| RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS | RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS In August 2019, we entered into a consulting agreement with a member of our board of directors. Under the agreement, the board member would provide technical advisory services for cash payments totaling $50,000 paid in twelve equal monthly installments as well as an award of restricted stock units equal in value to $100,000 as of the grant date. In the event the board member continues to perform services in subsequent years, the Company will issue new grants equal to no less than $100,000 worth of restricted stock units in January of each additional year with such grants vesting at the end of each year so long as the services are still being provided.
