The Project and the Tokens are currently under development and may undergo significant changes before release. Your expectations regarding the form and functionality of the Project and Tokens may not be met upon release of the Project and Tokens, additional products and services for any number of reasons, including a change in the design and implementation plans and execution of the implementation of the Tokens.
