Token Usage and Evolution

Experimental Nature: The $COR token, currently in its v1 phase, is experimental and primarily intended for governance and utility within the alpha software of Cortensor. Users should understand that the token is subject to change, and Cortensor reserves the right to evolve or replace the token with a v2 or subsequent version at any time.

Token Control: Cortensor maintains full control over any changes to the token, including but not limited to, adjustments in its functionality, distribution, or governance mechanisms. The transition to v2 or any subsequent token version will be at Cortensor's discretion and may result in the deprecation or alteration of v1 tokens.

Token Migration and Next Versions: Cortensor and its parent company reserve the right to introduce new versions of the $COR token and initiate a migration process at any time. Users understand and agree that such migrations may lead to changes in the token's functionality, value, or utility. Cortensor and its parent company are not liable for any loss of value, disruption of service, or any other consequences arising from the migration to a new token version. Users participate in such migrations at their own risk and discretion.

Community Distribution via DEX: Users may acquire $COR tokens through decentralized exchanges (DEX). By doing so, users agree to be bound by these Terms of Use. Cortensor emphasizes that this distribution is aimed at ensuring broad community participation and is not a traditional sale.
