Community Pool

The Gonka network maintains three key addresses that collectively manage community funds. This page documents their current balances, how funds flow between them, and every passed governance proposal that has received funding.

Community Pool (distribution module)

Address: gonka1jv65s3grqf6v6jl3dp4t6c9t9rk99cd8h2rzwa

Current balance: 102,705,110 GNK · $10,000 USDT

The Community Pool is the protocol-controlled treasury of the Gonka network. It accrues value through a 2% community tax applied to every inflation reward and network fee. These funds can only be spent through a successful governance vote — no single key controls them.

Since the network genesis, the Community Pool has received continuous inflows from transaction fees and inflation rewards, funding ecosystem development, marketing initiatives, and community programmes through passed governance proposals.

The $10,000 USDT held here was returned from proposal #42 — the planned Global Compute Sovereignty Summit was cancelled, and the proposer returned the allocated funds. See the return instructions for details.

Inflow rate: ~13,150 GNK/day (varies with block time, fee volume, and staking ratio).

Community Sale

Address: gonka18pkq9mwxxlmyq7kr5txhm060wemg2s4u94wvsfd9w2kdc0u99d6spk8pz2

Current balance: 17,500,000 GNK (~$10,500,000 USDT) · $764,075 USDT

This address was created by proposal #14 (passed 2025-11-27), which transferred 20,000,000 GNK from the Community Pool to seed a community sale programme at a fixed price of $0.60 per GNK.

The mechanism works as a simple swap: participants deposit USDT and receive GNK at the predetermined rate. The address holds both assets — USDT collected from buyers and the remaining GNK inventory.

For security, sale proceeds are distributed in tranches rather than all at once. The contract releases batches of GNK gradually to mitigate risk and ensure safe execution.

The USDT held here is used to pay bug bounties and development rewards — distributed automatically through the chain's upgrade handler during network hard forks, without requiring individual governance votes. Each upgrade version embeds a distributeBountyRewards() call that withdraws USDT directly from this contract to recipient addresses.

Important: The GNK held here is not part of the Community Pool. It is the undistributed balance of the sale contract — already allocated in proposal #14 and awaiting exchange. Only the USDT received from buyers is new value entering the Gonka ecosystem.

Gov Module (authority)

Address: gonka10d07y265gmmuvt4z0w9aw880jnsr700j2h5m33

Current balance: 2,563,650 GNK

The Gov Module authority is the only address permitted to execute MsgCommunityPoolSpend transfers from the Community Pool. When a governance proposal passes, this address signs and sends the requested funds to the specified recipient.

It also holds unallocated GNK set aside for governance-approved programmes that use batch-vesting or multi-send distributions.

How Community Pool Spending Works

  1. A governance proposal includes one or more funding messages — MsgCommunityPoolSpend (GNK/USDT from the Community Pool) or batch-vesting transfers (GNK from the Gov Module).
  2. If the proposal passes, the Gov Module authority address executes the transfers.
  3. USDT is held in the Community Pool as the IBC denom ibc/115F68FBA220A028C6F6ED08EA0C1A9C8C52798B14FB66E6C89D5D8C06A524D4 and transferred via MsgExecuteContract (withdraw_ibc).

Key constraint: No single key controls these funds — every spend requires a passed governance vote.

Bounty Distribution

Bounties are paid through the chain's upgrade handler — hardcoded in each network upgrade and executed automatically when validators update.

USDT bounties are paid from the Community Sale contract via withdraw_ibc. GNK bounties are distributed from the Gov Module.
