Acknowledgment

Project Commitment

---

We deeply appreciate the trust and commitment demonstrated by all participants who have claimed their airdrop tokens. Your choice to engage with our project is highly valued, and we thank you for your support.

Creating Value

Building and maintaining a successful project like $BARK requires considerable effort, dedication, and problem-solving. The BARK Protocol is more than just a technological venture; it demands significant resources, time, expert input, and a strong, engaged community.

Resource Management and Community Dynamics

At present, we are investing substantial resources to manage a community where some profiles may not be genuine. Our team faces considerable pressure and occasional harassment, which is unfortunately common in this space. The proliferation of meme tokens and fraudulent schemes in various regions has impacted the integrity of the ecosystem. These actions exploit individual judgment and undermine genuine projects.

Future Plans: Closed System Development

To address these challenges and enhance the quality of our community, we are developing a closed system. This system will be restricted to vetted participants, ensuring that only those who contribute meaningfully and respect the project’s values are included.

Key Aspects of the Closed System:

• Rigorous Vetting: We will implement strict processes to filter out participants who do not meet our standards or fail to contribute positively.

• Respect and Effort: Access will be granted to those who demonstrate respect for the project and show commitment through significant effort.

• Understanding Requirements: Before any audit or token distribution, it is crucial to fully understand and comply with all prerequisites and criteria.

Inclusivity and Fair Access

We recognize that financial constraints should not hinder participation or token claims. To address this, we are introducing NFTs to provide access and rewards without excluding those with limited resources.

Introduction of Soulbound Tokens

To ensure fair access and accountability, we are introducing Soulbound Tokens and considering their integration with Token-2022 and CNFT benefits. These tokens will be distributed to those who have made a claim and will be used to enforce community rules and maintain respect for the project.

Key Features of Soulbound Tokens:

• Access and Accountability: Soulbound Tokens grant access to exclusive benefits and can be revoked if rules are violated.

• Non-Transferable: These tokens are designed to be non-transferable, preserving their value and integrity within the community.

• Rule Enforcement: They facilitate the enforcement of community rules and the removal of access if necessary, ensuring a respectful and supportive environment.

Transparency and Trust

We are committed to operating transparently and addressing challenges openly. Our goal is to foster a collaborative environment where all community members contribute to the project's success. We are dedicated to resolving issues and building a trustworthy and supportive community.

Thank you for your continued support and involvement. Together, we can overcome challenges and build a resilient and innovative ecosystem.
