└─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘1. PoW Mining Rewards
WL is issued as rewards for Proof-of-Work mining, securing the WorldLand network.
| Parameter | Value |
|---|---|
| Block Reward | 20 WL per block |
| Block Time | 10 seconds |
| Daily Issuance | ~172,800 WL |
| Monthly Issuance | ~5,184,000 WL |
Block Reward Distribution:
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Miner: 80% (16 WL)
Treasury: 20% (4 WL)
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━Treasury Funding
A fixed 20% of each block reward flows to the Ecosystem Treasury, creating direct funding from chain security to long-term ecosystem development.
2. Transaction Fees (Gas)
WL is used to pay gas fees for all on-chain transactions.

WL holders participate in protocol governance.
Governance Scope
| Area | Examples |
|---|---|
| Consensus Parameters | ECCVCC difficulty adjustment, block stability |
| Verification Parameters | Audit rates, challenge windows, response deadlines |
| Fee Policy | Gas pricing, service fee structures |
| Treasury Policy | Budget allocation, grants, security spending |
Upgrade Policy
All protocol upgrades follow an on-chain governance process:
Proposal → Review → Vote → Timelocked Activation- Parameter changes treated separately from code upgrades
- Emergency actions narrowly scoped with post-incident ratification
- Stakeholder time to evaluate and react to changes
Utility Summary
| Utility | Who Benefits | Frequency |
|---|---|---|
| Mining Rewards | Miners | Every block (10s) |
| Gas Fees | All users | Every transaction |
| Service Fees | Customers & Providers | Per service usage |
| Governance | All holders | Per proposal |
