Validators, Tired of the Web2.5 Bullshit?

Endless “APY” promises that get devoured by token inflation. “Decentralized” networks controlled by VCs and foundation treasuries. “Permissionless” chains that demand enterprise-level hardware and a minimum stake higher than your life’s savings.

If you are OK with the corporatization of Web3 – GHOST is NOT for you.

But if you are tired of the lies… welcome to GHOST!!

GHOST Ecosystem

GHOST is the world’s first Web3 Vita Money – a living, organic, value-driven digital ecosystem designed to sustain and grow through utility.

Comprised of a foundational Layer 1 blockchain and a suite of ghostDAO-powered DApps, GHOST creates a unified, trustless, and interoperable monetary system that enables anyone, anywhere to:

  • Use censorship-resistant digital currency
  • Validate the network without permission
  • Monetize services and infrastructure freely

all without corporate gatekeepers, whitelists, or prohibitive financial barriers.

Figure 1. GHOST Ecosystem.   

In short: GHOST is what decentralized money was always meant to be: open, organic, and owned and managed by its users – not institutions.

The First Permissionless PoS Chain

GHOST is not just another proof-of-stake (PoS) network – we are the first truly permissionless PoS chain, designed so anyone can run a validator node directly from their personal computer.

Lowest Hardware Requirements

Unlike corporate chains that demand data-center-level hardware, GHOST is built for people, not institutions. Our requirements ensure broad accessibility without sacrificing performance or security.

No KYC, Geo restrictions, Whitelists

Your node, your rules.

GHOST validators will never be forced to complete KYC, comply with geographic restrictions, or qualify for whitelisting.

GHOST validators will never be forced to complete KYC, comply with geographic restrictions, or qualify for permissioned whitelists.

No, decentralization is not a “process”. You are either decentralized from genesis – or you never will be.

If you can run the node, you can validate the network.

No exceptions. No excuses. No questions asked.

Actually Open Source

In a space where “open source” is often a marketing lie, GHOST commits to radical transparency. While projects like Hyperliquid only allow Docker-based node operation, LayerZero keeps its relayer code closed-source, and Uniswap V4 hides behind restrictive licenses, GHOST’s entire codebase will remain fully open source – forever.

This isn’t just about technology – it’s about returning control to the user.

No gatekeepers. No backdoors. Just unstoppable code.

Proof-of-69 Genesis

At GHOST, we do not follow “industry standards” – we reimagine them. That’s why we’re introducing the Proof-of-69 Genesis: a fair, transparent, and validator-centric model that ensures the entire genesis allocation goes to those who secure the network.

Figure 2. Initial Coin Allocations.

Unlike typical “fair launches” dominated by insiders and VCs, 100% of GHOST’s premine is distributed exclusively to Testnet Validators who reliably maintain a CASPER Testnet validator node for at least 69 days prior to the Mainnet launch.

Let’s be clear: GHOST Council members, Whales, and other community participants receive zero genesis allocation.

There are no special privileges. No backroom deals. Just code and commitment.

Genesis Allocation

Each qualified CASPER Testnet validator receives 1 $GHST on Mainnet.

If 1,000 validators qualify, the total genesis supply will be 1,000 $GHST.

This fixed, validator-driven emission ensures a fair start and aligned incentives from day one.

Multiple Nodes

Run Multiple Nodes, Earn Multiple Allocations.

We encourage you to run multiple nodes – not just for greater rewards, but to stress-test the network and prepare for Mainnet scaling.

More nodes = greater genesis allocation.

This is your chance to build your validator presence risk-free while contributing to GHOST’s resilience.

100x Higher Organic APY

Proof-of-Stake chains love to flaunt flashy APY numbers. But look closer, and you’ll find most are built on artificial inflation – not real value.

We draw a clear line between two types of yield:

  • Organic APY: Sustainable earnings from real network usage – transaction fees, tips, MEV, etc. This yield doesn’t dilute the token supply. It’s earned.
  • Synthetic APY: Artificial yield backed by hidden subsidies and public inflation. It’s the economic equivalent of empty calories – it looks good until you realize it’s diluting your share.

\displaystyle \text{Total APY} = \text{Organic APY} + \text{Synthetic APY}

Figure 3. Initial Coin Allocations.

GHOST is different. We know transaction fees alone can’t support strong validator rewards. So we introduced a powerful second source of 100% Organic APY: Bridging Fees.

By capturing fees from cross-chain transactions, GHOST generates real revenue – creating a high, sustainable, non-inflationary APY that doesn’t dilute holders or rely on hidden subsidies.

Trustless and Anonymous Entry and Exit

The GHOST ecosystem is built for sovereign individuals. We enable truly trustless and anonymous participation – from initial entry to final exit. Unlike projects that rely on centralized exchanges (CEXs) for liquidity and price discovery, $GHST will only be traded on decentralized exchanges (DEXes). This ensures fair, permissionless, and private access for everyone.

No gates, No guards, No geographic restrictions.

Entry

  • Genesis Entry: Participants in the Proof-of-69 Genesis event receive their initial $GHST allocation without KYC, geo-blocks, or whitelists – just pure, merit-based validation.
  • Typical Entry: All subsequent entry into $GHST occurs via decentralized exchanges, ensuring continuous anonymous and censor-resistant access.

Exit

Need to exit? Do it seamlessly, anonymously, and without permission – directly through the same DEX infrastructure. Your liquidity, your control.

No other chain offers this level of economic sovereignty. This is freedom in code.

GHOST is the first Web3 Vita Money

Bitcoin pioneered the concept of a digital reserve currency, mirroring the role of precious metals in a multi-trillion-dollar monetary revolution.

Yet all current Proof-of-Stake blockchains operate not as open monetary systems, but as technology companies. They sell tokenized equity, reserve large allocations for insiders and VCs, and prioritize shareholder value over decentralization at the expense of permissionless participation and fair distribution.

There’s nothing inherently wrong with this model – it is a valid approach to building and funding technology. But let’s be clear: it’s not revolutionary. It’s venture capital, tokenized.

So it should come as no surprise when these “decentralized” chains enforce KYC, whitelists, and corporate governance maximizing returns for founders and investors, not users.

GHOST is different.

We introduce Vita Money: a living, organic, value-driven digital currency designed to sustain and grow through utility, not speculation. Unlike fiat or commodity-backed reserves, Vita Money is anchored in verifiable digital scarcity, open participation, and real-use economic activity.

Figure 6. Vita Money beats Reserve and Fiat Moneys.

Our aim is not to compete with Bitcoin as digital gold. It’s to disrupt the $400 trillion Vita Asset industry by offering money that people deserve.

GHST is not just another token.

It’s a new monetary paradigm.

Secure Your Proof-of-69 Genesis Allocation

Earning a genesis validator spot on the GHOST Mainnet is straightforward, transparent, and strictly based on proven contribution – not privilege or payment. To qualify, your node must meet two simple criteria:

✅ It must operate as an active, properly functioning validator on the latest version of the CASPER Testnet.

✅ It must remain continuously active for at least 69 consecutive eras (where 1 era ≈ 24 hours) leading up to the GHOST Mainnet launch.

This means:

No last-minute joining. No shortcuts. Just consistent, reliable network support.

Your dedication secures the network—and in return, secures your place in the genesis block.
