INTRODUCTORY BUSINESS LICENSE
$30,000.
Year one. First 30.
A flat introductory business license fee for the first thirty customers into the Five Star network. No tiers, no revenue triggers, no regional carveouts. One price for Year 1 while we prove out together.
The offer, plainly.

What the license actually gets you.
- A licensed seat in the Five Star network for Year 1 — full access to the substrate-native intelligence layer for your chain.
- First pattern-marketplace seat in your lane. First-mover discoveries (failure modes you spot first) become tradeable signed assets. 80–90% to you; 10–20% Five Star + Validiti mediation cut.
- Reference-customer publishing rights in Phase 1. The first OFC licensee to publish a case study lifts close rates 15–20% for everyone in the network — including future-you, on new lanes.
- Sealed binary integrity. Source never crosses your firewall. Your customers feel a substrate-native vendor. You control the brand on the pad.
What we ask you to bring.
- Existing equipment exposure in your target chain — you sell into, operate, or service the gear today
- A CTO or VP-engineering who can sign the license inside 90 days
- Field service capacity to install + maintain the sealed binary on customer hardware (or willingness to use the Five Star paid-install path)
Next steps.
- Confirm a 60-minute fit assessment with your CTO and a field-ops decision-maker.
- We walk the math for your equipment count — honest numbers, no extrapolation.
- License issued, kickoff date set, hardware supply chain initialized.
Licenses are first-come, network-wide. Thirty introductory licenses across all four
chains; allocation follows the natural phase cadence (OFC open now; DC, PC, OC opening
on the 6-month cycle).
