Simple Agreement for Future Tokens (SAFT)

A SAFT allows a blockchain company to raise capital from accredited investors before its network launches. This template is structured for the Canadian regulatory environment: it incorporates the accredited investor exemption under National Instrument 45-106, includes FINTRAC/AML representations, and references CSA guidance on crypto-asset securities. Use it as a starting point — securities law counsel review is strongly recommended before distribution.
