FAQ shortens the cycle of repeated explanations and reduces compliance and reputational risks caused by misunderstandings.
This section summarizes the substantive issues that repeatedly arise during external due diligence, cooperation negotiations, and node access. The answers should be direct and verifiable; conclusions involving specific jurisdictions or individual cases should be based on formal legal opinions and contracts.
positioning and comparison
**What is the essential difference between WCN and a single public chain, Launchpad or traditional FA? **
WCN focuses on multi-role collaboration capital network: nodes, project parties, capital parties and service parties align information and execution under a unified process (such as Deal/Proof), rather than only providing fundraising channels or single transaction matching. The chain and Token (if it exists) are the carrying tools, and the core output of the network is verifiable business collaboration and phased business results.
**Why is WCN not “another DAO”? **
DAO emphasizes the unified paradigm of on-chain governance and treasury voting; WCN emphasizes role-based responsibility boundaries and PoB-driven business authenticity. Governance may exist, but it is not the same proposition as "all members vote to decide every deal"; the specific scope of governance is subject to documents and contracts.
Investors and Capitalists
**Is participating in the network or related vehicles equivalent to purchasing company equity or fixed income products? **
**Not equivalent. **No statement in external materials constitutes an issuance of securities, fund shares or fixed income commitment. Whether it constitutes a regulated financial product depends on the specific structure, jurisdiction and facts; investors should retain their own legal counsel and complete KYC/AML requirements.
**How do funds enter the project? Does WCN hold funds in custody? **
The typical path is determined by the specific deal structure, contracting entities and custody arrangements. The WCN document describes network collaboration and information/proof layer logic, and does not default to the platform hosting all funds. If a product form involves custody, it should be disclosed separately in the product description and contract.
**How will investors know if the roadmap is delayed or the technical roadmap is adjusted? **
Major changes should be disclosed through official announcement channels, Wiki version records, or targeted communication to investors. Forward-looking statements in this document and the white paper are subject to legal statements and do not constitute a guarantee of timetables or results.
Strategy and partners
**What does it usually mean for industry parties to "enter WCN"? **
It usually refers to becoming one of the network participants or node categories under a clear interface (data, brand, customer diversion, joint risk control, etc.), rather than automatically obtaining exclusive rights or internal decision-making rights. Specific rights and obligations are subject to the business agreement and node/cooperation terms.
**How are data and IP divided? **
Default principle: The business data and trademarks provided by each party to the network are still owned by each party, and the network is only used for collaboration, PoB verification and agreed purposes within the scope of authorization. Cross-entity sharing needs to specify the purpose, retention period and secondary processing restrictions in the DPA or attachment.
node candidate
**Does becoming a node guarantee benefits or quotas? **
**Not guaranteed. ** Node obligations, incentives (if any) and access standards are defined by rules and contracts; market fluctuations, project quality and execution risks may cause actual results to be inconsistent with individual case expectations. Any verbal promises of "guaranteed capital" and "stable returns" should not be regarded as official positions.
**What exactly is Node NFT (or similar carrier)? **
In the context of documents, it usually refers to the identity/authority/contribution record carrier associated on or off the chain, and its functions are subject to technical descriptions and legal qualitative documents. It is not an asset class that is free to speculate by default; secondary market and transfer restrictions depend on the terms and applicable laws.
**What three things should you check first before joining? **
- Rules and agreement text (admission, exit, PoB obligations, fees); 2) Real output at the current stage (verifiable users, Deal, Proof samples, not just roadmap); 3) Whether participation in own jurisdiction triggers licensing, tax or securities law issues - local lawyers should be consulted.
Mechanism and risk control
**Can PoB completely prevent fraud or collusion? **
It cannot be claimed to be "completely prevented". PoB is a set of mechanisms that can effectively increase the cost, traces and auditability of counterfeiting. It needs to be combined with manual review, cross-verification of data sources and reputation games. The relevant sections of the white paper and wiki describe the design intent and known limitations.
**How is the responsibility divided when Agent makes mistakes or is abused? **
Agents should run within the boundaries of permissions and logs; the rules specify the responsible party for the final business decision-making and human review process. Automation reduces operating costs, but does not relieve participants of their prudent obligations on key terms and compliance.
Compliance and the data itself
**Do the Wiki, White Paper and Deck constitute a legal offering in any country? **
**Not constituted. ** Information is general in nature and may contain forward-looking statements. Offers of securities or other financial products in regulated jurisdictions are subject to local laws. Any use of this material to solicit conduct that would conflict with applicable law is prohibited.
**Who will prevail if the answer is inconsistent with the white paper? **
The official document with a later date and annotated version shall prevail; if there is still any ambiguity, you should ask for official written clarification instead of relying on the oral FAQ.
The FAQ provides orientation but does not provide legal conclusions on individual cases; any issues such as "whether it is legal" or "whether it constitutes a security" must be given opinions by professional consultants based on the facts and jurisdiction.
