By the very nature of this business, claims are cheap. We choose the truth, not the cheap one.

 

What do we stand for?

USTA is a fixed-supply ERC-20 token on Ethereum.
The supply is limited to 100,000,000,000 USTA; there is no inflation. Minting is done only once at the time of deployment; there are no admin keys like “owner mint/emissions” to increase the supply later.

 

USTA’s intention: to be a simple tool for fun experiments, tipping, and community activities.
USTA is not a promise of a “profit machine”; it is not investment advice and does not promise “profit” to anyone.

 

Our motto: “USTA bilir.”

 

Note: The word "USTA" here refers to the Turkish word "usta" (skilled craftsman); it does not imply any connection to any institution or brand.

 

What do we NOT advocate?

• We do not advocate distorting the truth for the sake of "hype."
• We do not advocate extracting value from people under the guise of "community."
• We do not advocate making decisions behind closed doors under the mask of "decentralization."
• We do not advocate hunting newcomers with "complex tokenomics."

 

The USTA culture is based on this principle: See people as ends, not means.

 

Our Values

We are building a community token for people, and we value the following more:

 

• Usefulness — real benefit instead of inflated promises.
• Verifiability — proof instead of words: links, source code, on-chain facts.
• Humanity — humor instead of hype; respect instead of inference.
• Openness — open source and open discussion; instead of closed doors.
• Reliability — working, simple systems instead of rushed launches.

 

And yes: while there is value on the right, we value the left more.

 

Our Principles (Standard of Conduct)

 

• “Evidence” Not “Claim”

If we say something, we provide evidence whenever possible:

repo link,

contract address,

explorer verification,

commit hash,

reproducible build/deployment note.

If there is no evidence, the claim is just noise.

 

• Simplicity is a security feature

USTA's contract philosophy is “no surprises”:
fixed supply, one-time mint, no admin key for supply.
Simplicity reduces the attack surface and social engineering.

 

• What is official is clear

The concept of “official” is not left vague.
Canonical references are gathered in one place; we do not legitimize imitators or those who claim to be "Usta".

 

• Community is not a “crowd”

Community is people who can act together, protect each other, and learn from each other.

“Crowd size” is a metric that can be manipulated.

 

• Humor is allowed, disrespect is forbidden

We make memes, we're absurd, we make fun of ourselves.
But we don't belittle anyone; racism, sexism, and hate speech are unacceptable, even under the guise of "jokes."

 

• Transparency is not a marketing tactic, it's character.

Transparency applies not only in good times but also in bad times:

If there's a mistake, we write about it,

If there's a misunderstanding, we correct it,

If there's a security risk, we don't "stay silent."

 

• "Conflicts of interest" should be discussable.

The person making a proposal should explain any conflicts of interest, if any. The language of "If you oppose this, you're an enemy" is not cult-like, it smells of deception.

 

• Security: process, not silence.

We thank those who find loopholes; we implement a responsible disclosure process. Security notification channels/rules are clearly maintained in the repository.

 

• What works wins

If there are many ideas, the best judge is the "working prototype."
Not showmanship, but shipping.

 

• If we say "for the community," we respect the community's time.

Unnecessary complexity, vague promises, constant changes of direction: these waste the community's time.

Wasting time is also a form of exploitation.

 

USTA Technical Facts (short and clear)

• Network: Ethereum mainnet
• Type: ERC-20
• Supply: 100,000,000,000 USTA (fixed)
• Mint: One-time supply at deployment only
• Supply admin key: None (owner mint / no emissions)
• Canonical contract: 0x8D15C25E0fF24256401Fd4DA6d85301084FC3672
• Explorer token tracker: Appears as “ERC-20: USTA (USTA)”.

 

USTA is defined as a “meme/community token”; it is for tipping/experimentation/activity purposes; it is not an investment promise.

 

Our Promise to the Community

• Open source: Development is carried out through repositories as much as possible.
• Verifiability: “Proof links” are standard, not a luxury.
• Reasonable pace: Instead of rushing and breaking, we progress slowly but surely.
• Feedback culture: Criticism is not hostility; if done correctly, it's like a gift.

 

Our Expectations from the Community

• Look at “proof,” not “words.”
• Doubt before linking to anything other than the “canonical address.”
• Don't crush newcomers; teach them.
• Be skeptical; but not paranoid.
• Use humor; but don't burn respect.
