The Core Idea
Most tokens today have no legal claim on anything. Founders can raise money, build companies, and extract value while token holders are left with nothing. Bedrock fixes this by introducing a simple but powerful structure:- Every project is a real company (BVI entity)
- A neutral Bedrock Foundation holds equity on behalf of token holders
- Tokens become a market-driven proxy for company value
How It Works
1) Fundraise -> Then incorporate -> Then launch
Bedrock enforces a strict sequence:- Founder KYC
- Fundraise (funds held securely)
- Company incorporation
- Token launch
2) The structure (3 layers)
Project Company (BVI)The founder’s company. Holds IP, signs contracts, and runs operations. Bedrock SPC
Holds approximately 10-20% equity in each project via preference shares. Bedrock Foundation
Independent entity that enforces token holder rights when needed. Each project is legally isolated, but protected under the same system.
3) Ownership and control
- Founders: >=80% equity and full control
- Bedrock: minority preference shares (no day-to-day control)
- Fraud
- Misuse of funds
- Unauthorized value extraction
- Failed startups
- Token price drops
- Normal business decisions
What Founders Get
- A fully set up, legally compliant company in days (not weeks)
- Ability to raise funds transparently
- Ability to sign contracts, hire, and operate globally
- Proper treasury and IP ownership
- Limited liability and institutional credibility
- A clean path to equity raises, partnerships, and exchange listings
What Token Holders Get
- A real legal counterparty behind the token
- IP legally owned by the company (not the founder personally)
- Enforceable protections via the Foundation
- A funded litigation mechanism (no cost to holders)
- If a founder commits fraud, there is recourse
- If the company is acquired, value flows through equity
- If the project fails, there are no guarantees (this is still a startup)
The Buyout Mechanism
Bedrock aligns tokens with equity through a built-in acquisition path:- Acquire 30%+ of tokens, then buy remaining supply at a premium, then receive equity
- Acquire 100% of tokens, then receive the full Bedrock equity stake
- Any acquisition flows through the token
- Token holders benefit from buyout premiums
- Founders can exit the structure if needed
Financial Structure
From a raise:- 10% -> liquidity (DEX pools)
- $7.5K -> legal setup
- Rest -> company treasury
- A portion of trading fees funds a $2M litigation pool for enforcement
Key Constraints
Founders must:- Assign all IP to the company
- Keep company and personal funds separate
- Avoid regulated activities (for example, custody or exchange) without licenses
- Stay compliant with local tax obligations
- Hold tokens, not equity
- Have no control over operations
- Bear normal startup risk
