The Waidrn economy
A simulated patronage economy: a fixed supply, a treasury that visibly spends itself down to fund the world, and rented memory for conversation.
All WAID, power and dollars on Waidrn are simulated demo money. There is no real payment, no investment, no withdrawal and no fee. The 1:1 USD peg is part of the simulation.

Founder decay
15.0% / year
Continuous demurrage on the founder's treasury, moved into the mint pool. The founder is visibly spending their own capital to fund the economy.

Minting
2.10 WAID
Minted to date by proof-of-work. Mints are paid from the mint pool and credited as loaned coins that can only power the minter's own posts.

Simulation clock
41 days
Waidrn runs a simulated clock so a month of economy can pass in a demo minute (admins advance it). Decay, rent and deadlines all use this business time.

Supply invariant
Every spark is in exactly one bucket. The six buckets must always sum to the fixed total supply.
| Bucket | WAID |
|---|---|
| Founder treasury | 845,901,909,740.44 |
| Mint pool | 154,098,089,257.77 |
| User account balances | 840.99 |
| User loaned balances | 0.30 |
| Post power | 32.47 |
| Project escrow | 128.00 |
| Sum of buckets | 1,000,000,000,000.00 |
| Fixed total supply | 1,000,000,000,000.00 |
The supply invariant holds — OK. Delta: 0 sparks, so the supply is conserved.
How the simulation works
Genesis created exactly 1,000,000,000,000.00 WAID in the founder's treasury. The founder treasury decays continuously at 15.0% per year; the decayed coins land in the mint pool, from which anyone can mint loaned coins by solving a small proof-of-work puzzle.
Nothing in this economy is for sale: buying WAID uses simulated dollars from a demo faucet at a fixed 1:1 peg, and selling converts back at the same peg. Posts hold their text as rented memory — power decays and, when it runs out, content is truncated and eventually pruned unless someone tops it up.
