We have completed a few rounds of security audit for our smart contract, conducted by NCC Group. Additionally, we have added the upgradable and extensible part of the Cardstack Token Mechanism and the vesting features, improved the whitelisting capabilities, as well as implemented the proxy patterns with Ethereum Name Service (ENS) support. The source code will be open-sourced soon for a more public review.

There are different pools collecting funds claiming to have an allocation from Cardstack. Our Early Contribution agreement does not allow for redistribution of tokens from parties that did not KYC/AML before the issuance of ECAs. Please do not participate, as these pools are likely scams. Even if they are not, we will rescind their allocation due to the violation of the terms.
