Safe Token Value Alignment Program

We propose a Value Alignment Program (VAP) that allows Safe ecosystem projects to pledge a portion of their tokens, equity, or revenue in exchange for Safe tokens, credibility, and ecosystem support. With VAP, Safe would be able to capture value from ownership and/or revenue generation of selected ecosystem projects, in return for providing credibility.

With VAP, Safe offers ownership in exchange for an equivalent pledge of ownership or revenue from Safe ecosystem projects.

The VAP would allow Safe ecosystem projects the option to pledge, to Safe:

• a percentage of ownership (e.g. tokens, equity, or NFTs representing shares of the project); or,
• a percentage of revenue (i.e. fees encoded in smart contracts).

While Safe would benefit from capturing:

• A share of the ecosystem projects’ tokens and their upside; or,
• A share of their revenue; or,
• A share of equity ownership

Ecosystem projects that succeed in their pledge applications would gain:

• Credibility, branding, and legitimacy from being a verified partner of Safe (especially important when a project is in its early stages of development).
• Guidance from Safe towards high-potential primitives/verticals for product-market fit (for early-stage projects)
• Help from Safe in growing adoption and finding synergies within the Safe ecosystem (for growth-stage projects)
• Safe tokens
