This document describes the **fund financial model**: formulas, parameters, return scenarios, liquidity, and calculation examples for an investor.

If you need:

- **ecosystem economic logic and revenue sources** — see [business-model.md](business-model.md);
- **market assumptions and external scenario rationale** — see [market-analysis.md](market-analysis.md);
- **year-by-year operating plan** — see [roadmap.md](roadmap.md).

> **Important:** All projections are a forward-looking vision, not a guarantee. The probability of achieving optimistic projections may be very low (under 10%). Focus on conservative scenarios. More: [DISCLAIMERS.md](DISCLAIMERS.md)

## Initial conditions

| Parameter | Value |
|----------|----------|
| Total governance tokens | 3,000,000 |
| Available to LPs | 30% = 900,000 tokens |
| Primary sale price for LPs | 1,000 USDT per token |
| Minimum investment | 10,000 USDT (10 tokens) |
| Maximum investment | 100,000 USDT (100 tokens) |
| Profit distribution | 15% dividends / 15% expenses / 70% investments |

### Forming the initial treasury balance

Sequence:
1. First-accelerator entrepreneurs (21,000) buy licenses → 84,000,000 USDT
2. LP investors buy governance tokens (30%) → 900,000,000 USDT

**Initial treasury balance: 984,000,000 USDT**

Initial minimum token price (treasury backing): 984,000,000 / 3,000,000 = **328 USDT**

Primary-sale premium: 1,000 / 328 = 3.05x (premium for future growth)

---

## Token pricing mechanism

### Minimum price (treasury backing)

**Formula:** treasury balance / 3,000,000

Guarantees liquidity — the treasury buys back tokens at this price. Grows as inflows enter the treasury (70% of all revenues).

### Market price

May be significantly above the minimum — reflects expected future inflows from licenses and exits. Multiplier 6–9x of the minimum price (depends on investor expectations).

Holders may sell tokens on the secondary market at market price.

---

## Liquidity mechanism

### Treasury buyback

- Investor sells tokens back to the treasury at the minimum price via smart contract
- Treasury balance backs buyback of all 3,000,000 tokens
- Buyback in stablecoins (USDT)

### Lock-up period: 60 months (5 years)

- During lock-up, tokens cannot be sold back to the treasury
- Applies only to treasury buyback
- Goal: fund stability, protection from speculation

### After the lock-up period

- Sale to the treasury at the minimum price
- Sale on the secondary market at market price
- Transfer to third parties without restrictions
- All rights (dividends, voting) pass to the new owner

---

## Return scenarios

### Investor income sources

1. **Dividends** — 15% of all treasury inflows, proportional to share
2. **Minimum-price growth** — as the treasury balance grows
3. **Market-price growth** — multiplier over the minimum

### Two financial-model scenarios

### Shared portfolio parameters

| Parameter | Value |
|----------|----------|
| Portfolio companies | 600 |
| Initial capital for investments (70% of treasury) | 688,800,000 USDT |
| Average investment per company | 1,148,000 USDT |
| Stages | from Pre-seed to ICO |

#### Conservative financial-model scenario (5 years)

| Parameter | Value |
|----------|----------|
| Entrepreneur coverage by year 5 | 10% of the global market (~33.3 million) |
| License inflows over 5 years | ~93,324,000,000 USDT |
| Exit rate | 10% (60 companies) |
| Average return from exit | 10x |
| Inflows from exits | ~688,800,000 USDT |

**Treasury balance by year 5:**

| Component | Amount (USDT) |
|-------------|-------------|
| Initial balance | 984,000,000 |
| From licenses (70%) | 65,242,800,000 |
| From exits (70%) | 482,160,000 |
| **Total** | **66,709,160,000** |

**Minimum token price:** 66,709,160,000 / 3,000,000 = **22,236 USDT**

**Market token price (estimate):** ~200,000 USDT

#### Optimistic financial-model scenario (5 years)

| Parameter | Value |
|----------|----------|
| Entrepreneur coverage by year 5 | 40% of the global market (~133.2 million) |
| License inflows over 5 years | ~373,044,000,000 USDT |
| Exit rate | 20% (120 companies) |
| Average return from exit | 15x |
| Inflows from exits | ~2,066,400,000 USDT |

**Treasury balance by year 5:**

| Component | Amount (USDT) |
|-------------|-------------|
| Initial balance | 984,000,000 |
| From licenses (70%) | 261,046,800,000 |
| From exits (70%) | 1,446,480,000 |
| **Total** | **263,477,280,000** |

**Minimum token price:** 263,477,280,000 / 3,000,000 = **87,826 USDT**

**Market token price (estimate):** ~1,500,000 USDT

### 5-year return summary table

| | Conservative (min. price) | Conservative (mkt. price) | Optimistic (min. price) | Optimistic (mkt. price) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| **Investment 10,000 USDT (10 tokens, share 0.000333%)** |
| Token value | 222,360 | 2,000,000 | 878,260 | 15,000,000 |
| Dividends | 46,960 | 46,960 | 187,368 | 187,368 |
| **Total** | **269,320** | **2,046,960** | **1,065,628** | **15,187,368** |
| Profit | 2,593% | 20,370% | 10,556% | 151,774% |
| **Investment 100,000 USDT (100 tokens, share 0.00333%)** |
| Token value | 2,223,600 | 20,000,000 | 8,782,600 | 150,000,000 |
| Dividends | 469,597 | 469,597 | 1,873,678 | 1,873,678 |
| **Total** | **2,693,197** | **20,469,597** | **10,656,278** | **151,873,678** |
| Profit | 2,593% | 20,370% | 10,556% | 151,774% |

### Stress test

| Scenario | Impact on returns |
|----------|----------------------|
| Sales 2× below forecast | Minimum price ~11,000 USDT, return ~1,000% over 5 years |
| Exit rate 5% instead of 10–20% | Minor reduction — main income from licenses |
| Token bans in some jurisdictions | Refund terms, focus on friendly jurisdictions |

---

## Summary

| Scenario | Probability | Return (min. price) | Return (mkt. price) |
|----------|------------|----------------------|----------------------|
| Conservative (10%) | Medium (30–50%) | ~2,593% over 5 years | ~20,370% over 5 years |
| Optimistic (40%) | Low (10–20%) | ~10,556% over 5 years | ~151,774% over 5 years |

**Key takeaways:**

- The main return driver is license sales, not exits
- The minimum token price is backed by the treasury balance
- Even in the conservative scenario, returns many times exceed a 20–30% target IRR
- Actual results may differ significantly from all projections — possibly tens or hundreds of times lower
- **All projections are a forward-looking vision, not a guarantee**
