FAQ

1 | Why not start a normal company and sell shares in it ?

Speed matters.

Blockchain is a 10-100x speedup in equity technology.

It's a civilizational shift.

We want to move as fast as possible, so we use blockchain to manage our equity.

2 | What am I buying with my investment ?

Dividends.

Tela Network makes money by charging a transaction fee on its messages.

We will return profit to shareholders as dividends in Ethereum paid to their crypto address.

Network Dividends = Profit / Total Shares

3 | How is the investment converted into shares ?

The transaction that you make is added to the Ethereum blockchain. This transaction has a timestamp.

We take the closing price of Ethereum on that day, using historical data published by NASDAQ:
www.nasdaq.com/market-activity/cryptocurrency/eth/historical

We then convert the Ethereum to a USD value at that price, and divide by the share price to get the number of shares that you have purchased.

4 | How can I check the status of my investment ?

We will publish a pseudonymized share table and send you your unique identifier. With it, you can look up your personal share total. You will also be able to see the total number of shares.

If you have a Tela account, your dividend payments will appear on your balance sheet.
