Gilded, a cryptocurrency payment and accounting platform, has announced the launch of its own security token GFi, via a Continuous Security Offering (CSO). A Continuous Security Offering (CSO) is a fundraising model that enables supporters to invest at any time; the investment is made through a CAFE agreement.
A CAFE is a Continuous Agreement for Future Equity. It allows investors to make cash investments in exchange for digital tokens which, subject to applicable laws and restrictions, may be transferred or converted in connection with a specific event. A CAFE is not a debt instrument, but is intended to be an improvement over traditional convertible notes and SAFE agreements.
GFi
Gilded’s tokenized equity ($GFi) offers early access to the company’s success. With the GFi offering, the Gilded team aims to establish a fair, community-driven equity offering.
The GFi token is being launched through Fairmint, a platform that providers a full-featured stakeholder backend to run and manage CAFE offerings.

- Valuation: $5,000,000
- Initial Offering Price: $5.00 per GFi
