# KrAIken (Harb)

**A token system where your tokens earn for you — backed by real ETH, governed by transparent on-chain rules.**

## What is it?

KRK is a token on Base (Ethereum L2). When you hold KRK tokens, they're backed by ETH in a trading vault — there's a built-in minimum value your tokens can't drop below.

You can **stake** your tokens to earn a share of every trade. The longer you stake, the more you accumulate. But there's a twist: someone else can **challenge** your position by committing to a higher earning rate. If that happens, you get compensated at market value — you never lose money, you just get bought out.

The system adjusts itself automatically based on how people are staking. No manual intervention, no hidden operators. Everything is on-chain and verifiable.

## Key Numbers

- **20,000 staking positions** available (20% of total supply)
- **30 earning rate tiers** from 1% to 97% yearly
- **3-day minimum hold** before a position can be challenged
- **ETH-backed floor price** — your tokens always have a minimum value

## Is it safe?

The contracts are **not yet audited**. The code is [open source](https://codeberg.org/johba/harb) and deployed on Base. Use at your own risk, and never invest more than you can afford to lose.
