Date: February 24, 2026 Milestone: Legal Foundation & 83(b) Filing Complete

In the digital world, we often talk about "immutable ledgers" and "onchain transparency." But today, I was reminded that the first ledger we must balance is one of integrity and foresight.

Filing the 83(b) election and the IRS Form 8821 isn't just about tax compliance; it is an act of stewardship. It is the professional equivalent of "counting the cost" before building the tower. By taking these steps now, I am protecting the future of CyberChurch Onchain so that when the harvest comes, the storehouse is already prepared.

"The plans of the diligent lead surely to abundance, but everyone who is hasty comes only to poverty." — Proverbs 21:5

In the startup world, "Move Fast and Break Things" is the common mantra. But the Word teaches us that diligence—the slow, careful work of setting a foundation—is what leads to true abundance. Today was about diligence. It was about ensuring that the "legal pipes" of this company are as strong as the code we are writing. We are not just building for a season; we are building on the Rock.

• The 83(b) Seal: My ownership is now legally and fiscally bound to the long-term vision. The sacrifice of paperwork today prevents the burden of debt tomorrow.

  IRS Authorization: Filed Form 8821, appointing Todd McReynolds to handle the Tax Information Authorization for our Employer Identification Number. This ensures that even our interactions with the government are handled with professional order.

• Venmo & Social Identity: Established @cyberchurch as our digital storefront, categorized under Systems Design to reflect our true work as architects of community.

Lord, thank You for the grace to complete these foundational steps. May CyberChurch Onchain be a company known not just for its innovation, but for its integrity. As these documents are postmarked and filed, I commit the future of this organization into Your hands. Let our "Yes" be "Yes" in every contract, every tax form, and every line of code. Amen.
