Historical OS-tan character designs belong to their artists. Netrunner, Deja Vu, and others have claimed pieces of that history; those fights are documented on Controversies, not relitigated as if we owned the girls. We do not ship OSC artwork as our brand.
OS TAN is the only face this project claims.
$OSTAN is not listed. There is no contract. A random OSTAN, OS-TAN, or CARET token on any chain is not this project unless the address matches System Properties on os-tan.com.
