|
|
|
|
**Status:** DRAFT
|
|
**Category:** L1 Monetary Mechanics
|
|
**Author:** Markus Maiwald
|
|
**Co-Author:** Claude (Anthropic)
|
|
**Date:** 2026-02-04
|
|
**Depends On:** RFC-0648 (Hamiltonian Dynamics), RFC-0630 (TBT), RFC-0100 (Entropy)
|
|
**Supersedes:** Validator-based minting, Universal Basic Income, Pure laissez-faire

> **Money is not gifted. Money is earned through work.**
|

|

## 1. THE SYNTHESIS
|
|
|
|
Combining the best of three approaches:
|
|
|
|
| Source | Contribution |
|
|
|--------|--------------|
|
|
| **Ansatz 1** (Passive) | Argon2d simplicity; no validators |
|
|
| **Ansatz 2** (POE) | PID Enshrined; Base Fee Burn |
|
|
| **Ansatz 3** (Swarm) | Emergence philosophy; Multi-Token |
|
|
|
|
**Result:** Emergent Protocol-Owned Emission (EPOE)
|

## 2. THE FOUR PILLARS
|
|
|
|
### 2.1 Pillar I: Injection (Opportunity Windows)
|
|
|
|
**When:** V < V_target (Stagnation)
|
|
**Mechanism:**
|
|
```rust
|
|
fn on_velocity_drop(state: &mut State) {
|
|
// Difficulty drop = cheaper to mint
|
|
state.argon2d_difficulty *= 0.9;
|
|
|
|
// Opportunity Multiplier = more rewarding
|
|
state.mint_multiplier = 1.5; // 50% bonus
|
|
|
|
// Time-limited window
|
|
state.mint_window_expires = now() + 24h;
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
**Key Insight:**
|
|
- NOT: "Here is free money" (Universal Dividend)
|
|
- BUT: "Work is now cheaper AND more rewarding"
|
|
- WHO MINTS: Anyone with valid SoulKey
|
|
- COST: Argon2d proof (real work, not free)
|
|
|
|
**Radical Left Capitalism:**
|
|
> The market regulates, but the rules are set so stagnation automatically opens opportunities for the base.
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
### 2.2 Pillar II: Extraction (Double Brake)
|
|
|
|
**When:** V > V_target (Overheating)
|
|
**Mechanism:**
|
|
```rust
|
|
fn on_velocity_spike(state: &mut State) {
|
|
// Active transactors pay
|
|
state.base_fee *= 1.1; // EIP-1559 style burn
|
|
|
|
// Passive hoarders pay
|
|
state.demurrage_rate = 0.001; // 0.1% per epoch
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
**Double Pressure:**
|
|
1. **Transactions** = more expensive (Base Fee)
|
|
2. **Hoarding** = costly (Demurrage on stagnant tokens)
|
|
|
|
**Result:** Money MUST move or it decays.
|
|

|
### 2.3 Pillar III: Anti-Sybil (Larval Bootstrap)
|
|
|
|
**Genesis (One-time):**
|
|
```rust
|
|
struct SoulKey {
|
|
genesis_entropy: EntropyStamp, // Argon2d proof
|
|
created_at: Epoch,
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
- Cost: ~1 minute of CPU
|
|
- Prevents spam account creation
|
|
|
|
**Maintenance (Continuous):**
|
|
```rust
|
|
fn qualify_for_mint_window(soul: &SoulKey) -> bool {
|
|
// Must have genesis
|
|
if soul.genesis_entropy.is_none() { return false; }
|
|
|
|
// Must be maintained
|
|
if soul.maintenance_debt > THRESHOLD { return false; }
|
|
|
|
// Kenya Rule: 1 proof per month
|
|
// Tragbar on mobile phone
|
|
true
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
- Cost: ~10 seconds of CPU per month
|
|
- Prevents "sleeper armies"
|
|
|
|
**No Identity Oracle needed.** Proof-of-work IS the identity.
|
|

|
|
|
|
### 2.4 Pillar IV: Controller (Enshrined PID)
|
|
|
|
**Hard Protocol Caps (Immutable):**
|
|
```rust
|
|
const PROTOCOL_FLOOR: f64 = -0.05; // Max 5% deflation
|
|
const PROTOCOL_CEILING: f64 = 0.20; // Max 20% inflation
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
**Chapter Sovereignty (Tunable):**
|
|
```rust
|
|
fn compute_delta_m(chapter: &Chapter, velocity: f64) -> f64 {
|
|
let epsilon = chapter.v_target - velocity;
|
|
|
|
// Chapter tunes their own PID
|
|
let raw = chapter.k_p * epsilon
|
|
+ chapter.k_i * integral(epsilon)
|
|
+ chapter.k_d * derivative(epsilon);
|
|
|
|
// But protocol caps are ABSOLUTE
|
|
clamp(raw, PROTOCOL_FLOOR, PROTOCOL_CEILING)
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
**Enshrined:**
|
|
- No admin key
|
|
- No DAO override
|
|
- Math only
|
|
- Caps in L1 kernel
|

## 4. KENYA COMPLIANCE
|
|
|
|
| Constraint | EPOE Solution |
|
|
|------------|---------------|
|
|
| No wallet | Argon2d = wallet (CPU only) |
|
|
| No internet | OPQ queuing for mint proofs |
|
|
| Solar dropout | Maintenance debt accumulates gracefully |
|
|
| Feature phone | 10-second Argon2d possible on low-end |
|
|
| No KYC | Proof-of-work IS identity |
