Public guardrails

The boundaries are part of the brand.

MOVE Coin gets stronger when the rules are visible. These gates keep the system serious while documents, ledgers, workflows, reviews, and settlement agreements are finalized.

Founder-authorized does not mean document-complete. Activation still requires the listed written records and reviews.

Trust rules

Plain language protects everyone.

The strongest version of MOVE is clear about what the system can and cannot do. That clarity protects members, vendors, partners, operators, and the mission.

No investment promise

No purchase price, cash value, equity, ownership, dividends, profit sharing, passive income, appreciation, buyback, or resale market.

No untracked chips

Every issued chip needs a source, reason, ledger entry, redemption path, and closeout process.

No prohibited redemption

No cash redemption unless required by law, gambling, wagering, raffles, sweepstakes, alcohol, cannabis, or regulated adult products.

No vendor ambiguity

Approved partners need written settlement terms covering redemption value, timing, taxes, refunds, and disputes.

No wage substitution

MOVE Coins and F#ck Chips cannot replace legally required employee wages, contractor pay, or other lawful compensation.

No automatic award

Membership payments, donations, F#ck Chip purchases, sponsorships, referrals, hours, and project support may document contribution. None creates entitlement to a MOVE Coin.

15 guarded program gates

Go public with the gates, not around them.

These gates can be shown publicly as the launch standard. Each one needs a named owner, status, document link, and review history in the internal launch records before that program component moves from public preview to active operations.

Build in the right order.
