ZergLand White Paper.
The technical and economic blueprint for a non-profit, on-chain village on a mountaintop plateau in the Balıkesir highlands.
2. LAND
LAND is an ERC-721 on Polygon granting a 5-year right of use to a unique hexagonal plot in the physical village. LAND is transferable during its term. Renewal extends the right for another term and pays the village's maintenance fee. An un-renewed LAND returns to the treasury and is reissued from the waitlist.
3. Economy
All on-chain transactions settle in MATIC. There are no profit distributions: every fee flows into the village treasury.
4. Treasury and non-profit structure
ZergLand is non-profit by design. LAND issuance and renewals, retreats, residencies, farm and workshop products, and research partnerships all settle into a single on-chain treasury. Outflows fund maintenance and operations, infrastructure, shared services, and a reserve fund for emergencies. The treasury is auditable on-chain and accompanied by an annual public report.
5. Governance
LAND holders propose and vote on construction priorities, research grants, and policy. Quorum and voting weight are documented on-chain.
6. Roadmap
Foundation → Build → Open → Scale. Each phase has measurable, public milestones.
