## About

VOW is operated by the Vow Ecosystem Foundation, registered in Jersey. Terminology note: v$ and purchasing power are "distributed", never "issued". Voucher Currency units (v$, v€, v£, v₹) are transferable rights to a discount on a future purchase at participating merchants — not payment instruments, electronic money, or stablecoins.
