Elrond is the next project to do the IEO on Binance Launchpad. In light of this amazing news and in the spirit of transparency, some small changes needed to be done:

👉Marketing/Grants/Accelerator Pool: 8.50% — • 81,17% at the IEO, 9,41% every 6 months after IEO.

Short progress overview on the last 3 weeks at Elrond + exciting things we're focusing on next:

Short update on the rumors that are being spread

There are a few people bent on intentionally spreading false information within the community and misleading people.

It is in moments like this that the community comes together and fights the virus.

So let me clarify a few things:

1. Nothing has been changed for the Elrond terms except for lockups
2. Everything regarding this has been publically and transparently announced on medium 3 days ago:
https://medium.com/elrondnetwork/elrond-team-tokens-locked-until-2020-and-vesting-extended-to-3-5-years-eee132a68b66
3. Should any investor be unhappy with the new lockups, they have the posibility to get a refund
4. The refund will happen in the currency that the investor has contributed in. If he sent ETH, he will get ETH back
No question asked. We will take the small loss if needed
5. Most important: NO investor has requested a refund up until now. In fact, MOST investors have expressed VERY strong interest in receiving more allocation in the event that anyone cancels their investment

If you care about crypto, it's time to fight and help clean up this space. Be sure to spread this message around when you see the misleading information being shared.

Let's keep focus on the great progress achieved, and important milestones ahead. Exciting times in sight after we weather the storm.

Appreciate your support 🙏
