W Coin Utility
Staking and Farming
WCO holders can stake to secure the network and earn rewards. Long-term stakers receive additional bonuses, encouraging sustained participation. Users may also participate in farming or liquidity mining programs to earn WCO rewards by providing liquidity to designated pools.
Enterprise Use-Cases
Enterprises holding WCO gain access to exclusive features such as enhanced transaction capabilities and priority support. Additionally, enterprises can use WCO to pay transaction fees at discounted rates within the W Chain ecosystem.
Exclusive Access and Governance
W Coin (WCO) holders have early access to platform features, beta programs, and exclusive events. They can participate in governance decisions, allowing them to influence the future direction of the platform.
Liquidity Provision
To maintain a healthy trading environment and consistent market presence, an initial liquidity pool of 100 Million WCO paired with a Stablecoin will be established. Additionally, 400 Million WCO are allocated as reserves for ongoing liquidity provision to stabilise trading as the platform expands.
Incentives and Rewards
Node Rewards
Validators running nodes on the network receive rewards in WCO annually, incentivising network security and stability.
Staking Rewards
Stakers earn an annual yield based on the stake amount and duration, with bonus tiers for extended staking commitments. This incentivises long-term participation and helps maintain network security.
Development Fund Release Milestones
A total of 1 Billion WCO are allocated to the Development Fund, released upon the achievement of specific milestones:
| Milestone | W Coin Allocation |
|---|---|
| Mainnet Launch | 100 Million |
| Layer 2 Launch | 100 Million |
| Future Developments | 800 Million |
Note: Detailed allocations for 2026-2027 milestones will be published as W Chain continues to grow, ensuring resources align with ongoing platform requirements and expansion opportunities.
Supply and Emission Schedule
Initial Circulating Supply
Includes tokens from the liquidity provision and a portion of the treasury to establish a stable market base.
Emission Rate

Deflationary Mechanisms
Potential Coin burns or other mechanisms may be introduced in the future to regulate supply and enhance WCO’s value.
