Option 1: No additional funds will be added to the DAO. All money collected prior to the pre-sale mint will be used to buy Merge during the pre-sale period, leaving no funds available for possible use in the post-early access period and/or secondary market.
Option 2: We will continue to accept funds throughout the entirety of the mint period (48 hours) but there will be a discount rate applied to later contributors in correlation with the price of Merge NFTs. This means later contributors will get less $MRGE for their Ethereum as the price of Merge NFTs rise. To do this we may have to airdrop a new governance token to all contributors.
Option 3: We will continue to accept contributions to the DAO through the entirety of the mint period (48hrs), and those contributors will receive $MRGE tokens at the same rate as it has been thus far. The rate will stay constant at 1 eth = 985,000 $MRGE
Regarding the funds raised through options 2 or 3: Allows us to continue the pursuit of becoming the top holder and buying more Merge. Additionally, there will be more contributors to the DAO which will grow our community and foster decentralization.
