WIN token: the basics
WIN is the native token of the WIN Blockchain. It has a fixed maximum supply of 50 billion tokens — there is no mechanism to mint additional WIN beyond this hard cap. This supply ceiling is verifiable on the blockchain itself.
Tokens are distributed through Proof of Action — participation in the network earns WIN, rather than passive holding or early purchase. The emission rate is governed by a built-in halving schedule, with any changes requiring a DGF governance vote.
WIN Layer-1 vs WIN ERC-20: what is the difference?
WIN exists in two forms, on two different networks. Understanding the distinction matters for how you hold and verify it:
WIN Layer-1 (native)
The native WIN token on the WIN Blockchain. This is what is earned through Proof of Action and what node owners use for governance voting. Visible at win.elevatescan.com. Held in a WIN L1-compatible wallet.
WIN ERC-20 (Ethereum bridge)
WIN bridged to the Ethereum network. Accessible through standard Ethereum wallets (MetaMask, etc.) and visible on Etherscan. Provides access to Ethereum's liquidity ecosystem. The bridge converts between the two forms.
Both represent the same underlying asset at a 1:1 ratio. The bridge allows WIN to move between the native Layer-1 and Ethereum as needed.
WIN wallets: where tokens are held
WIN L1 tokens are held in wallets on the WIN Blockchain. These wallets are separate from Ethereum wallets, though the ERC-20 bridge makes WIN accessible in Ethereum-compatible wallets. The WIN Blockchain currently has over 33,600 wallet addresses, verifiable at win.elevatescan.com.
For wallet setup, the Connect United platform and support documentation at support.connectunited.com are the authoritative sources. Wallet setup specifics can change with platform updates.
How rewards are distributed
Rewards on the WIN Blockchain are distributed in WIN tokens based on Proof of Action participation. Key points about distribution:
- Rewards go directly to the node owner's wallet — they are not held in escrow by Connect United
- Distribution timing and rates are set by governance parameters under the DGF
- The halving schedule reduces emission rates over time — this is built into the protocol, not a management decision
- All reward transactions are visible on the WIN Blockchain explorer
