Two-phase participation

Participation rolls out in two phases — Strategic Collaborator round and open network participation via the bridge launch — each designed for different participant profiles and project stages, so that each layer strengthens, not destabilizes, the project's semantic, financial, and protocol integrity.

Phase 1, Strategic Collaborator round: targeted, value-aligned venture funds, DAOs, institutional partners, and strategic individuals who bring network access, expertise, credibility, and early ecosystem adoption alongside capital. Purpose: core development funding and a strong syndicate of long-term partners. Terms: FDV $50M, 10% allocation, vesting 1 year, TGE at the bridge launch. Status: current — this is the round the deck addresses.

Phase 3, open participation via the bridge launch: broader access when the core network utility is demonstrable, through the bridge's rule-bound issuance rather than a speculative listing.

The onboarding logic underneath the phases: participation is not determined solely by capital, but by alignment with the purpose, semantics, and structure of the transition. You are not simply joining a project; you are entering an economic grammar under construction. Onboarding is a medium of transition, not a point of sale — which is why early access goes to those most aligned and most able to give foundational support, and broad access waits for demonstrable utility rather than premature exposure to purely speculative markets.
