▍ Why now

Buy the rail, not the seat.

5arz Tasks is the consumer surface. Architect Keys are the rail underneath — the protocol layer that mints, settles, and burns every Star at face value. You're not buying a token speculation. You're buying a fixed allocation in the ledger that powers consumer debt-erasure at scale.

▍ What you get

Five things in one allocation.

Architect Keys aren't a single instrument. They're a stack — token allocation, governance, take-free legal protection, liquidity rights, and access.

Fixed ARZ allocation at floor

4M ARZ per $1M committed (at $0.25 floor). 12-month linear vest, no cliff. Mint date is mainnet — Q4 2026.

Vitality Senate seat

Governance rights from mainnet onward. Vote on protocol parameters, treasury allocation, debt-portfolio acquisitions, and Foundation directives.

UCC § 12-104 take-free protection

The strongest form of asset title in U.S. commercial law. Your ARZ is property — superior to bankruptcy claims and adverse interests.

Liquidity Spigot access

Foundation-operated buyback contract executes at the protocol-floor or above. Architects can sell directly to the protocol without DEX slippage.

Pre-mainnet diligence access

Quarterly Foundation calls, audit firm reports as released, debt-portfolio acquisition reports, AI-lab Time-Bond ledger, all under NDA.

Reserved tier for seed

Strategic seed investors (pre-Architect Keys) receive a 25% allocation bonus. The tier is reserved; we don't oversell.

▍ Use of funds

▍ FAQ

Common questions.

If your question isn't here, ask it on the founder call.

Is ARZ a security?+

ARZ is engineered as property under UCC Article 12 (2022 amendments), not a security. The Architect Key sale itself uses Reg D 506(c) + Reg S exemptions for the issuance event. Outside counsel is preparing the full Howey/Reves analysis and a UCC Article 12 opinion letter, both of which will be published before mainnet. Stars (the consumer surface) are utility credits redeemable only against verified debt — closed-loop, not investment products.

Who can invest?+

U.S. investors must be accredited under Reg D 506(c) (verified via Persona's Verify-Investor flow, SEC-recognized). Non-U.S. investors qualify under Reg S with a streamlined accredited-equivalent attestation. We do not accept retail investors at the Architect tier. The minimum check is $25K.

How is the floor price set?+

The protocol floor of $0.25 is set by the Foundation in consultation with the Liquidity Spigot mechanism design. It is the rate at which the Foundation has committed to buy back ARZ post-mainnet, providing a structural floor that doesn't depend on secondary-market liquidity. Architects always have the option to sell back to the protocol at floor or above.

What happens if mainnet slips?+

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.

What does the Vitality Senate actually do?+

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.

Can I sell my Architect Keys before vest?+

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.

What's the dilution risk?+

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.

What's the seed-round structure?+

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 protocol floor, plus a 25% bonus, when the Architect sale opens in Q3 2026. Minimum seed check: $250K. Architect minimum: $25K.

Tax treatment?+

ARZ is property under UCC Article 12, not a security, so it generally falls under property/asset tax treatment in most U.S. jurisdictions. Specific tax treatment varies by investor entity (individual, LLC, trust, foreign vehicle). We will provide a tax memo from outside counsel as part of the diligence package. Always consult your own tax advisor.
