While I agree with some points, crypto solution seems horrible. Just give them non voting shares, why do this crypto nonsense? That said to play the devils advocate, the founding engineer can always leave the company when he wants while the founder is generally expected to sink or swim with the company. If the founding engineer could sign a contract that forced him to work for the 4 year time period, if he refused to work, he would get arrested etc then I suspect his compensation would be much higher. But of course such contracts are illegal
