6.8 Rights bound to responsibility

Each partner-tier NFT couples rights — governance, revenue share, deal-flow priority — to responsibilities on one contract.

6.8 · Rights bound to responsibility

The value of a partner seat is its accountable output, not its title.

Each partner-tier NFT is a partner contract. It binds rights — governance, revenue share, deal-flow priority — to responsibilities — resource introduction, business advancement, evidence submission, and compliance — on one credential. A seat without enforceable duties cannot accrue standing or settle disputes.

What the NFT binds

A partner-tier NFT does two things at once. On one side it grants rights: a governance seat, a share of revenue, and priority in deal flow. On the other it imposes duties: introduce resources, advance the business, submit evidence, and comply with the rules. Both sides live on the same contract, so a partner cannot hold the rights while shedding the duties.

The four duties below define the responsibility side of every partner seat. The participation tiers carry the input and evidence duties without the governance rights.

Resource introductionBring verifiable resources by tier — deal flow, capital, service capacity, distribution, or coordination — rather than empty introductions.
Business advancementMove work forward within the agreed terms: arrange meetings, advance signing, coordinate delivery, and note any delay in the system.
Evidence submissionAfter a loop closes, submit the contract pages, onchain records, and summaries the Proof ledger needs, within the confidentiality rules.
ComplianceFollow the authority, confidentiality, and review rules of the tier; partner statements stay within the authority the seat defines.
If a seat held rights but no duties, WCN would decay into a directory. Proof of Business (PoB) could not trigger settlement, because there would be no evidence to verify.

Behavioral boundaries

No premature claimsA result that is not signed, paid, or evidenced is not recorded as closed; the Proof ledger admits only verified outcomes.
No overreaching endorsementA partner must not imply regulatory approval or a WCN guarantee for something that does not exist, within or beyond its tier.
No shadow executionWork completed off-system leaves no trace and undermines settlement and review; material loops run through the task and PoB channels.
No idle seatSustained output below the tier threshold triggers review, so routing can move to a more productive seat.

A partner seat carries an explicit opportunity cost. While it holds routing priority and a share of revenue, it owes a stated minimum of contribution — introductions, closed loops, and evidence. Binding rights to that floor on one NFT is what keeps the tier scarce.
