Anti-Gaming Measures

  • Daily snapshots — Balances are captured daily, not at a single point in time

  • Minimum threshold — $100 BUCK equivalent required to earn Buck Points

  • Continuous holding — Moving tokens resets your hold duration multiplier

Disclaimer

Points are non-monetary participation indicators used within the Buck ecosystem. They are designed to recognize and reflect a user’s level of activity, engagement, and contribution (for example, forum participation, holding Buck Tokens, or involvement in community initiatives). Points are non-transferable, have no monetary value, and do not confer any legal, ownership, governance, or financial rights in or over any Buck-related entity.

Any references to potential future features are illustrative only and do not constitute a roadmap, promise, or commitment. Users should not acquire Buck Tokens or seek to accumulate points in anticipation of, or reliance upon, any future distributions, upgrades, or additional rights.
