Abstract

We propose to increase the Telos Founder’s Reward Pool from 6 Million TLOS to 18 Million TLOS: to account for the increased launch group participants since inception to receive a split of 6M TLOS and an unexpected extended launch period, to reflect the current bear market conditions and, to adequately compensate the work done by all the good people for their work in launching the Telos Network.

Motivation

The original proposal called for 6 million TLOS shared amongst 6 BPs. We have since changed this to reflect community feedback and have opened up the 6 million TLOS reward pool to all participants of the network. As a result, we have on-boarded over 100+ contributors to the Telos Launch Group. However, the unintended consequence of this openness is a much lower reward compensation to each contributor in a bear market.

Additionally, the expected launch of the Telos Blockchain Network was in the August – September timeframe, which has since been delayed by No-Go votes in September and October 2018.

We believe an increase to 18 million TLOS will provide adequate compensation to reflect the increase in launch participants as well as the extended delay in launching the network.

We are very close to launching the Telos Network and this would not have been possible without the hard work done by all the good people involved in this project. Market conditions have changed since writing the White Paper and we are currently in a bear market. The opening price of TLOS is expected to be low and this may not adequately compensate all the hard work done by all these exceptional people.

Rationale

With the current bear market conditions, the opening price of TLOS is expected to be low. Increasing the Telos Founder’s Rewards Pool to 18 Million TLOS will compensate for the depressed market conditions and adequately reward the hard work done by all the unexpectedly large number of exceptional launch participants involved with the Telos Project.

Specifications

The increased token supply will come from additional issuance at launch.
