Wyoming Statutory Foundation · Sprint AG · Est. at $100K Revenue

Veast
Foundation

The perpetual steward of the Veast mission — holding IP, trademarks, the Constitutional document, and the Pledge mandate long after any single implementation ends.

CENTURIES
NOT
CYCLES

PRE-FORMATION — The Veast Foundation forms at the $100K revenue trigger per CLAUDE.md §15.4. Until then, Veast X LTD holds all IP in trust for the eventual Foundation. Trademark filings already reference the planned Foundation assignment. The Constitutional document is already live at veast.life/founder-will.


What We Are

A purpose-built
perpetual entity

Veast Foundation is a Wyoming Statutory Foundation (Wyoming Stat. Ann. § 17-32) — a purpose trust, not a traditional non-profit. Wyoming's crypto-friendly statutes recognize digital-asset holdings and purpose-driven perpetual entities. The Foundation cannot be dissolved while a single $VEAST token exists in any wallet.

Trademarks

VEAST, VEGAN BEAST, and the Convergence Portal logo transfer to the Foundation at formation — providing a stable registrant across generations of operating companies.

Constitutional Document

The Veast Constitution is owned by the Foundation post-formation. Its inviolable provisions cannot be amended by any vote — not even unanimous. They are the fixed points of the universe.

Pledge Mandate

The 20% Pledge obligation — across 5 locked slices — is the Foundation's primary fiduciary duty. All other Foundation activities are subordinate to Pledge execution.

Open Protocol

The Veast Protocol — governance mechanics, vote-staking, pledge automation — is open-sourced under Apache 2.0. Any successor implementation can fork it. Patent grant included.


Open Protocol

Apache 2.0.
Forkable by design.

The protocol mechanics are open. The implementation is not. This distinction is intentional — the soul of the system must be public and forkable across centuries. The specific body it runs in at any moment is proprietary.

Funding Model

Funded by
the Pledge itself

There is no endowment. No one-time grant. The Foundation exists only as long as Veast generates revenue — the 5% Foundation Perpetuation slice of the Pledge funds operations. This aligns Foundation continuity with platform continuity.

Foundation
Perpetuation

Total: 20% of net annual income. The 5% Foundation slice accumulates toward a 12-month operating buffer. When the buffer is full, surplus returns to the humanitarian categories at the next quarterly disbursement.


Governance

Five seats.
Stake-weighted votes.

The Foundation board consists of exactly five directors with staggered 4-year terms. Post-departure governance runs on stake-weighted $VEAST token voting — longer locks earn proportionally higher weight. Some provisions cannot be amended by any vote.
