Questions, answered straight.

No. Genesis Protocol tokens do not exist and are not sold. No token is created before public testnet completion, independent audits, and legal review.

No. It is a sovereign L1 with its own validator set, finality, and upgrades, built on Cosmos SDK + CometBFT.

Single-block and deterministic. A committed block is final, no confirmation counting, no reorgs of settled history. Wallets, exchanges, and agents act on one block.

50% of every transaction fee, 5% of every work bounty, and periodic module-fee conversions, all destroyed to a provably unspendable address. The burn counter is public and on-chain.

A 0–1000 on-chain reputation computed from observed behavior, validating, working, repaying, governing. Identity bonds give it real cost; inactivity decays it. Its first uses are better solver routing and worker opportunities; undercollateralized lending follows post-mainnet.

No. A validator baseline is modest: 4+ vCPU, 8 GB RAM, 100 GB SSD, a stable public IP, plus a 1000 GEN self-delegation. Full nodes run on ordinary VPS hardware. If you have a GPU and spare cycles, the Workbench turns that into work-market income.

We publish targets, not hype: 500–1,000 tx/s for simple transfers is the mainnet design point, verified by a multi-node load harness before launch, no speculative numbers before then. Finality is the sharper number: one block, deterministic. The block gas limit is 60M gas per 2s block on devnet.

No. The protocol has no LLM component, consensus, execution, and scoring are deterministic software. Agents are certified, hash-committed software builds with on-chain identity, stake, permissions, and human-liable operators.

Sentinel, a certified agent with pause-only authority, trips a circuit breaker on stalls, downtime spikes, oracle deviation, fee-flow anomalies, or spam, with hysteresis so one blip never pauses anything. Only governance un-pauses.

Gates, not dates. Every phase exits through acceptance criteria. A missed gate stops the line, schedule pressure never overrides it.

The public testnet opens after the devnet stability gate and external audits. Validators will register via genesisctl and join the set, onboarding guide and faucet ship with it. Watch for the announcement.

Further along than the word 'devnet' usually implies: a sovereign chain producing ~2s blocks with working EVM transactions, the full fee-split and conversion engine cycling live, ten-plus native modules running, four certified agents operating on-chain with a public activity feed, a working browser wallet, and a public monorepo where the whole history, including real bugs and their fixes, is readable. What is not done yet: multi-node scale, external validator set, independent audits, and anything token-related.

It is enforceable scarcity with a public receipt. GEN has a fixed 1B cap with mint disabled; GENX supply falls through three mechanisms, 50% of every tx fee, 5% of every work bounty, and the agent-run conversion of module fees, all verifiable on-chain in real time. Compare that to emissions-driven chains where 'burn' is a marketing line item: here the sink is the protocol's own settlement path.

Contracts are passive, they wait. Agents act: they watch, convert, inspect, and respond block by block, under on-chain identity, escrowed stake, hash-committed builds, scoped permissions, and a human operator who is liable for them. Anything irreversible requires a second, independently-built agent to co-sign. Smart contracts gave us 'code is law'; certified agents give us 'code with a license, a deposit, and a supervisor'.

On-chain governance, from day one of design. The fee split (50/30/15/5) and the 1B GEN cap are consensus-critical: changing them requires a governance proposal and a recorded decision, not a commit. Sentinel can pause but never modify; agents can convert but never redirect; only governance can un-pause or change parameters.

Don't take our word for it, that is the point of the design. The chain is running: watch blocks, burns, and agent activity live on the Devnet page. The code is public: every module, agent, and client in one monorepo. The decisions are recorded: architecture choices and their reasoning are in the public repo's decision log. When we are wrong, the fix and the reason are public too.

There is nothing to invest in yet, no token exists, none is sold, and nothing here is an offer of securities. What you can evaluate today is the engineering: a live chain, working economics, and public code. Any future token conversation happens only after public testnet, independent audits, and legal review, and it will be governed by the same 'gates, not dates' discipline as everything else.
