Background The Token DPA (Debt Payable by Assets) (“DPA”) is a debt security created by the Republic Crypto team specifically for token pre-sales. We've designed the Token DPA with unaccredited and international investors in mind, but we believe it's the best way to pre-sell tokens for any project and for accredited and unaccredited investors alike. Just as we created and open sourced the Crowd SAFE, we’re open sourcing the Token DPA with hopes that it becomes an industry standard to make investing easier and to help support the blockchain ecosystem more broadly. Feel free to send us an e-mail if you’re planning a token pre-sale or have already held one and want to build a larger, more inclusive network of non-accredited investors.
Yes, right

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. Yes, you understood correctly

Of I'm not mistaken, there was an airdrop on this project of which I participated in but never got the token. Oh well, is there any other way to get some free tokens
