Background on SAFE + Token Warrant
Why use a SAFE + Token Warrant?
In the past, a common framework for token sales was the Simple Agreement for Future Tokens (SAFT). SAFTs were initially popular as they allowed for pre-sales of tokens at a discounted price before the public launch.
An approach that has gained traction during the recent bull market is the use of token warrants or token rights agreements, often attached to a Simple Agreement for Future Equity (SAFE) or to another equity investment contract. Token warrants provide investors with the right, but not the obligation, to purchase tokens at a discounted price during an early funding round. In this case, the SAFE is used to invest capital into a project in exchange for stock of the project's corporate entity, and the warrant is used to denote how said stock will convert into tokens.
How does stock equity convert to token equity?
A stakeholder's allocation of tokens is pro rata to their allocation of stock. This means that their ownership stake in the company's tokens is proportionally reflected in their ownership of stock. Depending on the warrant, a stakeholder's stock equity can be applied pro-rata to the total token supply, or a portion of tokens set aside for core team and/or investors.
* We are not endorsing or recommending the use of any specific contract. When using TokenTable, always verify that the terms of the contract you upload are fully consistent with the terms you input into the platform. TokenTable is built to support many common contract terms. Please contact support@tokentable.xyz if TokenTable does not adequately support your fundraising needs, so we can find a solution for you.
