So the business plan is to become the oligarchs of the new network?

Hopefully not! Ideally token allocations are fair and do not skew ownership towards any individual or entity while still providing good incentives (we're still working on figuring out what good allocations look like)

Are there any public details on the Simple Agreement for Future Tokens?

Sorry for nagging, but I'm one of those skeptical of greedy people acting maximally greedy saving the world as a process waste.

The main reason there's currently not more details around the SAFT and the token model/allocations is that it would distract from the overall project and tech, given the current hype of blockchains and tokens.

There's certainly economic incentives for all participants, and what I find interesting is that since we're open sourcing all the code, anyone can easily deploy another network with a different token (model).

This puts pressure on us to propose fair token model/allocations else we risk disruption by forks or simply new Orchid networks.
