Stake for the Cure: A Purpose-Driven Staking Mechanism

⚙️ How It Works

Stake for the Cure is a compliance-conscious, utility-based staking system that replaces speculative rewards with real-world impact. Participants lock their ARTIE Tokens for a fixed period (3, 6, or 12 months) and at the end of the term choose from one of three outcomes for their earned rewards:

1. Donate Rewards
   Send 100% of your staking rewards directly to a 501(c)(3)-verified CureChain cancer research wallet. Donations are tax-deductible under U.S. law.

2. Burn Rewards
   Destroy (burn) your rewards forever, helping reduce token supply and support long-term price stability.

3. Keep Rewards (Requires Proof of Contribution)
   Users may keep their rewards — but only if they have completed at least one approved ARTIE game or learn-to-earn educational module. This ensures that keeping tokens is tied to engagement, not speculation.

✅ Your original staked tokens are always returned in full.

📊 Why It Matters

Stake for the Cure:

• Ensures all reward outcomes have social or educational value.

• Helps keep the token utility-based, avoiding security classification risks.

• Creates a unique, mission-aligned ecosystem where staking = action, not passive gain.
