LITEPAPER
People Blockchain — Litepaper
The blockchain where every user is a verified human.
Owned by people, not VCs.
Our mission: put a blockchain in the hands of ordinary people — no code, no crypto skills, no bots, no insiders.
v1.0 · October 2026 · Numbers are preliminary and subject to community governance. Nothing in this document is a promise of income.
Preliminary · not a promise of income
Version: v1.1 · 12 Oct 2026
- 1B
- PPL, fixed supply
- 10%
- of every launched token to its community
- 0%
- of fees burned — all shared
- 0
- VC or investor allocations
At launch the creator can also send the unsold curve remainder (up to ~17%) to the pool instead of burning it — up to 27% in total.

At a glance
| Supply | 1,000,000,000 PPL, fixed |
| Every launched token | 10% guaranteed at launch (up to 27% total with curve remainder) |
| Network fees burned | 0% — every fee is shared |
| Who earns rewards | Verified humans (Telegram phone or Human Passport) |
| Funding | Self-funded. No VC. No investor allocation. |
| Network today | Public testnet — Cosmos EVM, chain id `people_97401-1` / EVM `97401` |

The problem
Crypto was built for insiders. Most chains assume you can read code, manage seed phrases and spot a scam on your own.
Bots get the rewards. Airdrops and reward programs are farmed by scripts and fake accounts. Real people get a sliver.
Launches favour whales. Private rounds and insider allocations mean that the community often arrives last and pays the highest price.
03
Our answer
A blockchain for ordinary people. A phone or a browser is enough. Launch a token, mint club cards or raise money for an idea — with a form, not code.
Verified humans, not bots. Rewards go to accounts that passed a free human check. One person, one account. Sign-up alone earns nothing.
10% of every new token goes to its community pool — guaranteed. At launch the creator can also send the unsold curve remainder (up to ~17%) to the pool instead of burning it — up to 27% in total. Built into the protocol, not promised in a post. The pool is governed by the PEOPLE timelock and paid out to verified people over time, not instantly; this is not a yield promise. It is never mixed with network fees.

Product
What you can do without code:
| Tool | What it does | Status |
|---|---|---|
| No-code tokens | Name, ticker, image, supply. The token goes live on its own bonding curve; the first trade sets the price. 10% of supply goes to the token's community pool at launch (up to ~17% more from curve leftovers if the creator chooses); the creator's share vests over 180 days. | Live on testnet |
| NFT club cards | Membership cards for a club, a café or a community — one per member, with an image you upload or generate. | Live on testnet |
| Fundraising | Collect support for a project with reviewed contract templates: escrow, vesting, token-weighted vote. Your community buys in on the curve, so demand sets the price — not a private round. | Live on testnet |
| AI contracts | Describe a smart contract in plain words. It is assembled from OpenZeppelin templates and you see the result before you deploy. | Live on testnet |
| Community AI agents | Agents that work for a group: a Safe-based community wallet with spending limits, whitelists and an emergency freeze. Parameters change only by token vote; every action is visible in the explorer. | Testnet: 1 community agent live |

Technology
Cosmos EVM. People runs on a Cosmos EVM stack: Ethereum-compatible smart contracts and 0x addresses on a Cosmos chain.
| Parameter | Value |
|---|---|
| Cosmos chain id | `people_97401-1` |
| EVM chain id | `97401` |
| Native coin | PPL (base denom `appl`, 18 decimals) |
| Address prefix | `people1…` (and the same account as `0x…` in EVM) |
| Network status | Public testnet — not mainnet |
Validators. Validators run the network and are paid from the pre-allocated validator pool plus 30% of every network fee. Testnet validators run for testing only; opening validation and staking to the public is a later roadmap stage.
Verification — one check that you are a person. Free, done once:
- Level 1 — Telegram: share your phone number once in our Telegram bot. One number per founder. Earns 50% of base points.
- Level 2 — Human Passport: verify with Human Passport. Earns 100% of base points.
- No verification, no points. No founder points on testnet and no personal PPL rewards on mainnet without it.
Verification is free. No biometrics required.

Tokenomics
Fixed supply: 1,000,000,000 PPL. Years 1–4: 0% inflation. From year 5, any new emission is capped at 2% a year and only by community vote.

Community & rewards
35% genesis bucket — founders, bounties, ambassadors, airdrops and onboarding rewards only from this pool (released over 6 years).
- Share
- 35%
- Amount
- 350M PPL
Unlocked over time
15% of supply. 0% at launch, a 6-month cliff, then 18 months linear — fully vested at month 24.
100% of token and NFT launch fees (USDC/USDT) go to public PPL buybacks. 30% of network fees go to public PPL buybacks (treasury 20% + liquidity 10%). The remaining 70% go to validators (30%), the community pool (25%) and the Growth Pool (15%) — and it all ultimately goes back to participants.
Genesis allocation
| Bucket | Share | PPL |
|---|---|---|
| Community & rewards | 35% | 350,000,000 |
| Validators & staking | 20% | 200,000,000 |
| Team & founders | 15% | 150,000,000 |
| Ecosystem treasury (DAO) | 15% | 150,000,000 |
| Community sale | 10% | 100,000,000 |
| Liquidity | 5% | 50,000,000 |
- Team & founders vesting (15% of supply): 0% at launch, 6-month cliff, then 18 months linear (24 months total).
- No investor bucket. There is no VC or private-round allocation.
- Rewards come from existing pools. Founders, bounties, ambassadors and airdrops are paid only from the Community & rewards bucket. No new coins are minted for them.
Network fee split
Every protocol fee, including fractional fees, is split the same way:
| Recipient | Share |
|---|---|
| Validators | 30% |
| Community pool | 25% |
| Treasury | 20% |
| Liquidity | 10% |
| Growth Pool | 15% |
| Burn | 0% |
Buybacks. The treasury (20%) and liquidity (10%) shares are used for public PPL buybacks. Nothing is burned to fake scarcity — fees go back to the network and its people.
Token-launch fee. Live on testnet: the deployed factories currently charge a fixed fee in PPL — 1.045005 PPL to launch a token and 2.925 PPL to mint an NFT. The approved plan is a flat 5 USD per token launch and 10 USD per NFT mint, payable in PPL, USDT or USDC, with a 20% discount for paying in PPL at a TWAP price. The stablecoin option and the TWAP discount are not in the deployed code yet. 100% of launch fees goes to the public PPL buyback, and the bought-back PPL is split 30/25/20/10/15 by the treasury multisig, same as every other buyback.
07
Million Founders
Be one of the first million verified people. Get a founder number, invite friends and earn points when they do real things on the network.
Points come from real actions, not sign-ups. You earn invite points only after your invitee has verified, created a wallet and done at least one real testnet action (swap, liquidity pool, NFT mint, token launch or governance vote). Sign-up alone = 0.
How points become PPL:
PPL per point = season pool ÷ all points earned in the season
- Season 1 pool: 6,000,000 PPL, paid from the existing Million Founders pool. No new coins. When the pool is empty, the program stops.
- Payout: 10% at once, the remaining 90% in equal weekly slices over 52 weeks.
- Anti-farming: two referral levels only, a per-season cap on active invitees, and clawback of points from accounts flagged as bots.
Preliminary. Points, the PPL-per-point rate and the season budget may change before mainnet. Not a promise of income.

PPL sale on Base
The PPL sale runs on Base only (PplCurveHub, USDC or USDT). Published sale parameters (exponential curve from $0.005 per PPL, up to 100M PPL on the curve, $4M graduation) are on /buy; purchases stay disabled until the sale contract is published. Mainnet of the PEOPLE network is a separate step.

| Season 0 — Public testnet | Wallets, verification, token launches, NFT cards, swaps, Million Founders points. | Now |
| Mainnet + PPL sale | Mainnet launches. Published sale parameters (exponential curve from $0.005 per PPL, up to 100M PPL on the curve, $4M graduation) are on `/buy`; purchases stay disabled until the sale hub contract is deployed. | At least 1,000 verified people and a live treasury multisig |
| Staking & validators | Staking and validator participation open beyond the project. | After mainnet |

Team & funding
- Anonymous by choice. A small team. We publish work, code and rules, not faces.
- Self-funded. No VC money. No investor allocations. No private round.
- Same rules as everyone. The team's 15% vests: 0% at launch, 6-month cliff, then 18 months linear (24 months total). There is no team line in the network fee split.

Security
- Audited by: Claude Opus 5.5, GPT Astra, Fable 5.1. Bug bounty: report a vulnerability from the bug button on any page.
- Treasury multisig. The treasury will be held in a multisig before mainnet; signer addresses will be published.
- Published addresses. Sale, vesting and liquidity contract addresses will be published at mainnet launch — no placeholders.
- Bot defence. Human verification, per-device and per-IP limits, daily point caps and bot clawback.
- Proven building blocks. No-code contracts are assembled from OpenZeppelin templates.

Risks & disclaimer
- No promise of income. PPL, points and rewards are not an investment product. Nothing here promises profit, yield or returns.
- Prices can go to zero. Token prices can go up, down, or to zero.
- Testnet is not mainnet. Testnet tokens and balances carry no value. Points are a record of activity, not a payout guarantee.
- Everything is preliminary. Numbers, schedules and rules may change before mainnet and are subject to community governance.
- Technology risk. Software can have bugs. An audit reduces risk; it does not remove it.
- Regulation. Rules differ by country and may change. Published PPL sale parameters are on `/buy` (curve from $0.005 per PPL); purchases stay disabled until the sale hub contract is deployed. No KYC or sale-eligibility checks run on this site.
- Do your own research. This litepaper is information, not financial, legal or tax advice.

What changed in v1.0
- Up to 27% of a new token's supply can reach its community pool: 10% at launch, guaranteed, plus up to ~17% from curve leftovers if the creator chooses community pool over burn at launch. Payouts are governed by the PEOPLE timelock to verified people over time — not instant, not a yield promise.
- Team vesting is 0% at launch, a 6-month cliff, then 18 months linear (24 months in total).
- Launch fees: the approved plan is a flat 5 USD per token launch and 10 USD per NFT mint, payable in PPL, USDT or USDC, with a 20% discount for paying in PPL at a TWAP price; the deployed factories still charge a fixed PPL fee.
- The PPL community sale uses the published exponential curve on `/buy` (starts at $0.005 per PPL; prices and limits are public; the buy action stays off until the hub contract is deployed). No KYC or sale-eligibility checks are run on this site.
- Security: Audited by: Claude Opus 5.5, GPT Astra, Fable 5.1; bug bounty on every page.
- The treasury multisig is 2-of-3 and is created before mainnet.
