WATT Network Model

01 / Yield Flywheel

1. Users burn WATT + pay an SOL fee to open virtual desks (Equity or Treasury Desks).
2. Every mint burns 70% of the WATT cost to the burn wallet, routing the other 30% into the treasury wallet. Portfolio upgrades and allocations split their WATT cost 50/30/20 burn / reserve / treasury.
3. A halving emission curve (E₀ = 20.7 WATT/sec, halves every 14 days) distributes WATT from the 50M reserve. The rate is derived from the reserve rather than fixed, so the schedule spends it exactly and can never promise WATT the protocol does not hold. Each user earns a share proportional to their yield power, capped at 30% per user to prevent lottery-in-thin-network wins.
4. Under v2 accrual, both Equity Desks and Treasury Desks accrue $WATT per second out of that reserve. Progression is wallet-wide: portfolio upgrades (WATT + 0.00001 SOL, 12h cooldown) raise your Portfolio Level, unlocking more desk slots, more daily allocations, and higher rarity pools. Treasury Desks add bonus desk slots at L5+.
5. Protocol SOL revenue (transfer fee (2%) + DEX LP fees (2%)) flows to the treasury ops budget — it funds infrastructure, not user rewards. User accrual is WATT-only from the halving reserve.

05 / WATT Emission Clock

Global WATT emission follows a Bitcoin-style halving curve. Starting at E₀ = 20.7 WATT/sec at genesis, the rate halves every 14 days until the reserve is fully paid out.

E(t) = E₀ × 0.5 ^ (t / 14 days)

Day   0 :   20.7 WATT/sec  (1.8M/day)
Day  14 :   10.3 WATT/sec  (892,857/day, 50% of lifetime emitted)
Day  28 :    5.2 WATT/sec  (446,429/day, 75% of lifetime emitted)
Day  42 :    2.6 WATT/sec  (223,214/day, 88% of lifetime emitted)
Day 93 : ~0            (99% emitted — tail is negligible)

Lifetime emission = 50M WATT — exactly the 5% of the 1B supply held in the Emission Reserve. The remaining 950M (95%) is public float that trades on the Flap curve. Supply is fixed at launch — the token contract has no mint function, so no new WATT can ever be created.

Each user earns a proportional share of each second’s emission:

user_rate = min(user_gp / total_network_gp, 30%) × E(t) × welcome_boost

user_gp = Σ componentMult for each node (Formula D: base × Π rarityBoost)

A 30% per-user share cap prevents lucky-in-thin-network lottery wins, keeping the experience fair across network sizes.

05B / New-Fund Accelerator

New users receive an 8× share multiplier that linearly decays to 1× over their first 72 hours. This is critical for latecomers joining mid-cycle when the halving curve has already decayed.

boost(elapsed) = 1 + 7 × max(0, 1 − elapsed / 72h)

Hour 0  : 8.00×
Hour 24 : 5.67×
Hour 48 : 3.33×
Hour 72 : 1.00× (boost expired)

The boost applies from your first mint. Separately, the one-time welcome stipend unlocks only after reaching Portfolio L4 — that gate is what stops $100 × 10 alt-wallets from draining the welcome allocation.

05C / Reserve Safety Interlock

Orthogonal to the halving, a runway-based throttle factor f ∈ [0, 1] protects against pathological drain on legacy flat-rate families (not used for WATT under the halving model, but retained for any future secondary-asset families):

runwayDays = reserveBalance / unconstrainedDailyBurn

runway ≥ 45d  →  f = 1.0      (healthy)
14d → 45d     →  f 0.7 → 1.0  (gentle)
7d  → 14d     →  f 0.3 → 0.7  (notable)
3d  → 7d      →  f 0   → 0.3  (emergency)
≤ 3d          →  f = 0        (halted)

Under the halving model for WATT, the emission reserve is pre-minted and cannot deplete beyond lifetime emission, so f = 1.0 effectively always. When paused by admin, f is forced to 0 across all families.

06 / Portfolio Tiers

Progression is wallet-wide. Each portfolio level unlocks more desk slots per family, a higher daily allocation limit, and pricier allocations. Upgrades cost WATT (split 50/30/20 burn / reserve / treasury) + 0.00001 SOL, on a 12h cooldown (0.005 SOL expedite skips it). Treasury Desks get bonus desk slots on top: +2 at L5, +3 at L7, +4 at L9. Rarity pools unlock by level too — Legendary at L4, Mythic at L6, Divine at L8.
