The COWRIE protects the local community by offering the Stay Safe Protection Program of all COWRIE purchased during the VIP Sales Offering.  

The way we accomplish this is by establishing an Escrow for the VIP Sales Offering which is managed by Schindlers Attorneys and regulated in terms of an Escrow Agreement. 

COWRIE holders can get refunded for purchases made during the COWRIE VIP Sale Offering at any time from 24 September 2022 until Mandela Day 2049 at the VIP Sale Offering launch price (which begins at 60 cents per COWRIE) (less any transaction fees).

The Stay Safe Protection Program is in place until Mandela Day 2049 and for so long as your COWRIE remains locked in your wallet. 

Once a COWRIE holder transacts on an exchange or uses the COWRIE for purchases, the Stay Safe Program falls away.
