+First founding engineer hire following MetaDAO's Fundraise #2 strategy to build core team in San Francisco. Compensation structure mirrors co-founder terms, establishing precedent for performance-based token unlocks tied to protocol value rather than time-based vesting. The 4-year cliff before any token unlocks signals long-term commitment requirements for core team members.
