Stake for the Cure: A Purpose-Driven Staking Mechanism

How It Works

Stake for the Cure is a utility-first, compliance-conscious participation program that replaces speculative staking with mission-based rewards. Participants lock ARTIE Tokens for a fixed period (3, 6, or 12 months), after which they may choose one of three social-impact outcomes for their earned participation bonus:

1. Donate Rewards
   Contribute 100% of your reward tokens to a registered 501(c)(3) CureChain cancer research wallet. These charitable donations are tax-deductible under U.S. law and support real-world impact.

2. Burn Rewards
   Permanently destroy your reward tokens to reduce total token supply and help maintain long-term platform sustainability.

3. Keep Rewards (Requires Proof of Contribution)
   Users may keep their earned reward tokens only after completing a verified ARTIE game or educational module. This ensures that rewards are tied to effort and engagement, not speculation or financial expectation.

Your original staked tokens are always returned in full at the end of the term.

 Why It Matters (Revised Section)

Stake for the Cure:

• Ensures all reward options have a medical, educational, or mission-aligned outcome

• Keeps staking within the bounds of utility, helping avoid security classification

• Reinforces ARTIE’s value as an engagement-based ecosystem, not a speculative platform

Disclaimer:
Stake for the Cure is not an investment program and offers no guaranteed return. Rewards are earned solely through user participation in approved educational or gaming modules. ARTIE Tokens are not securities and are intended only for utility use within the ARTIE ecosystem.
