Once the required deposit is validated, activate your Plant and follow its eligible Generation. Add GIK to upgrade or expand as you grow.
Explore your community
Move from My Power Plant to My Village. Follow your progress alongside the community, with your rewards and asset history close at hand.
GRID Token
GIK powers your next step.
GIK is the token used to activate, upgrade and expand virtual Power Plants in GRID. It connects the Plant experience to the platform's Generation and reward system.
GIK
- Network
- BNB Smart Chain
- Token standard
- BEP-20
- Maximum supply
- 1,000,000,000 GIK
Activate your Plant
Start with a 2,000, 8,000 or 15,000 GIK Plant. The GIK assigned to your selected tier activates its capacity under GRID's Plant rules.
Upgrade its tier
Move to a higher tier by adding the GIK difference: 2,000 → 8,000, 2,000 → 15,000, or 8,000 → 15,000 GIK.
Expand its capacity
After reaching 15,000 GIK, add independent 15,000 GIK expansion modules. Each module follows its own growth and Startup Boost schedule.
Generation follows eligibility, settlement and cap rules. GIK's maximum supply is not its current circulating supply; market value and liquidity are not guaranteed.

GRID / GIK Whitepaper
Version 0.14
Mainnet deployment addendum · 12 October 2026
Read the deployment updateOperating policy supplement · updated 4 November 2026
For the topics below, this supplement replaces conflicting descriptions in historical Whitepapers v0.10, v0.11, v0.12 and v0.13. The current v0.14 raises Small and Medium Plant Generation from the 5 November 2026 01:00 KST economic basis, retaining the shared reward cap, four-decimal precision and withdrawal-burn policy. These documents record approved policy, not a notice that trading, withdrawals or Plant Generation are already active.
Read the approved policy changes
Reward withdrawal deductions and PO-initiated burn
Capacity-based Transmission Loss is deducted from Reward GIK withdrawals. Eligible net payouts are processed automatically, independently of burn approval. Deductions are held in separate burn custody until the PO chooses to initiate an aggregate on-chain burn through the existing 2-of-3 approval process. They are only reported as burned after chain confirmation; no fixed burn interval applies.
OTC rights stay inside the platform until withdrawal
After staff confirms an OTC credit, 100% of that purchase is recorded as locked rights for the member ID in the internal ledger, not sent on-chain at that point. The first actual CEX spot trading start releases 10%; the first 7.5% of the total allocation releases 60 days later, followed by monthly 7.5% releases for twelve releases in total. Released amounts move to Available GIK, not Reward GIK, and do not create roll-up or other network rewards.
Available GIK and the 1% external withdrawal fee
Released OTC can be used to establish Plants when that feature is enabled. External withdrawals from Available GIK carry a 1% company fee, not a burn. An OTC unlock itself is an internal ledger movement with no withdrawal fee or on-chain transfer. The external withdrawal is the point at which the recipient receives GIK on-chain.
TGE, listing and service activation are separate
TGE alone does not unlock OTC, start Plant Generation or open financial execution. Actual listing must be confirmed separately; Plant Generation starts no earlier than the following listing day under the established settlement rules. Deposits, Plant actions and external withdrawals each require separate operational activation and their applicable security checks. No listing date is announced by this supplement.
One shared 200% reward cap
Personal Generation, Referral, Rank and Village rewards together use 200% of current recognised active Plant capacity. Center fees, deposits and OTC releases do not consume this cap. If allowance is limited, pay only the remainder in that order. Reaching the cap stops new rewards, including Center fees; recorded payouts remain unchanged.
Gross reward payouts use up to four decimal places
For settlement bases from 5 November 2026 at 01:00 KST, all gross Generation, Referral, Rank, Village and Center rewards retain up to four decimal places: 0.01259 becomes 0.0125 GIK. Fifth and later digits are discarded without rounding up or carrying forward. No new minimum applies. Confirmed earlier payouts are not recalculated; the 4 November one-decimal rule remains applicable to those earlier records. Network reward rates and exact balance, withdrawal-fee and net-credit precision are unchanged.
Higher Small and Medium Generation from 5 November
From the 5 November 2026 01:00 KST economic basis, the 2,000-GIK Plant uses 0.50% / 0.35% / 0.25% and the 8,000-GIK Plant uses 1.00% / 0.80% / 0.60% for Days 1–30 / 31–60 / 61+. Daily Personal Generation before the remaining shared cap is 10 / 7 / 5 GIK and 80 / 64 / 48 GIK respectively. The 15,000-GIK rates remain 1.75% / 1.35% / 1.00%. Existing and new eligible holders use their actual age; deployment resets neither age nor consumed allowance. Earlier economic bases keep prior rates without recalculation or extra difference payouts, and graduated cycles are not reopened. Network rates and 5 / 10 / 20 Referral depths are unchanged. These rates do not guarantee price or unlimited rewards.
Roadmap & updates
A world with room to grow.
Beyond the core Plant and Village experience, GRID's whitepaper sets out a roadmap to broaden what members can do with GIK.
GRID Marketplace
A planned marketplace for goods and services from approved sellers, where members can use GIK within GRID instead of first converting it through an external exchange.
AI services & digital utility
The roadmap includes AI tools, agents, API credits and, over time, computing services. These are future service directions, following the core platform and marketplace foundation.

Get to know GRID.
What is a Power Plant in GRID?
A Power Plant is a virtual asset in GRID's game-like member world. You use GIK to activate and grow it, then follow Generation under the platform's rules. It is not a claim to a physical electricity-generating facility.
What do I use GIK for?
GIK activates your first Plant, pays the difference when upgrading its tier, and adds expansion modules after the 15,000 GIK tier. Unused deposited GIK can also fund these Plant actions. Reward Balance is separate and cannot be directly reinvested inside the platform.
How does Plant Generation work?
An activated Plant first becomes eligible for Generation on the next GRID settlement day. From the 5 November 2026 01:00 KST economic basis, Small and Medium rates rise across Days 1–30, 31–60 and 61+, while Core rates stay unchanged. Existing eligible Plants retain their actual age and consumed allowance; earlier bases keep prior rates. Personal Generation shares a reward cap with Referral, Rank and Village rewards; building a Plant does not create immediate or unlimited rewards.
Which rewards count toward the 200% cap?
Personal Generation, Referral, Rank and Village rewards together count toward a shared cap of 200% of your current recognized active Plant capacity. Center fees, deposits and OTC releases do not count toward it. When the remaining allowance is limited, rewards use it in this order: Personal Generation, Referral, Rank, then Village. Reaching the cap stops new Generation and rewards, including new Center fees; payouts already recorded remain unchanged.
Are small rewards paid too?
From the 5 November 2026 01:00 KST settlement, Generation and all rewards retain up to four decimal places, with fifth and later digits discarded. At the unchanged 0.5% Referral rate, the new 2,000-GIK Plant output of 10, 7 or 5 GIK yields 0.05, 0.035 or 0.025 GIK. The shared reward cap and eligibility conditions still apply. Earlier confirmed payouts are not recalculated.
What can I see in My Village?
My Village brings together your community's Plants and shared progress. Your member experience centers on your own Plants and Village, without exposing other members' private financial records.
How do member IDs work?
Registration uses email verification, with up to 10 member IDs per email—not a person-wide ID limit. Each member ID has its own sign-in and Plant activity.
Are Marketplace and AI services part of the core Plant experience?
No. The core experience centers on Power Plants and Villages. Marketplace purchases and AI tools, agents, API credits and computing are planned expansions in the whitepaper, not currently offered services or sources of promised Plant income.
