Rewards are convertible to CHF — but '''without guarantee'''. Their availability depends on the financial health of the platform: how much revenue is generated by monthly subscriptions, how many users are active, and whether the budget covers costs. Rewards are honest: if the platform doesn't generate enough revenue, Rewards are not distributed that month. They represent a conditional claim on future subscription revenue, not a debt. | |||
