## Quote — verbatim

> Starbonds are designed to reward early participants up to 6.4 times return on investment in high demand scenarios, only 25% principal at risk in low demand cases. The internal rate of return increases with early tier discounts, from 36.7% to 44.8%... This isn't speculative crypto. These are productive digital assets tied to real-world AI infrastructure powering actual AI workloads.

## Context — site annotation, not spoken

Launch of the Starbond funding model — first issuance "Star Cluster Alpha," ~75,000 bonds at $1,000 par; discounts for stakers of 100+ AKT. Quantified return projections.
