Scope
This Exhibit governs any secondary transfer of an Autheo validator license across all tiers: Sovereign (full node), Prime (10% fractional license), and Core (1% fractional license). It ensures the validator license registry stays accurate, the transferee is bound to the Agreement and all Exhibits, and Autheo satisfies compliance obligations.Transfer method
- Registry update required. A validator license may be transferred only through Autheo’s approved transfer workflow that updates the validator license registry.
- Token signifier. Movement of any tokenized signifier alone does not transfer operating rights. Until the registry shows the new holder, the current holder remains responsible for all obligations.
- Binding effect. Completion of the registry update binds the transferee to the Agreement and all Exhibits as of the effective transfer time.
Eligibility; KYC/OFAC
- Mandatory verification. For each transfer event, both transferor and transferee must complete identity and sanctions screening through Autheo’s designated provider (currently Blockpass).
- Prohibited users. Autheo will deny or void transfers involving prohibited persons, entities, or jurisdictions, or where verification cannot be satisfactorily completed.
Transfer admin fee
- Fee schedule. A non-refundable administrative fee is payable at submission of the transfer request, per license transferred:
- Dual-price protection. Autheo may offer a token-denominated option: US$ amounts above or 50 THEO, whichever is higher at the time of request.
- Who pays. The initiator of the transfer request pays the fee unless the parties agree otherwise between themselves.
- Purpose. The fee covers administrative processing, compliance screening, and registry updates; it is not a resale royalty or trading fee.
Waivers and reductions
- Launch liquidity. For the first 90 days after mainnet launch, Autheo may waive or reduce the fee to as low as US$50 per transfer to support healthy secondary liquidity.
- Intra-group housekeeping. Transfers among a parent and its wholly owned subsidiaries may be reduced to US50 at Autheo’s discretion upon proof of control.
- Case-by-case discretion. Autheo may waive or adjust fees to correct operational errors or facilitate security-driven rekeying.
Process and timing
- Submission. The proposed transferee connects a compatible wallet, completes KYC/OFAC, and the transferor confirms release of the license.
- Review window. Autheo targets review within 5 business days after complete materials are received; complex reviews may take longer.
- Effective time. The transfer is effective only when the registry shows the transferee as the current holder; Autheo will issue confirmation via the sale interface or email.
Technical re-provisioning
- Keys and endpoints. Where required, the transferee completes any key or endpoint re-provisioning per Autheo onboarding before operating the validator.
- Cool-down. Autheo may impose a brief cool-down to prevent double-sign risk during handover.
Restrictions
- No unauthorized splits. Sublicensing, fractionalization beyond defined tiers, or splitting license rights without Autheo’s written consent is void.
- No encumbrances without consent. Licenses may not be pledged or otherwise encumbered in a way that would transfer rights upon default without Autheo’s transfer process and approvals.
- Anti-evasion. Attempts to circumvent this Exhibit, including off-book assignments, are voidable and may result in suspension.
