6.4 · Founding Partner

Founding Partner is a permanent global governance seat. The cap is 100, and it is never re-issued.

The Founding Partner is the apex partner tier of the Web3 Capital Network (WCN). The cap is 100 seats at USD 500,000 each. Each seat is a permanent global governance seat, bound to one NFT, and never re-issued. The tier sets the standing floor for the whole structure.

What the Founding Partner holds

A Founding Partner holds one of at most 100 permanent governance seats in WCN. The seat is global in scope, not tied to a country, a city, or a track. The price is USD 500,000. The supply is fixed: once the 100 seats are taken, the tier is never re-issued.

Like every partner tier, the seat is a partner contract on one NFT. It couples rights — governance, revenue share, deal-flow priority — to responsibilities — resource introduction, business advancement, evidence submission, and compliance. The Founding Partner sits at the top of that structure.

Permanent governance seatA standing voice in protocol-level governance, held for the life of the network rather than a term.

Fixed, scarce supplyThe cap is 100 seats. The tier is never re-issued, so the share of governance cannot be diluted by later issuance.

Global scopeThe seat spans the whole network, above the country, city, and track tiers, rather than coordinating one market.

Bound to one NFTRights and duties travel with the credential on ERC-721 plus ERC-6551, alongside the partner's account and record.

What a Founding Partner holds is not a market. It is a permanent, accountable seat in the governance of WCN, scarce by design and bound to the duties every partner tier carries.

How the partner tiers stack

The Founding Partner sits above the three coordinating partner tiers. Each lower tier holds a defined scope and a defined right within the same structure.

Founding PartnerGlobal and permanent. Up to 100 seats at USD 500,000, each a governance seat that is never re-issued.

Country PartnerOne partner per country. 50–65 seats, USD 50,000–500,000, with 5–10% of that country's protocol-layer revenue.

City PartnerOne partner per city. 150–300 seats, USD 20,000–100,000, owning local deal flow.

Track PartnerOne partner per track. 20–25 seats, USD 50,000–300,000, the cross-geography global representative.

A Founding Partner may also hold a coordinating seat — for example a Country or Track Partner — under a separate credential. The governance seat and the coordination role stay distinct, so rights and conflicts remain disclosed in the system.
