THE ALIGNMENT NOBODY TALKS ABOUT.
Chainlink has no equity. No IPO. No stock. No conflicting interests.
Employees? Paid in LINK.
Builders? Compensated in LINK.
Biggest whales? They work at Chainlink Labs.
Every other project sold tokens AND equity. That means two classes of investors with two different goals.
Chainlink chose one class. One token. One outcome.
