In our strong commitment to decentralization, we're harnessing the collective prowess of independent developer groups contributing to LAOS.
LAOS firmly believes in building its technology with the active participation and expertise of these independent groups, fully acknowledging the immeasurable value they can bring to the ecosystem. By entrusting the development efforts and possibilities to a diverse array of innovative groups, we are creating the optimal environment for LAOS to emerge as the leading solution in the dynamic NFT space.
To enable this decentralized contribution environment, LAOS has set aside 40% of its token for community incentives. These tokens will be distributed through comprehensive programs that include grants and payouts for community contributions. By focusing on community empowerment, we aim to foster a flourishing ecosystem of smart builders, ensuring that the tokens are distributed widely among those who contribute to the growth and success of LAOS.
The most prominent group in this collaboration currently is Freeverse. The company constructed the Living Asset Ecosystem, which, at launch, can seamlessly transition into LAOS. This flexible setup combines diverse developer capabilities, fostering innovation and accelerating progress in the dynamic NFT space.
As a prominent founding member of the LAOS Foundation, Freeverse will be instrumental in both initially developing and promoting LAOS. The organization has made a firm commitment to preserving LAOS' complete independence and ensuring that it is entirely community-owned and decentralized.
