Admission tests what an applicant will bring and bear, not what it can pay.
A node in the Web3 Capital Network (WCN) is an accountable position, not an identity bought with a fee. The structure has six tiers, each with a seat cap and a price range. Admission tests one thing: can the applicant bring resources, advance collaboration, submit evidence, and comply. Partner tiers bind those duties to rights in a single contract.
The six-tier partner structure
The structure holds six tiers. The first four are partner tiers, where one NFT binds rights to responsibility. The last two are participation tiers.
| Tier | Kind | Seat cap | Price (USD) | Role |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Founding | Partner | 100 | 500,000 | Global, permanent governance seat; never re-issued |
| Country | Partner | 50–65 | 50,000–500,000 | One partner per country; exclusive coordination; 5–10% of that country's protocol-layer revenue |
| City | Partner | 150–300 | 20,000–100,000 | One partner per city; local Deal Flow |
| Track | Partner | 20–25 | 50,000–300,000 | One partner per track; global representation across geographies |
| Service Provider | Participation | 200–500 | 30,000 | Twelve classes of professional service node |
| Standard | Participation | open | 5,000 | Open application for base participation |
Country pricing by tier
Country seats are priced by market. The price range above resolves through five bands.
| Band | Representative markets | Price (USD) |
|---|---|---|
| S | United States, mainland China (handled separately) | 500,000 |
| A | Singapore, Hong Kong, United Kingdom, Japan, Germany | 300,000 |
| B | South Korea, France, Canada, Australia, India, Brazil | 200,000 |
| C | Mexico, Indonesia, Vietnam, Thailand, Turkey, the Philippines | 100,000 |
| D | Other emerging markets | 50,000 |
The four duties of any node
A node is not an ordinary account. It is the unit that routes resources, advances business, and carries risk. Every tier accepts four duties.
Who is not admitted
A seat is a position, not a purchase
A seat is non-permanent. Renewal depends on contribution and compliance. A node that brings nothing faces review and exit.
The admission test reduces to two questions: what verifiable resource can the applicant bring, and what auditable duty will it accept.
