A verified identity, genuine peer connections, and a members’ marketplace — with a self-custody wallet built in.
Inside the app
A verified social feed, a members' marketplace, real profiles, and a self-custody wallet — built in.
LWK Utility Token · Whitepaper v1.0 · May 2026
LWK is a utility token — a medium of exchange, not a security. It powers in-app payments, network rewards and protocol-level deflation across Linework's four consumer verticals.
| Token name | Linework Utility |
| Symbol | LWK |
| Standard | ERC-20 |
| Network | Polygon |
| Initial supply | 1,000,000,000 (1B) — fixed at TGE, deflationary thereafter |
| Audit | CertiK — Service Agreement signed April 28, 2026 |
| Issuer | Linework USA Inc., Delaware C-Corp, EIN 38-4280736 |
Section 01 — Vision
Linework is the consumer surface of an on-chain economy. Most consumer crypto products force a choice: a wallet without a marketplace, a marketplace without a social layer, a social network without a way to move value. Linework collapses the three — a self-custody wallet, a marketplace, and a feed where interactions can carry value, all sharing one identity and one currency: LWK.
Section 02 — Utility
LWK is the medium of exchange for everything that happens inside the Linework app — three functions, all live the moment the token launches.
Every store transaction across the four verticals settles in LWK — direct transfer to the merchant, creator or issuer, with a 1% Hub fee split between burn and Treasury.
Actions that grow the network — providing liquidity, reaching a rank threshold, holding tokens over time — yield LWK from the Ecosystem bucket (30% of supply).
Network fees are paid in LWK and partially rebated. Users interacting only via the dApp never need MATIC — the Hub absorbs gas at protocol level.
| Source | Mechanism | Pressure |
|---|---|---|
| Users | Acquire LWK to spend in the app | Continuous, scales with active users |
| Creators / merchants | Receive LWK, convert when needed (Hub burn applies) | Continuous, scales with activity |
| Speculators | Acquire LWK as exposure to ecosystem growth | Cyclical, follows sentiment |
| Treasury buyback | Quarterly market-buy from app revenue | Counter-cyclical, supports price |
Supply pressure is bounded and decreasing: vesting limits monthly release, continuous burn removes tokens on every Hub transaction, quarterly buyback cancels another tranche, and no minting occurs after TGE — 1B is the maximum supply that will ever exist. Demand grows with usage; supply shrinks with usage.
Section 03 — Tokenomics
One billion tokens are minted at the Token Generation Event. From that moment on, supply only goes down. Hover or tap a segment for detail.
| Bucket | % | LWK | Purpose |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ecosystem rewards | 30% | 300,000,000 | Creator rewards, staking, LP mining, rank/retention bonuses, quests, education grants |
| Treasury (initial) | 20% | 200,000,000 | Operations, audits, contingency, governed by Linework USA Inc. multisig |
| Fairlaunch | 20% | 200,000,000 | Pool DEX at fairlaunch close — pricing discovered by market |
| Team | 15% | 150,000,000 | Founder, early engineers, critical hires; 12mo cliff + 24mo linear |
| Migration | 10% | 100,000,000 | LWC (Ethereum) redemption; 18mo linear vesting |
| Advisors | 5% | 50,000,000 | Strategic advisors; 6mo cliff + 12mo linear |
| Total | 100% | 1,000,000,000 |
All vesting is on-chain and enforced by a Vester contract. Toggle a bucket below to compare unlock curves over 42 months.
Section 07 — Deflation
A uniform 1% fee applies on swaps, payments, tips and cross-chain bridging through the LinkSwap Hub — split 0.7% burn (destroyed forever) and 0.3% Treasury. Pure peer-to-peer transfers, liquidity provision and vested/migrated claims are fee-free.
| Action | Fee | Burn | Treasury |
|---|---|---|---|
| Swap, payment, tip, bridge | 1% | 0.7% | 0.3% |
| P2P transfer, LP, vesting claim | 0% | — | — |
Every quarter, 50% of net app revenue market-buys LWK on the open DEX and burns it permanently; the other 50% is retained at Treasury in USDC. Modelling assumes 200M circulating LWK at year 1 and daily Hub volume near 5% of circulating supply — conservative for a consumer app at scale.
Three years post-launch, roughly 17% of initial supply is destroyed under these conservative assumptions; with higher adoption the figure approaches 25–30%, comparable to the market's more aggressive deflationary tokens.
Section 08 — Treasury
The Treasury is not a fixed reserve that depletes — it's a topped-up fund whose balance grows with usage. The 200M LWK initial allocation covers the early period; four streams sustain it permanently.
Controlled by a multisig requiring 4-of-7 approval: 3 Linework USA Inc. board signers, 2 external advisors, and 2 community-elected delegates rotating annually. Material actions above $50,000-equivalent carry an additional 48-hour public timelock before execution — a pattern borrowed from Aave, Compound and MakerDAO.
Section 09 — Smart Contracts
Each contract has one job, and dependencies between them are explicit and audited. Tap a card for its responsibility.
Security primitives: OpenZeppelin Contracts as the base library, ReentrancyGuard on all value-handling functions, Checks-Effects-Interactions throughout, Pausable emergency response, SafeERC20 wrappers, pull-pattern claims, and fuzz testing on commission-split, vesting and swap math prior to audit submission.
Section 10 — Audit & Security
Linework USA Inc. signed a Service Agreement with CertiK on April 28, 2026. The engagement covers static analysis of all 8 Solidity contracts, manual review by senior auditors, dynamic fuzz/invariant testing, economic and governance threat modelling, re-audit of any modified code, and publication of the final report on CertiK Skynet.
Section 11 — Roadmap
Dates are targets; final dates depend on audit completion and regulatory clearance.

Section 12 — Risks
Participation in LWK carries substantial risk. This list is non-exhaustive and informs, rather than limits, each participant's duty to assess their own situation.
