Rewards into reach.
World is building an automated distribution system that uses creator rewards to fund the on-chain cost of bringing WORLD to new holders.
The idea
Sending a token to a new wallet can require creating a token account first. That account needs a minimum SOL balance, commonly called rent. At scale, funding those accounts becomes a real constraint on distribution.
World connects creator rewards to that constraint. Our intended policy directs 100% of the creator rewards World receives into the distribution treasury. That treasury funds account rent and the transaction costs required to deliver WORLD to eligible new holders.
The technology we are developing combines reward collection, budget-aware distribution, recoverable managed inventory and a public record of finalized receipts. It is an application built on Solana, not a new blockchain or a claim to have invented token transfers.
Where rewards go
The 100% commitment applies to World’s creator-reward receipts, not to all trading fees charged by a launch platform. No team withdrawal is part of this proposed reward-allocation policy.
- Funding source
- Creator rewards received by World
- Primary use
- SOL deposits for new token accounts
- Execution costs
- Claim and distribution transaction fees
- Unspent balance
- Retained for future drops and operating reserves
- Token source
- Separately funded WORLD distribution inventory
Rent is a refundable account deposit, not a recurring subscription. Transaction fees are separate and are spent. The system must budget for both before sending a drop. It can reuse an existing eligible token account without funding a new one.
Capacity is bounded by available SOL, available WORLD inventory and current network costs. If any is insufficient, new drops wait. A lower rent requirement can increase reach; it does not guarantee a fixed number of recipients or a fixed distribution schedule.
How a drop works
Collect and account
Claim available creator rewards and reconcile the finalized result into the treasury ledger.
Build an eligible recipient set
The planned discovery service identifies candidate wallets. Campaign rules exclude ineligible addresses and prevent the same entitlement from being paid twice. Eligibility and token amounts must be published for each campaign.
Reserve, simulate, deliver
Reserve token inventory and SOL for the batch, check current rent requirements, simulate the transaction and send within the campaign’s limits.
Verify and publish
Confirm the exact finalized transfer before counting it as delivered. Publish its receipt so the public view reflects settled activity.
Automation is the goal. It does not mean unlimited spending or automatic eligibility for every wallet. A new holder is a wallet receiving WORLD under the campaign rules, not proof of a unique person. Recipient discovery and abuse controls remain part of the development work.
Two ownership models
Community drops are permanent
WORLD is transferred to a recipient-controlled token account. The recipient keeps control of the tokens. World does not retain a recovery authority over that community allocation, and cannot reclaim its rent deposit as treasury capital.
Managed inventory is recoverable
A separate lane holds treasury-controlled allocations with disclosed recovery authority. Under the configured recovery rules, World can return that inventory and close eligible managed accounts to recover their rent deposits.
Managed allocations are not presented as independent community holders. The public ledger separates these two lanes so recoverable inventory cannot be mistaken for permanent distribution. Recovered rent can support later activity, but the same deposit is never counted as new creator revenue.
Preparing for cheaper rent
Our direction is aligned with Solana’s next generation of lower-cost account creation. The specific upgrade relevant to World is Reduced Rent, SIMD-0437. Solana’s published roadmap describes a phased target of 90% lower rent deposits. Activation is controlled by individual feature gates.
We use “Solana v2” as shorthand for that next phase of the network, not as an official release name or a promised activation date. World must use the rent requirements actually active on the target network, rather than assume the full reduction has arrived.
As account deposits fall, the same available SOL can fund more new accounts, with all other costs held equal. Transaction fees, account type, token extensions and execution limits still affect the final cost per recipient.
Our preparation is practical: query current rent, keep batches bounded, support SPL and Token-2022 account paths, and verify behavior against current programs. Future distribution methods will be evaluated for cost, wallet support and ownership before adoption.
Development status
World is a working prototype, with local and mainnet-fork verification. It is not yet a production distribution network.
- Implemented and tested
- Permanent drops, managed recovery, durable transaction tracking and finalized public receipts
- Fork verified
- SPL and Token-2022 distribution; creator-reward collection before and after PumpSwap graduation
- Still being developed
- Recipient discovery, published eligibility policy and end-to-end unattended operations
- Before production
- Final token and treasury configuration, public campaign limits, live simulation and a capped launch trial
The current build passed 123 automated tests. The public demo labels its test-network receipts. These checks establish development progress; they are not a claim of a completed external audit or successful mainnet rollout.
Reward income may vary or stop. Distribution can pause during low funding, network issues or safety checks. Holding WORLD does not guarantee a payment, a return, eligibility for another drop or any token price.
