Hard questions

FAQ

Honest answers about hybrid architecture, SEEDOS emission, governance trust, economic freezes, and Seed holder rights.

Why hybrid/off-chain?: Because strategy games need low-latency mutation, replayable state, and economic repairability. Wardenseed keeps gameplay in USK/Postgres and commits only settlement, ownership, and proof to chain.
Why not fully on-chain?: A fully on-chain forest would turn normal care actions into gas events and make balance patches painful. The chain is strongest as a settlement and verification boundary.
How is SEEDOS minted?: SEEDOS is minted through replay-protected settlement batches. The engine computes emission off-chain, GEO clamps risk, and the contract enforces max supply plus duplicate batch protection.
What prevents inflation?: Hard yearly caps, dynamic epoch ceilings, sink pressure, staking ratios, UEI, and emergency clamps all reduce emission capacity when the ecosystem is stressed.
Is this pay-to-win?: Seed NFTs and SEEDOS create ownership and settlement surfaces. They do not replace gameplay truth or turn every forest action into a purchase.
What happens if Base goes down?: Gameplay can continue off-chain while settlement queues pause. Once Base recovers, batches can reconcile without rewriting the simulation ledger.
Why Ethereum anchors?: Ethereum L1 is used as a sparse public notary for raw USK roots. It proves historical checkpoints without forcing the whole world loop onto L1.
What rights do Seed holders have?: Seed holders own ERC-721 assets and may access launch, provenance, marketplace, and future governance surfaces. They do not own the database or force emission.
How are royalties used?: Royalties route toward treasury-controlled protocol operations, liquidity, security, and ecosystem maintenance under the treasury policy model.
Is governance trustless?: Governance is moving toward snapshot-weighted execution with timelock controls. It is not allowed to arbitrarily mint, drain treasury, or rewrite anchors.
Can the economy freeze?: Yes. Circuit breakers can pause minting, settlement, marketplace, and LP surfaces when risk exceeds safe bounds.
What is UEI?: UEI is the Unified Economic Index: a compact signal for system pressure, velocity, supply, sinks, and market posture.
