This page describes how MEPR treats "U.S. persons" — natural persons resident in the United States, entities organized under U.S. law, and others captured by the U.S.-person definitions under Regulation S, the Bank Secrecy Act, and OFAC regulations.
1. Access requires KYC
U.S. persons may access MEPR community features without KYC. Buying or receiving $MEPR, staking, participating in launchpad campaigns, and other financial features require identity verification through our KYC provider. See our Privacy Policy.
2. OFAC & sanctions screening
All users are screened against U.S. Treasury OFAC lists and other sanctions lists on signup, at KYC, and periodically thereafter. Matches result in account restriction and, where required, blocked transactions.
3. State restrictions
Certain U.S. states impose money-transmitter licensing, BitLicense, or other regulatory requirements on digital-asset activity. Metta Protocol Foundation may restrict features by state where required. See Regulatory Notices for the current state-restriction list.
4. No investment advice, no securities offering
$MEPR is offered to U.S. persons as a utility token for consumptive use inside the MEPR ecosystem, not as a security. See our Token Classification Statement and No Investment Advice notice.
5. Tax reporting
U.S. persons are responsible for reporting digital-asset activity under applicable IRS rules, including sales, staking rewards, airdrops, and referral rewards. MEPR may issue applicable tax forms where required and does not provide tax advice.
6. Prohibited jurisdictions
MEPR is not offered to persons in comprehensively sanctioned jurisdictions or on any restricted-jurisdiction list maintained by the Foundation. Users must not misrepresent their location or use VPNs to evade jurisdictional restrictions.
7. Complaints
U.S. users may submit consumer complaints via our Complaints Portal. Investors and launchpad participants may also submit disputes via the in-app Investor Relations channel.
