4.2 · Complete process
From node entry to settlement completion, every step of WCN has owner, status and output.
This page not only lists the modules, but also connects the modules according to their actual operating logic - from the first second when resources enter the system to the last step when the value is settled. Each stage has an expected timeline, key outputs, and exception handling mechanisms.
process stageThree stages: Resource entry → Execution promotion → Verification and settlement
The first paragraph: Resources enter the system (Day 0-2)
The starting point of system operation is not a form or page, but rather valuable resources are brought into the network by a responsible node.
Project nodeSubmit project information: product stage, financing needs, token situation, target region, and core team. Data enters Project Intake and is entered in a structured manner.
capital nodeRegistered investment preferences: stage (seed/A/B), track (DeFi/AI/RWA/Infra), face value range, regional preference. Preferences are entered into the Capital Profile for subsequent matching.
service nodeEnter execution capabilities: legal affairs, auditing, security, branding, development, research, etc. The capability enters the Service Registry and can be called by Deal.
Regional nodeEnter local network: country/city coverage, industry relationships, regulatory awareness, event resources. Local support for cross-border deals.
Comparison with TradFi: This is equivalent to the CRM entry stage of PE/VC (Pipeline Intake of Pitchbook/DealCloud). The difference is that WCN has established a multi-party collaboration structure from the first step, rather than unilateral internal management.
The second paragraph: Deal and Task advancement (Day 2-14+)
After resources enter the system, they must change from "information" to "workflow".
Deal Room CreationThe system creates a Deal Room for matching opportunities: identifying the deal owner, parties, bill of materials, and milestones. This is not a group chat – everyone has clear roles and responsibilities.
Task DispatchAssign specific tasks to human nodes or agents. Each Task has an owner, deadline, output requirements, and acceptance criteria. There is no "vague explanation".
Execution advancementMeetings, due diligence, material compilation, legal review, contract drafting, growth execution - all actions occur or are recorded within the system. Agent assists in research, minutes, and reminders.
status trackingEach Deal and Task has real-time status (in progress/pending reply/blocked/completed). Execution Agent automatically detects stalls and issues alerts.
Timeline reference: Simple service docking (such as audit requirement matching service provider) may be completed in 3-5 days. Complex financing deals (multiple rounds of meetings, due diligence, legal) typically take 4-8 weeks. WCN does not shorten the complexity of the business itself, but eliminates coordination friction - TradFi's research shows that 30-40% of the time in a typical deal is spent on information synchronization and expediting.
The third paragraph: verification and settlement (3-7 days after deal completion)
After the result is formed, the system switches from execution logic to proof logic.
Evidence packagingDeal Owner submits the result evidence to the Evidence Packet: contract/agreement, payment record, deliverables, on-chain hash, meeting minutes, email confirmation, etc. The type and amount of evidence depends on the Deal type.
Review queueThe evidence package enters the Reviewer Queue. The reviewer checks: material completeness, authenticity, timeline rationality, and risk markers. Reviewers and deal participants cannot overlap (interest avoidance).
Attribution assignmentAfter passing the review, the system assigns attributions to the participants: who recommended (%), who promoted (%), who executed (%), and who reviewed (%). Attribution is based on a chain of evidence, not subjective negotiation.
PoB generation and settlementAfter attribution is confirmed, the business results enter the PoB ledger and become settlement input. PoB is processed in the periodic Settlement Run, and participants receive corresponding value distribution.
Exception handling: when the process is stuck
Real business doesn't always go smoothly. WCN has designed a handling mechanism for each exception:
Deal stalledIf a Deal has no status update for more than a set number of days, the Execution Agent automatically notifies the Deal Owner. Deals that are continuously unresponsive will be marked as Stalled to release the energy of the relevant nodes.
Task timeoutIf the task exceeds the deadline and is not completed, the system automatically upgrades the notification. Task Owner needs to give reasons (delay/blocking/cancellation). Unresponsive Tasks affect node reputation scores.
Insufficient evidenceWhen the reviewer determines that the evidence is incomplete, the evidence package is returned with a list of missing items. Deal Owner has a limited time replenishment. The unfilled Deal returned three times will enter the dispute channel.
attribution controversyWhen multiple parties have objections to the attribution ratio, they will enter the arbitration process: the independent review committee will make the final decision based on the chain of evidence. The ruling results are recorded in the system and form an attribution precedent.
Exception handling is not an auxiliary feature but is key to system trustworthiness. A system that cannot handle failures and disputes will not be trusted in real business. WCN is designed with exception paths as first-class citizens.
Complete flow chart
Resource entry (Day 0-2)→ Deal Room creation + matching (Day 2-3)→ Task allocation and execution (Day 3-14+)→ Result formation (Day N)→ Evidence submitted to Proof Desk (Day N+1)→ Audit and attribution (Day N+3-5)→ PoB generation (Day N+5)→ Cycle settlement (Settlement) Run)
The three-stage process constitutes a complete value chain: resource entry → workflow advancement → result verification and settlement. Each section has clear input, owner, time expectations and exception handling. This is not a theoretical framework - it is an operational system that can be engineered and audited.
