Question: Why wait to release the TRADE token? Many other protocols have released their tokens without SEC approval?

A: It's true that as described the token would pass the Howie test (SEC's standard for deciding if something is a security). But as it stands, the Howie test doesn't make a lot of sense for crypto--we believe a lot of tokens released should be considered securities. We would prefer to protect our investors from risk posed by the SEC; we would rather do things the right way than the easy way.

Question: How does Tetrad Protocol protect me from counterparty risk?

A: The majority of people trading crypto don't do it for a living. Even for those who do it for a living, there isn't enough time in the day for an individual investor to keep up with ALL the industry changes in order to stay safe. We've put a lot of focus on our team in discussing the protocol because that's what is protecting you from counterparty risk: having a team of people who are intimately familiar with crypto, who research it on a daily basis and who have a broad range of different skills that a singular person just wouldn't have. For this reason, we believe we can do a better job protecting the individual investor's funds from counterparty risk.
