It's not that trivial to track down.

Say a US company's French subsidiary sold something for $10 in France. If the software is developed in the US, then the US company will sell it to the French subsidiary for $9, so then they only have pay profits on $1 in France. Then in the US, they will say they paid $3 in costs and sold the software to their French counterpart for $9, booking $6 of profits in the US at a lower rate.

Yeah, they don't disclose which is why it's terrible.

Are you behind Topstartups? If so, you still haven't answered the question I posed for your website.

The main thing I'd want to know is whether companies pay to appear in the Top Startups list. I learned Breakoutlist does this a few years back and it destroyed their credibility for me.

You can use Stripe Issuing (https://stripe.com/issuing) to issue virtual or physical cards. If you have a large transaction volume or a unique business model, you can Contact Sales from that page to discuss "interchange revenue sharing", which seems to be what you're describing.

This seems like a strawman. You could almost definitely ask/warn the user when they set the cap, or you could make the cap not apply to anything that is not trivially recoverable.

But to oversimplify, under the Mirror Protocol, the idea is to keep prices of the synthetic -- or “mirrored” -- equities in the ballpark of the real thing by offering incentives for traders to arbitrage price discrepancies and manage the actual supply of tokens. Users can create, or “mint,” new tokens when prices are too high by posting collateral, and destroy, or “burn,” tokens when prices are too low, driving the price up or down.

This seems pretty similar to the authorized participant model used successfully with ETFs, so not sure if it's actually an issue.
