    The first community milestone.

    • At $200,000 market cap, randomly select 10 eligible holders to receive $100 worth of $CARDS each.

    • Publish eligibility details and the selection process before the draw.
    • Announce winners and share payout transaction links.

    Planned holder promotion, not an active giveaway. Separate from free Prize Vault rounds: holding tokens is never required for those rounds and never improves their odds.
