⚠️ Important: All forecasts are a vision of the future, not a guarantee. The probability of achieving optimistic forecasts may be very low (less than 10%). It is recommended to focus on conservative scenarios when making investment decisions. For more details, see DISCLAIMERS.md.


Calculation Methodology

Five Sources of Value for Investors:

  1. Dividends from treasury receipts (15% of all receipts)
  2. Token price growth (minimum and market price)
  3. Portfolio company governance token portfolio
  4. Access to DLE platform
  5. Co-investment opportunities

Treasury Balance and Token Price Calculation Mechanism

Initial Conditions

  • Total governance tokens: 3,000,000
  • Available for LPs: 30% = 900,000 tokens
  • Sequence:
    1. First, entrepreneurs purchase tokens (21,000 first accelerator entrepreneurs)
    2. Receipts from entrepreneurs: 84,000,000 USDT (minimum at full capacity)
    3. Then investors (LPs) purchase governance tokens

Initial Treasury Balance

  • From token sales to entrepreneurs: 84,000,000 USDT
  • From governance token sales to LPs (30%): 900,000 × 1,000 = 900,000,000 USDT
  • Total: 984,000,000 USDT

Initial Token Price

  • Initial token price (treasury-backed): 984,000,000 / 3,000,000 = 328 USDT
  • Primary sale price for LPs: 1,000 USDT per token
  • Premium at primary sale: 1,000 / 328 = 3.05x (premium for future growth)

Treasury Balance Growth

  • 70% of all receipts go to treasury (after 15% dividends and 15% expenses)
  • Receipts include: license sales, portfolio company exits, additional LP investments

Two Token Price Levels

1. Minimum Price (Treasury-Backed)

  • Formula: Minimum price = Treasury balance / 3,000,000
  • Guarantees token liquidity
  • Initial: 328 USDT (984,000,000 / 3,000,000)
    • Includes 84,000,000 USDT from token sales to first accelerator entrepreneurs
    • Includes 900,000,000 USDT from governance token sales to LP investors

2. Market Price (Accounts for Future Profit)

  • Can be significantly higher than minimum
  • Accounts for future receipts from license sales and exits
  • Example: if minimum price is 351,067 USDT (by year 5), market price can be 2,500,000 USDT (7x)
  • Holders can sell tokens at market price on secondary market

Token Liquidity Mechanism

Treasury Token Buyback

Buyback Mechanism:

  • Investor can sell tokens back to treasury at minimum price (treasury-backed)
  • Minimum price = Treasury balance / 3,000,000 tokens
  • Treasury guarantees token buyback at minimum price to ensure liquidity
  • Buyback procedure: Investor initiates buyback request through smart contract

Buyback Conditions:

  • Buyback is executed at minimum price (treasury-backed)
  • Treasury balance ensures ability to buy back all tokens
  • Buyback occurs in stablecoins (USDT)
  • Transparent system through smart contracts

Lock-Up Period

Minimum Holding Period:

  • Lock-up period: 12 months (1 year) from token purchase date
  • During lock-up period, investor cannot sell tokens back to treasury
  • Lock-up period applies only to treasury buyback, not to secondary market sales

Purpose of Lock-Up Period:

  • Ensuring fund stability in early years
  • Protection against short-term speculation
  • Guarantee of long-term investor participation in fund development

After Lock-Up Period:

  • Investor can sell tokens back to treasury at minimum price
  • Or sell tokens on secondary market at market price
  • No restrictions on token transfer to third parties after lock-up period

Secondary Token Market

Secondary Market Mechanism:

  • Holders can sell tokens to third parties on secondary market
  • Secondary market price is determined by supply and demand
  • Market price can be significantly higher than minimum (accounts for future profit)
  • No restrictions on token transfer after lock-up period

Factors Affecting Market Price:

  1. Expected Receipts from Accelerator:

    • License sales forecast (21,000+ entrepreneurs)
    • Client growth and scaling
  2. Portfolio Company Exit Forecast:

    • Expected number of successful exits (60-120 companies)
    • Average return from exits (10-15x)
    • Exit time structure (3-7 years)
  3. Treasury Balance Growth:

    • Receipts from license sales
    • Receipts from portfolio company exits
    • Additional LP investments
  4. Additional Value:

    • Access to DLE platform for digital asset management
    • Access to accelerator projects
    • Co-investment opportunities

Market Price Multiplier:

  • Market price can be 6-9 times higher than minimum price
  • Example: minimum price 351,067 USDT → market price 2,500,000 USDT (7x)
  • Multiplier depends on investor expectations regarding future profit

Token Transfer Restrictions

During Lock-Up Period (12 months):

  • Cannot sell tokens back to treasury
  • Can transfer tokens to third parties (secondary market sale)
  • All token holder rights transfer to new owner

After Lock-Up Period:

  • Can sell tokens back to treasury at minimum price
  • Can sell tokens on secondary market at market price
  • Can transfer tokens to third parties without restrictions

Rights Transfer Procedure:

  • Token transfer occurs through blockchain
  • All token holder rights (dividends, voting) transfer to new owner
  • Transparent system through smart contracts

Liquidity Provision with 70% Investments

Liquidity Maintenance Mechanism:

  • Treasury balance constantly grows from license sales receipts
  • 70% of receipts go to investments, but treasury balance does not decrease
  • Receipts from portfolio company exits increase treasury balance
  • Minimum token price is guaranteed by treasury balance

Example:

  • Initial balance: 984,000,000 USDT
  • Receipts from licenses: 339,452,400,000 USDT (70% goes to treasury)
  • Investments: 339,452,400,000 USDT (70% of receipts)
  • Treasury balance: 984,000,000 + 339,452,400,000 = 340,436,400,000 USDT
  • Minimum price: 340,436,400,000 / 3,000,000 = 113,478.8 USDT

Important:

  • Treasury balance ensures liquidity of all 3,000,000 tokens
  • Investments do not decrease treasury balance, as they are funded from receipts
  • Receipts from exits additionally increase treasury balance

Key Conclusions from Calculations

⚠️ Important: All forecasts are a vision of the future, not a guarantee. The probability of achieving optimistic forecasts may be very low (less than 10%). It is recommended to focus on conservative scenarios when making investment decisions. For more details, see DISCLAIMERS.md.

Conservative Scenario (10% of 333M entrepreneurs by year 5) — MORE REALISTIC:

  • At minimum price sale: 3,277% profit (~65%+ annually) ⚠️
  • At market price sale: 20,408% profit (~400%+ annually) ⚠️
  • Probability: Medium (30-50%)
  • Recommendation: Use this scenario as baseline when evaluating investments

Optimistic Scenario (40% of 333M entrepreneurs by year 5, exit rate 10%) — UNLIKELY:

  • At minimum price sale: 13,573% profit (~90%+ annually) ⚠️
  • At market price sale: 152,228% profit (~800%+ annually) ⚠️
  • Probability: Low (10-20%)
  • Recommendation: Consider as maximum possible scenario, not as expected result

Very Optimistic Scenario (40% of 333M entrepreneurs by year 5, exit rate 20%) — VERY UNLIKELY:

  • At minimum price sale: 13,695% profit (~90%+ annually) ⚠️
  • At market price sale: 252,245% profit (~1200%+ annually) ⚠️
  • Probability: Very low (less than 10%)
  • Recommendation: Consider as vision of the future, not as realistic forecast (see DISCLAIMERS.md)

Important:

  • Market token price accounts for future profit from accelerator and can be 6-9 times higher than minimum price (treasury-backed)
  • Even in conservative scenario, investors can receive profitability exceeding target IRR of 20-30%
  • Actual results may differ significantly from all forecasts — possibly tens or hundreds of times lower
  • All forecasts are a vision of the future, not a guarantee
