Genesis Block Configuration Specification v1.0

Last updated: June 2026 | Public Release v1.0

Formal Genesis State Definition

1. Genesis Block Overview

This document defines the exact, immutable configuration of the ANCORA mainnet genesis block (block height 0). All parameters defined herein are encoded into the genesis state at network launch and form the permanent foundation of the network.

2. Core Genesis Parameters

3. Genesis Token Allocation

At block height 0, the entire 100 trillion ANC supply is minted and allocated to the following immutable vault contracts:

No other addresses receive any token allocation at genesis. No founder, team, investor, or pre-allocation addresses exist.

4. Genesis Validator Set

The initial genesis validator set consists of 100 geographically distributed bootstrap validators:

Minimum stake per genesis validator: 1,000,000 ANC

Geographic distribution: 30% North America, 25% Europe, 20% Asia, 15% LATAM, 10% MEA

Cloud provider diversity: No single provider exceeds 20% of genesis set

All genesis validators undergo independent security audit before launch

Genesis validators have no special privileges or additional rewards beyond standard validator incentives.

5. Genesis Contract Deployment

The following immutable smart contracts are deployed at genesis:

Vesting Contract: Manages 50-year linear release for reserve and user grants

Treasury Contract: Manages released reserve fund disbursement

Governance Contract: Proposal, voting, and execution system

Slashing Contract: Validator misbehavior penalty enforcement

DID Registry Contract: Decentralized identity registration and management

Supply Proof Contract: Aggregate supply verification and audit system

All genesis contracts are deployed with no owner key, no admin functionality, and no upgrade mechanism.

6. Genesis Supply Commitment

The genesis block includes the initial Supply Commitment Tree root, mathematically proving total supply equals exactly 100 trillion ANC with zero additional issuance. This root is verified by all nodes before chain initialization.
