COAL: Meta-PoW: The ORE Treasury Protocol

Summary

Meta-PoW establishes a multi-token game economy for COAL where mining power resides in pickaxes (not miners), crafting requires burning COAL and paying ORE to the treasury, and tools decay at 4% per day but are cheaper to repair than replace. The mechanism creates a loop: COAL emissions → pickaxe demand → INGOT smelting (burns COAL + pays ORE) → treasury accumulation. A dynamic license fee c(y) = c0 * (y/y_ref)^p automatically throttles pickaxe crafting based on COAL/ORE price ratio, with cubic sensitivity (p=3) creating strong economic pressure against crafting during COAL weakness.

Significance

This proposal demonstrates futarchy's ability to govern complex mechanism design, not just binary funding decisions. Meta-PoW introduces:

  1. Evergreen tool economics with 4% daily decay and repair costs below replacement
  2. Dynamic license fees using price ratio exponents (cubic sensitivity) for automatic supply throttling
  3. Single-point ORE payment at INGOT smelting, creating auditable treasury inflow measurement
  4. Calibrated treasury flow targeting ~1 ORE/day per maintained pickaxe

The mechanism is notable for embedding algorithmic monetary policy in token mechanics—the license fee adjusts automatically via on-chain price oracles without governance intervention. The proposal also specifies that "parameters can be slightly adjusted by the core team before launch, upon feedback from the community," showing pragmatic flexibility within futarchy governance.
