-`xenor-site` is the canonical publication surface for launch-critical contract

+## Verification & Trust
+
+`xenor-site` is the canonical source of truth for all launch-critical contract
+information.
+
+The contract address is only valid when it appears here and is marked as
+`Verified`.
+
+Do not rely on any external source for token addresses unless it is confirmed
+here.
+
+Social posts may announce updates, but they are not the final authority.
+
+Users should verify information here before acting.
+
+## Security Notice
+
+XENOr does not distribute tokens via direct messages, private channels, or
+unofficial links.
+
+XENOr does not run private token distribution through DMs or private channels.
+
+Any such message should be considered malicious.
+
+## Token Definition (Minimal)
+
+The token is a public utility surface for system interaction and a single
+canonical on-chain reference once deployment and verification are complete.
+
+The token is not a guarantee of profit or financial return. It is not a promise
+of returns.
+
+## Canonical Update Flow
+
+All launch-critical updates follow this sequence:
+
+1. `xenor-site` is updated with the current deployment state.
+2. Contract verification is confirmed.
+3. Public announcements are made.
