FEDERATION DESIGN SPEC · ACCESS & PAYMENT

Token Access & Payment Specification

How $GFOF would work as an optional way to pay for Dossier (Federation Intelligence) if paid access ever operates. Dossier’s pricing surface is currently withdrawn (Dossier corrections #024) while Program 01 is in Measurement Review. A payment option, never a gate. Published before the payment flow is built — spec before code. Verify everything against the corrections log.

READ FIRST — WHAT THIS IS AND ISN'T

$GFOF is specified as an optional way to pay for Dossier access, if paid access ever operates — no pricing tiers are currently offered; the pricing surface was withdrawn under Dossier corrections #024 while Program 01 (convergence) is in Measurement Review. The principle is standing either way: not a gate — fiat always available, nothing locked behind the token, holding or buying $GFOF never required for any access level. It is not an investment, pays no yield, and carries no promise of price appreciation. This is a design specification — the payment flow it describes is published before it is built.

SECTION 01Purpose & scope

This specification defines how the $GFOF token would function as an optional payment method for Dossier — the Federation Intelligence system — if paid access ever operates. No paid access currently operates.

In scope: paying for Dossier with $GFOF when paid access operates; how received $GFOF is handled; the framing rules that keep this utility rather than investment. Out of scope: yield, lending, staking-for-return, hold-to-access gating (Section 04), and any claim that $GFOF will appreciate (Section 08).

SECTION 02Design principle

Value through use, not through promised returns. Spending a token for a service is consumptive utility. Paying a holder a return for holding is the category currently unsettled in US law — the Digital Asset Market Clarity Act was not enacted as of June 2026, and yield was its most contested provision. This specification stays on the utility side of that line by design. Nothing here is legal advice.

SECTION 03Mechanism — pay with $GFOF

The single mechanism in this spec: the token is spent to buy the product.

SECTION 04Hold-to-access — explicitly excluded

NO TOKEN-GATE

Gating a tier behind holding $GFOF is not part of this spec and will not be built. The ruling is a standing access principle, not tied to any pricing era: no token-gate. If paid access ever operates, accepting $GFOF as a payment method gates nothing — fiat is always available and no access level requires the token. Any future reconsideration of holding-based access would require its own specification and a corrections-log entry.

SECTION 05Pricing & volatility handling

Subscription value is set in USD so product economics do not swing with the token. The $GFOF amount due is computed at checkout from a single, named price source — DexScreener (pair 3y4NNTfU3y1KzCChAJyQUv5RmX3zuZNxVbXer2vjASGE) — recorded here so the method is auditable.

SECTION 06Routing of received $GFOF

$GFOF received this way is Dossier revenue. It flows through the existing routing commitment recorded in corrections #011: staged 25% rising to 50% into $GFOF/SOL Raydium liquidity, quarterly, with on-chain proof. The remainder routes to operating treasury. There is no burn mechanism in this version. $GFOF-denominated subscription revenue is counted inside the #011 net-revenue base, so there is one routing rule, not two. The receiving wallet is a dedicated subscription wallet, separate from general treasury, with its address published on creation. Routing is described as plumbing, never as a price-support action.

SECTION 07Parameters

Set as of this version. Publication is the act that makes them live.

SECTION 08Anti-claims & standing guardrails

STANDING ANTI-CLAIMS

These appear, in substance, wherever this mechanism is described publicly:

  1. $GFOF access utility is not an investment — no yield, no interest, no return for holding.
  2. The value of access is independent of token price; access does not require, imply, or promise appreciation.
  3. The project will not market "buy $GFOF to profit."
  4. No staking-for-yield and no lending under this spec; both remain parked pending regulatory clarity, each requiring its own spec if pursued.
  5. Token routing (Section 06) is described as a mechanism, never as price support.
  6. $GFOF is never required to access Dossier. Fiat is always available. Accepting it as payment is an option, not a gate.

SECTION 09Regulatory posture

The Digital Asset Market Clarity Act was not law as of June 17, 2026; the security / commodity line it would draw is not yet in force, and yield mechanics were its most contested element. This spec is designed to sit on the utility / consumption side of that uncertainty rather than to test it. This document is a design artifact, not legal advice; counsel reviews Sections 03–08 before any public launch.

SECTION 10Relationship to specs & corrections

SECTION 11Versioning & status

This is v0.2 — parameters set, ready to publish. Publication is the act that makes these parameters live. Post-publication parameter changes are appended to the corrections log, never edited in place. Sequence from here: publish → counsel review of Sections 03–08 → announce → build the payment flow.
