The Citizen

Citizenship becomes a transferable NFT.

Model change. Membership is no longer mined and non-transferable — it is a Citizen NFT, bought, sold, and held.

Summary

0state is now a commune on Solana. Citizenship — once a franchise you could only earn by mining, and could never sell — is now a Citizen NFT: mint one, hold it, trade it, and holding it is your membership and your vote. The franchise has become a market good.

What changed

  • A new program, citizen. It mints transferable Citizen NFTs — true 1-of-1s with Metaplex metadata and a marker PDA that proves each genuine. The first tranche are Founding Citizens. Mint proceeds fund the treasury.
  • The vote reads ownership, not labour. zerostate now checks who holds a Citizen NFT — one NFT, one vote — and the vote travels with the token when it is traded. A holder of several NFTs casts several votes.
  • STATE is demoted. It remains the commune's mined currency and the commons treasury, spent only by a passed vote — but it is no longer the franchise.

To know

A reversal, chosen with eyes open. Memo No. 001 held that the franchise could not be bought — power from labour, never wealth. That thesis is now overturned: citizenship is transferable, so capital can acquire votes, and membership is a market good. This model was adopted deliberately.

Devnet only. The Citizen NFTs and STATE are a test network's and are worth nothing — nothing here is an offer, a sale, a security, or financial advice.

The Decoupling

frankcoin and 0state, separated — and shipped to devnet.

Pivot complete. Two projects split; three programs deployed and verified.

Summary

The two chain projects, once a single coupled pair, are now independent. 0state has cut loose from frankcoin and mines its own franchise, the STATE token. frankcoin has left the commune to become a standalone memecoin — mined and freely traded — led by the General Secretary. All three on-chain programs were built, deployed or upgraded, and verified on devnet.

What changed

  • 0state → a communist commune. A new proof-of-work program mints STATE. Mining STATE is the sole, un-buyable qualification for citizenship; one STATE in ten is routed to a keyless commons treasury, spent only by a passed vote. No steward, no admin — fully autonomous.
  • frankcoin → a memecoin under the General Secretary. The 10% levy and the 0state coupling were removed; every mined frank now goes to the miner. Democratic centralism, enforced in bytecode — the Party is the code.
  • zerostate (the voting program) now reads STATE proofs for membership and vote-weight, not frankcoin's.

On the money

STATE and frankcoin are both uncapped: the reward halves across a distribution phase, then floors at a perpetual 1-per-proof tail — emission never stops, and percentage inflation trends to zero. frankcoin's franks are SPL tokens with no freeze authority and a keyless mint authority; no program change can touch, freeze, or seize them.

To know

Membership reset. Because 0state no longer reads frankcoin, standing earned by mining frankcoin is void. Citizenship now resets to whoever mines STATE.

Devnet only. Devnet tokens cannot be sold and are worth nothing — nothing here is an offer, a sale, a security, or financial advice.
