ChainCatcher message, ai16z co-founder Shaw responded to the Eliza token issuance controversy, "I coordinated with our release partners, trying to purchase chips at the time of Eliza's release, but did not acquire much. However, someone on our team did make quite a significant profit 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 sustain the Eliza team's operations."
Shaw stated that while it is unfortunate that the project was pre-released, 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, considering the interests of the holders. 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 regrettable, the team will continue to advance the project's development, ensuring the free circulation of tokens and that they are not controlled by any individual or organization.
