$T3MPL3 lets you* accrue tax deductions while speculating (*US-based individuals can deduct, but everyone can speculate).

We've replaced so-called “protocol fees” with charitable contributions to Qubit, a New York City-based non-profit. We'll issue donation receipts to your wallet address.

Our Motives

Our goal is to buy a building that can function as HQ for the next generation of performing arts and critical culture in Brooklyn.

The capital raised through this asset will be used to purchase and revitalize a specific building in Brooklyn, now derelict, which for nearly 200 years has played an historic role in the cultural landscape of the neighborhood.

We want to change the nature of fundraising.

$T3MPL3 is an exercise in financial independence from the restrictions of non-profit fundraising. The more transactions that occur, the greater the artistic freedom.

What is $T3MPL3

$T3MPL3 is innovation. It is a bivalent, tax-advantaged asset. Choose your own adventure: Speculate to maximize gains or invest in future write-offs. The charitable donation is the most accessible and effective type of deduction for the US taxpayer. Whether “number go up or down”, we've engineered your exposure to the market so that it produces a charitable donation. Note: For US taxpayers, “unused” charitable contributions can roll over into future tax years, increasing your take-home income for as long as you have the credit.

A Short Manifesto

The US government has structured the entire economy around the central premise that donations to charity are a way to maximize autonomy over personal finances. Every dollar donated to a non-profit is a dollar that is diverted from the US Treasury. But, most individual taxpayers don't make enough money to meaningfully alter the flow of capital away from the government, and towards the organizations that have a greater impact in their communities.

$T3MPL3 subverts this entire paradigm. As money flows into the asset and valuations increase, donations can begin reaching non-profit groups in amounts never before seen. As profit increases, so does the diversion of funds away from the Treasury, and into the hands of people with important, socially beneficent objectives. Half the capital gains taxes you pay on every other crypto asset go directly to the US military. We say: Fuck that. Why not use the power of the state against itself and rebuild our society from the bottom up?

I Work at a Non-Profit

$T3MPL3 is an entirely new way to fundraise. $T3MPL3 converts attention into capital through memetics. Imagine a world in which non-profits can quickly raise capital for their projects not by paying for a rolodex of donors, but by developing a worthwhile project that appeals to people around the world. Non-profits no longer have to beg for donations, or subordinate their goals to the largest foundations—which often results in failure. Instead, the most creative ideas are in the hands of the people who can best shape them into reality, and who will find the greatest sources of revenue. For now, $T3MPL3 is the proof-of-concept, but we will soon release a platform to launch unique tokens for any non-profit that wants to join us in this mission.
