FAF: An Ownership Token

Flash Trade is building a protocol where token holders are real owners—not just speculators holding a governance token with no economic power.

FAF gives you 50% of protocol revenue, direct control over the treasury, and legal ownership rights. This is what we call an ownership token.

Why We Built FAF This Way

Most DeFi tokens are broken. Revenue flows to a "Labs" entity, teams control treasuries via unaccountable multisigs, and token holders bear all the risk while capturing none of the upside.

We rejected that model from the start:

• No VC allocation — 80% of FAF went directly to the community

• No team dumps — Compensation is determined by governance, not predetermined allocations

• No Labs extraction — Protocol revenue goes to stakers, not a separate company

FAF adopts the MetaDAO ownership token standard, which provides the legal and governance framework that makes these protections enforceable.

What You Own as a FAF Holder

50% of Protocol Revenue

Every 6 hours, half of all Flash Trade trading fees are distributed to FAF stakers in USDC. This isn't a future promise—it's live now and enforced through governance.

→ Revenue Sharing

Treasury Control

Flash Trade's treasury is market-governed through FAFtarchy. The team operates on a configured monthly budget. Any spending above that requires a governance proposal where the market decides if it benefits FAF holders.

If the market determines a proposal harms token value, it gets rejected automatically—no team override.

Protocol Ownership

Flash Trade's intellectual property—domains, social accounts, code, brand—belongs to the DAO, not a separate company. Token holders have real legal standing, not just vibes.

How Flash Trade Protects You

FAFtarchy Governance

We use futarchy-based governance where decisions are made through prediction markets, not popularity votes. For each proposal:

1. Two markets open: "FAF price if this passes" vs "FAF price if this fails"

2. Traders stake real capital on their conviction

3. The side with higher time-weighted average price wins

4. Execution is automatic

This means informed participants have more influence than whale voters, and proposals that would harm FAF get rejected by the market itself.

→ FAFtarchy Governance

No Hidden Inflation

FAF has no automatic emissions or scheduled team unlocks outside of governance. The mint authority is controlled by FAFtarchy—not a human operator. Any supply changes require passing a market proposal.

Performance-Aligned Team

The core team has no predetermined token allocation. Compensation is determined through FAFtarchy governance based on performance and protocol needs. No backdoor OTC deals, no hidden insider payouts.
