TorchCoin Whitepaper

1. What is TorchCoin?

TorchCoin is a meme-based memecoin. But it's also something more — a spark that brings together a community of people who believe in creativity, democratic governance, and economic equality. All with a lighter touch.

Creativity as a foundational currency — memes, ideas, and voices all matter
Democratic participation — token holders help shape the future
Economic fairness — a transparent token with community-first distribution

We're serious about the mission. Just not too serious about ourselves.

TorchCoin invites anyone — seasoned dev, casual meme lord, or curious newcomer — to carry the torch, shape the project, and keep the flame alive.

2. Roadmap: Where We’re Going

Phase 1: Light the Flame 🔥

Launch the official website and whitepaper
Open the meme gallery and community submission flow
Begin community building via social platforms and Discord

Phase 2: Stoke the Fire 🔥🔥

Enable meme voting and curation features
Release wallet prototype with token balance display
Launch meme contests and creative bounties

Phase 3: Pass the Torch 🔥🔥🔥

Token utility testing (e.g., meme voting, reputation scores)
Activate community treasury with proposal system
Implement governance mechanics (one token, one vote)

We’re building in public. Slowly, openly, and with enough self-awareness to know this isn’t a race. It’s a bonfire — and everyone’s invited to bring wood.

3. Voting: One Person, One Vote (Ideally)

TorchCoin isn’t ruled by whales. It’s guided by people.

We're committed to building a system where each person has an equal voice — not just the loudest wallet. That means exploring “one person, one vote” as the foundation for our governance.

Reputation-based participation
Community verification tools (like Gitcoin Passport or BrightID)
Hybrid models that combine identity and stake, not just tokens alone

We don’t have all the answers — yet. But we know what kind of community we want to be. And we’ll get there together.
