### 📌 **KOTAI Project ICO Closure Criteria**

The ICO (Initial Coin Offering) of the KOTAI Project may be closed once one or more of the following criteria are met:

* A minimum fundraising amount of **US$ 3,500,000** (three million five hundred thousand dollars) from participants' investments;
* The sale of 1**0,000 Diamond Plans**, which are the most complete and advantageous investment packages offered;
* The sale of 372,485,621,548 **Billion KOTAI tokens**
* The passage of **12 months** from the official ICO launch date, even if the other milestones have not yet been reached.

### ❗**What happens when the ICO ends?**

* No new investments will be accepted.
* All unsold KOTAI tokens will be **permanently burned**, meaning they will be removed from the total supply forever — potentially increasing the value of the tokens already in circulation.
