This policy applies to every director, officer, employee, contractor, advisor, KOL, Ambassador, and community moderator of Metta Protocol Foundation ("Insider"), and to their immediate family members and controlled entities.
1. Definition of MNPI
"Material non-public information" ("MNPI") is any information about MEPR, $MEPR, or a launchpad-listed token that a reasonable participant would consider important in deciding whether to buy, sell, or hold, and that has not been publicly disclosed. Examples include unannounced listings, exploits, audits, partnerships, tokenomics changes, unlock rescheduling, and launchpad allocations.
2. Prohibited transactions
Insiders may not trade $MEPR or any related asset while in possession of MNPI, and may not "tip" MNPI to any other person who could trade on it.
3. Blackout windows
Insiders are subject to blackout windows announced by the Foundation. Standard blackout windows include the 48 hours before and after a token unlock, the 72 hours before and after a public launchpad allocation event, and the 24 hours before and after a public protocol upgrade announcement. Additional event-driven blackouts may be imposed.
4. Pre-clearance for insiders
Directors, officers, and named advisors must obtain pre-clearance from the Foundation's compliance contact before any $MEPR transaction outside of automated vesting flows.
5. Vesting & program allocations
Vesting distributions, program-based rewards, and pre-scheduled sales executed under a written plan established while the Insider had no MNPI are not prohibited by this policy.
6. Enforcement
Violations may result in clawback of tokens or compensation, termination of employment or program status, forfeiture of unvested allocations, and referral to regulators and law enforcement.
7. Reporting
Report suspected violations to compliance@mettaprotocol.app or via our Whistleblower channel.
