What is Anti-Scam Token (AST)?
Anti-Scam Token was originally created out of the ashes of a scam project (https://uniswap.info/token/0x34ac258f.... Forking this project (which was itself a fork of SHUF) to make our own, we have created a community driven project with the primary objective of helping to reduce the damage scammers inflict upon the Uniswap community by helping to educate people about scams. The liquidity pool tokens we received from the initial 7 ETH injection was sent to the burn address (https://etherscan.io/tx/0xc9719924232...) - thus we can NEVER rug AST holders, like the scam project rugged us. We want AST to be the go to place to discuss current suspicious projects, to learn about past scams as well as methods used by scammers currently. Together, we can help each other avoid losing our hard earned ETH to those who prey upon on our community.

In addition to this goal, the AST token has several features that synergize well together and reward members of the community who help research and vote on projects. Holders can earn more AST via staking and/or a lotto system, and there is a burn on transaction so the supply is constantly shrinking - currently ~20% of the supply has been burned!

Finally, AST has secured auditing contracts with both LID & LOCK. 50% of the funds raised from these audits will be used to buyback AST from the market. The ETH/AST raised from these audits will then be used to help grow the community, reward token holders and help continue to provide education to the Uniswap community.

Token Mechanics:
2% Burned every tx
2% Distributed Randomly to 1 address in the top 100 holders.
5% Fee on Staking/Unstaking, distributed to STT holders. Staking AST gives you STT, which is 1:1 redeemable with AST (not including the 5% fee).
STT can be used to list projects for voting by the community to determine if it is a scam or not with the dapp. Earn STT by researching and voting correctly on projects listed.
