BlockBeats news, on November 19, ai16z co-founder Shaw responded to the controversy over the Eliza token issuance: "I coordinated with our publishing partners to try to purchase chips at the time of Eliza's release, but did not get much. However, someone on our team did make quite a bit of profit and agreed to hand it over to the DAO and the team, so we have enough money to fulfill our airdrop commitments to other projects and maintain the operation of the Eliza team."
Shaw stated, "Although it is unfortunate that the project was pre-released, considering the interests of the holders, the original team has reached an agreement with the pre-release party, promising to airdrop 10% of the supply as compensation to the initial token holders. The new team will join the Eliza project as code contributors, focusing on assisting in the development of meta-narrative tools. The Eliza project has been in preparation for many years; although this incident is regrettable, the team will continue to advance the project's development, ensuring the token circulates freely and is not controlled by any individual or organization."
