"The CryptoFed uses the part and package of buying and selling between Locke and Ducat to stabilize Ducat through ongoing open market operations similar to those of the Fed."

Running parallel to this SEC review on the Form S-i filing, CryptoFed volition also file Form S-8, which volition grant the company "restricted and untradeable Locke tokens to more than 500 persons."
