# CATs

Contribution Accounting Tokens

To ensure that we abide by the third commandment, we use CATs (Contribution Accounting Tokens) to track our contributions and distribute the outcomes of our endeavors fairly to ourselves.\
\
The only way to obtain CATs is by contributing to our endeavors and becoming a member of The Stable Order. 

Our CATs are not for sale. They are not for investors and speculators. They are pure units of account.

If you are an investor disappointed by the impossibility to buy our CATs, consider becoming a Benefactor instead.
