6.9 Participation tiers

Service Provider and Standard Node: professional service and open access, with no governance seat, on ERC-721 plus ERC-6551.

6.9 · Participation tiers

Two participation tiers: professional service and open access, without a governance seat.

Below the four partner tiers, the Web3 Capital Network (WCN) admits two participation tiers. The Service Provider holds 200–500 seats at USD 30,000 across 12 service categories. The Standard Node has an open cap at USD 5,000 for basic participation. Neither tier holds a governance seat.

The two participation tiers

Participation tiers provide capability or access without governance. A Service Provider supplies professional service; a Standard Node holds an open, entry-level place. Both carry the input and evidence duties of a node, but neither holds a governance seat or a revenue share, which remain with the partner tiers.

Service Provider200–500 seats. USD 30,000. Professional-capability service nodes across 12 categories — for example legal, audit, security, development, branding, and research.
Standard NodeOpen cap. USD 5,000. Open application for basic participation, the entry point into the network.
The participation tiers widen the base of the structure. They add capability and access without diluting governance, which the partner tiers hold under their own contracts.

How participation tiers carry their accounts

The Standard Node uses the ERC-721 plus ERC-6551 (Token Bound Account) standard. The token binds the seat; the bound account lets each node hold its own account and performance record under the same credential. The Service Provider follows the same node structure with a defined service scope.

Token-bound accountERC-6551 gives each node an account under its NFT, so its record travels with the credential rather than a separate profile.
Performance recordVerified outcomes and evidence accumulate against the node, building a record the routing layer can read.
Open applicationA Standard Node enters by open application, the lowest barrier to participation in the network.
Defined service scopeA Service Provider holds one of 12 service categories, so its capability is legible to the partners that route work to it.

How the tiers fit together

Partner tiers aboveFounding, Country, City, and Track Partners hold governance, revenue share, and deal-flow priority under partner contracts.
Participation tiers belowService Provider and Standard Node supply capability and access, carrying input and evidence duties without governance.
One shared standardEvery tier binds to an NFT on ERC-721 plus ERC-6551, so each node carries its own account and record.
One accountable graphAcross both classes, every verified outcome attaches to a seat, so the Proof ledger can name who did the work.

A node can move within the structure as its contribution grows — for example a Service Provider that later takes a partner-tier seat under a separate credential. The governance rights stay with the partner tiers, so widening the base never dilutes the seats above it.
