| claim | internet-finance | COAL's Meta-PoW design forces all tool crafting through INGOT smelting which requires ORE payment creating guaranteed treasury inflow | experimental | futard.io, Meta-PoW: The ORE Treasury Protocol proposal, 2025-11-07 | 2026-03-11 |
Meta-PoW creates deterministic ORE treasury accumulation through INGOT smelting bottleneck
The Meta-PoW protocol establishes a structural mechanism for ORE accumulation by making INGOT the universal input for all tool operations (crafting and repair) while requiring ORE payment exclusively at the smelting stage. This creates a deterministic relationship between player activity and treasury inflow.
The mechanism works through three linked constraints:
-
Smelting monopoly on ORE payment: To smelt 1 INGOT requires burning 100 COAL plus paying μ ORE (currently calibrated at ~12.10 ORE) directly to the COAL treasury. This is the only point where ORE enters the system.
-
INGOT as universal tool input: Both pickaxes (mining tools) and axes (WOOD production) require INGOT for crafting and daily repair. A fully maintained pickaxe consumes approximately 0.082643 INGOT per day in repair costs.
-
Evergreen tool design: Tools decay at 4% per day if not repaired, but repair is cheaper than recrafting. This incentivizes continuous maintenance rather than tool churn, creating steady INGOT demand.
The calibration targets approximately 1 ORE per day of treasury inflow per fully maintained pickaxe. With repair costs of 0.082643 INGOT/day and smelting costs of 12.10 ORE per INGOT, this implies each active pickaxe drives roughly 1 ORE/day into the treasury through the INGOT consumption cycle.
The proposal explicitly states: "Each active, fully repaired pick is designed to support approximately: 1 ORE per day of inflow to the treasury, 8.26 COAL per day burned via smelting."
This differs from voluntary treasury contribution mechanisms because the ORE payment is structurally required to access COAL emissions. Players cannot mine COAL without pickaxes, cannot craft or maintain pickaxes without INGOT, and cannot produce INGOT without paying ORE to the treasury.
