—Token Metrics —

1) Did HybridBlock receive any angel investments?
A) Yes, the team conducted an angel round in 2017 that raised approximately $8 million at an average token price of $0.10USD. These funds were used to fund product development and were set on a strict monthly vesting schedule. We are happy to say that HybridBlock is capitalized and a real business already.

2) Can you clarify the token economics for the project?
A) Originally, the hard cap of this sale was set to $100 million, which included a liquidity pool. However, after we made significant progress with the product, we decided to adjust that figure down. Thus, a new hard cap was set to $50 million.

With the adjustment, we still need to take into account strategic partners and a general buffer that is standard. We will only accept $50M total in contributions (this is set) and all remaining tokens will be burned following the hard cap target.

Maximum Possible Token Supply: 1 billion HYB

Angel Investments: Average Price $.10/HYB
Presale: $.20/HYB
OTS: $.30/HYB

Example Scenario: 230 million HYB would be sold if $40 million is raised through the pre-sale and $10 million raised through OTS.

Angel Lockup: 20% upfront and 10% per month
Pre-sale Lockup: 50% upfront and 10% per month

3) What will happen to unsold tokens?
A) Once the $50 million hardcap is reached, HybridBlock is planning to eliminate the remainder of the tokens not sold in the sale. For example, if 300m tokens are sold out of 532m, the remaining 232m tokens will be eliminated from the community pool. The corresponding percentage eliminated from the community pool will then be eliminated from the team and marketing pools as well.

This allows for the community to maintain the majority supply of tokens in circulation, while also reducing the number from the marketing/team pools.
