Slicing Pie: FAIRFLAI equity is earned by working
None of us bought shares at the start. Every slice of FAIRFLAI was earned through work, sales and capital, recorded month by month and open to everyone. Here you'll find the rules, the story and the numbers.

Kopernicana's share from 31 Dec 2026
Every contribution becomes a slice
Whoever works, sells or invests records their contribution in euros. The value is multiplied by a coefficient that weighs the risk taken, and the result is tokens.
Each person's share is their weight in the total tokens, applied to 95% of the equity. The remaining 5% always stays with Kopernicana, the company FAIRFLAI was born inside. Until the trigger fires, shares move every month.
| Contribution | Multiplier |
|---|---|
| Capital paid in | ×2 |
| Sales fee on value sold | ×2 |
| Unpaid billable work | ×1.5 |
| Waived revenue sharing | ×1.5 |
| Non-billable time | ×1 |
| Other assets (licenses, intellectual property) | ×0.5 |
Eighteen months to build a company
We wrote the rules while playing the game. One at a time, in the open.
- April 2025
FAIRFLAI is born
A bootstrap micro-enterprise inside Kopernicana: no starting shares, equity only vests at the trigger, based on what each person contributes.
- 1 October 2025
The first circle
The FAIRFLAI circle is created on Nestr, and from that day every rule is written down and open to consult. Revenue sharing starts: whoever waives their monthly pay turns it into tokens.
- Dec 2025 · Mar 2026
The rules of the game
One policy at a time. 1% of every project's revenue to those fighting the digital divide. Quotes agreed with the people who will do the work. The Slicing Pie, and a billing cap tied to cash. Small investments made autonomously. Extraordinary decisions, and a base rate declared by each person.
- 31 March 2026
Square-root voting
On extraordinary decisions each partner weighs the square root of their share: four times the share means twice the weight. It protects minorities and those who join later. In April Kopernicana extends the principle to the whole system, unanimously.
- June · July 2026
The trigger
The rule that decides when the pie stops is rewritten three times before it fires. The final version measures orders per full-time person. In July the threshold is passed.
- 1 August 2026
Baking
After fifteen months the shares are frozen.
- Sep · Oct 2026
What comes after
Baking doesn't close everything. Projects already under way finish contributing to the first pie. On 1 October the second one starts: only time on assignments approved before they begin counts. Rules arrive on value distribution, internal projects and pay for roles.
- 27 October 2026
FAIRFLAI S.r.l. Società Benefit
We sign the articles of incorporation. The common-benefit purposes enter the bylaws.
- 31 December 2026
Kopernicana at 51%
Kopernicana exercises the call option set out in the policy and rises to 51%. The other partners give up shares in proportion to their holdings.
When the pie stops
We count the orders for projects opened in the rolling twelve-month window, including those for Kopernicana, and divide them by the full-time people who made them possible.
It isn't a finish line to cross once: it measures what each person's work is worth, and it's checked every month. When the threshold is passed, on the first day of the following month the shares stop moving.
The rule, final version
Passed in July 2026 · Baking on 1 August
From 31 December, 51% to Kopernicana
The policy gave Kopernicana the right to rise to 51% after the trigger. It exercised it.
FAIRFLAI remains a company with its own autonomy, inside a system that holds the majority. The other 49% stays with those who built it, in the same proportions as the pie.
| Partner | At baking | From 31/12/2026 |
|---|---|---|
| Kopernicana | 7.91% | 51.00% |
| Giorgio | 36.19% | 19.25% |
| Giulio | 16.14% | 8.59% |
| Anna | 14.64% | 7.79% |
| Francesco | 12.20% | 6.49% |
| Giuseppe | 7.57% | 4.03% |
| Giacomo | 4.09% | 2.18% |
| Lorenzo | 1.26% | 0.67% |
