## FAQ

**Is this a real cow?**
No. These are 1,000,000 virtual cows living in your browser and our database. No real cows, no real meadow, no real milk.

**What exactly do I get for $1?**
A named cow that turns permanently happy, a personalised adoption certificate (PNG + PDF), a public page for your cow, the right to post updates on its feed, and a gift link to re-gift it.

**How do payments work?**
Cards are processed by Stripe. Crypto users pay exactly $1 in USDT or USDC on TRON, Ethereum, BNB Chain or Polygon — each order gets a unique cent amount (like 1.07) so it can be matched automatically.

**Can I give the cow to someone else?**
Yes. Every adopted cow can be gifted via a link. The recipient claims it with their own name and the cow moves into their barn.

**Is this a charity?**
No. It is a novelty digital gift — a bit of joy, a silly certificate, and a story to tell.
