Succession & Governance

The Founder's Will
A Public Record

This page summarizes — in redacted form — the key succession provisions the founder has committed to in writing. The specific individuals named (Shamir holders, initial board members, Pledge Officers) are not disclosed here. The architecture is.

Document Status: Committed Will provisions locked 2026-05-15. Awaiting notarization at the $200K revenue gate.
Pre-departure status: DORMANT — Governance has not activated. The founder operates Veast under full authority. This document exists so that if activation ever occurs, its mechanics are already public and verifiable.
Purpose

Why This Is Public

Veast is built to outlast its builder. A governance architecture that lives only in a sealed document and activates only at death is opaque by design — and opacity is the opposite of transmission. Publishing the structure during the founder's lifetime means every user, every coach, and every $VEAST holder can verify that the system they are building their practice on will endure. The Pledge continues. The inviolable commitments hold. The mission does not change ownership. This page is proof that those are not promises — they are architecture.


What This Document Contains

Key Provisions — Redacted Summary

Provision 01
Foundation Designation
All Veast intellectual property — including the platform codebase, the Veast name and trademarks, the Convergence Portal logo system, the VEAST-CONSTITUTION.md, and the Pledge mandate — transfers to the Veast Foundation upon activation. The Foundation is the perpetual non-profit entity that holds these assets in trust for the mission, not for shareholders.
Provision 02
Cryptographic Key Succession
The founder's primary Solana signing key is protected by a 3-of-5 Shamir Secret Sharing scheme. Five share holders are named in this will. Any three of the five are sufficient to reconstruct the key. On activation, the Foundation lawyer-trustee releases their share to the designated successor, who coordinates reconstruction. The reconstructed key migrates to a 3-of-5 Squads multi-sig; the original is permanently retired.
Provision 03
Foundation Board Appointment
Five initial Foundation board members are named in this will. Their identities are not disclosed publicly until activation — at which point the lawyer-trustee publishes their names alongside the activation notice. Board members serve 4-year staggered terms. Subsequent elections are conducted by $VEAST stake-weighted governance vote.
Provision 04
Pledge Officers
A pool of Pledge Officers is named in this will. Pledge Officers continue the founder's tradition of traveling to partner charity sites and distributing aid in person. Officers are published at the time of their appointment. Subsequent Officers are appointed by Foundation board resolution. The Pledge disbursement itself is automated on-chain and cannot be suspended by any person or vote.
Provision 05
The Vegan Beast Persona
The Vegan Beast is not a person — it is a transmission archetype. After the founder's departure, the persona retires from front-of-camera. No human ever "becomes" Vegan Beast. Future Veast content bearing the Vegan Beast voice is signed "Veast" or "Veast Council" — it is never personified. The locked voice rules (CLAUDE.md §2) bind all future content in perpetuity.
Provision 06
Credential Transfer
The will includes a complete inventory of all platform credentials — Supabase, App Store, Play Store, Stripe, domain registrar, GitHub, social accounts — and the designated recipient for each. Transfers are executed during the 90-day caretaker period by the Foundation lawyer-trustee and board. No credential expires or becomes inaccessible on activation.

What Can Never Change

The Inviolable Commitments

These provisions cannot be amended, suspended, or overridden by any governance vote, Foundation board action, or court order. They are encoded in the VEAST-CONSTITUTION.md and enforced by the Foundation lawyer-trustee at law.

Token Supply. The $VEAST supply is fixed at 8,888,888,888 forever. The mint authority has been irrevocably revoked on-chain. No additional tokens can ever be issued.
The Pledge Structure. 20% of Veast's net annual income is disbursed quarterly across five fixed slices: Humanitarian Aid (3.75%), Animal Rescue (3.75%), Reforestation (3.75%), Consciousness Research (3.75%), and Foundation Perpetuation (5.00%). The percentages and categories are immutable.
The Three-Persona Architecture. Amir (private person), Vegan Beast (transmission archetype), and The Character (acting craft) are distinct and will never be conflated in any Veast product, content, or communication.
The Fifteen Planes. Sovereign · Fascia · Muscular · Circulatory · Skeletal · Visceral · Neural · Cellular · Etheric · Chakra · Presence · Elemental · Shadow · Transmission · Rishi — in this order, with these names, forever.
Mission as Transmission. Veast is a transmission system for human evolution. No governance vote may convert it to conventional marketing, manufactured urgency, or conversion-optimization mechanics that exploit psychological vulnerability.
Foundation Perpetual Existence. The Veast Foundation shall exist for as long as Veast operates. It cannot be dissolved while any Pledge obligation is outstanding or while $VEAST tokens remain in circulation.

After Departure

How Governance Activates

Day 0
Activation trigger confirmed — death certificate, medical incapacity declaration (30+ days, 2 physicians), or voluntary signed handoff. The Foundation lawyer-trustee independently verifies and notifies all $VEAST holders within 7 days.
Days 1 – 14
Shamir reconstruction — lawyer-trustee releases their share; designated successor combines it with any 2 of the remaining 4 shares to reconstruct the signing key. New 3-of-5 Squads multi-sig goes live. Foundation board convenes.
Days 14 – 90
Caretaker period — Foundation board operates Veast on existing rules. No strategic pivots. Pledge continues uninterrupted. All platform credentials transferred to Foundation custody. Quarterly disbursement schedule confirmed with partner charities.
Day 91
Stake-weighted governance fully activates. First vote: Foundation board confirmation. From this point, major decisions on amendable provisions go to $VEAST holder vote. Inviolable provisions remain permanently beyond the reach of any vote.
Every Year
Annual constitutional review (September 18). Annual Pledge disbursement cycle. Annual Pledge Officer site visits published at veast.life/pledge. Governance continues across generations.

The Pledge

The Pledge Continues

The Pledge is not personal philanthropy. It is constitutional architecture. It is automated on-chain and disbursed quarterly regardless of who leads Veast. Every disbursement is published with evidence — transaction hashes, CRA receipts, and Pledge Officer field reports — at the link below. This was true during the founder's life. It will be true after.


On Redaction: The full will names specific individuals across all successor roles — Shamir share holders, initial Foundation board members, Pledge Officers, and technical advisors. Those names are not published here to protect their privacy and security before activation. At the moment of activation, the Foundation lawyer-trustee publishes the full list alongside the activation notice. The architecture is public now so the activation is not a surprise to anyone. The identities are private now so no one can game the succession before it is needed.
