Our X name is now EOTM Labs
Our X account now goes by EOTM Labs. The handle stays the same,
@EOTMofficial, so every existing link still works.
As we expected, changing the name sent the account's verification back for review: the blue check now shows
"Under review". That's X's normal process when a verified account changes its name, and it usually takes a few
days. Nothing else about the account has changed.
Once the review is done, we'll change the profile picture to the new mark, one step at a time, as we said we
would. If the account looks a little different from one day to the next, this is why. This site stays the source
of truth.

Our mark: the Interlocking Seal
EOTM Labs has its mark. It's a square seal cut into five pieces that, between them, carry the letters E, O, T and M.
No letter is complete on its own: each borrows a line from its neighbour, and the seal only holds together with
every piece in place.
That's Economy of the Many in one shape. The pieces need each other, and no single piece holds it up. No part
stands above the others: every line is the same weight and every gap is the same width. Its frame has one opening
on each side, built to hold together without shutting anyone out.
It started as a sketch by one of us and was drawn on a strict grid, in the same black on white as
Perma's seal. It replaces the placeholder mark on this site now, and on our X profile as the rename finishes this week.

EOTM becomes EOTM Labs
Same four letters, different words behind them: Economy of the Many. Employee of the Month was a placeholder,
a name that held a feeling while we worked out what we were.
We're changing the name and picture on our X profile in stages over the coming week, so the account stays
continuous and keeps its verification. The EOTM Labs mark is still a placeholder too, so expect that to change. (Later the same day: the new mark
is here. See the entry above.)
The site is up with the Perma manifesto, the fundraise and beta tester applications. Nothing is launched yet:
Perma is in development and has not been audited, and an external audit is not currently planned. Don't use it
with money you aren't prepared to lose.
