Flying Tulip | FAQ ▫️ Why should I invest in Flying Tulip at a $1B valuation? The FDV depends on the volume of investments raised. You're not investing at a $1B valuation, but at a fixed price of 1 FT = $0.1. The final FDV depends on the total amount raised. → For example, if the project raises $200M, the FDV will be $200M. The project is capped at a hard cap of $1B = 10B FT. ▫️ How do I participate in the Public Sale? → Go to the platform: https://t.co/JpmQY2q84r → Complete KYC (takes about 5 minutes) → Invest any amount Official support chat: https://t.co/66jx6ioV2s ▫️ When does the Public Sale end? The sale on Impossible will run until February 16th inclusive. ▫️ How does the purchase work and what exactly do I receive? After purchase, the FT received is issued in the form of a Perpetual PUT, represented on-chain through your FT NFT (ftPUT). Perpetual PUT is a perpetual on-chain right attached to FT obtained during the initial placement, which gives the holder three options: 1. Hold - keep the PUT open (FT remains inside the NFT). You do nothing. You preserve your right to exit at face value while remaining a participant in potential FT price growth. 2. Exit - exit at face value, return collateral. This means you exchange FT back for the same asset and in the same volume that you initially deposited. Example: 10,000 FT ↔ 1,000 USDT 3. Withdraw - unlock FT from PUT. This means the PUT for this portion of the position is cancelled. The assets backing your position are released. The released capital is used by the protocol for FT buyback-and-burn from the open market. After Withdraw, your FT becomes fully free: you can hold, trade, or transfer tokens anywhere. ▫️ Can you explain in simple terms and provide examples? Step 1. What happens when you invest? You invest 100 USDT → receive 1000 FT tokens. Instead of receiving FT directly, you receive a special NFT called ftPUT. The NFT contains your 1000 FT, the right to return the deposited stablecoins, and a record of your 100 USDT investment. In short, your FT and protection are inside one NFT. Step 2. Now you have an NFT. What can you do? There are several options, let's go through them in order. Option 1: Lock in profit if the price rises. Let's say FT rises to $0.20 (2x). Your 1000 FT = 200 USDT. You can withdraw FT from the NFT and sell them on the market, locking in profit. You don't have to sell everything - you can withdraw only part of the FT and preserve the Perpetual PUT on the remaining portion. Option 2: Get your money back if the price falls. Let's say FT falls to $0.05 (-50%). Normally you would lose money. But here you can burn the NFT and get back your 100 USDT. As a result, you invested 100 USDT and received back 100 USDT. Option 3: Wait and do nothing. You can simply hold the NFT waiting for potential profit. The option is perpetual, and you retain your FT tokens and downside protection. You can make a decision later, without market pressure. Option 4: Instead of selling FT, you can sell the NFT on the marketplace. Why would someone buy it? → Because the NFT is FT with built-in Perpetual PUT protection, so it's more valuable than regular FT. → If the FT price rises, the NFT sells at a premium - the protection remains. → If the FT price falls, the NFT also sells well because the protection doesn't go anywhere. ▫️ How do I sell my NFT or get back my invested funds?

The team earns their allocation only when the protocol generates real revenue from its products, not just earning yield from deploying others' capital. Thus, the team is incentivized to build working products, not just keep investor capital in staking. Let's now understand how the mechanics work: Yield = income from deploying investor capital in DeFi (staking, lending strategies) → does not trigger token unlock for the team. Part of this income goes to buying back tokens from the market for subsequent burning, and another part goes to operational expenses. Revenue = income from Flying Tulip products (trading fees, protocol products: lending, ftUSD, etc.) → triggers unlock. When buyback is funded specifically by protocol revenue, then unlock occurs in a 40:40:20 ratio. 40% → Foundation 40% → Team 20% → Incentives How this works technically When the protocol does a revenue-funded buyback, that is: Buys FT from the market → burns them → unlocks the same amount in a 1:1 proportion. The 1:1 proportion means that for every $1 of revenue from Flying Tulip products directed to buyback and burn, an equivalent of $1 in tokens is unlocked for three categories: Foundation, Team, Incentives. Crucially, the protocol assigns the right to receive tokens through future buybacks, rather than unlocking them from some reserve. ▫️ Why isn't Flying Tulip planning to list on centralized exchanges? The project isn't building a model around centralized exchange listings. The protocol creates its own trading infrastructure where primary liquidity is formed and price discovery occurs. The FT token from the initial placement is tied to the Perpetual PUT mechanism, so its economics differ from classic tokens that immediately go to CEX listing. Additionally, the FT price is formed through the internal market and buyback mechanics: the protocol directs revenue to token buyback and burn. Liquidity is created within the ecosystem, not through external market makers. The project doesn't exclude listings in the future, but the current focus is on developing proprietary infrastructure and products. ▫️ When is the FT token TGE scheduled? The TGE date hasn't been announced yet, but your funds are already working and forming a reserve fund for token buyback and burn.
