# GULD #### What Is GULD? GULD exists to power the AdventureWurld Chain, and the AdventureWurld Chain exists to make the gaming platform possible. GULD's purpose is utility — gas for on-chain transactions, in-game purchases, governance participation, and access to the games and economies built on the platform. GULD is not an investment product and may never have any value outside of the AdventureWurld ecosystem. GULD is the native utility token of the AdventureWurld ecosystem. It connects players, node operators, developers, and the DAO. GULD is used for transaction fees on the AdventureWurld Chain, rewarding node operators who secure the network, and governance voting to determine how the platform evolves.

Fixed cap with no inflation beyond this amount. #### Distribution Model GULD follows a halving model similar to Bitcoin. Each year, the distribution rate cuts in half: Year one releases 50% of total supply, year two releases 25%, year three releases 12.5%, and so on until all GULD is distributed. #### Vesting Periods and Allocations There is no team allocation, founder vesting, investor tokens, pre-mine, or airdrop. Every GULD is earned through node operation or gameplay. All GULD is earned by supporting the network. ### Player GULD Rewards Play for free. No crypto required to start. Players earn GULD by completing challenges, defeating bosses, reaching milestones, and ranking on leaderboards. Rewards are distributed in real time for accomplishments that require skill and strategy—not grinding. **Withdrawals:** No minimum withdrawal amount. Players control their own assets. ### Node Operator GULD Rewards Node operators earn GULD daily for running node software and supporting the network. **Daily Reward Calculation:** The year's total distribution is divided by 365 to get the daily pool, then split among all active nodes. **Year One Example:** Daily pool is approximately 68.5 million GULD. | Active Nodes | GULD Per Node/Day | Monthly Estimate | | ------------ | ----------------- | ---------------- | | 10,000 | \~6,850 | \~205,500 | | 25,000 | \~2,740 | \~82,200 | | 50,000 | \~1,370 | \~41,100 | | 100,000 | \~685 | \~20,550 | As more nodes join the network becomes stronger and more decentralized. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
