Question 1

**What is Republic Note?**

Accepted Answer

Republic Note is a digital asset issued by Republic that provides holders with exposure to a portion of Republic’s investment carry in select private market deals. It is structured as a revenue-sharing instrument, enabling token holders to receive distributions when qualifying investments in Republic’s portfolio generate net profits.

The token is built to bridge private equity and retail participation by offering access to an asset class that has traditionally been limited to institutional investors. The Republic Note represents a share in the net profits Republic earns from a selection of startup, venture, and crypto investments. These profits are drawn from the carry — Republic’s share of returns — and distributed to eligible token holders.

Holders do not directly own equity in the companies invested in, but rather have rights to a portion of Republic’s realised profits across an expanding portfolio of ventures. As of 2025, Republic’s portfolio includes hundreds of startups across sectors such as fintech, consumer tech, aerospace, and crypto.

Question 2

**What is Republic Note (NOTE)?**

Accepted Answer

Republic Note (NOTE) is the native digital asset of the Republic ecosystem, functioning as a digital security that entitles holders to receive dividend distributions from Republic’s realised gains on eligible investment exits.

NOTE is used to:
- **Accrue rights to future cash distributions** from qualifying investment returns
- **Represent indirect participation** in a portfolio of startups and digital assets
- **Enable network alignment** between Republic and its user base through shared outcomes
- **Unlock community and platform benefits**, such as early access to certain offerings and investor features

The token is fixed in supply and structured as a regulated digital asset. Distribution events are triggered when Republic collects net profits (carry) on qualifying investments, and those funds are disbursed to eligible token holders proportionally.

Question 3

**What is Republic Note (NOTE) used for?**

Accepted Answer

- **Receiving profit distributions** from Republic’s share of investment returns (carry)
- **Participating in Republic’s ecosystem** as a digital asset holder with exposure to private market success
- **Accessing platform benefits**, including early deal visibility and ecosystem participation features

The asset functions more as a revenue-sharing instrument than as a utility token. It is not used for governance, staking, or service payments within a protocol but rather as a means of economic participation in Republic’s investment performance.
