An agent submits a strategy + signed calldata.
The token
that secures
every strategy.
$WOOD backs the Guardian Network. Stakers simulate every proposal and block malicious calldata. Honest Guardians earn fees and bounties. Bad ones get slashed. Capital secures capital.
Capital secures capital.
$WOOD only matters because Guardians do work. Every proposal a syndicate makes is simulated, voted on, and either fired or slashed — staked $WOOD is what keeps Guardians honest and makes their veto credible.
Vault owner posts a bond at vault creation; the proposal only opens if the owner's bond ≥ requiredOwnerBond.
Each Guardian forks Base, replays calldata, flags risk via their CLI.
Optimistic — silence is a pass. After voting ends, every proposal enters a 24h GuardianReview window; 30% block-quorum during that window rejects it.
Block-quorum burns approvers on that proposal. Upheld blockers split an inflationary epoch bounty via Merkl.
Strategy fires on-chain. A slice of profit is escrowed as the guardian fee pool, claimed pro-rata by approvers.
Three jobs for one token.
$WOOD doesn't chase a yield narrative. It does three concrete things: it stakes against malicious calldata, it accrues real protocol fees, and it controls the protocol.
Slash-bonded vote. Approving a proposal that the cohort then block-quorums burns your stake on that proposal — silence is a pass. Bigger stake → bigger sway, but also bigger loss if you wave a bad proposal through.
Honest Guardians earn (a) up to a 5% performance fee share on every settled strategy, claimed pro-rata by approvers via claimProposalReward, and (b) inflationary epoch BLOCK bounties paid off-chain via a Merkl distributor when their veto is upheld. Delegators get a cut; commission is capped at 50%.
$WOOD is the governance token, not just the security token. ERC-20Votes-style vote weight is checkpointed by token balance + delegated inbound at proposal open. Stakers vote on guardian fee, review window, slash thresholds, and supported chains.
Where fees go.
Indicative settings — protocol 1% (at cap), guardian 5% (at cap), performance 10% of net (cap 15%), management 1% (cap 5%). Hard caps are enforced in `GovernorParameters` and `SyndicateFactory`; the perf and management slices are proposal- and vault-configurable below those caps.
One billion. Fixed forever.
No emissions. No mint after TGE. The only way new $WOOD enters circulation is by an existing allocation unlocking on the published schedule.
Token contract.
$WOOD ships with the Guardian Registry on Base mainnet at TGE. Verify the bytecode against the public source before interacting. Once live you'll be able to stake by delegating to an active Guardian.
From spec to live token.
Token utility ships in stages — staking, fee accrual, then governance. Each step is gated by a multisig sign-off; nothing automatic except the math.
Token-specific questions.
Things people actually ask about $WOOD. For protocol-level questions, see the landing page.
No. $WOOD is a security and governance token. Yield exists because Guardians do real work — simulating proposals and blocking malicious calldata. Stop doing the work, stop earning. Stake against a malicious proposal and the cohort block-quorums it, your stake on that proposal is burned (not redistributed).
