The COWRIE is an ERC20 token with many firsts when it comes to in-built protection mechanisms purposed to safeguard the value of the COWRIE for its holders, both in the beginning stages and also in the long-term.

Multi-layer Protection Plan

• The total supply of COWRIE to be released in circulation is capped at 1,412,463,573.
• Contributions of buyers in the launch VIP sale are stored in an escrow trust account which is placed under the management of Schindlers Si Attorneys.
• The escrow protection affords the holders of COWRIE, purchased from the VIP launch sale, a full refund in terms of the Stay Safe Protection Program.
• Year-on-year vesting means that the total supply of COWRIE will be gradually eased into the market over a 27-year period to control supply.
• In addition, a mechanism called the South African Pump and Dump Officer (SAPDO) is employed to monitor the COWRIE market value throughout each year so as to release annual vesting at a rate that maintains value.

To find out more about the Stay Safe Protection Program and the Double Vesting Protection Plan. See the COWRIE whitepaper for more information.
