## Quote — verbatim

> We introduce the Starbonds, a digital asset that represents fractional ownership of compute... You reserve a Starbond. A node keeper provisions and operates the hardware. You receive a share of the revenue generated by the node. Transparent, on-chain, and aligned from day one. This isn't just capital formation. It's capital democratization.
