HTC Token Transparency Policy

This policy defines how HTC treats token allocation, public reserves, treasury visibility, and developer constraints. It is written to make the key rules explicit and verifiable.

The team holds no personal sellable allocation. Up to 1% may be reserved only as a public project reserve.

1. Purpose

HTC is not intended to be a typical meme project. Its purpose is to turn trading taxes and creator rewards into verifiable funding for stray cat rescue.

For that reason, HTC applies a stricter transparency standard to token allocation, project reserves, public wallets, and treasury usage.

This policy is intended to clarify:

who holds tokens

what portion is reserved for public project use

what cannot be sold personally

how treasury-related funds will be disclosed

2. Team Personal Allocation

The HTC team does not hold any personal sellable allocation.

This means:

there is no developer-controlled personal sellable reserve

there is no hidden team allocation for private exit

there is no "team wallet" intended for personal selling

HTC does not treat project tokens as the personal property of the developers. Any project-related reserve must be treated as a public project reserve, not as a private holding.

3. Public Project Reserve

Up to 1% may be reserved as a public project reserve.

This 1% reserve is subject to the following rules:

it is not personal property of the developers

it must not be routed into private wallets

it must not function as a personal sellable allocation

it should be held in a public treasury or public reserve wallet

it must be included in HTC’s public on-chain disclosure

Its only purpose is to support public project functions, not private extraction.

4. Allowed Uses of the Public Reserve

The public reserve of up to 1% may only be used for:

stray cat rescue-related spending

publicly disclosed operating expenses

essential project maintenance

necessary liquidity coordination or technical migration

emergency uses explained publicly

No other use should be assumed to be allowed by default.

5. Wallet Disclosure Principles

HTC will progressively publish the major project wallets, including:

Treasury wallet(s)

Case wallet(s)

Public reserve wallet (if active)

Operations wallet (if active)

The official website should be treated as the single source of truth for official HTC wallets. Any wallet, account, or contract not listed there should not be treated as official.

6. Treasury Transparency Principles

HTC is not built on "trust us." It is built on making treasury flows visible.

HTC will make best efforts to disclose:

major wallet addresses

major treasury movements

case-related wallet activity

project updates and explanations

important transactions involving the public reserve

Where technically possible, this information will be shown through the website and public blockchain explorer links.

7. Selling and Exit Principles

The HTC team has no personal sellable allocation.

For the public project reserve:

it is a public project reserve, not a personal holding

it must not be used as personal exit liquidity

if a necessary action is required for maintenance, liquidity coordination, or migration, HTC should make best efforts to explain it in advance and disclose it afterward

HTC’s principle is not "developers may sell if they announce it first." HTC’s principle is: developers should not hold a personal allocation intended for free disposal.

8. Public Disclosure Priorities

HTC treats the following as high-priority public disclosures:

official treasury wallet(s)

official case wallet(s)

public reserve wallet (if active)

major treasury changes and key usage explanations

official token contracts and official project links

If HTC operates across multiple chains, platforms, or case tokens, the official website remains the single source of truth.

9. Change Policy

HTC will avoid changing this transparency policy frequently.

If changes become necessary, HTC should:

explain them publicly where possible

state the reason for the change

preserve prior records

never weaken the core principle of "no personal sellable allocation"

never convert public reserve assets into personal sellable holdings

10. Risk Notice

Transparency does not remove risk.

On-chain projects still involve:

price volatility

liquidity risk

technical risk

execution risk

update delays

platform rule changes

This policy explains HTC’s transparency and allocation constraints. It does not constitute any promise of profit, investment advice, or guaranteed outcome.

11. Core Commitment

HTC’s core commitment is simple:

The team holds no personal sellable allocation.

Up to 1% may be reserved only as a public project reserve.

Major wallets, treasury flows, and case progress will be made public wherever possible.

HTC is not asking users to trust that "the team won’t sell." HTC is designed so that there is no personal allocation that should be sold in the first place.
