25% of FI tokens are initially allocated to founding members, core contributors, advisors, and partners, all subject to vesting periods.

IOB Token
What is IOB?
IOB was created in October 2017. The IOB LLC and iob.fi business are entirely funded by the funds from the sale of IOB tokens, along with some successful and failed investments in cryptocurrency projects.
What is the exchange rate between IOB and FI tokens?
IOB holders have the right to convert their IOB into FI. Each conversion event is unique. Conversions are proposed by iob.fi core members initially and are determined by the majority voting power approval of the IOB holders on the iob.fi DAO. 
Important policy proposals such as token conversion price and available batch amount are made by the designated core member during Phase 1 and 2 of iob.fi DAO deployment. After a certain amount of IOB tokens are burnt, in Phase 3 the entire IOB token control will be given to the IOB holders.
Since IOB holders only control 48.5% of FI tokens, will the FI holders out-vote IOB holders on important matters, including IOB to FI conversions? 
Not likely. 
First of all, only the current IOB holders can vote on matters concerning IOB to FI conversion. Secondly, the conversion mechanism is so designed that the IOB holders ARE the majority of the FI holders for a foreseeable future. 
In the beginning, iob.fi DAO core members act as a 'central bank' that controls and balances the FI 'money' supply. If we do things sensibly, we will not flood the market with an excess of FI token supply that will ruin the token economics and the price of FI in the open market. For a period after FI's creation, only IOB holders are FI token suppliers. 
Eventually, the role of the 'central bank' will be given to the entire community, no longer in the hands of the core members.  
What is the difference between IOB and FI?
IOB holders are entitled to receive dividends from iob.fi business activities while FI is not.
Where and how can I exchange my IOB to FI?
Once the required voting majority has approved the token conversion on iob.fi DAO and the conversion event is enacted, all IOB holders can then clicking on "Token Request" to make the exchange. 
What will happen to IOB Power points on SiP?
They are yours to keep and are exchangeable to IOB tokens. 
What will happen to the IOB tokens that were converted into FI?
The converted IOB tokens are considered as Redeemed and will be permanently burnt.
Can IOB holders vote on iob.fi DAO?
