Where exactly is your team headquarters?

The company is truly international. We have a house in Tahiti but just about everything is done online. Meetings are done via Zoom. Coordination done through Basecamp and other tools. The Founders live all over the world.

The hope is that once the legislation passes this summer we will establish a land base on the chosen atoll for preliminary building and housing for future construction workers.

the project is really awesome! cant wait to see the actual construction of these floating islands. this has a lot of strategic partners already so maybe we will witness the creation of this kind of community in the very near future

Distribution
4-28%*   Public sale
7-8%   Presale
5-6%   Blue Frontiers seed funders
10-15%   Blue Frontiers team
45-72%   Seastead/SeaZone Construction, Development, Administration

* The amount of Varyon (VAR) allotted to seastead/SeaZone Construction, Development, Administration is inversely correlated with the amount purchased in the public sale. That is, the more Varyon (VAR) sold in the public sale, the less Varyon (VAR) held for seastead/SeaZone Construction, Development, Administration.

Blue Frontiers plans to prototype the first seastead with funds raised from the Varyon (VAR) Crowdsale, and to fund additional seasteads through sales. The Varyon (VAR) Blue Frontiers holds for seastead and SeaZone Construction, Development, and Administration will be used only as needed, in order to create seasteads and SeaZones and to strengthen the ecosystem of products and services available to Varyon (VAR) holders.

Who are those Blue Frontiers seed funders?

They did an early seed funding round last year to get things going, pay for environmental and economic impact studies, design work, lawyers, consulting, etc.

Most seed funders were friends and family of the founders, as well as the founders putting their own money in. A few bitcoin folks who were known seasteading supporters put in some money, including myself. No big names that most people have heard of.

Yeah its important to get those early investors and supporters,to get the project going.

Here's a short interview at the TechInAsia conference with one of Blue Frontiers' advisors, Dorjee Sun, talking about sea level rise and seasteading.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8WdPu5bNIEE

Keep sharing those interviews, it's nice to see people in the team and hear more about the project and how people from the team go about it.Is that girl your PR, the one conducting the interview?

No, Bitcoin Girl Thailand isn't Blue Frontiers' PR girl. She just loves Bitcoin and loves this project so she promotes it a lot. She also joined the bounty program to get a few VAR out of promoting it.

Our head of marketing is Laurel Tincher and our seavangalesse is Nathalie Mezza Garcia

I believe it is a bit early since the sale is not done yet and you will have to do it with VAR exclusively.Though that would be nice if we could do it right after the sale and help the project that way.

Hello,

 i am supporting this project and i believe in it, because it has good reviews from the team of Zencash, another trustworthy and reliable project on the go.


Good luck!

Yes, we love ZenCash at Blue Frontiers. Mainly due to Robert Viglione coming to the seasteading conference last year and being a genuinely nice guy who believes in the tech.

I hope that the expertise with that team can contribute to some blockchain advances on the seastead and somehow integrate easily with varyon.

Nice to see that cooperations in crypto related to this project are already sprouting in such an early stage and ZenCash is trustworthy project also.

This is indeed a very good sign that there are serious people who are interested in this project and will back it. We are investing one eth with my wife, I wish we had more to invest but unfortunately the bear market has left us in tatters but I will support and promote the project as much as we can and get more awareness to it also. One billion tokens total supply is very good as well because VAR will be the only token to be used by Blue Frontiers so more sea steads get built the value should increase as the demand for the token will rise all the time as more people want to use it. This may be your next 100 x project you are looking for..

I also cant invest much,but for sure i can spread awareness about this project,and  i will help as much as i can!

Is there a place where we can check the progress of the sale?How much has been sold?

They are working on putting a ticker on the website.

Last count was 1250 ETH (equivalent).

And what is the soft cap,in ETH?

4000 ETH

That seems somehow low for this kind of project.There will be more sale stages later,if needed?
