Why Stakeholder Tokens Exist
Legal Alignment
Tie token success to company success through a DAO LLC and a structured, enforceable agreement.
Accountability & Safeguards
Budgets are pre-set based on project needs. If funds are misused, the DAO can halt disbursements.
Clear Economics
The DAO LLC may participate per the note's terms (e.g., at an exit), creating transparency.
How the Standard Works
We set you up in the Crafts legal framework by forming a DAO LLC that is governed by your token holders.
Your project gains Discovery-page visibility while the DAO LLC raises capital on Crafts sized to the project's needs.
The DAO LLC funds the opco via a convertible-note–like agreement with a project-need monthly allowance; funds sit in a public on-chain vault.
Token holders govern the DAO LLC; if misuse occurs, the DAO LLC may pause disbursements and pursue appropriate remedies.
Token revenues—e.g., trading-fee share—first flow to the DAO LLC's vault, then allocate to clear buckets with transparent milestone and lock rules.
The DAO LLC has no voting rights in the operating company—strategy and execution remain with your team.

Stakeholder Token Benefits
Governance Over the DAO LLC
Token holders vote on budgets, token-beneficial actions, and key DAO decisions.
Budget Discipline
Monthly budget and release rules enforce responsible use of raised capital.
Exit Participation (Per Terms)
At an exit event, the DAO LLC may receive proceeds according to the note.
Token-Beneficial Proceeds
Trading-fee share and related revenues can fund buybacks, listings, and liquidity support.
Founder Freedom
The operating company keeps full strategic control; the DAO LLC does not vote at the opco.
