Short of a solo-founder doing a fair-market launch (like $NATIVE), this will be a perennial barb. That said, a true cabal would not be as visible as this group is. You know who's in it. You know how it works. The docs are available on day one. It's a token on the open-market. Yes, it took pre-meditated coordination and planning that didn't involve posting every decision to the feed (see: DAOs, Rainbow's M&A department, etc.). But that's how the real world works. ๐—ง๐—ต๐—ฒ ๐—ก๐—”๐—ฉ ๐— ๐—ผ๐—ฑ๐—ฒ๐—น Very fair sets of questions here. My assessment in joining $SKY was primarily around this. My answer? The NAV model, especially when tokenized, aligns our incentives with founders and token-holders from Day Zero. It puts the onus on us to a) pick great projects with plenty of room to grow and move the needle for our entire space and b) help add value to those projects through effort and elbow grease.

> The NAV model, especially when tokenized, aligns our incentives with founders and token-holders from Day Zero ...this could just be achieved by holding the portfolio, no? the issue with the current nav/buyback model is that it will drain the treasury very quickly

Simply holding a portfolio doesnโ€™t put any time pressure on value-add. This would be founder-friendly, and certainly create an index, but doesnโ€™t align us with holder (who could do easily do the same). Nor does a portfolio-only model provide any cap on downside for holders. The NAV model tries to solve for that as well. Either way in general, I think itโ€™s an interesting and novel model worthy of a run. It may not work for many reasons (including the one you mention), but weโ€™re certainly gonna try! Best case scenario itโ€™s a massive boon for all involved. Worst case scenario, we could amend to portfolio holding.
