The Value Calculation
What You Pay
| Item | Amount |
|---|---|
| Sponsorship | 5,000 dollars |
| Total | 5,000 dollars |
What You Receive Immediately
| Item | Value | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| 5,000 Joules | 5,000 dollars equivalent | Immediate, locked rate |
| 5,000 Reserved Joules | 5,000 dollars equivalent | Apply at YOUR discretion |
| 50 Medallions | 5,000 dollars face value | 100 dollars each, distribute as you wish |
| IP License | Incalculable | Perpetual use of chosen patents |
| Recognition | Social capital | Named Founding Sponsor |
Total Immediate Value: 15,000+ dollars equivalent
The Future Value Projection
Conservative Growth Scenario (50% platform growth)
| Item | At Purchase | After 50% Growth |
|---|---|---|
| 5,000 Joules | 5,000 dollars | 7,500 dollars service value |
| 5,000 Reserved | 5,000 dollars | 7,500 dollars service value |
| 50 Medallions | Distributed | Each holder now has 150 dollar value |
| IP License | Access | Same perpetual access |
Your 5,000 dollars → 15,000+ dollars service value
Aggressive Growth Scenario (200% platform growth)
| Item | At Purchase | After 200% Growth |
|---|---|---|
| 5,000 Joules | 5,000 dollars | 15,000 dollars service value |
| 5,000 Reserved | 5,000 dollars | 15,000 dollars service value |
Your 5,000 dollars → 30,000+ dollars service value
Why Reserved Joules Matter
The Problem (Without Reserved)
You get 5,000 Joules. Platform grows. Your Joules are worth more — but you already spent them.
The Solution (With Reserved)
You get 5,000 Joules PLUS 5,000 Reserved.
- Spend the 5,000 Joules now if you need to
- Hold the Reserved Joules until platform grows
- Convert Reserved → Active when optimal
- You choose when to unlock the value
King David Principle
“I will not offer that which costs me nothing.” — 2 Samuel 24:24
We’re not giving you fake 2x bonuses. We’re giving you REAL Joules (5,000) plus the OPTION to convert more later (5,000 Reserved). Both cost us real platform value. This is genuine generosity, not marketing gimmicks.
The IP License Value
What You Actually Get
NOT: “Fractional patent ownership” (SEC issues) YES: “Perpetual, non-exclusive license to use the IP”
What That Means
| Right | Included |
|---|---|
| Use in your own projects | ✅ Yes |
| Reference in your work | ✅ Yes |
| Build derivative works | ✅ Yes (with attribution) |
| Prevent others from using | ❌ No (non-exclusive) |
| Sell the license | ❌ No (non-transferable) |
| Sue for infringement | ❌ No (that’s our job) |
The Patent Portfolio
Our portfolio currently contains 1,000+ documented innovations across:
- Platform economics
- AI context management
- Governance systems
- Quality assurance
- Privacy architecture
- Distributed manufacturing
- Service platforms
You choose which patent bag your license covers.
Can You Say “Utility Patent”?
Correct language:
“Your sponsorship includes a perpetual license to innovations in our utility patent portfolio.”
Incorrect language:
“Your sponsorship gives you a utility patent.” ❌
You’re licensing access, not receiving ownership.
Patent Sharing Agreement Protection
Current Structure
| Entity | Role |
|---|---|
| Upekrithen, LLC | Owns the patents |
| Liana Banyan Corporation | Licensed to use patents |
| Founder (Jonathan Jones) | Controls Upekrithen |
What Protects LB Users?
Current protections:
- Licensing agreement — LB has perpetual license to use
- Sharing agreement — Per provisional filings
- Structural dependency — LB operations require the IP
What’s NOT protected:
- Founder could theoretically sell Upekrithen
- Patents could be sold to third party
- LB would need to renegotiate
Recommended Protection (For Legal Review)
To truly protect LB users, consider:
- Irrevocable license — Cannot be rescinded
- Change of control provision — If Upekrithen sells, license survives
- Member benefit clause — License extends to qualifying members
- Founder commitment — Documented public commitment not to sell
PAWN should review this structure for legal soundness.

NEW: All Sponsors Get Joules
Rule: Every Credit purchased for sponsorship is a Joule.
| Sponsorship Amount | Credits Purchased | Joules Received |
|---|---|---|
| 100 dollars (medallion) | 100 Credits | 100 Joules |
| 1,000 dollars (10 medallions) | 1,000 Credits | 1,000 Joules |
| 5,000 dollars (50 medallions) | 5,000 Credits | 5,000 Joules |
Rationale: Sponsors are investing in the platform’s future. They deserve Forever Stamp protection on every dollar.
Reserved Joule System
What We Call It
The “Stake Account” holds reserved Joules. But for SPONSOR reserves, we need a distinct term:
Proposal: “Joule Option Reserve” or “JOR”
A Joule Option Reserve is:
- Joules you HAVE but haven’t activated
- Convert to Active Joules at your discretion
- Value locked at time of earning
- No expiration
Solvency
Joule Options cost LB the same as Active Joules — we’re just deferring WHEN you use them. No additional cost to the platform.

SEC Compliance: Equivalent Value Language
Can You Quote Future Value?
YES, with careful language:
Correct:
“If the platform economy grows 50%, your Joules — which currently access 5,000 dollars of services — would access the equivalent of 7,500 dollars of services at that time.”
Incorrect:
“Your 5,000 dollars will be worth 7,500 dollars.” ❌
The Key Distinction
| Statement | SEC Issue |
|---|---|
| “Your Joules access 5,000 dollars of services” | ✅ True — service credit |
| “Platform may grow, increasing service value” | ✅ True — general statement |
| “If growth is 50%, equivalent to 7,500 dollars” | ✅ True — conditional math |
| “You will make 2,500 dollars profit” | ❌ Securities language |
| “Guaranteed 50% return” | ❌ Investment language |
International Application
Joules are service credits. Their value is defined by PLATFORM SERVICE RATES, not currency exchange.
“Your 5,000 Joules access 5,000 Credits worth of services. If you’re in Canada, that’s the Canadian equivalent. If you’re in Spain, that’s the Spanish equivalent. The Joules stay the same; the local currency equivalent changes with exchange rates.”
