Are founders or employees being compensated while token holders receive nothing?

We understand why this question is being asked, and we’d like to provide some additional context.

When CYPR was launched, the team’s token allocation was subject to a one-year cliff. Before that cliff was reached, the decision was made to wind down the protocol as part of the acquisition. As a result, the founders and team did not receive the benefit of any vested token allocation before the wind-down.

The acquisition itself is a corporate transaction involving the business, technology, and team — not the CYPR token. Team members will continue contributing in similar roles as part of Nium, helping build products within a broader global payments ecosystem, but the CYPR token is not continuing as part of that transition. We understand this may not answer every concern, but we want to be transparent about the fact that the team’s token incentives were never realized before this decision was made.
