We make it up by building

Some chapters you don’t get to rewrite. Building Culture’s Culture Coin was rugged by a former partner. People got hurt. Screenshots circulated. Trust left the room.

We can’t un-rug a past. What we *can* do is refuse to repeat the pattern — and leave a trail of work you can verify without trusting a DM.

Two keys, one standard

Hood on Base is the OS founding passport: desk utility for the first circle. TICKPIX on Robinhood Chain is culture membership for the tape: a seat you mint, a badge you earn in Aura, Quest XP for showing up — not equity, not a fund, not a second founding collection.

If a project needs two “founding” JPEGs to keep the story going, the story is the product. Ours isn’t.

The boring rules that matter

1. Official contract addresses and mint URLs live only on aibusiness.fun and nft.aibusiness.fun. 2. Changelog, `/proof`, and `/live` stay public — quiet weeks stay honest zeros. 3. Fair-launch timing is announced on official channels 48 hours ahead — never by DM, never as a surprise CA. 4. NFTs are keys, not lottery tickets.

That’s the [community covenant](/trust). Six promises. Hold us to them.

What to do if you’re still angry (fair)

Anger is data. Don’t buy a story. Mint only after you read the CA on Blockscout. Link the same wallet in Aura OS if you want Pit belonging. Share the covenant if someone asks “are these the Culture Coin people?” — yes, same lineage of builders; no, not the same playbook.
