# CATs

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. 

{% hint style="info" %}
If you are an investor disappointed by the impossibility to buy our CATs, consider becoming a Benefactor instead.
{% endhint %}
