Token Side Letter

Eligible investors may receive a separate token side letter providing contingent participation rights in a future designated Mālama network token (MLMA), if and when launched. Subject to applicable law, completion of Beneficial Technology Howey test analysis, compliance procedures, vesting, lockups, transfer restrictions, and final launch structure. This is not a present token sale and confers no current rights to MLMA. Regulatory classification of MLMA is subject to ongoing legal review.

Not a present token sale · Howey analysis in progress · Subject to regulatory clarity per jurisdiction
Closing Structure

Rolling closes. Pro-rata rights reserved for seed investors. Three-to-five year target hold period. Series A trigger: 20+ live projects with recurring MRV revenue.

Tokenomics Discipline

Scheduled emissions stop after Year 3.

Mālama's MLMA model uses token issuance only as a limited bootstrap mechanism. Scheduled emissions are constrained to the cold-start period and end entirely after Year 3. Years 4 and 5 are modeled as revenue-funded, not emission-funded. Many DePIN protocols depend indefinitely on inflation. Mālama is designed not to.

The 500M MLMA hard cap is enforced on-chain. Emergency issuance beyond this cap is not a governance option — it would require a new smart contract deployment and separate investor consent. This is a deliberate design choice to make the model legible and stress-testable for institutional readers.

Revenue-funded · base case
Revenue figures above reflect the confirmed 5-stream operating model (carbon verification, energy-market data, parametric insurance, LCO₂ settlement, prediction market data, MRAA-01 SaaS). The investor deck contains a broader 9-market total addressable opportunity model with higher outer-year figures. These represent different analytical frames: the table above is the near-term confirmed operating forecast; the deck model is the longer-horizon TAM capture scenario. All figures are internal estimates, not audited projections.
Financial Model

Year 5 revenue by stream (confirmed operating model).

The table below reflects the confirmed 5-stream + MRAA-01 revenue model. Conservative case assumes 40% of addressable volume. Base case assumes 60–70%. All figures in USD. Internal operating plan, not an audited projection.

Year 5 base case
Note: Conservative case (~40% volume): ~$14M Year 5. Base case (~60–70%): $34.44M. The investor deck contains a broader 9-market TAM model covering supply chain, smart agriculture, real estate, and commodity verification with higher outer-year figures. Request the deck to review both models side by side.

All revenue projections are internal estimates based on modeled assumptions about market penetration, product deployment, and pricing. Actual results may differ materially. The company is pre-revenue as of April 2026.
