Genesis & Allocation

Genesis Overview

The NOORCHAIN genesis defines the maximum issuance capacity of the protocol, the initial allocation structure, and controlled network parameters. Application-layer PoSS parameters, including recognition and participation-accounting models, remain subject to governance review and are not presented as yield or investment returns.

Genesis Documents

The figures and rules on this page are drawn from the published genesis corpus. Each document is available in full:

Maximum Supply

299,792,458 NUR is a hard cap: the maximum issuance capacity of the protocol across all future PoSS eras and halving cycles. It is not a pre-minted pool sitting in a wallet.

Only 20% exists at genesis, in the allocated pools below. The remaining 80% does not exist yet: it can enter circulation only through PoSS issuance, one validated contribution at a time. Because the issuance budget halves at each era, the cap is approached over time and is not expected to be reached.

Genesis Structure

The genesis follows a permanent 5 / 5 / 5 / 5 / 80 structure. Four allocated pools, and one reserve that is mintable rather than allocated:

  • 5% - Foundation Reserve (14,989,622.9 NUR). Governance, audits, public infrastructure, transparency.
  • 5% - Noor Dev Sàrl (14,989,622.9 NUR). Engineering, integrations, infrastructure, tooling.
  • 5% - PoSS Stimulus (14,989,622.9 NUR). Early onboarding for NGOs, schools and curator networks.
  • 5% - Pre-sale Pool (optional) (14,989,622.9 NUR). Strictly private, Swiss-compliant, pre-mainnet.
  • 80% - PoSS Mintable Reserve (239,833,966.4 NUR). Not allocated to anyone and not held by anyone. It is the long-term issuance envelope, and the only source from which new tokens may enter circulation, exclusively through the PoSS issuance rules and the halving schedule.

The 5 / 5 / 5 / 5 / 80 model is a protocol-level rule. It cannot be changed by governance, upgrade, multisig, or parameter change. These categories are not presented as a public offering, yield program, custody service, or investment return.

Governance Principles

Genesis governance defines the foundational framework for NOORCHAIN:

  • A hard cap that no issuance path may exceed, and an immutable 5 / 5 / 5 / 5 / 80 structure.
  • Tokens are created when a contribution is recognised, never released from a pre-minted reserve.
  • Application-layer allocation parameters remain subject to governance review.
  • Curator validation and participation accounting follow reviewable rules.
  • Parameters are intended to be traceable and auditable through controlled review.
