What Is the Concept of ‘Safe Harbor’ in Crypto Regulation?

A 'safe harbor' is a proposed regulatory provision that would allow a project to sell tokens to raise funds without immediate classification as a security, provided the project meets specific development and decentralization milestones within a defined grace period. The goal is to foster innovation by giving projects time to build a decentralized network before full securities laws apply.
