.@ljharb's $NVM token funds are being locked while he figures out a sustainable contributor model instead of rushing hype...
NVM launched five days ago, he's already collected the best community ideas like using fees to buy tokens and pay contributors, or to set up priority support access for stakers.
He also shares that he locked 10M tokens and now roughly 60% of his purchased tokens are now locked until mid-September.
lots of listening comprehension issues in some folks watching that live stream :-)
i'm not abandoning anything, not relaunching anything as long as the token survives, and anything i do will be doing my utmost to protect token holders.
