120M Architect Keys — 12% of a fixed 1B supply, sold once, at the founding rate. The agent economy got its money rail. 5arz is the verified-human layer it still lacks. The allowlist is open now — the sale opens Q3 2026.
Not an offer to sell or a solicitation to buy any security. Offered outside the U.S. to non-U.S. persons under Reg S — not available to U.S. persons. Any offer is made solely via the offering documents to eligible, verified investors.
Architect Keys are the earliest protocol allocation in 5arz — sold once, before mainnet, to the people building the rail before it's obvious. 12% of total supply, at the founding Architect rate, with a governance role in the Vitality Senate. Offered outside the U.S. to non-U.S. persons under Reg S.
5arz Tasks is the consumer surface. Architect Keys are the rail underneath — the protocol layer that mints, settles, and burns every Star. It's a fixed allocation in the ledger that powers verified human work and settlement at scale, offered under exemptions from registration.
This allocation is sold once, before mainnet, at the founding rate — and the timing isn't an accident. Three things are happening at once.
The largest payment networks aligned on a shared stablecoin rail (Open USD). Value is about to move at machine speed — and that rail ships with no way to prove a real human is behind a transaction.
Agent Pay and Trusted-Agent rails now let AI act and transact for people. Proving a unique, live human is on the other end stops being optional — it becomes infrastructure.
Not a whitepaper. A live verification engine, signed proof-of-human credentials, two USPTO filings, and real usage today. Architects buy into a working system, pre-mainnet.
Architect Keys aren't a single instrument. They're a stack — token allocation, governance, take-free legal protection, liquidity rights, and access.
~3.33M ARZ per $1M committed (at the $0.30 founding rate). 12-month linear vest, no cliff. Mint date is mainnet — Q4 2026.
Governance rights from mainnet onward. Vote on protocol parameters, treasury allocation, debt-portfolio acquisitions, and Foundation directives.
The strongest form of asset title in U.S. commercial law. Your ARZ is property — superior to bankruptcy claims and adverse interests.
A Foundation-governed liquidity mechanism may, post-mainnet, support redemption without relying on secondary-market depth. Availability and terms are governed by the protocol and are not a guarantee of price, liquidity, or return.
Quarterly Foundation calls, audit firm reports as released, debt-portfolio acquisition reports, AI-lab Time-Bond ledger, all under NDA.
Strategic seed investors (pre-Architect Keys) receive a 25% allocation bonus. The tier is reserved; we don't oversell.
The supply is hard-capped at 1,000,000,000 ARZ at the contract level — there is no function to mint above it. 55% of all supply only ever enters circulation as verified human work is completed. Here's the full six-bucket allocation, finalized in whitepaper v5.0.
Not a roadmap. The protocol, the proof engine, and the legal scaffolding are already live and running — pre-mainnet.
The Architect allocation is priced on a simple volume ladder. Everyone starts at the founding rate; larger commitments — measured in nodes of 10M ARZ each — step down toward the full-block rate.
Final terms are set in the offering documents. All allocations are offered under Reg S to eligible non-U.S. persons; the 12 nodes and the public sale are the same 120M ARZ — sold one way or split, never both in full.
Strategic seed target: $3–5M. Architect Key target: $25–60M. Combined funds the rail to mainnet and the first 18 months of operations. Detailed line-items below.
A clean six-step process. Built to satisfy compliance counsel + accommodate institutional check-writers.
Submit interest below. We confirm receipt within 48 hours and route you to the right channel based on check size and use case.
Sign a mutual NDA and receive the diligence package — pitch deck, whitepaper, business plan, audit-engagement letters, founder bio, cap table, prior commitments.
30–60 minutes with Andre. Walk through the model, the recoverability stack, the audit timeline. Q&A, no scripts.
For accredited verification (Reg D 506(c)) we use Persona's Verify-Investor flow. For non-U.S. investors (Reg S), we use a streamlined accredited-equivalent attestation. Subscription docs via DocuSign.
Funds wired to escrow account at the Foundation's Cayman bank. Cleared funds are reflected in your Architect Key allocation portal within 2 business days.
At Q4 2026 mainnet, your ARZ allocation is minted to your account-abstraction wallet. 12-month linear vest begins. Vitality Senate access goes live.
If your question isn't here, ask it on the founder call.
ARZ is intended to function as a controllable electronic record under UCC Article 12 (2022 amendments), which governs how the asset is held and transferred. The Architect Key sale is conducted outside the U.S. to non-U.S. persons under Regulation S (with other exemptions as applicable). Outside counsel is preparing the full Howey/Reves analysis and a UCC Article 12 opinion letter, which we'll make available to eligible investors as part of diligence. Stars (the consumer surface) are closed-loop utility credits redeemable only against verified debt — a separate instrument from the Architect Key.
The current offering is open to non-U.S. persons under Reg S — you do not need to be accredited. All participants complete identity verification (KYC/AML) and sign subscription documents; allocations are discretionary. U.S. persons are not eligible for this round but can join the allowlist for a future community round (pending regulatory clearance). The public minimum is $25K; a single anchor investor taking the full 12-node block may be offered preferential terms by arrangement.
The founding rate is $0.30 per ARZ — the rate for the Architect Key allocation ahead of mainnet. A single anchor investor taking the full 12-node block (the entire Architect allocation) may be offered preferential terms by arrangement. Any liquidity or redemption mechanisms are governed by the protocol and are not a guarantee of price or return.
Cleared funds are held in escrow until mainnet. If mainnet doesn't launch by Q2 2027 (a 6-month buffer past Q4 2026 target), Architects have the unilateral right to a full refund. The Foundation's incentive is fully aligned with shipping on time.
The Senate votes on: (1) protocol parameters — mint difficulty, fee rates, treasury allocation — via on-chain governance contracts; (2) debt-portfolio acquisition approvals for portfolios above $50M face value; (3) Foundation council member elections; (4) major architectural changes (e.g. v2 TEE migration, new chain expansion). It is NOT day-to-day operational governance — that's the Foundation's responsibility.
No. The 12-month linear vest is enforced on-chain. Unvested ARZ is non-transferable. After mainnet, vested portions become transferable on the standard ARZ schedule. The Foundation may offer Liquidity Spigot redemption for emergencies on a case-by-case basis.
Zero pre-mine. The 1B fixed cap is hard-coded at the contract level — there is no admin function to mint above 1B ARZ. New supply only enters circulation via verified work (Performance Mint Pool, 55% of supply), and that pool is performance-gated by the Bio-Bridge Oracle. Architects own a fixed 12% of total supply, never less.
The strategic seed (Q2 2026, target $3–5M) uses a SAFE plus a token-allocation side letter. Seed investors receive Architect Key allocation at the founding rate, plus a bonus by arrangement, when the Architect sale opens in Q3 2026. Minimum seed check: $250K. Architect minimum: $25K.
Tax treatment depends on your jurisdiction and investor entity (individual, LLC, trust, foreign vehicle) and on the final characterization of the instrument. We'll provide a tax memo from outside counsel as part of the diligence package. Nothing here is tax advice — always consult your own tax advisor.
The current offering is available to non-U.S. persons only, under Reg S. The allowlist, though, is open to everyone — you don't need to be accredited to join it, and joining is not a commitment to invest or a guarantee of an allocation. Everyone completes identity verification (KYC/AML). If you're in the U.S., you can still join — a separate community round for our U.S. supporters is being explored and depends on regulatory clearance; we'll come to you the moment we can do it right. We aim to confirm receipt within 48 hours.
