Genesis

Genesis is the live launch phase of NEUS. During this phase:

  1. Early supporters who participate receive permanent recognition and access across the ecosystem.

  2. There is a fixed, seven‑day mint window for the Genesis Pass.

Key Principles

  • Recognition First: Honors early participation and support with permanent on-chain records

  • Proof-Based Access: Grants ecosystem access through verifiable proofs, not NFT ownership alone

  • Community Foundation: Establishes the inaugural participants to help drive the future of NEUS

Ways to Participate

  • Create a Proof of Support: Publish a portable, verifiable Proof to join the ledger of early supporters. Top contributors may get an additional special badge.

  • Mint the Genesis Pass: Soulbound recognition that auto-creates a verified NEUS proof.

  • Explore the Proof Viewer: Browse and share proof pages.

All paths land in the same ecosystem:

  1. Proofs are the access primitive

  2. Pass minting issues a proof for you.

Participation & Hub Access

  • Access rule (Genesis): To be included in the Genesis campaign and unlock your Hub profile dashboard, you must have a Proof of Support or Genesis Pass NFT.

  • Two paths: Create a Proof of Support or mint the Pass during the 7‑day window.

  • Public accountability: Support and NFT proofs are publicly visible and verifiable for governance and attribution. Other proofs retain standard privacy controls.

What You Get

Core Benefits

  • Permanent Recognition: On-chain record of your participation

  • Proof-Based Access: Automatic generation of a proof on mint

  • Ecosystem Priority: Day-one access to NEUS features and integrations

  • Community Status: Priority eligibility for community engagement

Access Tiers (Post‑Genesis)

  • Genesis Pass (NFT): Perpetual ecosystem feature access after Genesis; eligibility for future pilots and early features. Access/utility framing (not an investment).

  • Proof of Support: Full access during Genesis. After Genesis, access may be limited to baseline features; upgrade paths (e.g., pass or successor programs) will be available. Final scopes may evolve via community‑aligned policy.

Hub Beta & Community

  • Community-led beta: This campaign builds the initial users who will help shape the Hub. Participants test features, provide feedback, and influence rollout priorities.

  • Voting & input: During Genesis, we will collect community input on features, functionality, and verifier priorities. Processes and scopes evolve with policy; details announced progressively.

  • Beta access: Genesis Pass holders receive Hub beta access when it begins. Proof of Support participants receive priority access at a later public opening if they choose not to mint.

Contributions & Leaderboard

  • End-of-Genesis rollup: A public leaderboard will highlight participating wallets by meaningful contribution and impact (e.g., created proofs, SDK/API integrations, verifier diversity).

  • Transparency report: We will publish an aggregate summary of campaign support directed toward protocol infrastructure and operations during Genesis.

  • Recognition only: No financial rights are implied. Future governance and token matters are separate, staged, and announced if/when appropriate.


Frequently Asked Questions

  • What is the Genesis Campaign? A 7‑day open mint recognizing early supporters and bootstrapping proof‑based access.

  • What chain is this on? Base (mainnet).

  • Do I need ETH to mint? Yes—0.05 ETH plus gas.

  • Can I transfer my Genesis Pass? Not during Genesis; the pass is soulbound for reputation integrity.

  • Is this an investment? No—recognition and access only; no financial promises.

  • What’s the difference between Proof of Support and the Genesis Pass? Proof of Support unlocks access during Genesis and community inclusion; post‑Genesis it may be limited to baseline features. The Genesis Pass grants a perpetual feature access tier after Genesis (utility/access only), with eligibility for future pilots and early features.
