I'm trying to understand how the 25% annual uprate on token issuances is applied in the FlexUp model. Specifically:

  • Is the uprate compounded annually based on the project's start date (i.e., a global uprate for all tokens issued),
  • Or is it calculated individually for each participant based on their own entry date (i.e., when they received their tokens or joined the project)?

Clarification on this point would help me understand how long-term participation is incentivized and how token value evolves over time for different contributors.

Thanks in advance!

That is a fundamental and excellent question about the FlexUp Economic Model and how we ensure long-term value preservation and incentivize early and continuous participation.

The 25% annual uprate in the FlexUp model is applied through a single token index for each Account that signs a FlexUp Charter (designated as a “project”), which is shared by all tokens in that project. This means the uprate is not calculated individually for each participant in that project (designated as an “associate” for that project). Instead, all tokens reference the same evolving index, similar to how all shares in a company share the same share price.

However, each token keeps a record of the token index (the “issue index”) on the date this token was issued (the “issue day”). This issue index is important for two reasons:

  1. Determining how many tokens someone receives
    Example: If a contributor has a token commitment of 800 € and the token index at issuance is 20 €/token, they receive 40 tokens.
  2. Setting the minimum redemption value for redeemable tokens
    The issue index is used to calculate the token’s minimum price at which the project can exercise its option to buyback the token (the “redemption price”). Note that this only applies for “redeemable tokens”.

In summary:

  • Each account that signs a FlexUp Charter (a “project”) has a single token index and token uprate why apply equally to all tokens. The issue date matters only for the issue index of each specific token, which determines the number of tokens allocated and the minimum redemption price.
