Mission and Values
We’re on a mission to connect & reward purpose-driven people to world-changing impact projects through AI & blockchain technology, so that together we can create a better future.Problems with the Existing Systems
Expand to read more
Centralized systems put most of the control—and the decision-making—in the hands of a single company, institution, or authority. While this can make things efficient, it also creates major risks when everything depends on that one central point.
We see the downsides of centralization all around us:
- Food systems: a few large processors and distributors can create bottlenecks, shortages, or price swings that affect entire communities.
- Banking: outages, frozen accounts, slow transfers, and gatekeepers deciding who gets access to financial services.
- Data: major tech platforms storing huge amounts of personal information in one place, making them targets for hacks or misuse.
The core issue is simple: when one entity holds all the power, everyone else becomes dependent on their rules, their uptime, and their decisions.

Intro to Decentralization
Expand to read more
Decentralization means that no single company, person, or authority controls a network. Instead, power is shared across many independent computers (called nodes) that work together to keep the system running.
For beginners, the key idea is this: decentralization removes the need to trust one central gatekeeper. This makes systems more transparent, harder to shut down, and less vulnerable to single points of failure.

Blockchains with a Purpose
Expand to read more
We can all agree that the current systems are broken.
That's why, as a decentralized community, with the transparency and efficiency of blockchain technology, we are in a position to make an IMPACT.
Each of these Impact Projects is aimed at a traditional industry that is prime for disruption, where the current system benefits a small elite group on the backs of the many.
Join us on this mission and let's create an IMPACT creating Blockchains with a Purpose.
Connect and the Win Blockchain
Expand to read more
Connect is a company. A company with a focus of building blockchain-based products and services that align with its mission and values.
The Win Blockchain is a decentralized network owned by the node owners. These node owners are incentivized to host their nodes and participate in supporting and running this network by receiving digital reward distributions from the blockchain.
These are separate entities legally - mainly because the traditional systems don't think this way. These are new technologies and concepts [DAOs (Decentralized Autonomous Organizations) and decentalized entities focused on impact].
Connect, the company, is also owned by the node owners. No investors or venture capital backers to be accountable to. Managed by councils and the DGF, which is all made up of community node owners allowing the focus to be on IMPACT and UTILITY not profit or quarterly earnings.
The ownership shares of the company are in the process of being tokenized and then being transferred to the DGF (Distributed Governance Framework), which is the community-led entity that manages the Win Blockchain.
Yes, this is a little confusing. We get that. Because no one's ever done it before.

Nodes and NFTs
Expand to read more
Nodes
Nodes serve as a fundamental building block of the decentralized infrastructure by connecting computers to the blockchain. Nodes play a crucial role in verifying and validating transactions, ensuring consensus among participants, and maintaining the integrity of the blockchain's data.
Click here to learn more about nodes and how owning and hosting them helps you to participate in the blockchain and be rewarded for your efforts with digital rewards.
NFTs
NFT stands for Non-Fungible Token. Unlike cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin or Ethereum, NFTs cannot be replaced or exchanged for something of equal value — each one is unique.
NFTs are digital assets that can represent:
Each NFT features a built-in certificate of authenticity, powered by blockchain technology, making it easy to verify ownership and transfer securely. Because NFTs are usually one-of-a-kind or in limited supply, their value can increase as demand grows.
There are multiple different types of NFTs available through Connect and its Impact Partner Brands offering different types of utility. Click here to learn more about these NFTs and more.
Proof of Action and Action Items
Expand to read more
The term Proof of Action (PoA) in the Connect / Win Blockchain ecosystem refers to the consensus mechanism or protocol used to validate transactions and distribute rewards. Proof of Action is designed around real-world activity and participation within the Win Blockchain community.

Distribution
Expand to read more
In total, 50 billion (50,000,000,000) WIN tokens will be distributed over time to Win Node operators through the distribution algorithm. The Win rewards distribution is governed by a vote of Win Node operators as established in the Win Node Network Charter. The following section on the tokenomics of WIN is taken directly from the DGF (Distributed Governance Framework) website which also hosts the Charter.
Tokenomics refers to the economic system and mechanics behind a cryptocurrency or blockchain token. It encompasses the various ways in which a token is distributed, used, and valued within a blockchain ecosystem. Tokenomics play a crucial role in defining a token's utility, value proposition, and overall function within the network.
The total supply of WIN tokens is 50 billion (50,000,000,000). This supply is divided equally between two main groups: Node Operators and Builders (Impact BlockBots), with each group initially allocated 25 billion tokens.
Node Operator Proof-of-Action Rewards
- Distribution Strategy: 25 billion WIN tokens are allocated to active Node Operators, using a time-based distribution model that incorporates an annual halving mechanism. This process began on October 1, 2022.
-
Distribution Schedule:
- Year 1: 12,500,000,000 tokens
- Year 2: 6,250,000,000 tokens
- Year 3: 3,125,000,000 tokens
- Year 4: 1,562,500,000 tokens
- Year 5: 781,250,000 tokens
This shall continue in perpetuity or until all tokens allocated under this schedule have been distributed.
BlockBot Proof-of-Action Rewards
- Growth-Driven Distribution: 25 billion WIN tokens are distributed over time to active Node Operators who are Qualified Influencers (BlockBots). This distribution follows a growth-based schedule which distributes tokens daily whenever a qualifying Win Node license is added to the node network.
- Distribution Rate: For each distribution day, the amount of tokens to be distributed under this schedule shall be 62,500 tokens per qualifying Win Smart Node license, up to 100 Win Smart Node licenses, added to the network that day.
-
Adaptive Halving Mechanism: When half of the allocated
tokens have been distributed, the rate of distribution for each qualifying
Node license added to the network shall be halved.
For example:
- Once 12.5 billion tokens have been distributed under this schedule, the rate of distribution shall be halved to 31,250 tokens per qualifying Win Smart Node license added to the network.
- Once an additional 6.25 billion tokens have been distributed, the rate of distribution shall be halved again to 15,625 tokens per qualifying Win Smart Node license added to the network.
This shall continue in perpetuity or until all tokens allocated under this schedule have been distributed.
Digital Rewards
Digital Rewards are distributed every day to qualifying Win Nodes that perform actions as defined in the charter.
Decentralized Governance, DGF and Charter
Expand to read more
Governance is the way that decisions get made. Some blockchains rely on centralized governance, while others aim for decentralized and community-driven governance. Decentralized (sometimes called “distributed”) governance is not easy. It requires various mechanisms and processes designed to ensure the network's security, stability, and evolution. These processes include input from the community while shielding the blockchain from bad actors. The goal of distributed blockchain governance is to ensure that decisions are made collectively and transparently, reflecting the interests of the community as a whole rather than being controlled by a central authority.
The Win Blockchain is governed by the Win DGF, a blockchain governance coordination protocol made up of Win Node Owners.

Transaction and Confirmation Rewards
These are additional ways that nodes can be rewards for different Proof of Action activities.
Expand to read more
Nodes play a critical role by Verifying and confirming that transactions.
To encourage participation and network security, nodes are rewarded for these actions. These rewards can occur at different stages of the process, such as:
- Transaction rewards
- Confirmation rewards
- Block rewards
To learn more about these different types of rewards, please read this more detailed FAQ article.Node Support Rewards
These are additional rewards that community members can earn by becoming Impact BlockBots through additional Proof of Action activities.
