Dynamic Pricing via Strata Protocol - Minimum Raise $208,000

Total Budgeting Overview

18% of the mint funds + 7.5% of our royalties will go to employing our in-house artist. 48% of the mint funds + 18% of our royalties will go towards the in-house development of all aspects of our roadmap. 17% of the mint funds + 16% of our royalties will go towards sustaining the team for a minimum of one year. 4% of the mint funds will go towards the TrustLabs launchpad in exchange for their services. 13% of the mint funds + the rest of our royalties will go towards our doxxed (via alder mage) multi-sig treasury to be used for future development, supplying a sustained amount of stock for our token store, and the production of physical items. (Disclaimer: Development, Art, & All Upfront Hiring Fees have been paid prior to mint and have been covered by the founders treasury. This ensures art and development has been in progress months before mint. The upfronts and development costs that are excluded from this budget total a pre-mint value of roughly 35,000-40,000$ USD)

In-House Artist Fees - 18% (7.5% Royalties)

18% of our mint and 7.5% of our royalties, (conditional upon continued in-house employment) will go towards paying for in-house art services for the duration leading up to mint and 3 months post-mint guaranteed. Services will include Collection Art, Logo Art, Individual Illustrations, Website Art, Future Trait Collections, Collaborative Trait pieces, and any & all encompassing art requests. We believe this is a more than fair valuation. SharkArtack has been working on our art Four Months prior to mint and will be working for at least 3 months post-mint to provide a wide release schedule of traits as well as supplementary art for our various utilities and landing pages. We believe that long-term relationships lead to efficient drops and smooth workflows - a 7.5% royalty ensures the potential for a beneficial relationship long term.

In-House Development Fees - 48% (18% Royalties)

48% of our mint and 18% of our royalties will go towards paying for the full development of our Roadmap V1, major turnkey solutions, continuous support, updates, and strategic deployment advisory. The Development team will also be partnering with BVDCAT to create BVDLABS, a sub-division of BVDCAT focused on creating revolutionary software and marketing that software as a service. We believe covering the full costs of our development up-front, and having it all performed by a practiced and professional in-house team, plays a big part in creating and innovating from a technological standpoint. By choosing a full-stack team, we allow ourselves an avenue into future development whilst also assuring a close relationship with all technological aspects of our project. An 18% royalty ensures updates to our technology (speed, function, optimization), endless support, technical strategy, and all tech related product deployment advisory. We believe that creating a working product isn't the end of our job. We want our users to feel refreshed by constant QoL updates and functionality adjustments that fit the changes and evolutions that come with the Solana Blockchain.

Core Team + Auxiliary Team Salary (1 Year) - 17% (16% Royalties)

17% of our mint and 16% of our royalties will go towards ensuring employment for 2 full-time core founders, 2 part-time core founder, multiple moderators, multiple collaboration managers, and general staffing for 1-Year Post-Mint. Team Funds will be distributed WEEKLY, after an initial minting distribution of 10% salary upfront to ensure constant activity and contribution to the project. The full-time founders will be covering every aspect of the business operations post-mint. We will also be incorporating milestone bonuses for our core team. Each Full-Time Core Founder will receive - 4% of mint + 5% of royalties. Full-Time Bonus - $300 USD per 5,000 Sol Volume

Each Part-Time Core Founder will receive - 2.5% of mint + 3% of royalties. Part-Time Bonus - $200 USD per 5,000 Sol Volume

This wages are calculated to be well below minimum-wage if we do not pass at least 60k Volume yearly. We firmly believe that our time will come when BVDCAT reaches the FP it deserves. The mint revenue will be used to employ full staffing for one year including full-time and part-time employees as well as general staffing. Our team considers daily check-ins, meaningful contribution, and 4-6 hours of daily workflow contribution to be full-time employment. All core founders have agreed to this salary basis with opportunity for growth from our royalty %.

This also means $15,000~ USD + royalties will go towards general staffing for 1 year. General staffing may include but is not limited to; basic moderation, collaboration management, whitelist outreach, management assistance, and more.

We believe, by guaranteeing employment with a modest but exponentially beneficial model, we can achieve an environment that rewards going above-and-beyond. Full staffing allows teams to work on long-scale projects simultaneously whilst also possessing the manpower to build multifaceted operations. Each founder has played a key role in the projects development and has clear skillsets well suited to the BVDCAT brand.

Future Development / Capital Reserves - 13% (58.5% Royalties)

13% of our mint and 66.5% of our royalties will go towards our treasury to ensure future development of the project, sustained stock for our token store, and the production of 'phygital' items.

A certain amount of this funding may be placed in a capital reserve to be grown via speculative trading. We believe the additional % of our initial raise will ensure the longevity of the project as well as its ability to adapt to the needs of the market. We are creating a product with a solid base utility, incredible art and branding, and a great monetization method but businesses evolve and adapt and BVDCAT is designed to continue to be one step ahead of that process.

Trust Labs Launchpad - 4% (No Royalties)

4% of our mint will immediately be given to the Trust Labs team for supporting our launch via their launchpad and marketing services. Trust Labs has no shortage of reputable names and we believe their established experience across the market will help take BVDCAT to the next level.
