First-Hand Testing Notes

Bonus Bandit hasn't completed a first-hand redemption + KYC cycle on Stake yet. When we do, documented timing lands here. Until then this score leans on catalog + complaint data, which is why its confidence is lower. Our testing method is in the methodology, and the KYC setup guide covers the documents we use.

Non-Compensatory Gates

No catastrophic-finding gates were triggered for Stake. Gates (systematic redemption refusal, KYC weaponization, family exit scam, undisclosed owner) cap the score regardless of other factors β€” see the methodology.
