Executive Summary

What $CANDY is and why it exists.

$CANDY is a community-born culture coin and reward infrastructure built on Hedera.

It combines meme-driven attention with functional infrastructure through the Candy Machine.

The Candy Machine is an onboarding and reward engine.

It simplifies wallet creation, token distribution, staking-style rewards, and liquidity incentives.

$CANDY uses a fixed supply of 12,000,000 tokens.

It uses a permanent 1% transaction fee.

The fee funds onboarding, infrastructure, and long-term sustainability.

Mission: onboard the world to Hedera one Candy at a time.

Over two years, $CANDY has:

• Launched transparently via an Initial NFT Offering (INO)

• Deployed liquidity openly

• Built and delivered the Candy Machine dApp

• Completed a structured 2 year token distribution

• Hosted three consecutive Christmas Stocking onboarding events

• Integrated with multiple Hedera-native platforms

• Maintained operational continuity through volatile market cycles

From 2026, $CANDY shifts from infrastructure build to cultural amplification.

It is built for longevity, not a single cycle.
