What is $GRANT?

$GRANT represents future equity in OpenGrants. We launched a continuous offering to let you become an owner of OpenGrants. We allocated 11.1% of our equity to the $GRANT offering. The price of $GRANT will evolve with the demand for $GRANT.

What can you do with $GRANT?

  • $GRANT can be held as representation of ownership of future equity. $GRANT will convert at a liquidity event.
  • $GRANT can be traded on a secondaries market once those are available for these vehicles. $GRANT can be sold to investors, however, Egeria Corporation retains the right of first refusal, please send any requests to [email protected]

Can you sell/trade $GRANT?

Yes, but see the notes above and refer to the contract. You will need to set up sales or trades independently as there are not any exchanges that support the sale of a Continuous Agreement for Future Equity at this time.

How do I set up an independent sale?

Simply send the details of the trade or sale to [email protected] for review. Our team will review and send feedback.

Details must include (1) the amount you wish to sell and (2) information regarding the parties involved in the sale, including purchaser’s name, entity type and a few links to relevant profiles for the individual or business for our vetting process.

Do I have to pay taxes on $GRANT?

We are not tax attorneys and this is not tax advice. OpenGrants is making these $GRANT awards immediate, there is no vesting. This means you are immediately in receipt of equity in OpenGrants. This may create a taxable obligation. Please consult your own tax council on this matter. Here is a good resource for learning about equity awards.

Will there be a marketplace where I can sell $GRANT?

Buying / selling $GRANT in a marketplace requires a regulated 3rd party. The issue with 3rd party regulated partners is that, until recently, there were not any that supported digital assets like this.

The good news is that this has started to change and some actors now embrace DeFi and are creating DeFi-first regulated platforms which will enable you to trade directly in our platform.

Unfortunately its a bit early to say when these features will be ready because none of those DeFi-first partners have yet secured their FINRA license.
