The market for the world’s largest asset class
We’re building the market for an asset class that already exists.
Preflop tokens pay you while you wait, and turn your early conviction in someone’s trajectory into a permanent share in their success.
People already invest in other people. The asset class exists. What’s missing is a standardized, liquid market on the underlying trajectory. That’s what Preflop is building.

Phase 1 · Income-linked dividend
Uncapped, fixed-term. Pays you while the perpetuity converges.
Issuer pays s% of Total Economic Benefit each quarter. Salary, bonuses, equity realizations, royalties: everything their labour creates. No cap. The structural break from prior 2–3× ISA ceilings. Tokens locked pre-IPO.
Person Token: a permanent share in the trajectory
Tokens convert to a perpetual e%claim on the issuer’s economic trajectory. The token follows their work across every role and pivot. Distribution, liquidation, and anti-dilution rights, enforced through a Primary Economic Entity. Never expires.
Issue
Issuer sets four terms: principal, dividend rate, dividend duration, perpetuity stake. Covenant deploys on-chain as a two-phase contract.
Fund
Backers allocate capital and receive locked pre-IPO tokens from a fixed supply of 10,000.
Earn
Phase 1 dividends flow uncapped. Token unlocks at IPO and starts trading as conviction data accumulates.
Convert
At year T the token converts to a Person Token: a perpetual e% claim on the issuer's economic trajectory, carried across every role and pivot they take on. Distribution, liquidation, anti-dilution rights. Trades forever.
