Investment FAQ

What is the minimum investment amount? +

The minimum investment for Series A is $1,000,000. However, for strategic investors who bring significant value beyond capital (technical expertise, distribution, partnerships), we may consider lower amounts on a case-by-case basis.

How does the revenue sharing work? +

Series A investors receive competitive revenue share, distributed quarterly. This includes transaction fees, trading fees, subscription revenue, and enterprise contracts. Distributions begin immediately upon platform launch in Q2 2025.

When will XYL tokens be distributed? +

XYL tokens will be distributed at Token Generation Event (TGE) planned for Q4 2025. Series A investors receive competitive token allocation with a 3-year vesting schedule: 25% at TGE, then linear monthly vesting over 36 months.

What happens in an acquisition scenario? +

Series A investors have a 2x liquidation preference. In an acquisition, you receive the greater of: (1) 2x your investment amount, or (2) your pro-rata share of the acquisition price. Additionally, accelerated vesting of all tokens occurs upon change of control.

Can international investors participate? +

Yes, we welcome international investors. The round is structured to accommodate investors from major jurisdictions including US, EU, UK, Singapore, and others. We'll work with local counsel to ensure compliance with your jurisdiction's requirements.
