THE GLOSSARY

twelve words, said plainly, so no door in this bank is locked by vocabulary

The E coin

The bank's own coin. One coin is one share of the bank's energy work: hold it as your membership, or burn it and the bank owes you a real kilowatt-hour.

in plain words: not a stock, not a bet — a share you can spend as power — minted once per person at the claim, and the weekly mint adds one coin for every metered kilowatt-hour the fleet produces, 1:1, forever — never sold to you

The kilowatt-hour (kWh)

A real, metered unit of energy: the work one 1,000-watt machine does in one hour. It is what a burned coin becomes.

in plain words: the thing your wall socket sells you — the bank delivers it with the meter running

Backing

Every coin stands on a metered kilowatt-hour in the vault's books. The ratio of vault to coins is published live by the bank's backing service — the ratio, never a promise.

in plain words: what stands behind the coin. The bank publishes the ratio; the burn proves it

The split

Every week the fund divides three ways: 45% fills the people's fund, 20% runs the bank's operations, and 35% goes to the world — the World/Land Restoration Fund. The rule is written on the chain, and nobody can edit it.

in plain words: the people 45, the bank 20, the world/land 35 — on-chain, unchangeable — the bank cannot quietly keep more

Citizenship

Claim once, and your name is on the roll forever: one human, one allocation, one share every week, one vote when the bank decides.

in plain words: being a person is the whole requirement — no paperwork, no permission

APY

in plain words: APY is how fast staked coins grow in a year — here the pools pay targets: THE TRICKLE 2% APY, THE STREAM 5% APY, THE CURRENT 8% APY.

lock

in plain words: a lock is coins you set aside for staking — you choose for how long, and the plants pay you while they sit.

burn

in plain words: burning means sending a coin to nowhere on purpose — and the meter then owes and delivers one real kilowatt-hour.

staking

in plain words: staking means setting coins aside so the power plants pay you a weekly slice of what they earn.

power plant

in plain words: a power plant is a real machine with a real meter — it makes the kilowatt-hours every coin stands on.

person-hash

in plain words: your person-hash is a one-way fingerprint of your browser — the bank can count you without ever knowing your name.

the reserve

in plain words: the reserve is the pile of metered kilowatt-hours the bank holds — the thing that stands behind every coin.

THE BRAND KIT

the bank's face, for anyone writing or drawing about it

The coin held high over the carnival of confusion — the media kit's press banner
*AI-generated image* — the press banner: the coin held high over the carnival of confusion — we make fun of the mystery, then we kill it.
THE E COIN — the official logo: the golden phi over the golden-ratio spiral, the meter's waveform, e-COIN, kWh, ENERGY VALUE FREEDOM

The logo is the coin itself — the real mark, shown above, never a stand-in. The golden phi at the center of the golden-ratio spiral, the meter's live waveform running through it, and the coin's law written on its face: e-COIN · kWh · ENERGY · VALUE · FREEDOM — one token = one kilowatt-hour. The color table below belongs to the pages' own accents; the coin's face above is the logo, and it is never redrawn or replaced.

THE REDEMPTION PARTNERS

who turns a burned coin into delivered power

The Vault

The first redemption partner: burn a token, the meter delivers a kWh. No counter sits between a burn and its delivery — the first partner is the vault, and the vault never says no.

The Meters

Eleven meters stand in the fleet: the main vault and the power plants' books. The power plants deliver; the meters never lie.

in plain words: the meters are the proof that the promise kept itself

The Power Plants

Nine running and one in reserve. Plants 1-6 run the original engine; plants 7-9 are the X-class plants - the optimized copy, proven bit-identical, standing many times the old rate (the bench measured 18.2×; the meters are the only count, and they climb as the books fill). Plant 10, also X-class, stands in reserve beside the vault, holding the same promise on standby.

in plain words: the source of every delivered hour — see The Proof for the live map

WHAT DOES THIS COIN DO?

It's a claim on real power. One coin = one kilowatt-hour, delivered by the power plants. Burn one and the meter delivers one. Hold one and the reserve stands behind it. Stake it and the plants pay you weekly.

Power plant staking: you lock coins, the power plants pay you weekly. The pool's meter is the only authority.

KEYS → SEAL → CHAIN → GATE — the four-stage trust over every number

The bank gives. One human. One allocation. One share. Every week.
