Terms of Service

Cathereum is an Ethereum-native ecosystem. Phase 1 is the Cathereum Genesis collection: a website, a mint list registration flow, a mint allocation checker, and a non-custodial interface to the Genesis mint on Ethereum mainnet.

Registration does not move funds. The mint and everything after it are transactions you sign yourself in your own wallet.

Registering means completing six steps: connect a wallet, connect X, follow @CathereumTech on X, interact with our post on X, join the Cathereum Telegram channel, and submit. Completing them records that you registered. Registering on its own does not guarantee an allocation or a mint.

No financial rights.

A registration is not an investment. It carries no ownership, no profit share, no claim against us and no monetary value.

Not transferable.

Registrations and allocations cannot be sold, traded or transferred. Anyone offering to sell you a spot or an allocation is not acting for us.

Our decision.

We decide who receives which allocation. We may remove any registration at any time, including where we suspect duplicate wallets, bots, fake accounts or false information.

The allocation checker shows the current allocation for a wallet. Allocations can change before the mint opens, for example after abuse checks.

GTD

Guaranteed mint. The wallet can mint up to its stated maximum during the GTD phase, at the mint price, while that phase is open. A guaranteed mint that is not used during the GTD phase expires.

FCFS

First Come First Serve Mint. The wallet is eligible during the FCFS phase while supply lasts. Eligibility does not guarantee a mint.

Public

Open to any wallet during the public phase while supply lasts.

A mint ticket is an image of your allocation result. It is not an NFT, not a token and has no value. Its contents are only as current as the checker at the time you generated it.

The Cathereum Genesis collection has a fixed supply of 8,888. Of these, 4,444 are available to mint and 4,444 are reserved for liquidity. Phases run in the order GTD, FCFS, Public. The mint price, phase times and wallet limits that apply are the ones shown in the interface and enforced by the contract when you mint.

You pay the mint price and the Ethereum network fee. A mint that has been confirmed on-chain is final. We cannot refund it, reverse it, or change which NFT you receive. A transaction that fails on-chain can still cost a network fee.

Cathereum uses DN404. Each Cathereum NFT is paired with 1.0 $GCAT, a fungible token on Ethereum. Holding one whole $GCAT in a wallet means that wallet holds one Cathereum NFT.

Fractions

If a wallet's $GCAT balance drops below a whole number, for example by selling or transferring part of a token, the contract removes the NFT that balance no longer covers. Buying $GCAT back can give you a different NFT, not the one you had.

Two markets

$GCAT can trade on Uniswap and Cathereum NFTs can trade on NFT marketplaces such as OpenSea. Those venues are run by third parties under their own terms. Prices on each can differ.

Burning $GCAT

You can burn the $GCAT paired with an NFT to activate RWA rewards for that NFT. The NFT stays in your wallet. The burn is permanent and cannot be reversed. You cannot recover the burned $GCAT.

An NFT whose $GCAT has been burned can receive RWA rewards. Rewards are paid in tokenized stocks bought with a share of Cathereum trading fees and held in the holder RWA vault.

Rewards depend entirely on trading activity that may never happen. Amounts shown in the interface are estimates until claimed. Tokenized stocks are issued by third parties and represent the issuer's terms, not direct ownership of the underlying shares. They give no voting or dividend rights unless their issuer says otherwise, and they may not be available or lawful to hold where you live.

We intend to open a launchpad where anyone can create and trade tokens on Ethereum. As currently designed, each trade carries a 2% fee split by the contracts: 30% to the creator, 30% to that token's RWA vault, 5% to the Cathereum NFT holder RWA vault, 15% to referrers, and 20% to the platform.

That describes an intention on the day it was written. It is not a commitment. We may change the design, the fee, the split, the network, or stop the work. Additional terms may apply when the launchpad opens.

Anything launched through the launchpad is created by its creator, not by us. We do not review, endorse or vet tokens. We may hide or restrict how a token appears in an interface we run, which does not change the token on-chain.

Where a wallet has a referrer, the contracts pay that referrer a share of the trading fee automatically, on-chain, at the moment of the trade. We are not a party to that payment and cannot reverse, adjust or recover it. Referral relationships are permanent once set.

Any value you receive is yours to declare. You are responsible for any tax that arises from it.

You may use the site, the interface and any Cathereum product only for lawful purposes. You agree not to do any of the following.

Fake or automated registrations

Registering wallets or accounts that are not yours, registering by script or bot, or using many wallets to collect extra allocations.

Fraud

Presenting a registration, an allocation, a mint ticket or a token as something it is not.

Impersonation

Pretending to be Cathereum, or launching a token whose name, symbol, image or metadata impersonates Cathereum, another project or another person.

Infringement

Violating the intellectual property or other rights of Cathereum or anyone else.

Attacks

Interfering with, compromising or gaining unauthorised access to the site, our infrastructure or anyone's data.

Scraping and probing

Harvesting data by automated means, or using the allocation checker to test wallet addresses in bulk.

Market manipulation

Wash trading, spoofing, front-running or any other manipulative practice.

Sanctions and unlawful activity

Using Cathereum while subject to sanctions, or in connection with money laundering, terrorist financing or any other unlawful activity.

We provide an interface only. You alone control your wallet, your keys and your assets, and you are responsible for keeping them secure. We cannot reverse a transaction, freeze a token, or recover keys or assets that are lost, stolen or sent in error. No one from Cathereum will ever ask for your seed phrase.

These Terms create no fiduciary duty and no advisory relationship. We are not your broker, adviser or custodian. Network fees are paid to Ethereum validators, not to us, and we cannot refund them.

The Cathereum name, logo, cat sprite, artwork and the content on this site belong to Cathereum or its licensors. You may not copy, modify or distribute them without our written permission, except as these Terms allow or as a separate NFT licence we publish allows.

Owning a Cathereum NFT gives you the NFT itself and any rights set out in that licence. Until a licence is published, owning an NFT does not transfer copyright in its artwork.

If you send us feedback or ideas, we may use them without compensation or attribution.

The site, the interface and the contracts are provided "as is" and "as available", without warranties of any kind, whether express, implied or statutory, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title and non-infringement. We do not warrant that they will be secure, error-free or available at any particular time.

Nothing on this site is investment, legal, tax or accounting advice. Tokens and NFTs can lose all value, smart contracts can contain defects, RWA rewards depend on trading activity, and blockchain transactions are irreversible. You use Cathereum at your own risk.

You agree to defend, indemnify and hold harmless Cathereum and its team from any claim, loss or expense, including reasonable legal fees, arising from your use of the site or the interface, your breach of these Terms, your breach of any law or third-party right, or anything you create or launch through Cathereum.

To the maximum extent permitted by law, Cathereum will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential or punitive damages, or for any loss of profits, tokens, NFTs, digital assets or data, arising from the site, the interface, the contracts or any product we release. Our total liability for all claims will not exceed one hundred U.S. dollars.

Some jurisdictions do not allow these limitations. Where that is the case, our liability is limited to the smallest extent the law permits and your statutory rights are unaffected.

We may suspend or end your access to the site and the interface, and remove your registration, at any time. You may stop using Cathereum at any time and ask us to delete your registration as described in our Privacy Policy.

Ending access to the interface does not affect the contracts or anything already on-chain. The disclaimers, the limitation of liability and the indemnification survive termination.

Cathereum does not yet operate through a publicly named legal entity, and no governing jurisdiction has been settled. When one is, it will be stated here. Mandatory consumer protection rules where you live continue to apply to you.

If you have a dispute with us, contact [email protected] first so we can try to resolve it informally.

We may revise these Terms at any time and will update the date at the top of this page when we do. Using the site after a revision means you accept it. We may change, suspend or shut down the site or the interface at any time.

If any provision is unenforceable, the rest stays in effect. These Terms, together with our Privacy Policy, are the entire agreement between you and Cathereum about the site and the interface.

Questions about these Terms can be sent to [email protected].
