This documentation hub is the canonical reference for operators, partners, and researchers. It is the companion to the runbooks shipped with Genesis 200 hardware and the legal agreements signed at reservation.
V1 canonical summary: 500M hard cap. Allocation: Community 45% (225M) · Investors 20% (100M) · Team and Advisors 20% (100M) · Foundation 15% (75M). Emissions 60M over an 8-year smooth taper (12 / 14 / 12 / 9 / 6 / 4 / 2 / 1M), then revenue-funded. Revenue split 45 burn / 20 operators / 15 stakers / 20 Foundation, to a 250M burn floor. MLMA on Base, SaveCards on Cardano (not bridged at TGE). Stewardship Pool (8.75M, FPIC-gated). 10% UBO governance cap.
Whitepaper v1.0 — Six-Layer DePIN
The canonical institutional document. Hardware-verified truth for climate markets and AI compute. Covers the full six-layer DePIN architecture, nine verticals (carbon verification, AI compute emissions verification, energy-market data licensing, parametric insurance, EUDR supply chain attestation, prediction market resolution, smart agriculture, Smart City, and LCO₂ / VCO₂ settlement), tokenomics, regulatory posture, and operational threat model. 31 pages · Document MLM-WP-v1.0.
MLMA Tokenomics
Token design, the 60M eight-year smooth emission taper, allocation pools, governance, the 45 / 20 / 15 / 20 revenue split, and the 250M circulating-supply burn floor.
Pricing & Dynamics
Capital requirement, milestone-conditional vesting (15 / 15 / 20 / 20 / 30), validation distribution formula, hex demand tiers, and the two economic phases.
Phase 1 Timeline
From reservation through Year 1 milestone vesting. Six phases. Reservation, hardware ship, boot & audit, PONO qualify, and three operational milestones.
Operator Guide
Deployment, hardware, node operation, PONO qualification, and support. The companion to runbooks shipped with your kit.
Data Demand Score
Five-component scoring framework (0-100) measuring the commercial and regulatory value of hardware-signed data from each hex. Inputs, update cadence, multiplier formula, and worked examples.
Genesis Pricing
Genesis reserve price ($2,000 flat), listing reference price formula, three-multiplier reward calculation, cohort normalization, milestone vesting, and buyer protections.
Validator Fees
USDC-denominated protocol revenue distributed to Genesis 200 operators from commercial buyer relationships. Separate from MLMA emissions. Accrual logic, distribution mechanics, and interaction with MLMA milestone vesting.
Mālama Labs builds the measurement layer for markets that depend on physical-world data. The same hardware-signed primitive. A sensor reading, signed at the silicon level by an ATECC608B-class secure element and anchored to Cardano. Produces verifiable evidence across nine verticals:
- Carbon verification (dMRV)
- AI compute emissions verification
- Energy-market data licensing
- Parametric insurance triggers
- EUDR supply chain attestation
- Prediction market resolution
- Smart agriculture SaaS
- Smart City (municipal / grid)
- LCO₂ / VCO₂ settlement
Genesis 200is the first 200 hex-zoned validation nodes on the network. These nodes form the geographic spine of the protocol’s data integrity layer. They validate data produced by enterprise sensor deployments. Operators receive validation distributions and a 125,000 MLMA allocation vested across operational milestones.
Documentation is informational. Specific reservation, participation, and token terms are governed by the agreements signed at reservation. The Terms & Conditions, Hex Node Purchase Agreement, and Token & Rewards Risk Disclosure. Consult qualified legal, tax, and financial advisors before participating.
