A.1.1 Arena Fee Pool - participation fees and in-game action fees (squad registration, substitutions, energy usage, voting, and related actions).

A.1.2 Tokenomics Game Rewards Pool - allocated from fixed Game Rewards supply. No other reward sources exist. Inflationary token minting is prohibited.

Transfer Market uses a separate fee and settlement model and is outside this appendix scope.

- PIQUE AI Operations generates post-match reward allocation and token emission reports.

- PIQUE AI validates deterministic scoring and settlement logic.

- DAO Governance approves parameter changes and exceptional adjustments.

AI systems provide analysis and recommendations only and do not autonomously control treasury assets or token supply.

The WC26 NFT Fantasy economic system is governed by the following non-negotiable principles:

B1.1 Fixed Supply Integrity — WC26 has a fixed total supply. No minting beyond the predefined supply is permitted under any circumstance.

B1.2 Non-Inflationary Rewards — All rewards are sourced exclusively from Arena Fee Pools and Pre-allocated Game Rewards pools. No reward mechanism may introduce inflationary emissions.

B1.3 No Retroactive Rule Changes — Economic rules cannot be modified retroactively to affect past participation, rewards, or settlements.

B1.4 Deterministic Settlement — Reward calculations and distributions must be deterministic, transparent, and reproducible.

B1.5 Separation of Authority — Strategy and policy are defined by the DAO. Execution is performed by AI strictly within approved limits. Emergency intervention is reserved for designated governance layers only.

The following table defines all adjustable economic parameters, their permitted ranges, control authority, and frequency limits.

Core Economic Parameters

Parameter	Controlled By	Adjustment Range	Frequency Limit	Hard Constraint
Arena Entry Fee	DAO (Governor)	±25%	Once per epoch	Must not exceed global max cap
Arena Fee Split (Reward/Treasury/Burn)	DAO (Governor)	±5% per component	Once per quarter	Total must equal 100%
Arena Rewards Pool Allocation	DAO (Governor)	±5%	Once per quarter	No supply inflation
Global Reward Multiplier	DAO (Governor)	0.8× – 1.2×	Once per month	Temporary only
Energy Pack Pricing	DAO (Governor)	±15%	Once per month	WC26-denominated
Creator Incentive Ratio	DAO (Governor)	±10%	Once per quarter	Hard cap enforced

Any attempt to modify parameters beyond these ranges is constitutionally invalid.

Fund/Vault	Maximum Allocation	Control Layer	Immutable Rule
Operations Treasury	≤20% per quarter	DAO (Governor)	Purpose-bound spending only
Marketing & Growth Fund	≤25% per quarter	DAO (Governor)	No cross-fund transfer
Community Grant Pool	≤10% per quarter	DAO (Governor)	Grant-only usage
Reserve/Buffer Vault	Emergency only	Vanguard	No routine draw
Team/Advisor Vesting	Fixed schedule	Vanguard	No acceleration

Treasury actions exceeding these limits require emergency governance procedures.

Liquidity Parameter	Permitted Range	Executor	Hard Limit
LP Depth Target	±15%	PIQUÉ	Cannot reduce below safety floor
Buyback Trigger	±10% price deviation	PIQUÉ	Budget-capped
Rebalance Interval	≥7 days	PIQUÉ	No rapid cycling
LP Injection	Emergency only	Vanguard	One-way (Reserve → LP)
LP Withdrawal	Emergency only	Vanguard	Mandatory post-mortem

PIQUÉ may execute but never redefine these boundaries.

PIQUÉ operates strictly as an execution layer, not an economic authority. PIQUÉ is explicitly prohibited from:

— Modifying token supply or emission schedules

— Altering reward logic or allocation ratios

— Transferring treasury or reserve assets arbitrarily

— Overriding DAO decisions or timelock mechanisms

— Executing actions outside approved boundary ranges

All AI actions are logged, time-stamped, and reviewable.

The following actions are permanently forbidden under WC26 NFT Fantasy governance:

— Inflationary token minting

— Arbitrary or discretionary treasury transfers

— Retroactive reward adjustments

— Emergency actions without disclosure

— Bypassing DAO voting or timelock controls

Economic Policy Boundaries themselves are constitution-level elements. Boundary updates require: Supermajority DAO approval + Mandatory public notice period.

Boundary changes cannot: Enable inflation · Remove supply caps · Grant unilateral authority to any actor. Modification procedures are designed to be rare, transparent, and deliberate.

In case of conflict:

1. This Appendix (Economic Policy Boundaries) prevails over all operational rules.

2. DAO-approved governance decisions must comply with these boundaries.

3. AI execution is subordinate to both DAO policy and boundary constraints. Violations trigger governance review and corrective procedures.

WC26 does not rely on trust. It relies on boundaries.

Emergency powers within WC26 NFT Fantasy are narrow by design, temporary by default, and fully accountable. No emergency action may permanently alter token supply, economic structure, or governance authority.

C1.1 Preservation First — Emergency actions exist solely to preserve system integrity, user assets, and economic continuity.

C1.2 Minimal Scope & Duration — Emergency powers are limited in scope and automatically expire once the threat is resolved or the time limit is reached.

C1.3 No Structural Changes — Emergency mode does not permit permanent changes to tokenomics, governance rules, or system architecture.

C1.4 Clear Authority Boundaries — Each emergency action has a predefined authority layer. No actor may act outside its assigned scope.

C1.5 Mandatory Transparency — All emergency actions are logged, published, and subject to post-incident review.

Scenario	Detection Layer	Immediate Action	Authority	Time Limit
Token Price Crash (>25% within 24h)	PIQUÉ	Pause buy pressure, activate buyback within limits	PIQUÉ (Auto)	24 hours
Extreme Market Volatility	PIQUÉ	Reduce global reward multiplier	PIQUÉ (Auto)	48 hours
Liquidity Drain Risk	PIQUÉ	Freeze LP configuration changes	Vanguard	Until resolved
Oracle Failure / Data Corruption	PIQUÉ	Suspend scoring and reward settlement	DAO (Governor)	Until oracle restored
Smart Contract Exploit	Guardian Systems	Pause affected module	Guardian Safe	Immediate
Treasury Compromise	Guardian Systems	Freeze vault access	Vanguard	Until audit completion
AI Execution Anomaly	Monitoring Layer	Suspend AI execution privileges	DAO (Governor)	Until investigation

Emergency authority is temporary, scoped, and automatically revoked after resolution. Emergency authority within WC26 NFT Fantasy is strictly tiered:

PIQUÉ (AI Execution Layer) — May trigger limited, pre-approved emergency actions within defined thresholds.

DAO (Governor Layer) — May authorize temporary suspensions, parameter freezes, or system pauses affecting gameplay or settlement.

Vanguard (System Survival Layer) — Acts as the final safeguard, with authority limited to asset protection and system containment. No single layer may unilaterally escalate beyond its assigned scope.

During emergency mode, the following actions may be permitted, subject to authority and time limits. All actions must remain non-inflationary and reversible:

— Temporary suspension of reward settlement

— Temporary reduction of reward multipliers

— Temporary freezing of liquidity configuration changes

— Pausing specific game modules or contracts

— Freezing treasury or reserve vault access

The following actions are strictly prohibited, even during emergencies:

— Token minting or supply expansion

— Permanent modification of economic parameters

— Arbitrary transfer of treasury or reserve funds

— Override of DAO voting or timelock mechanisms

— Concealed or undisclosed emergency actions

Each emergency follows a defined lifecycle:

1. Detection — Triggered by automated monitoring or guardian alerts

2. Containment — Immediate, limited-scope action

3. Stabilization — Risk reduced within predefined thresholds

4. Resolution — Normal operations restored

5. Review — Mandatory post-incident analysis

Within 7 days of emergency resolution:

— A public post-mortem report must be published.

— Actions taken, rationale, and outcomes must be disclosed.

— Any proposed permanent changes must go through standard DAO governance. Emergency actions do not set precedent for future governance decisions.

Emergency powers cannot be chained, extended indefinitely, or repurposed for governance control.

— Automatic emergency actions have hard-coded expiration.

— Manual extensions require DAO approval.

— Vanguard authority dissolves immediately after resolution.

WC26 survives crises without becoming one.

D.1.1. Immutable Historical Heritage

Each Stadium NFT is permanently associated with: a real-world match venue · official World Cup 2026 matches hosted at that venue · the moments, events, and collective memories formed there.

Stadium NFTs are not designed for mass retail participation. They are intended for: Individuals or organizations seeking infrastructure-level involvement · Members with long-term ecosystem commitment · Strategic contributors within the DAO.

Stadium NFTs serve as the bridge between real-world events, digital experiences, and on-chain value flows.

The Player NFT ecosystem consists of 653,760 NFTs, representing 48 national teams, designed to balance mass accessibility with structured scarcity.

E.1.1. Tier & Multiplier Structure

Player rosters are sourced from official national team registration lists prior to the tournament. Each player is assigned an NFT Tier based on transfer market valuation at registration (used solely for tier classification, not as financial reference).

Tier	Multiplier	NFTs per Player	Players per National Team	Total NFTs (48 National Teams)
MYTHIC	1.50×	10	2	960
LEGENDARY	1.25×	50	4	9,600
EPIC	1.20×	100	4	19,200
RARE	1.15×	500	6	144,000
COMMON	1.00×	1,000	10	480,000
TOTAL			26	653,760

E.1.2. Mystery Boxes

To optimize on-chain storage and minimize gas costs, Player NFT data is structured across multiple layers.

Data Layer	Attributes	Data Source	Storage
Static Layer	Name, DOB, nationality, position, club, artwork	API-Football	IPFS
Economic Layer	Tier, serial number, market value (pre-WC)	Transfermarkt	On-chain
Dynamic Layer	SP, temporary badges, match rating	SofaScore API	Hybrid
Legacy Layer	Permanent titles	Official data	On-chain (post-tournament)

E.4.1. SP Definitions & Validity Scope

Term	Definition	Formation Condition	Validity	Reset	Purpose
SP_effective	Performance points of a Player NFT in a match	NFT participates in Squad Fantasy	Per match	After match	Ranking, MVP, rewards
SP_tournament_total	Total SP_effective across tournament	Sum of participated matches	Tournament-wide	After tournament	Upgrade eligibility
Legacy Badge (Golden Ball, Boot, Glove)	Permanent legacy marks	Assigned post-tournament	Permanent	None	Collectible value

Rule: If a Player NFT does not participate in a match → SP_effective = 0, regardless of the real-world player's performance.

E.4.2. Stat Points (SP) Methodology

— Each Player NFT starts every match with a baseline of 100 SP (reference point). Baseline SP is not cumulative, not stored, and not counted toward SP_tournament_total.

— Only SP_effective generated through Squad Fantasy participation is recorded.

— Only participating NFTs receive Match Performance Points (MPP). This ensures progression depends on participation timing and strategy, not passive ownership.

E.4.3. Event → SP & Badge Conversion Table

Player NFT distribution is divided into three strategic phases, aligned with the World Cup 2026 roadmap following FIFA's official national team announcements.

Each activity within WC26 Arena is designed as an independent module, with its own rules, pacing, and strategic depth. However, all modules are tightly interconnected through:

— A unified Arena Fee Pool

— Standardized reward allocation logic

— DAO-based oversight and adjustment mechanisms

— A shared utility and governance commitment token: WC26

WC26 Arena is structured around six core pillars, reflecting the diverse ways fans interact with World Cup 2026:

F(1). ORACLE CHALLENGE

A structured match outcome prediction challenge where participants mint outcome-linked NFTs within a defined pre-match window. Football knowledge, analytical judgment, and match insight are transformed into NFT-based selections directly tied to official match results.

F(2). SQUAD FANTASY

A real-time team management experience where participants select Player NFTs and make tactical adjustments throughout the match. Real-world player performance determines in-game outcomes, turning each match into a high-intensity "micro-season."

F(3). GLOBAL JURY

A social participation layer where the community collectively recognizes the Most Impressive Player (MIP) and identifies the Worst Performer (WPP). These decisions directly influence Player NFT attributes and long-term player legacy, extending engagement beyond traditional statistics.

F(4). PRIMARY NFT DROPS

NFTs issued in direct association with specific matches, stadium venues, and iconic moments. These NFTs function as living historical fragments, capturing the pulse of World Cup 2026 at precise moments in time.

F(5). COMMUNITY CREATOR HUB

A creative space where fans transform on-pitch moments into digital content, preserve emotion, memory, and supporter culture. Entertainment, creativity, and community expression are directly integrated into the ecosystem's value flows.

F(6). TRANSFER MARKET

A 24/7 peer-to-peer trading environment for Player NFTs and Stadium NFTs. Enables participants to adjust strategic positioning, optimize portfolios, and maintain engagement between matches.

In WC26 Arena, value is not promised — it is created through real action. Football knowledge, timing, analytical ability, and level of commitment determine outcomes. What happens in one match continues to influence future matches, forming a continuous experiential thread throughout the tournament.

WC26 Arena is not merely a game. It is the experiential and economic core of the entire WC26 NFT Fantasy ecosystem.

Oracle Challenge operates through two distinct participation modules, serving different player profiles while sharing a unified economic framework:

F(1)-1.1. VIBE CARDS — Outcome-Based Participation Cards

A VIBE CARD represents a participant's read of the overall vibe, momentum, and final direction of a match.

Available Outcomes: (A) WIN | DRAW | (B) WIN

Creation Flow: Select a match → Choose one outcome: A WIN / DRAW / B WIN → Select quantity → Pay in WC26 → VIBE CARDs are minted to the user's wallet.

F(1)-1.2. ORACLE CARDS — Exact Outcome Participation Cards

An ORACLE CARD encodes a precise final score of a match, permanently recorded on-chain.

Creation Flow: Select a match → Input an exact score (e.g., 2–1, 0–0, 4–3) → Confirm creation → Pay in WC26 → ORACLE CARD is minted to the user's wallet.

Each card carries a unique, human-readable serial number for transparency, collectability, and historical reference.

Recommended Serial Format: [TYPE]-[MATCH CODE]-[OUTCOME/SCORE]-[SERIAL]

Examples: VIBE-xxxx-SPN21-00421  |  ORACLE-xxxx-ARG13-00215

This structure enables: Clear UI filtering · On-chain verification · Long-term historical value.

(Applied equally to VIBE & ORACLE Cards) — For every 500 WC26 generated from card creation:

Allocation	Percentage
Prize Pool (Module-Specific)	60%
Protocol Burn	10%
Referral Program (3% F1 / 2% F2)	5%
Staking Program	5%
Stadium NFT Owner Fee	5%
Treasury DAO	7.5%
Liquidity Buffer	7.5%
Total	100%

Prize pools are isolated per module — no cross-subsidization occurs:

— VIBE Prize Pool → only for winning VIBE Cards + 15% from per-match token emission.

— ORACLE Prize Pool → only for winning ORACLE Cards + 15% from per-match token emission.

F(2)-1.1. Valid Squad

— Each wallet may register one (1) squad per match.

— A squad consists of 11 Player NFTs: 10 outfield players + 1 goalkeeper. Players may only be selected from the two teams competing in that match.

F(2)-1.2. Player NFT Ownership

Players must own the corresponding Player NFTs to include them in a squad. Missing players can be acquired via the Transfer Market.

F(2)-1.3. Entry Window

Registration opens 24–48 hours before kick-off. Registration closes 120 minutes before kick-off. After this point, the squad is locked.

F(2)-1.4. Entry Ticket

Standard entry fee: 1,000 WC26 per squad per match. The DAO may adjust entry fees under governance policy, with public notice.

F(2)-2.1. Substitutions

— During regular time: up to 5 substitutions.  — If extra time occurs: +2 additional substitutions.

F(2)-2.2. Substitution Fee

200 WC26 per substitution. 100% of substitution fees are added directly to the Squad Fantasy Prize Pool (Arena Fee Pool).

F(2)-3.1. Core Definitions

— FAT (Fantasy Active Time): the period during which a Player NFT is marked as Active in a squad.

— RMT (Real Match Time): the actual on-pitch time of the real-world player.

— EPT (Effective Play Time): Intersection(FAT, RMT) — the valid overlap.

— GhostTime: FAT − EPT — time when an NFT is active while the player is not on the pitch. GhostTime is calculated per match and affects only the immediately following match.

F(2)-3.2. Penalty (Next Match) & Energy Recovery

PenaltyMinutes_next = 1 × GhostTime_current

RecoveredMinutes = 10 × MatchReadinessRecoveryUsed

EPT_effective = MAX(0, EPT − PenaltyMinutes_next + RecoveredMinutes)

Mandatory Constraints:

— Recovery cap: RecoveredMinutes ≤ PenaltyMinutes_next.

— Penalties apply only to the immediately following match (no unlimited accumulation).

— Penalty deduction is deterministic: PenaltyMinutes are deducted from the END of EPT.

F(2)-3.3. Event Validity Rule (Anti-Exploitation Core)

An event is valid for scoring only if: timestamp(event) ∈ EPT_effective
Goals, assists, cards, ratings, and other events outside EPT_effective do not generate SP.

F(2)-4.1. Base SP

Every Player NFT starts each match with a baseline of 100 SP (reference only — not accumulated, not stored, not counted toward SP_tournament_total). Only Player NFTs actively deployed in Squad Fantasy earn match-based SP (no passive rewards).

F(2)-4.2. Match Performance → SP Table

F(2)-4.4. Tier Multiplier

Tier	Multiplier
MYTHIC	1.50×
LEGENDARY	1.25×
EPIC	1.20×
RARE	1.15×
COMMON	1.00×

F(2)-4.5. SP Calculation (Audit-Ready)

Note: Baseline 100 SP exists only as a calculation reference and does not represent earned performance.

Step 1 — Raw SP: SP_raw = 100 + ΣSP(event_i) where timestamp(event_i) ∈ EPT_effective

Step 2 — Apply Tier Multiplier: SP_tier = SP_raw × TierMultiplier

Step 3 — Effective SP: SP_effective = SP_tier if EPT_effective > 0  |  SP_effective = 0 if EPT_effective = 0

F(2)-5.1. Squad Score: SquadScore = ΣSP_effective (11 Player NFTs in the final squad)

F(2)-5.2. Ranking Logic: Squads are ranked by descending SquadScore. Tie-break rules (if required) may be defined by DAO policy (e.g., higher total EPT_effective).

F(2)-6.1. Two-Pool Architecture

— Arena Fee Pool: generated from entry tickets and gameplay fees.

— Arena Rewards Pool: fixed WC26 gameplay token allocation (non-inflationary).

F(2)-6.2. Arena Fee Pool Allocation (Entry Ticket)

Category	Allocation
Squad Fantasy Winners (Rank 1–10)	60%
Protocol Burn	10%
Referral (F1 3% / F2 2%)	5%
Staking Program	5%
Stadium NFT Owner	5%
DAO Treasury (Operations)	7.5%
Liquidity Buffer	7.5%

Additional inflow: 100% of substitution fees are added to the Squad Fantasy Prize Pool. Energy Packs constitute a separate fee stream; pricing and allocation (Burn/Treasury/Liquidity Buffer) are DAO-configured.

F(2)-6.3. Arena Rewards Pool (WC26 Tokenomics)

Total gameplay rewards: 15,000,000 WC26 (7.5% of total supply).

— 14,700,000 WC26 distributed across 104 matches.

— 300,000 WC26 reserved for special tournament awards.

F(2)-6.3.1. Token Allocation per Match Phase

Stage	Matches	Tokens/Match	Stage Total

F(2)-7.1. Scope

The Top 10 distribution model applies to: Prize Pool from the Arena Fee Pool and Ranking rewards from the Arena Rewards Pool.

F(2)-7.2. Top 10 Reward Table (Final)

Rank	Reward %

#7	2.5%
#8	2.5%
#9	2.5%
#10	2.5%
Top 6–10 subtotal	12.5%

F(2)-7.3. Featured Squad (7.5% per round)

Distributed to Player NFTs included in the Featured Squad of the round. Eligibility: Player NFT was deployed in the match & SP_effective > 0.

Weighting formula: Weight = SP_effective × RoleFactor — where RoleFactor = 2 for starting players, RoleFactor = 1 for substitutes.

F(2)-7.4. Match MVP (2.5% per match)

Awarded to the Player NFT with the highest SP_effective among all Squad Fantasy squads. Applicable only if the player is officially named Match MVP. Ties are split proportionally.

— Match data, playing time, ratings, and events are sourced from sports data oracles.

— On-chain settlement is based on: playerIntervals[], event timestamps, GhostTime & EPT_effective rules.

— PIQUE (AI Ops) monitors, reconciles, and reports reward distributions; AI operates strictly within DAO-approved policies.

1. Squad registration closes 120 minutes before kick-off.

2. Points are counted only within EPT_effective.

3. GhostTime creates a penalty for the next match; Energy Packs provide capped recovery.

4. Rewards come from two separate pools: Arena Fee Pool and Arena Rewards Pool.

5. Rankings are determined by SquadScore = ΣSP_effective.

Core Principles:  MIP (Most Impressive Player) — selected by the fan community  |  WPP (Worst Performer) — selected by the fan community  |  MVP (Match MVP) — determined by the Organizer / Oracle.

F(3)-1.1. MIP — Most Impressive Player

The player who leaves the strongest impression on the fan community after the match. Determined 100% by valid community votes.

Impact: +20 SP to the Player NFT + assignment of the "Most Impressive Player" (MIP) Badge.

MIP does not receive direct token rewards. The value of MIP lies in performance impact, competitive advantage in gameplay, and the long-term value of the Player NFT throughout the tournament.

F(3)-1.2. WPP — Worst Performer

The player assessed by the community as having the weakest performance in the match.

Impact: −20 SP to the Player NFT (applies only to that specific match) + assignment of the WPP Badge (a long-term metadata trace).

WPP Badge Cleansing: Fee: 500 WC26 · 100% burned · Badge removal improves collectibility and market value, and does not alter match history (the −20 SP is not refunded).

Design philosophy: The community influences performance; tokens reward achievements and gameplay only. Titles are not bought with money.

F(3)-2.1. Voting Rights

Each wallet, per match: Maximum 10 MIP votes · Maximum 10 WPP votes. The voted player must have appeared in the real-world match, regardless of time spent on the pitch.

F(3)-2.2. Voting Cost

100 WC26 per vote. The fee may be adjusted through DAO Governance and publicly announced.

F(3)-2.3. Voting Time Window

Opens immediately after the final whistle. Lasts 24 hours to ensure participation across all time zones.

F(3)-2.4. Result Determination Rules

The player who receives the highest number of valid votes for MIP or WPP is recorded as the winner. This designation applies to all corresponding Player NFTs that participated in the Squad Fantasy lineup.

Tie-breaking criteria:

1. Higher SP_effective (from Squad Fantasy) wins MIP; lower SP_effective receives WPP.

2. If still tied → random selection using a commit-reveal mechanism to prevent manipulation.

F(3)-3.1. Direct Impact

— MIP: +20 SP + MIP Badge   |   — WPP: −20 SP + WPP Badge

F(3)-3.2. Indirect Impact

Through SP changes, Global Jury outcomes directly affect: Squad Fantasy rankings · Eligibility for Featured Squad selection · Market value and long-term attractiveness of Player NFTs.

All MIP/WPP voting fees are directed into the Arena Fee Pool and allocated under the unified framework:

Category	Allocation
Community members who voted for the final MIP/WPP	60%
Protocol Burn	10%
Referral (F1 = 3% / F2 = 2%)	5%
Staking Program	5%
Stadium NFT Owner	5%
DAO Treasury (OPS)	7.5%
Liquidity Buffer	7.5%

No token rewards are distributed directly to Player NFTs from voting fees.

F(3)-5.1. Principle

Only wallets that correctly vote for the final MIP or WPP are eligible for rewards. Rewards are sourced from the 60% Winners Pool.

F(3)-5.2. Reward Distribution (Default)

Rewards are distributed proportionally to the number of valid votes, ensuring fairness and anti-spam protection.

Formula: Reward_i = Pool_60 × (Votes_i / Total_Correct_Votes)

F(3)-6.1. Global Jury Room Activation

Immediately after the final whistle, PIQUE activates the Global Jury Room — a 24-hour mini-event designed to: extend post-match emotions · increase retention between matches · transform voting into a "post-match awards ceremony" experience.

F(3)-6.2. Content within the Global Jury Room

Voting countdown timer (24h) · Quick statistics: match rating, key events, SP leaderboard · Highlights of key moments from candidates · Side-by-side player comparisons (AI-assisted, non-directive).

F(3)-6.3. PIQUE-Generated Shortlist

For each match, PIQUE automatically generates: Top 5 MIP candidates + Top 5 WPP candidates.

Based on objective data: match rating (oracle data) · key events (goals, assists, critical mistakes, cards) · SP leaderboard (from Squad Fantasy).

F(3)-6.4. Monitoring & Reporting

Detection of abnormal voting patterns (spam, sybil behavior) · Reporting to the DAO when necessary.

F(3)-6.5. Settlement Report

After voting closes, PIQUE produces a Global Jury Report, including: MIP/WPP results · Total fees and allocation breakdown · List of reward recipients · On-chain transaction hashes.

Global Jury takes place after the match and lasts 24 hours.

— MIP/WPP are community-selected, while MVP is organizer-determined.

— MIP/WPP do not receive direct token rewards from voting fees.

— Voting fees are allocated via the Arena Fee Pool, rewarding correct voters.

— SP changes directly affect gameplay and Player NFT value.

— PIQUE ensures transparency, fairness, and engagement throughout the process.

Global Jury does not sell titles for money. The community speaks. Performance defines value.

Primary NFT Drops are structured into three core categories to maximize collectibility, gameplay strategy, and historical value:

F(4)-1.1. Match-Day Souvenir NFTs

Digital "Ticket Stub" or Match Poster NFTs. Issued for each official match of the tournament. Each match has a distinct NFT set. Designs incorporate key identifiers: teams — stage — stadium — date & time.

Objective: Encourage early participation, contextual NFT holding, and deeper strategic engagement — without creating long-term pay-to-win advantages.

F(4)-1.2. Venue-Limited Player NFTs

"City/Stadium Edition" variants of Player NFTs. Dropped only when a match is played at a specific stadium (e.g., Mbappé — MetLife Edition). Extremely limited supply. Venue-exclusive visuals. Metadata explicitly records Venue + Match Context.

Utility: Higher base Stat Points (SP) compared to standard Player NFTs · May include special traits (visual or minor gameplay modifiers, DAO-controlled) · Fully compliant with SP_effective, GhostTime, and Squad Fantasy rules.

Objective: Create a strong linkage between Player NFTs ↔ Stadium NFTs ↔ Match Context, generating venue-based scarcity and spatial identity.

F(4)-1.3. "The Moment" NFTs — Flash Drops

Minted within a dedicated Flash Sub-Window (nested inside the overall Flash Sale Window), activated immediately after a historically significant event has been verified, such as: a decisive 90+ minute winning goal · a record-breaking save · a historic milestone (e.g., the tournament's 1,000th goal).

Characteristics: Ultra-scarce · Linked to a single, unrepeatable moment · No reprints — no duplicates. NFTs can only be minted within 60 minutes following the historical event.

Objective: Transform football moments into long-term strategic resources, without disrupting gameplay balance.

F(4)-2.1. Flash Sale Window

Each Primary Drop is available only within a strict time window:

— Opens: 2 hours before kick-off

— Closes: 2 hours after the final whistle  (Once the window closes → minting is permanently disabled)

F(4)-2.2. Minting Models

(a) Fixed Supply — A hard cap on supply (e.g., 2,026 NFTs). Minted on a first-come-first-served basis during the Flash Window.

(b) Dutch Auction — High starting price. Price decreases every 10 minutes. Ends when: the supply is sold out, or the Flash Window expires. Objective: Enable fair price discovery, reduce bot exploitation, and reflect genuine market demand.

F(4)-2.3. Whitelist & Venue Priority

Stadium NFT owners of the venue hosting the match receive: 15-minute early mint access + discounted mint pricing (DAO-configured). This mechanism enhances real utility for Stadium NFTs and aligns privileges with experience infrastructure, not speculation.

All WC26 revenue generated from Primary NFT Drops is recycled back into the ecosystem under the unified Arena Fee Pool framework:

Recipient	Allocation	Notes
Protocol Authors	60%	Content & ecosystem development
Protocol Burn	10%	Burned immediately on-chain
Trading Fee (Transfer Market)	5%
Staking Program	5%
Stadium NFT Owner	5%	Paid directly to the venue owner of the match
DAO Treasury (OPS)	7.5%	DAO multisig treasury
Liquidity Buffer	7.5%	Ecosystem-wide stability (AI-managed)

All Primary NFT Drops are protocol-issued assets. The exclusive authority to mint and sell Primary NFTs is held by the WC26 Protocol. Execution is performed via on-chain smart contracts. Minting is coordinated by PIQUE based on: verified match data + time windows and rules approved by DAO governance.

Immutable Principles: NFTs can only be minted within the Flash Sale Window · Fixed supply · No reissuance — no duplication — no historical alteration.

Users do not have minting privileges and may participate solely as: Buyers · Holders · Utility users within gameplay and the ecosystem.

Primary NFT Drops are not merely collectibles. They represent: Verified digital memories · Controlled gameplay instruments · Living fragments of World Cup 2026 history.

Each match happens only once. And every moment deserves to be preserved — forever.

F(5)-1.1. Eligibility

Any user with a valid wallet may participate as a Creator in the Community Creator Hub. No prior NFT ownership or staking is required.

F(5)-1.2. NFT Creation Fee (Creation/Minting Fee)

Users must pay a Creation Fee in WC26 to initiate NFT creation.

Purpose of the Creation Fee: Prevent spam and low-quality submissions · Support the Token Burn mechanism · Align creative responsibility with real economic cost.

The Creation Fee is governed by DAO Governance and may be adjusted across different tournament phases.

Manual minting is not permitted. The entire process follows a standardized, protocol-controlled flow.

F(5)-2.1. Content Creation

Users may upload: Images · Memes · Artwork · Match-related creative moments. Content is submitted via the Community Creator Hub on the Telegram Mini App (TMA).

F(5)-2.2. AI Validation (PIQUE)

All submitted content is automatically reviewed by PIQUE (AI Ops) to ensure compliance with: community standards · copyright policies · sensitive-content regulations.

PIQUE does not evaluate artistic quality. It only verifies that: content is non-violating + validly related to the match or tournament.

F(5)-2.3. Automated Minting & Listing

Once content passes PIQUE validation and the Creation Fee is successfully paid, the system will: Mint the NFT directly into the Creator's wallet · Automatically list the NFT on the Internal Marketplace · Allow the Creator to freely set the initial sale price.

There is no whitelist and no administrative price intervention. Creators retain full autonomy to price, sell, or hold their NFTs.

F(5)-3.1. Pre-Match Creation Phase

Opens 24 hours before kick-off. Suitable for: Posters · Predictions · Pre-match hype content.

F(5)-3.2. Peak Creation Phase (Live & Post-Match)

During the match itself and up to 24 hours after the match. Captures: Key moments · Victory or disappointment emotions.

F(5)-3.3. Continuous Trading

The Internal Marketplace operates 24/7. NFTs can be traded at any time, independent of the Hype Window.

All WC26 revenue generated from the Community Creator Hub is distributed under the unified WC26 Arena model:

Recipient	Allocation	Notes
Community Creators	60%	Paid to Creators upon NFT sale
Protocol Burn	10%	Token burn
Trading Fee (Transfer Market)	5%
Staking Program	5%
Stadium NFT Owner	5%	Paid directly to the match venue owner
DAO Treasury	7.5%	DAO multisig treasury
Liquidity Buffer	7.5%	Ecosystem-wide stability (AI-managed)

PIQUE acts as an ecosystem safeguard, not a creative authority. PIQUE: Automatically moderates content · Detects spam and abusive behavior · Records minting, trading, and revenue allocation data · Generates transparent reports for DAO oversight.

PIQUE does not have the authority to: Modify user-generated content · Interfere with pricing decisions · Mint NFTs on behalf of users.

Community Creator Hub	Primary NFT Drops
User-generated	Protocol-issued
Creative content, memes, fan art	Verified historic moments
Creators receive direct revenue	No direct player payouts
No fixed hard supply	Fixed supply, Flash Window

The two modules are complementary, not competitive.

The Community Creator Hub is not a "meme marketplace." It is: A creative space for the community · A revenue engine for fans · A cultural and emotional layer alongside gameplay.

Your moment. Your NFT. The value you create.

Fee Type	Amount	Purpose
Listing Fee	100 WC26 per listing	Prevent spam — paid upfront before listing
Transaction Fee (Success Fee)	5% of final sale value	Collected on successful trade only

Recipient	Allocation	Strategic Rationale
Staking Program	30%	Long-term staking & governance alignment
DAO Treasury	30%	Fund long-term development and operations
Liquidity Buffer	30%	Stabilize WC26 across ecosystem
Protocol Burn	5%	Reduce circulating supply pressure
Referral (F1=3%, F2=2%)	5%	Encourage user growth
TOTAL	100%

The Transfer Market operates fully on-chain. Assets are never custodially held by the protocol — all trades follow a P2P, non-custodial model.

PIQUE (AI Ops):

— Monitors market liquidity and trading activity

— Detects abnormal or manipulative behavior

— Generates transparency and audit reports for the DAO

PIQUE does NOT have authority to: set or manipulate prices · cancel or reverse trades · custody user assets.

The Transfer Market is more than a place to "buy and sell NFTs." It is:

— The core economic infrastructure of WC26

— A value distribution engine for the community, DAO, and ecosystem

— A bridge between gameplay, collecting, and strategic speculation

Every trade is not just an exchange of assets — it is a living transaction within the World Cup 2026 economy.

PIQUÉ is the AI Operations and Intelligence Layer — designed to support protocol operations, enhance transparency, and accompany the global fan community throughout the World Cup 2026 and future international tournaments. It does not function as an autonomous decision-making authority. Core principle: "The DAO defines the rules. PIQUÉ executes, explains, and operates strictly within those rules."

✅ PIQUÉ IS AUTHORIZED TO	❌ PIQUÉ IS NOT AUTHORIZED TO
Analyze and explain system data	Modify economic or gameplay rules
Execute DAO-approved rules	Mint tokens or NFTs outside approved processes
Coordinate ecosystem participation	Custody user assets
Communicate with and support the community	Influence prices or profit expectations
Monitor liquidity, detect wash trading/spam	Optimize for price, volume, or market performance

Governance participation in WC26 NFT Fantasy is commitment-based, identity-light, and risk-aware. Voting power and governance rights are earned through staking commitment, time alignment, and progressive identity verification.

The following governance actions are explicitly defined to ensure clear separation of authority, responsibility, and accountability within the WC26 NFT Fantasy DAO. These definitions apply uniformly across all governance tables, proposal classifications, and appendices.

Action	Primary Purpose	Creates Change?	Who Holds It
Propose	Initiate governance process	No	Tier-gated (Contributor+)
Vote	Approve or reject proposals	Yes (decides outcome)	Tier-gated
Ratify	Validate compliance & allow execution	No	Vanguard
Guard	Prevent boundary violations	No	Vanguard

"Propose introduces ideas. Vote determines consensus. Ratify protects the constitution. Guard protects survival."
These actions are intentionally separated to prevent concentration of power and to ensure that no single actor can both define, approve, and execute systemic change.
