The Token DPA’s terms can be modified to meet projects’ specific needs, allowing the loan to be paid back in cash or Tokens. For example, you can give your project breathing room by pushing back the date interest accrues. To reward early supporters, you can also ensure investors get preferential pricing on tokens if a token distribution event ever occurs. To make the Token DPA a more flexible instrument than the SAFT, the Token DPA can grant investors (instead of the company) the choice to have all or part of their monies refunded before the loan is paid back. There is no guarantee a company will have the funds to return a investor’s principal, purchasing a Token DPA can result in a total loss.
