ai16z co-founder: Someone in the team has indeed made a significant profit and has agreed to hand it over to the DAO and the team

ChainCatcher message, ai16z co-founder Shaw posted a response to the Eliza token issuance controversy, "I coordinated with our release partners to try to purchase chips at the time of Eliza's release, but did not get much. However, someone on our team did manage to gain quite a bit and agreed to hand it over to the DAO and the team, so we have enough funds to fulfill our airdrop commitments to other projects and maintain the operation of the Eliza team."

Shaw stated that while it is regrettable that the project was pre-released, considering the interests of the holders, the original team has reached a cooperation agreement with the pre-release party, promising to airdrop 10% of the supply to the initial token holders as compensation. The new team will join the Eliza project as code contributors, focusing on assisting in the development of meta-narrative tools. Shaw emphasized that the Eliza project has been in preparation for many years, and although this incident is unfortunate, the team will continue to advance the project's development, ensuring that the tokens circulate freely and are not controlled by any individual or organization.
