They can
- ✓Take their monthly allowance, to wallets they named before the sale opened
- ✓Take less money than people offered, and send the rest back
- ✓Buy and sell the token like anyone else
How it works
The rules are fixed before a company opens its raise.
A company posts what it needs, how long the sale runs, and how much the team can spend each month. You put in as much as you want. You cannot pull it out while the sale is running, and you cannot add more once it ends.
If the company missed its target, the sale is off and everyone takes their money back. If it hit the target, the sale worked. The team can choose to take less than came in and send the rest back, but never less than the target they published.
The instant the sale succeeds, one action does all of it: the tokens get made, a public trading pool opens at the price backers paid, the rest of the money goes into a pot only the monthly allowance can reach, and the ability to make new tokens is switched off forever. Only then can the tokens be moved. No trading pool, no moving tokens.
Starting 30 days later, the team can take their allowance and nothing more. Whatever is left, they cannot touch. Neither can we.
This is what the planned code will allow, not a promise from a founder.
We plan to stop its allowance, then let token holders take a share of what remains.
The team stops getting paid. No money moves anywhere. They cannot switch it back on.
We write down who is holding tokens at that exact moment. That list is what decides who gets paid.
A week later, anyone on that list can hand in their tokens for a share of the money still sitting there. If we have not opened this, anyone can open it themselves.
Funding comes first. Later, we want people holding a token to decide how its money gets spent instead of our shared account.
That decision system is not built yet.
