Key takeaway

Setting aside 75% for users — over a 15-year emission — flipped the typical insider/community ratio. Demonstrates "tokens are credentials, not equity" thinking.

Design notes
  • USER GRANTS DRIP OVER 15 YEARS — INFLATION DESIGNED FOR DECADES, NOT QUARTERS.
  • WLD ONLY CLAIMABLE BY ORB-VERIFIED HUMANS — TIES TOKEN TO IDENTITY.one human = one share
  • NOT LEGALLY AVAILABLE TO US PERSONS AT LAUNCH.
