The following reflects Shaban's personal thoughts and journey:

"The SHABAN token represents a unique journey in the world of digital assets. Created on Counterparty to reserve my name, it initially had no defined purpose. Eight years later, it has become the foundation for the most ambitious Counterparty project to date.

The token’s cover illustration reflects a feeling I’ve often experienced: building something revolutionary while the world remained unaware of its significance. My path into the digital world began in childhood when I learned coding, a skill that allowed me to bring ideas to life and create digital realities others could only imagine.

The Future of Forgotten Relics (FoFR) holds deep personal meaning for me. It’s more than just launching a project; it’s a narrative of my past, present, and future. The SHABAN token, once a simple name reservation, now symbolizes perseverance, vision, and the limitless potential when technology and imagination intersect.

I dedicate this token to visionaries who feel misunderstood, to innovators working on ideas ahead of their time. It’s a reminder that the digital seeds planted today may grow into the technological marvels of tomorrow.

The SHABAN token connects my personal journey with the collective future of the Counterparty ecosystem. It shows the power of maintaining a vision, even when the world isn’t ready for it. Sometimes, patience is key as the world catches up.

This FoFR collection goes beyond being a series of digital assets. It tells a story of persistence, innovation, and the beautiful unpredictability of technological progress. I invite everyone to become part of this narrative, to recognize the potential in current efforts, and to join in crafting a future where imagination has no limits."
