What is the Crowd Simple Debt Agreement (“Crowd SDA”)?
Under the terms of the Crowd SDA, investors lend money to the company in exchange for annual interest payments during the term of the agreement. The company has the right to accelerate repayment of interest and/or principal, subject to a minimum return multiple (e.g. 1.5x the principal). If the company makes all interest payments due under the Crowd SDA, the minimum return multiple will be satisfied. RISK NOTE: payments are not guaranteed. The company may not have sufficient capital available to meet its payment obligations under the Crowd SDA, and the Crowd SDA is unsecured, meaning there is no collateral to which investors would have recourse in the event that the company is unable to meet its payment obligations. Your return depends on your investment amount, the interest rate and the minimum return multiple amount detailed in the agreement. There is no guarantee of a return, as the company you lend to may not be able to service the debt and has not secured the debt with any assets. |

Token DPA vs. SAFT and SAFTE
Currently, the SAFT (Simple Agreement for Future Tokens) is the instrument widely used by blockchain companies to pre-sell tokens. Republic Crypto aims to change that with the Token DPA. Although the SAFT dominates as a token presale agreement with accredited investors, Republic believes that this instrument is not optimal for less sophisticated retail investors––specifically when the SAFT includes no maturity date or a provision to claim company assets if a project fails. The use of the derivative SAFTE (Simple Agreement for Future Tokens & Equity) which provides the prospect of future equity may not provide adequate protection if the project fails as equity holders are generally below debt holders in the event of a liquidation.
Our team realized: Who wants an IOU when we have existing established regimes for lending money to projects and leaving deposits on future purchases?
We're primarily concerned with how many SAFT instruments allows investors' token distribution rights to expire without the recourse of being a debtor as well as the inability of investors' to request money back if goals or projects never materialize on the promised schedule. Our team can reduce these concerns with the Token DPA, providing flexible terms favorable to investors’ interests. Despite using a framework for every agreement, each Token DPA is different and investors should read and understand each investment contract before making an investment. With a standard SAFT, investors must wait for a public token sale or distribution by an issuing company to receive tokens, otherwise their right to a return on their investment can be left unfulfilled, possibly forever. In contrast, the Token DPA provides a method for investors to either receive part or all of their principal back, earn a cash return or receive the desired tokens when certain events occur. It should be noted, these protections rely on the company issuing the Token DPA abiding by its terms, there can be no guarantee of this. For example, if a company issuing a Token DPA spends all of their capital before investors’ right to request a return of capital occurs, investors’ could force the company into insolvency when they make the request. |

Absolutely before you engage in some projects you must research first the project itself and look for the credibility of the project, trusted ratings and even the remarks of the people. It is the basic fundamental of investment so be aware and does not be impulsive on your investment.

New users have joined the community. I think that very soon there will be a lot of us.
I created a new account just now. In fact, I have another. But he has a negative trust. I hope that you can use new accounts? I doubt red trust can be used here ... The administrator did not say that there are any restrictions for accounts. So that you could use another account if you want. |
