Today marks one year since $OPSYS launched. One year of learning, building, and refining what this token means. This is our 2026 token model. A system built on conviction, not speculation. If you're reading this, you're early to what comes next. Over the next few weeks, we will dive even deeper into what we've got in store. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ $OPSYS Boot Sequence An operating system is the layer between hardware and everything else, the code that makes the machine usable. A studio is the same thing for creative work. The code that makes the room run. The rituals that turn time into output. We named ourselves after that layer. Operating System. Before it was a token, it was a conviction: that taste matters, that craft compounds, that getting it right matters more than getting it fast. Our token has been live for an entire year. We've learned a lot, and we're ready to double down on our vision: if you hold $OPSYS, it's because you run on the same code we do. You're in the studio with us. This is the next version. A system for mutual conviction: if the studio thrives, the people who sharpen the work may share in that upside. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ Every studio has its people. A studio runs on more than one kind of relationship. There are the people who commission the work, who bring the problems worth solving and trust you to solve them. And there are the people at the bench beside you, the ones you trust with your messiest drafts because they make the work better just by seeing it. We're calling them Partners and Benchmates. Two ways in. Each one asks something different, and offers something back. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ PARTNERS Partners bring the problems worth solving and trust us to solve them. Partners commission the work. They bring problems worth solving and trust us to solve them. They lock $2,500 in $OPSYS for 12 months, calculated at the 7-day average price when they commit. They pay for the work separately in USDC. The lock is the handshake. When a project leaves the studio, it carries our Seal: a soulbound mark, custom designed NFT, non-transferable. Each one numbered. Each number means something, if you know how to read it. One seal per Partner per year. The Seal can never be bought, only earned. What Partners get: • Priority booking during busy seasons • Periodic airdrops (100% of treasury, proportional to locked tokens) • The Seal, with stacking benefits • Access to our exclusive events (dinners, gatherings, working sessions), plus extra invites for your inner circle • A dedicated space in our Telegram • Submit work to our monthly crits • Small batch merch, including first access to initial offerings • Studio Archives • Relock bonuses: $500 year two, $750 year three, $1,250 year four At the end of 12 months, Partners have a 2-week window to commit to another year. Relock and your tokens roll into a new 12-month lock. Miss the window and tokens enter a 14-day linear unlock. No grace period. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ BENCHMATES Benchmates are the people who want to be close to the work. Friends, collaborators, fellow travelers. They hold the PFP as proof of alignment. They lock $2,500 in $OPSYS for one quarter and mint a PFP. The PFP is generative, transferable, and limited to 1,024. What Benchmates get: • Periodic airdrops for every quarter they're locked (100% of treasury, proportional to locked tokens) • Event invites, plus a +1 • Access to the studio Telegram (comms channel) • Submit work to our monthly crits • Small batch merch (gated drops for PFP holders) • Studio Archives (FKA scrap work, it's design resources, and stuff lying around the studio floor) + taste index At the end of each quarter, Benchmates have a 2-week window to relock. Miss it and tokens enter a 14-day linear unlock. Benchmates who sign an MSA and complete a project become eligible for a Seal. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ THE ENGINE Studios run on time. Time costs money. Money comes from clients who pay for work. We take 10% of every client payment and buy $OPSYS on the open market within seven days. Publicly. On-chain. Verifiable. Work flows in, value accumulates. If the work stops, the engine stops. There is no other fuel. What triggers a buyback: • Client project payments (design and development work) What doesn't: • Merch sales • NFT primary sales or royalties • Grants, sponsorships, or ecosystem funding • Speaking fees or consulting The buybacks are narrow by design. This program runs on client work. Everything else is extra. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ THE RHYTHM Periodically, we airdrop 100% of accumulated $OPSYS to everyone who stayed locked for the full period. Q1 2026 (Jan–Mar): Grace period. No tracking. We're setting up. Q2 2026 (Apr–Jun): First tracking period. Locks go active April 1. Airdrops begin Q3 2026 (July 2026). After that, airdrops continue periodically, at our discretion. How airdrops work: Your share = (your locked tokens ÷ total locked tokens) × 100% of treasury Partners and Benchmates receive airdrops on equal terms, proportional to what they've locked. Airdrops are pushed directly to your wallet. No claim action required. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ LOCK WINDOWS New locks: 2-week window before the quarter starts. Relocks: 2-week window before your current lock ends. Mid-period additions: Not allowed. Missed window: No grace period. Tokens enter 14-day linear unlock. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ This is the system. Over the next few weeks, we'll break down the mechanics, showcase the work that built year one, and open the doors to what comes next. The lock window opens March 15–31. Until then, watch what we build. The work is the proof. Everything else is architecture around that.
