after agreeing to purchase any of these securities, except in cases where an exemption from such delivery requirements has been obtained.
No securities regulatory authority has expressed an opinion about these securities and it is an offence to claim otherwise. This short form base shelf prospectus constitutes a public offering of these securities only in those jurisdictions where they may be lawfully offered for sale and therein only by persons permitted to sell such securities. The securities offered hereby have not been and will not be registered under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "U.S. Securities Act"), or the securities laws of any state of the United States, and may not be offered, sold or delivered, directly or indirectly, in the United States of America, its territories and possessions, any state of the United States or the District of Columbia (the "United States"), or to a "U.S. person" (as such term is defined in Regulation S under the U.S. Securities Act) (a "U.S. Person") unless exemptions from the registration requirements of the U.S. Securities Act and any applicable state securities laws are available. This short form base shelf prospectus does not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy any of these securities to, or for the account or benefit of, any person in the United States or U.S. Person. See "Plan of Distribution".

The Common Shares, Debt Securities, Subscription Receipts, Warrants and Units (collectively, the "Securities") offered hereby may be offered separately or together, in separate series, in amounts, at prices and on terms to be set forth in one or more prospectus supplements (collectively or individually, as the case may be, "Prospectus Supplements"). In addition, Securities may be offered and issued in consideration for the acquisition of other businesses, assets or securities by the Corporation or a subsidiary of the Corporation. The consideration for any such acquisition may consist of any of the Securities separately, a combination of Securities or any combination of, among other things, Securities, cash and assumption of liabilities.
The specific terms of any offering of Securities will be set forth in the applicable Prospectus Supplement and may include, without limitation, where applicable: (i) in the case of Common Shares, the number of Common Shares being offered, the offering price, whether the Common Shares are being offered for cash, and any other terms specific to the Common shares being offered; (ii) in the case of Debt Securities, the specific designation, aggregate principal amount, the currency or the currency unit for which the Debt Securities may be purchased, maturity, interest provisions, authorized denominations, offering price, whether the Debt Securities are being offered for cash, the covenants, the events of default, any terms for redemption or retraction, any exchange or conversion rights attached to the Debt Securities (provided that the Debt Securities shall only be convertible or exchangeable into Common Shares or other securities of the Corporation), and any other terms specific to the Debt Securities being offered; (iii) in the case of Subscription Receipts, the number of Subscription Receipts being offered, the offering price, whether the Subscription Receipts are being offered for cash, the terms, conditions and procedures for the exchange of the Subscription Receipts into or for Common Shares and/or other securities of the Corporation and any other terms specific to the Subscription Receipts being offered; (iv) in the case of Warrants, the number of such Warrants offered, the offering price, whether the Warrants are being offered for cash, the terms, conditions and procedures for the exercise of such Warrants into or for Common Share and/or other securities of the Corporation and any other specific terms; and (v) in the case of Units, the number of Units being offered, the offering price, the terms of the Common Shares, Debt Securities, Subscription Receipts and/or Warrants underlying the Units, and any other specific terms. The Corporation does not intend on issuing "novel" securities pursuant to this Prospectus, as such term is defined under National Instrument 44-102 - Shelf Distributions ("NI 44-102").
All shelf information permitted under applicable securities legislation to be omitted from this Prospectus will be contained in one or more Prospectus Supplements that will be delivered to purchasers together with this Prospectus, unless an exemption from the prospectus delivery requirements has been granted. Each Prospectus Supplement will be incorporated by reference into this Prospectus as of the date of such Prospectus Supplement and only for the purposes of the distribution of the Securities covered by that Prospectus Supplement.
This Prospectus does not qualify for issuance Debt Securities, or Securities convertible or exchangeable into Debt Securities, in respect of which the payment of principal and/or interest may be determined, in whole or in part, by reference to one or more underlying interests including, for example, an equity or debt security, a statistical measure of economic or financial performance including, without limitation, any currency, consumer price or mortgage index, or the price or value of one or more commodities, indices or other items, or any other item or formula, or any combination or basket of the foregoing items. This Prospectus may qualify for issuance Debt Securities, or Securities convertible or exchangeable into Debt Securities in respect of which the payment of principal and/or interest may be determined, in whole or in part, by reference to published rates of a central banking authority or one or more financial institutions, such as a prime rate or bankers' acceptance rate, or to recognized market benchmark interest rates such as CDOR (the Canadian Dollar Offered Rate), and/or convertible into or exchangeable for Common Shares.
The Corporation may sell the Securities to or through underwriters or dealers purchasing as principals and may also sell the Securities to one or more purchasers directly, through applicable statutory exemptions, or through agents designated by the Corporation from time to time. The Prospectus Supplement relating to a particular offering of Securities will identify each underwriter, dealer or agent engaged in connection with the offering and sale of the Securities, as well as the method of distribution and the terms of the offering of such Securities, including the net proceeds to the Corporation and, to the extent applicable, any fees, discounts, concessions or any other compensation payable to underwriters, dealers or agents and any other material terms. See "Plan of Distribution".
This Prospectus may qualify an "at-the-market distribution" (as such term is defined in NI 44-102). In connection with any offering of the Securities, other than an "at-the-market distribution", the underwriters or agents may over-allot or effect transactions that stabilize or maintain the market price of the offered Securities at a level above that which might otherwise prevail on the open market. Such transactions, if commenced, may be interrupted or discontinued at any time. A purchaser who acquires Securities forming part of the underwriters' over-allocation position acquires those Securities under this Prospectus, regardless of whether the overallocation position is ultimately filled through the exercise of the over-allotment option or secondary market purchases. See "Plan of Distribution".
No underwriter or dealer involved in an "at-the-market distribution" under this Prospectus, no affiliate of such an underwriter or dealer and no person or Corporation acting jointly or in concert with such an underwriter or dealer will over-allot securities in connection with such distribution or effect any other transactions that are intended to stabilize or maintain the market price of the Securities.
The outstanding Common Shares are listed and posted for trading on the Toronto Stock Exchange ("TSX") under the symbol "WNDR". On September 6, 2022, the last full trading day prior to the date of this Prospectus, the closing price per Common Share on the TSX was $0.465. Unless otherwise specified in the applicable Prospectus Supplement, the Debt Securities, Subscription Receipts, Warrants and Units will not be listed on any securities exchange. There is no market through which these Securities may be sold and purchasers may not be able to resell such Securities purchased under this Prospectus. This may affect the pricing of the Securities in the secondary market, the transparency and availability of trading prices, the liquidity of the Securities, and the extent of issuer regulation.
- ii -
Investing in Securities involves a high degree of risk. A prospective purchaser should therefore review this Prospectus and the documents incorporated by reference in their entirety and carefully consider the risk factors described under "Risk Factors" prior to investing in such Securities.
No underwriter, agent, or dealer has been involved in the preparation of this Prospectus or performed any review of the contents of this Prospectus.
The head and registered office of the Corporation is located at Suite 250, 780 Beatty Street, Vancouver, British Columbia V6B 2M1.
Bill Koutsouras, a director of the Corporation, resides outside of Canada and has appointed Cassels Brock & Blackwell LLP, Suite 2200, 885 W Georgia St., Vancouver, British Columbia, V6C 3E8, as his agent for service of process in Canada.

This list is not exhaustive of the factors that may affect any of the Corporation's forward-looking statements. Although the Corporation believes its expectations are based upon reasonable assumptions and have attempted to identify important factors that could cause actual actions, events or results to differ materially from those described in forward-looking statements, there may be other factors that cause actions, events or results not to be as anticipated, estimated or intended. See the section entitled "Risk Factors" below, and in the section entitled "Risk Factors" in the AIF (as defined herein), for additional risk factors that could cause results to differ materially from forward-looking statements.
Investors are cautioned not to put undue reliance on forward-looking information.

THE CORPORATION
WonderFi is a leading technology company with the mission of creating better access to digital assets through centralized and decentralized platforms. WonderFi seeks to execute this mission through the development of a suite of tools and products which are built on the core principles of simplicity and education. Today, digital assets and centralized and decentralized finance are complex and fragmented, spanning across a wide range of applications that operate on numerous blockchain networks, protocols and layers. There is an underlying expectation that users understand how to select, navigate and interact with these various components; however, the required learning curve is prohibitive for most. Further, as these sectors expand, it becomes increasingly difficult for the average investor to navigate the technological and financial terminology and nuances that are presented, and as a result the literacy of users lags behind. WonderFi believes that these issues are preventing large-scale adoption of the technology, which inherently is meant to be democratized and accessible to all.
The Corporation operates through two reportable segments: Bitbuy and Coinberry with respect to centralized finance or "CeFi", and WonderFi with respect to decentralized finance or "DeFi". WonderFi's current business model consists of the following:
Centralized Finance Digital Asset Platforms
WonderFi, through Bitbuy, owns and operates a proprietary CeFi digital asset platform (the "Bitbuy Platform"), through which Canadian-domiciled users are able to buy and sell digital assets, specifically cryptocurrencies, priced in Canadian dollar denominations. Bitbuy's core business objective is to enable consumers to obtain access to digital assets in a convenient, secure, and trusted manner that is compliant with existing securities regulations, and Bitbuy provides value to its users by fostering connectivity to Canadian fiat payment systems, allowing its users to move funds to and from the Bitbuy Platform so as to execute self-directed purchase or sale transactions using digital asset trading pairs listed on the Bitbuy Platform.
Bitbuy's primary business purpose is to administer and oversee the Bitbuy Platform. Pursuant to an exemptive relief order (the "Bitbuy Exemptive Relief Order") issued by the securities regulatory authorities or regulators in each of the provinces and territories of Canada, Bitbuy obtained exemptive relief from certain requirements under applicable Canadian securities laws with respect to operating as a restricted dealer and a marketplace (as such terms are defined in applicable Canadian securities laws). The Bitbuy Exemptive Relief Order permits Bitbuy to operate the Bitbuy Platform and offer its users the right to acquire digital assets that are not themselves securities and/or derivatives across Canada in compliance with applicable Canadian securities laws.
Bitbuy earns revenues via the fees associated with users' digital asset transactions on the Bitbuy Platform. These fees may vary depending on the type and size of the transaction. Users may place buy and sell orders primarily using either the Platform's pro trade feature ("Pro Trade") or express trade feature ("Express Trade"). The Pro Trade feature is comprised of an interface system that allows clients to place and execute limit or market buy and sell orders in an order book displaying buy and sell orders entered by users of the Bitbuy Platform. The Express Trade feature allows clients to place market buy or sell orders in units of the applicable digital asset or in Canadian dollars after receiving a quote that provides indicative trade terms and fees associated with the prospective order. Bitbuy also offers its users with larger sized orders the ability to place their orders with an over-the-counter ("OTC") trading service.
As described in the Bitbuy Exemptive Relief Order, Bitbuy established accounting practices, internal controls and safekeeping and segregation procedures intended to protect clients' assets. Bitbuy currently retains the services of BitGo Trust Company, Inc. ("BitGo") to act as custodian for crypto assets held on behalf of clients of Bitbuy. BitGo is licensed as a trust company with the South Dakota Division of Banking. BitGo is a "qualified custodian" as defined in Section 1.1 of National Instrument 31-103 - Registration Requirements, Exemptions and Ongoing Registrant Obligations ("NI 31-103").
WonderFi, through Coinberry, owns and operates a second proprietary CeFi digital asset platform (the "Coinberry Platform"), through which Canadian-domiciled users are also able to buy and sell digital assets, specifically cryptocurrencies, priced in Canadian dollar denominations. Coinberry enables consumers to obtain access to digital assets in a secure and compliant manner by moving funds to and from the Coinberry Platform to execute self-directed purchase or sale transactions.
Coinberry's primary business purpose is to administer and oversee the Coinberry Platform. Pursuant to an exemptive relief order (the "Coinberry Exemptive Relief Order") issued by the securities regulatory authorities or regulators in each of the provinces and territories of Canada, Coinberry obtained exemptive relief from certain requirements under applicable Canadian securities laws permitting Coinberry to operate the Coinberry Platform as a restricted dealer and offer its users the right to acquire digital assets that are not themselves securities and/or derivatives across Canada in compliance with applicable Canadian securities laws. Coinberry earns revenues via the fees associated with users' digital asset transactions on the Coinberry Platform.
As described in the Coinberry Exemptive Relief Order, Coinberry established internal controls and safekeeping and segregation procedures intended to protect clients' assets. Coinberry currently retains the services of Gemini Trust Company, LLC ("Gemini"), a third-party custodian to act as custodian for crypto assets held on behalf of clients of Coinberry. Gemini is a licensed digital asset exchange and a New York trust company regulated by the New York State Department of Financial Services. Gemini is a "qualified custodian" for purposes of NI 31- 103.
Decentralized Finance WonderFi Aggregator Platform
WonderFi's decentralized finance or "DeFi" product is an aggregator platform (the "WonderFi App") that aims to solve the core problems in decentralized finance by aggregating and simplifying the interactions between users and the core smart contracts that constitute decentralized finance applications. The WonderFi App is non-custodial and leverages application programming interface ("API") integrations that allow users ("Users", and each a "User") to interact directly with third-party decentralized finance protocols based on distributed ledger technology ("DeFi Protocols") with sole custody and control. This architecture allows users to retain control of their assets, without WonderFi taking custody of client assets or transferring assets to a third-party.
Users can connect their existing software or hardware wallets owned and controlled by the User to the WonderFi App (the "Connected Wallet"), or create a new wallet for which the private key is owned and controlled by the User. Once a User has created their account on the WonderFi App, they can access the following: (i) Account Overview Page (as described below); (ii) Interest Tokens (as defined below) issued by DeFi Protocols ("Earn"); (iii) swap crypto assets ("Swap") on decentralized exchanges ("DEXs"); (iv) trade tokens issued by protocols that create and track DeFi indices ("Trade Index Tokens"); and (v) buy crypto assets with fiat currency. None of the Earn, Swap or Trade Index Token Functions involve fiat currency.
All transactions facilitated through the WonderFi App occur on open source DEXs, DeFi Protocols and public blockchain networks in accordance with transactions signed by the User in their own wallets. WonderFi does not take custody of any client crypto assets or fiat currency at any time.
i) Account Overview Page
The WonderFi App displays crypto asset balances held in the Connected Wallets, providing an aggregated view of holdings for Users who use multiple wallets. The WonderFi App also displays crypto asset pricing and other information from various DeFi Protocols and DEXs using an open source API.
ii) Earn
The Earn function allows Users to buy Interest Tokens. The WonderFi App allows Users to see crypto asset balances in their Connected Wallets, as well as interest rate information for crypto assets on loan through open source DeFi lending protocols (each, a "DeFi Lending Protocol").
Generally, a DeFi Lending Protocol is an autonomous software protocol which offer lenders the ability to lend crypto assets, and borrowers the opportunity to borrow crypto assets, at prescribed rates of interest that are adjusted autonomously based on supply and demand for the asset in the liquidity pool deposited to the protocol's smart contract. Lenders receive back tokens ("Interest Tokens", for example, "c" tokens on DeFi Protocol called Compound and "a" tokens on DeFi Protocol called Aave) representing their interest payment rights, and their right to withdraw the asset on deposit.
iii) Swap
The Swap function allows Users to swap crypto assets on DEXs. The WonderFi App allows Users to see crypto asset balances in their Connected Wallets, as well as pricing information for crypto asset trading pairs on DEXs.
iv) Indexes
The Trade Index Tokens function allows Users to view pricing, performance and constituent information relating to various open source indices created and maintained by communities independent of WonderFi, such as the DeFi Pulse Index (each, a "DeFi Index"). Generally, a DeFi Index is an autonomous software protocol (each, a "DeFi Index Protocol") which issues tokens, such as the DeFi Pulse Index ("DeFi Index Tokens") to users that deposit the prescribed amount of constituent tokens into the smart contract that governs the DeFi Index.
v) Buy Crypto
Users can also purchase crypto assets using their bank accounts or credit cards through the WonderFi App's API connection to third party payment processors. Currently, WonderFi has an API integration with Banxa Holdings Inc. ("Banxa"), a third-party payment processor. If a User connects to Banxa through the WonderFi App, purchased crypto assets are delivered directly to the User's Connected Wallet.
Education
Digital assets and decentralized finance present a steep learning curve for new and existing participants. WonderFi intends to provide high-quality resources for new entrants in the market through the development of a learning center that will focus on presenting core concepts in a simplified manner, and will avoid the use of jargon and terminology, which is often used within the existing decentralized finance user base. See "Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Information".
Data Analysis, Research and Insights
Obtaining accurate, real-time data is of critical importance in financial markets, but is made more difficult in digital asset markets due to the fragmentation of market data across centralized and decentralized protocols and platforms. WonderFi will be positioned to access a comprehensive range of real-time data insights through the aggregation platform's numerous direct API integrations with various protocols that span across the most widely adopted assets, markets, and layers. Additionally, WonderFi may obtain supplemental data, analysis, and research insights through the use of third-party providers, internal research activities and the use of customer activity data from WonderFi's aggregation platform. WonderFi intends to utilize these data sources and insights to guide product development, asset allocation, business processes, and future protocol integrations. Data sets and insights may be leveraged into a product to provide market data to third parties. See "Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Information".
Assets
A portion of WonderFi's treasury is held in crypto assets, primarily Bitcoin, or "BTC". WonderFi stores all treasury crypto assets with Bitbuy via its custodian BitGo. WonderFi employs a rigorous crypto asset selection process which is focused on, among other things, security risk, technology risk and governance risk. BTC is the native digital currency for the Bitcoin blockchain and is the first blockchain-based asset to achieve meaningful adoption in history. Within the context of the DeFi ecosystem, Bitcoin's primary use case is being used as collateral on various DeFi protocols. Outside of the DeFi ecosystem, Bitcoin is more broadly used to facilitate payments and as a store of value. WonderFi does not invest crypto assets on behalf of customers or provide investment advice to customers. More detailed information regarding the business of the Corporation as well as its operations and assets can be found in the Annual Information Form and other documents incorporated by reference herein, as supplemented by the disclosure herein. See "Documents Incorporated by Reference".
Competitive Landscape
Competition in the CeFi industry is significant, as WonderFi and its subsidiaries face direct competition from established and emerging companies, both regulated and unregulated, within the industry, such as WealthSimple Digital Assets Inc., VirgoCX, Simply Digital Technologies (carrying on business as CoinSmart), Bitvo Inc. and Netcoins Inc., amongst other domestic and international entities, as well as indirect competition from traditional financial institutions which have become increasingly involved in blockchain technology and crypto assets due to rising demand from their customer base. WonderFi expects an increasing number of CeFi competitors to enter the space in the near term, which may have the likely effect of intensifying competition. Similarly, competition in the DeFi industry is significant, as WonderFi faces direct competition from established and emerging companies within the industry, such as Coinbase, Zapper and Zerion as well as indirect competition from traditional financial institutions, and CeFi market participants which have become increasingly involved in exploration of DeFi blockchain technology and crypto assets. Given DeFi's nascent stage, WonderFi expects an increasing number of competitors to enter the space in the near term, which may have the likely effect of intensifying competition as the DeFi industry matures.
WonderFi has positioned itself within the evolving landscape of crypto-related regulation to serve users in both CeFi and DeFi, including with centralized and custodial, and decentralized and non-custodial products. With respect to DeFi, due to the industry's demonstrated interest in building DeFi products for the expert user rather than the novice, the Corporation's focus on new users has allowed it to compete directly against fewer DeFi platforms. WonderFi anticipates competition within the decentralized, non-custodial segment of the DeFi market that is focused on nascent users to intensify in the near-term as more market participants begin to realize the potential of DeFi. See "Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Information" and "Risk Factors - Competition".
RECENT DEVELOPMENTS
Further to its news release dated December 9, 2021, on January 25, 2022, the Corporation launched the WonderFi App, a simple and free app that provides users with a convenient interface for transacting in crypto assets using DeFi protocols. WonderFi is currently engaged in discussions with its principal regulator, the British Columbia Securities Commission ("BCSC"), regarding the application and interpretation of existing British Columbia regulatory requirements relating to securities and derivatives laws and their potential applicability to the operation of the WonderFi App. In addition, the Corporation is also currently engaged in discussions with staff at the Ontario Securities Commission ("OSC") regarding the applicability of Ontario securities or derivatives laws to its business. While such discussions are ongoing, the Corporation has agreed to restrict residents in all Canadian jurisdictions, including Ontario, from accessing the WonderFi App, and has provided an undertaking (the "Geoblock Undertaking") to the BCSC and the OSC not to lift such restriction in Ontario without the prior written consent of the OSC, and that until the OSC provides the written consent contemplated in the Geoblock Undertaking, the only operations to be provided by the Corporation or its subsidiaries in Ontario, or with Ontario residents, will be through Bitbuy, Coinberry or another registered dealer. The Corporation will continue to engage in discussions with staff at the BCSC, the OSC and other members of the Canadian Securities Administrators as to the applicability of Canadian securities and derivatives laws to its business. A copy of the Geoblock Undertaking is available under the Corporation's issuer profile on SEDAR at www.sedar.com. The Corporation acknowledges that its services may be subject to further requirements under applicable securities and derivatives laws in Canada. See "Risk Factors - Regulatory Risk".

DESCRIPTION OF UNITS
Units are a security comprised of more than one of the other Securities described in this Prospectus offered together as a "Unit". A Unit is typically issued so the holder thereof is also the holder of each Security included in the Unit. Thus, the holder of a Unit will have the rights and obligations of a holder of each Security comprising the Unit. The agreement, if any, under which a Unit is issued may provide that the Securities comprising the Unit may not be held or transferred separately at any time or at any time before a specified date.
The particular terms and provisions of Units offered by any Prospectus Supplement, and the extent to which the general terms and provisions described below may apply to them, will be described in the Prospectus Supplement filed in respect of such Units. This description will include, where applicable: (i) the designation and terms of the Units and of the Securities comprising the Units, including whether and under what circumstances those Securities may be held or transferred separately; (ii) any provisions for the issuance, payment, settlement, transfer or exchange of the Units or of the Securities comprising the Units; (iii) whether the Units will be issued in registered or global form; and (iv) any other material terms and conditions of the Units.
PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
The Corporation may sell the Securities, separately or together: (a) to one or more underwriters or dealers; (b) through one or more agents; or (c) directly to one or more purchasers through applicable statutory exemptions. The Prospectus Supplement relating to a particular offering of Securities will identify each underwriter, dealer or agent engaged in connection with the offering and sale of the Securities, as well as the method of distribution and the terms of the offering of such Securities, including the net proceeds to the Corporation and, to the extent applicable, any fees, discounts, concessions or any other compensation payable to underwriters, dealers or agents and any other material terms. Only underwriters so named in the Prospectus Supplement are deemed to be underwriters in connection with the Securities offered thereby.
The Securities may be sold, from time to time in one or more transactions at a fixed price or prices which may be changed or at market prices prevailing at the time of sale, at prices related to such prevailing market prices or at negotiated prices, including sales in transactions that are deemed to be "at-the-market distributions" as defined in NI 44-102, including sales made directly on the TSX. The prices at which the Securities may be offered may vary as between purchasers and during the period of distribution. If, in connection with the offering of Securities at a fixed price or prices, the underwriters have made a bona fide effort to sell all of the Securities at the initial offering price fixed in the applicable Prospectus Supplement, the public offering price may be decreased and thereafter further changed, from time to time, to an amount not greater than the initial public offering price fixed in such Prospectus Supplement, in which case the compensation realized by the underwriters will be decreased by the amount that the aggregate price paid by purchasers for the Securities is less than the gross proceeds paid by the underwriters to the Corporation.
Underwriters, dealers and agents who participate in the distribution of the Securities may be entitled under agreements to be entered into with the Corporation to indemnification by the Corporation against certain liabilities, including liabilities under securities legislation, or to contribution with respect to payments which such underwriters, dealers or agents may be required to make in respect thereof. Such underwriters, dealers and agents may be customers of, engage in transactions with, or perform services for, the Corporation in the ordinary course of business.
Any offering of Debt Securities, Subscription Receipts, Warrants or Units will be a new issue of securities with no established trading market. Unless otherwise specified in the applicable Prospectus Supplement, the Debt Securities, Subscription Receipts, Warrants or Units will not be listed on any securities exchange. See "Risk Factors". Certain dealers may make a market in these Securities, but will not be obligated to do so and may discontinue any market making at any time without notice. No assurance can be given that any dealer will make a market in these Securities or as to the liquidity of the trading market, if any, for these Securities.
In connection with any offering of the Securities the underwriters or agents may over-allot or effect transactions which stabilize or maintain the market price of the Securities offered at a higher level than that which might exist in the open market. Such transactions, if commenced, may be interrupted or discontinued at any time. A purchaser who acquires Securities forming part of the underwriters' over-allocation position acquires those Securities under this Prospectus, regardless of whether the overallocation position is ultimately filled through the exercise of the over-allotment option or secondary market purchases.
The Securities have not been, and will not be, registered under the U.S. Securities Act or the securities laws of any state of the United States and, subject to certain exceptions, may not be offered or sold or otherwise transferred or disposed of, directly or indirectly, to, or for the account or benefit of, persons in the United States or U.S. Persons absent registration under the U.S. Securities Act and all applicable state securities laws, or pursuant to applicable exemption therefrom. In addition, until 40 days after closing of an offering of Securities, an offer or sale of the Securities within the United States by any dealer (whether or not participating in such offering) may violate the registration requirement of the U.S. Securities Act if such offer or sale is made other than in accordance with an exemption under the U.S. Securities Act.

CERTAIN CANADIAN FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSIDERATIONS
The applicable Prospectus Supplement may describe certain Canadian federal income tax considerations generally applicable to investors described therein of purchasing, holding and disposing of applicable Securities, including, in the case of an investor who is not a resident of Canada, Canadian non-resident withholding tax consideration.
RISK FACTORS
An investment in the Securities involves risks. Prospective investors should carefully consider the risks described in the sections entitled "Risk Factors" in any Prospectus Supplement and those set forth in documents incorporated by reference in this Prospectus and any applicable Prospectus Supplement, as well as other information in this Prospectus and any applicable Prospectus Supplement, before purchasing any of the Securities. Each of the risks described in these sections and documents could materially and adversely affect the business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects of the Corporation, and could result in a loss of investment. Additional risks and uncertainties not known to the Corporation or that the Corporation currently deems immaterial may also impair the Corporation's business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.
Negative Operating Cash Flow
To date the Corporation has recorded no operating cash flow. There is no assurance that sufficient revenues will be generated in the near future. To the extent that the Corporation has negative operating cash flows in future periods, it may need to deploy a portion of its existing working capital to fund such negative cash flows. The Corporation may be required to raise additional funds through the issuance of additional equity securities or through loan financing. There is no assurance that additional capital or other types of financing will be available if needed or that these financings will be on terms at least as favourable to the Corporation as those previously obtained, or at all. Given its expected rate of cash burn, the Corporation expects to be able to continue operations and advance its business operations using its currently available non-contingent resources for at least 12 months from the date of this Prospectus.
Discretion in the Use of Proceeds
Management will have broad discretion concerning the use of the net proceeds from the offering of any Securities, as well as the timing of their expenditures. Depending on a number of factors, the intended use of proceeds from the offering of any Securities may change. As a result, an investor will be relying on the judgment of management for the application of the net proceeds from the offering of any Securities. Management may use the net proceeds from the offering of any Securities in ways that an investor may not consider desirable if they believe it would be in the best interests of the Corporation to do so. The results and the effectiveness of the application of proceeds from an offering of any Securities are uncertain. If the proceeds are not applied effectively, the Corporation's results of operations may suffer.
No Market for the Securities
There is currently no trading market for any Debt Securities, Subscription Receipts, Warrants or Units that may be offered. No assurance can be given that an active or liquid trading market for these securities will develop or be sustained. If an active or liquid market for these securities fails to develop or be sustained, the prices at which these securities trade may be adversely affected. Whether or not these securities will trade at lower prices depends on many factors, including liquidity of these securities, prevailing interest rates and the markets for similar securities, the market price of the Corporation, general economic conditions and the Corporation's financial condition, historic financial performance and future prospects.
Risks Associated with Future Acquisitions
The Corporation intends to continue to acquire additional businesses. Acquisitions involve a number of special risks, including diversion of management's attention, failure to retain key acquired personnel, unanticipated events or circumstances, and legal liabilities, some or all of which could have a material adverse effect on the Corporation's business, results of operations, prospects and financial condition. In addition, there can be no assurance that the Corporation can complete any acquisition it pursues on favourable terms, that any acquired businesses, products or technologies will achieve anticipated revenues and income, that any acquired businesses will be successfully integrated without significant use of the Corporation's resources and management's attention, or at all, or that any acquisitions completed will ultimately benefit the business. Furthermore, the potential funding of any such future acquisitions could require diversion of revenue or securing of debt or equity financings by the Corporation which could, in turn, result in a potentially dilutive issuance of equity securities. If a strategy of growth through acquisition is pursued, the failure of the Corporation to successfully manage this strategy could have a material adverse effect on the Corporation's business, results of operations, prospects and financial condition.
Regulatory Risk
The Corporation is subject to an extensive and rapidly evolving regulatory landscape and any adverse changes to, or failure to comply with, any laws and regulations could adversely affect the brand, reputation, business, operating results, or financial condition of the Corporation. As blockchain technology has grown in popularity and in market size, governments, regulators and self-regulators in Canada and globally are examining the operations of blockchain technology and its developers, users, investors and platforms. To the extent that any government or quasi-governmental agency exerts regulatory authority over the industry in general, the business of the Corporation may be adversely affected.
There is a risk that the Corporation may be required in the future to make changes to certain of its product offerings to comply with applicable laws and regulations, or that the general business of the Corporation, in whole or in part, could be subject to change, outlawed in jurisdictions in which it seeks to do business, or subjected to laws which impose costly and onerous obligations which could in the aggregate materially affect the Corporation's ability to expand its business and become profitable.
The Corporation's services may be subject to a wide range of laws and regulations intended to help detect and prevent money laundering, terrorist financing, fraud and other illicit activity (collectively, "AML Regulation"). In addition, the Corporation's services may be subject to registration and other requirements under applicable securities and derivatives laws in Canada, the United States and other jurisdictions (collectively, "Securities Regulation"). WonderFi is currently engaged in discussions with staff at the BCSC and the OSC regarding the applicability of Canadian securities or derivatives laws to the operation of the WonderFi App. Similar requirements may also apply in other jurisdictions where the Corporation offers its services. If required to be sought, there is no guarantee that the Corporation will be successful in obtaining such licenses or registrations, or exemptive relief from registration, from applicable governmental, quasi-governmental or regulatory bodies.
The interpretation of AML Regulation and Securities Regulation by judges, regulatory bodies and enforcement agencies is changing, often quickly and with little notice. As regulatory scrutiny and enforcement action in these areas increase, the Corporation expects its costs to comply with these requirements will increase, perhaps substantially. Failure to comply with any of these requirements could result in the limitation, suspension or termination of the Corporation's services, the seizure and/or forfeiture of the Corporation's assets and/or the imposition of civil and criminal penalties, including fines.
In addition to existing laws and regulations, various governmental and regulatory bodies, including legislative and executive bodies, in Canada, the United States and in other countries may adopt new laws and regulations, or new interpretations of existing laws and regulations may be issued by such bodies or the judiciary, which may adversely impact the development of the crypto- and decentralized finance- economy as a whole and the Corporation's legal and regulatory status in particular by changing how the Corporation operates its business, how its products and services are regulated, and what products or services the Corporation and its competitors can offer, requiring changes to its compliance and risk mitigation measures, imposing new licensing and registration requirements, or imposing a total ban on certain crypto asset or decentralized finance transactions. If required to be sought, there is no guarantee that the Corporation will be successful in obtaining any licenses or registrations that may in the future be required for the Corporation to offer its current or future product offerings, or exemptive relief from registration, from applicable governmental, quasi-governmental or regulatory bodies.
The Corporation is subject to Canadian and foreign laws and regulations that affect companies conducting business on the Internet, which regulate user privacy, data protection, content, intellectual property, distribution, electronic contracts and other communications, competition, consumer protection and taxation. In particular, the Corporation is subject to federal, provincial, and foreign laws regarding privacy and protection of user data. Foreign data protection, privacy, and other laws and regulations are often more restrictive than those in Canada. Existing and proposed laws and regulations can be costly to comply with and can delay or impede the development of new products, increase operating costs, require significant management time and attention, and subject the Corporation to claims or other remedies, including fines or demands that the Corporation modify or cease existing business practices.
The regulatory risks described above may be greater for companies in the blockchain industry as it is relatively new and clients, counterparties and regulators are expected to need significant education to understand the mechanics of products and services that rely on blockchain technology. Moreover, new laws, regulations, or interpretations of existing laws and regulations, may result in additional litigation, regulatory investigations, and enforcement or other actions, including preventing or delaying the Corporation from offering certain products or services similarly offered by the Corporation's competitors, or could impact how the Corporation offers such products and services. Adverse changes to, or failure to comply with, any laws and regulations may have an adverse effect on the reputation, brand, business, operating results or financial condition of the Corporation.
Competition
WonderFi is engaged in an industry that is highly competitive, and because its industry is evolving and characterized by rapid technological change, it is difficult for WonderFi to predict whether, when and by whom new competing technologies may be introduced or when new competitors may enter the market. WonderFi will face increased competition from companies with strong positions in certain markets WonderFi intends to serve and in new markets and regions it may enter. Many of WonderFi's competitors have significantly greater financial and other resources than WonderFi currently possesses and may spend significant amounts of resources to gain market share. WonderFi cannot assure investors that it will be able to compete effectively against current and future competitors. In addition, increased competition or other competitive pressures may result in price reductions, reduced margins or loss of market share, any of which could have a material adverse effect on WonderFi's business, financial condition or results of operations. Competitors may be able to respond to new or emerging technologies and changes in customer requirements more effectively than WonderFi may be able to, or devote greater resources to the development, promotion and sale of products than WonderFi may be able to. Current and potential competitors may establish cooperative relationships among themselves or with third parties, including through mergers or acquisitions, to increase the ability of their products to address the needs of WonderFi's prospective customers. If these competitors were to acquire significantly increased market share, it could have a material adverse effect on WonderFi's business, financial condition or results of operations. WonderFi's competitors may also establish or strengthen co-operative relationships with systems integrators, third-party consulting firms or other parties with whom WonderFi will have relationships, thereby limiting its ability to promote its products. If WonderFi is not able to differentiate its business from that of its competitors, drive value for customers or effectively align its financial and operational resources with its goals and objectives, WonderFi may not be able to compete effectively against its competitors. If WonderFi fails to compete effectively against its competitors, its business and profitability may be adversely affected.
COVID-19 Pandemic
The global outbreak of COVID-19 has resulted in governments worldwide enacting emergency measures to combat the spread of the virus. These measures, which include the implementation of travel bans, self-imposed quarantine periods and social distancing, have caused material disruption to businesses globally resulting in an economic slowdown. Global equity markets have experienced significant volatility and weakness. Governments and central banks have reacted with significant monetary and fiscal interventions designed to stabilize economic conditions. The duration and impact of the COVID-19 pandemic is unknown at this time, as is the efficacy of the governments' and central banks' interventions. It is not possible to reliably estimate the length and severity of these developments and the impact on the financial results and condition of the Corporation in future periods. To date, certain customers of the Corporation have suspended or scaled back their operations for precautionary purposes or as governments have declared a state of emergency or taken other actions, which may adversely affect the price and demand for the Corporation's services as well as its ability to collect outstanding receivables from its customers. The extent to which COVID-19 impacts the Corporation's financial results will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted, including new information that may emerge concerning the severity of COVID-19 and the actions taken by governments to curtail or treat its impact, including shelter in place directives, which, if extended, may impact the economies in which the Corporation now, or may in the future, operate.

PART II
INFORMATION NOT REQUIRED TO BE DELIVERED TO
OFFEREES OR PURCHASERS
Indemnification of Directors and Officers
Section 160 of the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia) (the “BCBCA”) provides that a company may do one or both of the following: (a) indemnify an eligible party (as defined below) against all eligible penalties (as defined below) to which the eligible party is or may be liable; or (b) after the final disposition of an eligible proceeding (as defined below), pay the expenses (which includes costs, charges and expenses (including legal and other fees) but excludes judgments, penalties, fines or amounts paid in settlement of a proceeding) actually and reasonably incurred by an eligible party in respect of that proceeding.
However, after the final disposition of an eligible proceeding, a company must pay the expenses actually and reasonably incurred by an eligible party in respect of that proceeding if the eligible party: (i) has not been reimbursed for those expenses: and (ii) is wholly successful, on the merits or otherwise, or is substantially successful on the merits, in the outcome of the proceeding. The BCBCA also provides that a company may pay the expenses, actually and reasonably incurred by an eligible party, as they are incurred in advance of the final disposition of an eligible proceeding if the company first receives from the eligible party a written undertaking that, if it is ultimately determined that the payment of expenses is prohibited under the BCBCA, the eligible party will repay the amounts advanced.
For the purposes of the applicable division of the BCBCA, an “eligible party”, in relation to a company, means an individual who:
(a) is or was a director or officer of the company;
(b) is or was a director or officer of another corporation at a time when the corporation is or was an affiliate of the company, or at the request of the company; or
(c) at the request of the company, is or was, or holds or held a position equivalent to that of, a director or officer of a partnership, trust, joint venture or other unincorporated entity,
and includes, with some exceptions, the heirs and personal or other legal representatives of that individual.
An “eligible penalty” under the BCBCA means a judgment, penalty or fine awarded or imposed in, or an amount paid in settlement of, an eligible proceeding.
An “eligible proceeding” under the BCBCA is a proceeding in which an eligible party or any of the heirs and personal or other legal representatives of the eligible party, by reason of the eligible party being or having been a director or officer of, or holding or having held a position equivalent to that of a director or officer of, the company or an associated corporation, is or may be joined as a party, or is or may be liable for or in respect of a judgment, penalty or fine in, or expenses related to, the proceeding. A “proceeding” includes any legal proceeding or investigative action, whether current, threatened, pending or completed. “Expenses” include costs, charges and expenses, including legal and other fees, but does not include judgments, penalties, fines or amounts paid in settlement of a proceeding. An “associated corporation” means a corporation or entity referred to in paragraph (b) or (c) of the definition of “eligible party” above.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the BCBCA prohibits a company from indemnifying an eligible party or paying the expenses of an eligible party if any of the following circumstances apply:
(a) if the indemnity or payment is made under an earlier agreement to indemnify or pay expenses and, at the time such agreement was made, the company was prohibited from giving the indemnity or paying the expenses by its memorandum or articles;
(b) if the indemnity or payment is made otherwise than under an earlier agreement to indemnify or pay expenses and, at the time that the indemnity or payment is made, the company is prohibited from giving the indemnity or paying the expenses by its memorandum or articles;
(c) if, in relation to the subject matter of the eligible proceeding, the eligible party did not act honestly and in good faith with a view to the best interest of the company or the associated corporation, as the case may be; or
(d) in the case of an eligible proceeding other than a civil proceeding, if the eligible party did not have reasonable grounds for believing that the eligible party's conduct in respect of which the proceeding was brought was lawful.
Additionally, if an eligible proceeding is brought against an eligible party by or on behalf of the company or an associated corporation, the company must not indemnify the eligible party or pay or advance the expenses of the eligible party in respect of the proceeding.
Whether or not payment of expenses or indemnification has been sought, authorized or declined under the BCBCA, section 164 of the BCBCA provides that, on the application of a company or an eligible party, the Supreme Court of British Columbia may do one or more of the following:
(a) order a company to indemnify an eligible party against any liabilities incurred by the eligible party in respect of an eligible proceeding;
(b) order a company to pay some or all of the expenses incurred by an eligible party in respect of an eligible proceeding;
(c) order the enforcement of, or any payment under, an agreement of indemnification entered into by a company;
(d) order a company to pay some or all of the expenses actually and reasonably incurred by any person in obtaining an order under section 164; or
(e) make any other order the court considers appropriate.
The BCBCA provides that a company may purchase and maintain insurance for the benefit of an eligible party or the heirs and personal or other legal representatives of the eligible party against any liability that may be incurred by reason of the eligible party being or having been a director or officer of, or holding or having held a position equivalent to that of a director or officer of, the company or an associated corporation.
The Registrant's articles provide that the Registrant must, subject to the BCBCA, (i) indemnify an eligible party and his or her heirs and legal personal representatives against all eligible penalties to which such person is or may be liable, and the Registrant must, after the final disposition of an eligible proceeding, pay the expenses actually and reasonably incurred by such person in respect of that proceeding to the fullest extent permitted by the BCBCA.
The Registrant's articles define “eligible penalty” to mean a judgment, penalty or fine awarded or imposed in, or an amount paid in settlement of, an eligible proceeding. “Eligible proceeding” under the Registrant's articles means a legal proceeding or investigative action, whether current, threatened, pending or completed, in which a director, former director or an officer or former officer of the Registrant (an “eligible party”) or any of the heirs and legal personal representatives of the eligible party, by reason of the eligible party being or having been a director or officer of the Registrant (a) is or may be joined as a party, or (b) is or may be liable for or in respect of a judgment, penalty, or fine in, or expenses related to, the proceeding.
The Registrant's articles further provide that the Registrant may, subject to any restrictions in the BCBCA, indemnify any person, including directors, officers, employees, agents and representatives of the Registrant, and that the failure of a director or officer of the Registrant to comply with the BCBCA or the Registrant's articles does not invalidate any indemnity to which he or she is entitled under the Registrant's articles.
The Registrant is authorized by its articles to purchase and maintain insurance for the benefit of any person (or his or her heirs or legal personal representatives) who: (i) is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the Registrant; (ii) is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of a corporation at a time when the corporation is or was an affiliate of the Registrant; (iii) at the request of the Registrant, is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of a corporation or of a partnership, trust, joint venture or other unincorporated entity; or (iv) at the request of the Registrant, holds or held a position equivalent to that of a director or officer of a partnership, trust, joint venture or other unincorporated entity; against any liability incurred by him or her as such director, officer, employee or agent or person who holds or held such equivalent position.
A policy of directors' and officers' liability insurance is maintained by the Registrant which insures directors and officers for losses as a result of claims against the directors and officers of the Registrant in their capacity as directors and officers and also reimburses the Registrant for payments made pursuant to the indemnity provisions under the Articles of the Registrant and the BCBCA.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers or persons controlling the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, the Registrant has been informed that in the opinion of the Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and is therefore unenforceable.
* * *
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers or persons controlling the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, the Registrant has been informed that in the opinion of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is therefore unenforceable.
