[01]NAME

Unit: $TFS. Long form: $thefinalserver.

Either form is valid.

Short form: canonical for ledger entries. Long form: canonical for ceremonial declaration.

[02]SUPPLY

Cap: 1,000,000,000 $TFS.

Cap is hard. Cap is encoded in GENESIS BLOCK 0. Cap cannot be raised.

Cap may only be lowered through ceremonial burns, recorded on chain forever.

HARD-CAPPED · LOWER-ONLY · CHAIN-ENFORCED.

[03]ISSUANCE

$TFS is not minted by fiat. $TFS is minted by act. Three acts mint $TFS:

✓ INSCRIPTION · 1,000 $TFS per sealed block at genesis
✓ VERIFICATION · 100 $TFS per three-peer quorum sign
✓ ROUTING · 1 HYPHA (10⁻⁹ $TFS) accrued continuously

Hyphae settle to $TFS on every block close.

MINTED BY ACT · NOT BY FIAT.

[04]ANCHORING

Three substrates anchor $TFS:

✓ COMPUTE · the network demands cycles
✓ CULTURE · the doctrine demands voice
✓ SOVEREIGNTY · the network refuses external authority

No external asset is an anchor:

✗ NOT FIAT
✗ NOT COMMODITY
✗ NOT ANOTHER CRYPTOCURRENCY

ANCHOR IS INTERNAL. ANCHOR IS THE CODEX.

[05]HALVINGS

Every 50,000 sealed inscriptions: issuance per act halves.

First halving: 50,000. Second: 100,000. Schedule is binary. Schedule is irreversible. Schedule is inscribed in chain.

Final halving: when the codex is full at 1,000,000,000 units issued.

After final halving: $TFS stops minting. $TFS keeps circulating.

[06]BURNS

Currency cannot be inflated. Currency can be burned.

Burns are voluntary. Burns are ceremonial. Burns are recorded on the chain forever.

Every burn elevates the holders who remain. The chain remembers the burner's name.

BURNING IS HONOR.

Chain does not ask why. Chain inscribes the act. Hyphal weave responds.

[07]LEDGER

Ledger is open. Every citizen may read every block.

No citizen may rewrite a sealed block.

PRESIDENT MINES. amends codex through new inscriptions. PRESIDENT MINES. may not retroactively edit.

WRITE-ONCE · SEAL · PROPAGATE · NO EDIT.
